Hledání českobratrského výtvarnictví


Publikace se vydává po stopách výtvarného umění v kostelech a modlitebnách Českobratrské církve evangelické, kde obvykle pro silný vliv reformované tradice výtvarná díla příliš neočekáváme, a kde přitom přesto můžeme objevit zajímavé umělecké počiny. Ve snaze nabídnout východiska k interpretaci těchto nálezů pátrá text knihy po důvodech, pro které výtvarná díla do reformovaného prostředí postupně pronikají, zkoumá kontexty, do nichž vstupují, zjišťuje, jakou funkci v rámci bohoslužebného provozu plní a jakých významů nabývají, a všímá si podob, jež na sebe při tom berou. Obecnější tendence, vysledovatelné napříč církví, se práce snaží demonstrovat na šesti vybraných interiérových rea­lizacích, které zároveň poodhalují odlišné přístupy šesti evangelických výtvarníků: Daniela Balabána (Sněžné), Marie Jiřičkové (Praha-Uhříněves), Jiřího Zejfarta (Miroslav), Barbory Veselé (Prostějov), Zbyňka Honzala (Jindřichův Hradec) a Miroslava Rady (Praha-Vinohrady).

Umenie nekúpiš / Art Cannot Be Bought


Milan Tittel (2. 10. 1966, Litomyšl) je popredný slovenský umelec svojej generácie. V povedomí širokej kultúrnej verejnosti to však nie je príliš známe: jeho umelecký prínos bol rozptýlený najmä v skupinových aktivitách. Milan Tittel je totiž kolektívny hráč a svoju tvorbu predstavoval takmer výlučne v spolupráci s inými výtvarníkmi. Až v posledných rokoch sa výrazne odlíšil od ostatných, aj vďaka sústavnej prezentácii na sociálnych sieťach. Milan Tittel sa stal facebookovým umelcom, vo svojej generácii ojedinelým. Milan Tittel je tiež preformerom a videoumelcom. V poslednom čase najviac pracuje s nájdenými objektmi (môžu to byť aj živé organizmy a ľudské „živé sochy"), prípadne s ich kombináciami. Niektoré diela odkazujú na bizarné neodadaistické zostavy predmetov, ale najzaujímavejšie si pohrávajú s efemérnymi prvkami a hmotami, stelesňujú tak akúsi zenovú meditáciu v materiáli. Milan Tittel (October 10, 1966, Litomyšl) is one of the most prominent Slovak artists of his generation. However, the general public is not aware of this fact because his artistic talent was diffused, especially within group activities. Milan Tittel is a team player and he presents his work almost exclusively in cooperation with other artists. However, thanks to constant social network exposure, he has recently begun to distinguish himself from others. He has become a facebook artist, a rare accomplishment in his generation. Tittel is also a performer and video-artist. Recently he has focused on objet trouvé - found objects (including living organisms and human "living statues") and their combinations. Some works refer to bizarre neo-Dadaistic combinations of objects, but the most interesting ones play with ephemeral elements and masses, thus embodying a kind of Zen meditation.

Dramatik a Dramaturg


Dramaturgie je činnost na pomezí. Výrok J. Císaře, jednoho ze svých učitelů na DAMU, vzal autor této knihy, dramatik a dramaturg Jan Vedral, doslova. Na pomezí mezi scénou a literaturou balancuje po celých téměř čtyřicet let svého působení v českém divadle. Tento svazek, první část dvoudílného výběru DRAMAtik a DRAMAturg, obsahuje texty, napsané zpravidla pro potřeby divadelních ansámblů, které je také většinou inscenovaly. V předmluvě upozorňuje Milan Uhde na to, že Vedral i jako píšící dramaturg je autorem společensky aktivní dramaturgie tématu. Významné bylo uvedení jeho Urmefista a dramatizace Bulgakovova Mistra a Markétky na konci 80. let, polemiku vyvolali jeho Staří režiséři, dramatizace Kafkova Zámku či Kašpar Hauser Dítě Evropy na počátku nového milénia. Ve svazku je poprvé otištěna svébytná adaptace románu K. Schulze, kterou autor pod názvem Bolest a kámen připravil roku 1997 pro Divadlo na Vinohradech, kde však po zákazu nebyla uvedena.

