The Stanley Kubrick Archives


The Kubrick filesFrom the archives of cinematic geniusIn 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: It s not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience...I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content.

Anjeli a svätí - Angels and Saints


Svätí – martýri, ktorí kedysi položili život za svoju vieru a presvedčenie, ale aj anjeli – dokonalí a všadeprítomní prostredníci medzi Bohom a človekom, boli zvyčajne stvárňovaní ako vznešené bytosti, trpiace (svätci) a bezpohlavné (anjeli). Sadovskej svätí a anjeli sú však napospol ľudia (v prípade anjelov len muži, i keď svoje mužstvo na obdiv nevystavujú). Sú nahí, nie vždy krásni a dokonalí, netrpia. Celkom všedne, gestom či posunkom, pohybom tela, len akoby mimochodom nám sprostredkovávajú svoju stigmu. Niektorí sa dokonca venujú vcelku pozemským činnostiam – diskutujú, ochutnávajú, počúvajú, načahujú sa, ukrývajú, žobrú... A keď sa im prizriete bližšie, možno zistíte, že viacerých dokonca poznáte. Takže môžete začať tipovať kto je kto. Ako svätcov a anjelov Dorota zobrazila svoje priateľky a priateľov, známych i neznámych ľudí zo svojho okolia, ktorí jej boli ochotní pózovať – niekedy pravdepodobne aj bez toho, aby videli výsledné dielo. Tak teda ako je to? Poľudštila svet svätých a anjelov, alebo premenila ľudí na anjelov a svätých? Isteže, táto ideová ambivalentnosť sa opiera aj o iný – materiálny základ. Vyplýva totiž z jej pracovnej metódy, kde spája fotografiu s maľbou. Práve paradox prenosu obrazu videného cez fotoaparát do rýdzo maliarskych prostriedkov tvorí základ živého a dynamického napätia, ktoré sprevádza jej maľbu. Využíva takmer „staromajstrovské“ prostriedky – perspektívny nadhľad, vizuálnu deformáciu proporcií, farbu, svetlo, tieň, iluzívnosť, ako by sme povedali dnes, pokúša sa o trojrozmerný priestor na dvojrozmernej ploche. Znova sa posunula o krok ďalej a v najlepších prácach skoncentrovala výraz, odhodila „literárne“ barličky, prízračné bytosti sa vynárajú z neba ako sochy, ale občas na vás (možno) aj žmurknú, uhranú vás pohľadom, natiahnu k vám ruku, dotknú sa vás ako priateľky či priatelia. Vstúpte, prosím.

Bruce Davidson - Survey


Bruce Davidson is a pioneer of social documentary photography. He began taking photographs at the age of ten and continued to develop his passion at Rochester Institute of Technology and Yale University. Later called upon for military service, Davidson met Henri Cartier-Bresson in France and was introduced to Magnum Photos. In his work, Davidson prizes his relationship to the subject above all else. From his profound documentation of the civil rights movement to his in-depth study of one derelict block in Harlem, he has immersed himself fully in his projects, which have sometimes taken him several years to complete. He once wrote, I often find myself an outsider on the inside, discovering beauty and meaning in the most desperate of situations. This survey, created in conjunction with an exhibition at Fundación MAPFRE in Spain, focuses on the work that has made Davidson one of the most influential documentary photographers to this day. In addition to his civil rights series and his work in Harlem, the book includes Davidson?s well-known series Brooklyn Gang, Subway, and Central Park. The book also highlights more recent projects, such as his explorations of Paris and Los Angeles landscapes.

Your Cabin in the Woods


Your Cabin in the Woods For 70 years, readers have been enjoying Meinecke's classic odes to the simple life, Your Cabin in the Woods (1943) and Cabin Craft and Outdoor Living (1947). For the first time, these books are combined into a deluxe two-color vintage package, featuring hundreds of charming illustrations by Victor Aures, known for his work with the Boy Scouts of America. In writing both practical and inspirational, Meinecke details how to turn your dream into a reality, from building plans to choosing land to using tools. However the book's enduring appeal owes in large part to its warmly engaging tone and firm belief in the restorative power of nature. He delights in the satisfaction of hard work, writing "in the doing you find yourself tired, muscles a bit sore, hands hardened and rough, but you will say over and over again, 'I did it.'" Meinecke's homespun wisdom is a comfort in your toil, "Take full enjoyment in the building. Take time out to rest. Most city folks seem always to rush things through. Why? Lay off until tomorrow. Take an afternoon nap. Stop the clock for the weekend. Get off to an early start in the cool of tomorrow morning. You may be crowded in your work in town, but this should be your rest cure, your recreating. Don't spoil it by city driving standards

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.
