My Life as a Work of Art


How to cut through the labyrinthine contemporary art world - from the complex and animated process starting in the mind of an artist to the end in a museum, collector's property, storage space or dump, via workshops, galleries and art fairs? The best way is to follow the only 'witness' to all these developments: the work of art itself. This book follows the 'life' of works by eight major contemporary artists, from Martin Creed's conceptual works and Gregory Crewdson's photographs (requiring crews and production values similar to that of big budget movies) to Marina Abramovic's performances and Barry McGee's motorway sound barrier graffiti (touching upon the ambivalent relationship between street art and the art market).

Způsoby vidění


Jedna z nejinspirativnějších a nejvlivnějších knih o umění a vizualitě, která je právem považována za zakladatelskou klasiku oboru vizuálních studií. Poprvé vyšla v roce 1972, ale dodnes neztratila nic ze své břitké pronikavosti, s níž bezprostředně a srozumitelně zpřístupňuje základní vědění o obrazech a dívání, do té doby zastřené sofistikovanými mystifikacemi profesionálních teoretiků a kritiků. Sedm esejů (z nichž tři jsou čistě obrazové) se zabývá takovými tématy, jako jsou moderní reprodukce starých mistrů, zobrazováním ženské nahoty, vztahu vidění a moci anebo reklamou. Kniha Způsoby vidění (Ways of Seeing) britského kritika, spisovatele a výtvarníka Johna Bergera (nar. 1926) představuje klíčovou publikaci z oblasti teorie vizuální kultury. Oproti původní černobílé verzi český překlad, který nyní vychází vůbec poprvé, doprovází bohatý obrazový materiál v barvě.

William Claxton - Jazzlife


Bands and blues: The ultimate, evocative jazz-trip through timeIn 1960, photographer William Claxton and noted musicologist Joachim Berendt traveled the United States hot on the trail of jazz. Through music halls and marching bands, side streets and subways, they sought to document this living, breathing, beating musical phenomenon that enraptured America across social, economic, and racial lines.The result of Claxton and Berendt s collaboration was Jazzlife, much sought after by collectors and now revived in this fresh TASCHEN volume. From coast to coast, from unknown street performers to legends of the genre, this defining jazz journey explores just what made up this most original of American art forms. In New Orleans and New York, in St. Louis, Biloxi, Jackson, and beyond, Claxton s rapturous yet tender images and accompanying texts examine jazz s regional diversity as much as its pervasive vitality and soul. They show the music makers and the many spaces and people this music touched, from funeral parades to concert stages, from an elderly trumpet player to kids who hung from windows to catch a glimpse of a passing band.With images of Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, Gabor Szabo, Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and many more, this is as much a compelling slice of history as it is a loving personal tribute.Text in English, French, and German"

Elliott Erwitt - Home Around the World


Elliott Erwitt: Home Around the World offers a timely and critical reconsideration of Erwitt?s unparalleled life as a photographer. Produced alongside a major retrospective exhibition, the book features examples of Erwitt?s early experiments in California, his intimate family portraits in New York, his major magazine assignments and long-term documentary interests, and his ongoing personal investigations of public spaces and their transitory inhabitants. Essays by photography experts based on extensive new interviews with the photographer consider less-studied aspects of Erwitt?s work: his engagement with social and political issues through photojournalism, the humanist qualities of his very early photographs, and his work as a filmmaker. Home Around the World traces the development and refinement of Erwitt?s unique visual approach over time. With over two hundred photographs, and ephemera including magazine reproductions, advertisements, and contact sheets, this volume is the first to offer a comprehensive historical treatment of Erwitt?s body of work and position in the field.

A bábtervező mesél


Bródy Vera nem mesekönyvet írt - mégis mesés könyv lett a történetekből és bábrajzokból. Bródy Veráról mesélnek a kortársak: Molnár Gál Péter, Láng István és Szilágyi Dezső. Mesél maga az alkotó, arról a több évtizedet felölelő korszakról, melyet az Állami Bábszínházban töltött a tanulóévektől a bábtervezésig. Élete és pályája második szakaszáról, melyet Franciaországban a bábjáték tanításával, a rendezéssel és könyvek sorával gazdagított. Végül rajzaival és terveivel mesél: illusztrációkkal és a tervezéseiből készült válogatással teszi képszerűvé a mesét. A Bródy-bábvilág varázslatát a mai műsoron lévő darabok - Misi Mókus vándorúton, Diótörő, a Fából faragott királyfi - bizonyítják. Visszaemlékezése szeretett színházának és a műfajnak állít emléket. A kötet a bábalkotó művész előtt tiszteleg.