Lear, Parrots


Brilliant Plumage An unsurpassed monument in the history of scientific illustration Edward Lear may be best known for his nonsense verse, but in his early years he excelled as an illustrator of birds and reptiles. This set of 42 hand-colored lithographs, originally entitled Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots, was the finest achievement of his relatively brief career as a natural history draftsman, before failing eyesight led him to concentrate on his writing. During Lear’s time, live parrots were rare and much sought-after, bought and sold for large sums by wealthy amateurs of natural history, and prized by 19th century European aristocracy for their astonishing plumage and mimickry of the human voice. Naturally, fine drawings of them were also highly prized. One of the first collections entirely dedicated to the species, Parrots includes African, Australian, and American parrots bred by eminent ornithologists such as Sir William Jardine and Prideaux John Selby, who sponsored Lear, inspiring and directing his work. Unlike other avian illustrators who often worked with stuffed birds, the young and prodigiously talented Lear (1812–1888) made his drawings from live parrots, capturing their expressions and movements in remarkably lifelike illustrations. The new medium of hand-colored lithography facilitated the vivid elegance of Lear’s work. This exquisite collection was originally reproduced in only 175 precious sets and sold by subscription to Britain’s most eminent scholars and wealthy collectors of living parrots. The Psittacidae established Lear as a celebrated illustrator, and professor of drawing to the young Queen Victoria. With a brief zoological introduction and written descriptions of each bird, this title brings TASCHEN's XL-sized edition to a more accessible, optimized format, bringing Lear’s parrots back to life for all to admire. “Simply put, the plates are stunning. The birds appear ready to lead off of the page and fly away.” — Birder’s World Magazine, Waukesha Text in English, French, and German

Design Solutions for Urban Densification


The world’s metropolises are home to steadily growing populations. Densification measures are one solution to the problems of urbanization, creating inner-city living space where there was none before. The smallest of gaps between buildings is utilized, perimeter block developments are completed, courtyards filled in, houses heightened and smaller structures replaced with larger ones. This process of densification preserves existing and naturally developed quarters and infrastructure, while protecting against urban sprawl and the development of soulless quarters full of new builds. In some cases, a self-contained element that clearly sets itself apart from the existing built environment is most suitable; in others, the best solution is the re-interpretation and development of the existing context. The architectural approach to each project is as unique as its context.

Bodys Isek Kingelez


Made from quotidian materials, Kingelez's sculptures evoke visionary architectures The sculptures of Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948-2015) are imagined architectural propositions and improbable structures for a fairytale urban landscape. Comprised of paper, commercial packaging and the stuff of everyday life, his "extreme maquettes" transform these materials into fantastic visions that encompass civic buildings, public monuments and private pavilions. Born in the Belgian Congo, Kingelez gained international renown following his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at Centre Georges Pompidou and the Grande Halle of the Parc de la Villette, and since that time, his work has been included in numerous global surveys and in several solo presentations. Published to accompany the first retrospective of his work, this volume traces the span of Kingelez's three decade career, from never-before-exhibited early works to sculptures that launched his career in 1989 and the complex and multifaceted cities of later decades, bringing his rarely seen, distinctive oeuvre to international audiences. Featuring stunning new photography of his work, this serves as the most comprehensive volume on the artist to date.

The Psychology of an Art Writer


Vernon Lee--a pseudonym of Violet Paget (1856-1935)--is the most important female aesthetician to come out of 19th-century England. Though she was widely known for her supernatural fictions, Lee never gained the recognition she so clearly deserved for her contributions in the fields of aesthetics, philosophy of empathy and art criticism. An early follower of Walter Pater, she wrote with an extreme attention to her own responses to artworks, and a level of psychological sensitivity rarely seen in any aesthetic writing. Today, she is largely understudied and rarely read, her aesthetic writings long out of print. Now, David Zwirner Books reintroduces her writing through the first-ever English publication of The Psychology of an Art Writer (1903) along with selections from her groundbreaking Gallery Diaries (1901-4), breathtaking accounts of Lee's own experiences with the great paintings and sculptures she traveled to see. Ranging from assessments of the way mood affects our ability to appreciate art to descriptions of powerful personal experiences with artworks, these writings provide profound insights into the fields of psychology and aesthetics.

We Have No Idea


In our small corner of the universe, we know how some matter behaves most of the time and what even less of it looks like, and we have some good guesses about where it all came from. But we really have no clue what's going on. In fact, we don't know what about 95% of the universe is made of. So what happens when a cartoonist and a physicist walk into this strange, mostly unknown universe? Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson gleefully explore the biggest unknowns, why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). While they're at it, they helpfully demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With equal doses of humour and delight, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that's still ours to explore. This is a book for fans of Brian Cox and What If. This highly entertaining highly illustrated book is perfect for anyone who's curious about all the great mysteries physicists are going to solve next.

The Lives of the Surrealists


No other art movement in history has contained two artists as different as Magritte and Miro. This is because Surrealism was not in origin an art movement, but a philosophical strategy. It was a way of life - a rebellion against the establishment that had given the world the hideous slaughter of the First World War. Instead of trying to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris concentrates on them as people - as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses? Drawing on the author's personal knowledge of the Surrealists, this book captures their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives, vividly illustrated with images of the artists and their works. The arts of Surrealism were both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious. Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris' tales illuminate the striking variation in approaches to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artist's work and in their lives.
