Art is Everywhere - How to Really Look at Things
In 2005 there was as a street performance in Florence that featured a white canvas with a light grey sentence reading, Art is Everywhere, temporarily exhibited on the streets. The aim of the project was to create a temporary visual emptiness: a necessary condition for opening people s eyes so that they could see the interesting layers of scratches, marks, old posters and parts of the city that normally remain unnoticed by many. Within a few years, it had become a 2 day workshop, where participants are invited to explore the city with new eyes, and were asked to complete small assignments and to document their findings with photographs. This book is the result of that experience, to forget the challenge of defining Art but understand it as a trigger for new and different interpretations of what already surrounds us. It is a meter on how we look at things, and whether we have the right tools or not to decode it. Now more than ever art is strictly related to time. Since Art is everywhere you just have to be at the right place at the right time. But that is not enough. Not only, as Proust said, is it necessary to have new eyes to discover new things it is also indispensable that you are slowing down. See the details. Take the example of the art of Urs Fischer and his melting wax statues. Be it classical figures or realistic persons, everything is set on fire and melts slowly with time. A visitor will not see the same thing as the next one in minutes, one can only see the final horrible ending of a statue if it stays for the necessary time it takes to melt. It s the perfect metaphor for interpretation of art. Where does Art belong? Where does it start and end? Through ingenious collages and montages, the author revolves our expectations regarding the experience of art. A book for young creative minds to get inspired, an instrument for developed artist to reconsider their workshop and the end of borders between what is framed and what is not. Have you ever wondered why our senses become more alert when, say as tourists, we visit a city for the first time? And why it often seems that nothing extraordinary or exceptional ever happens along our daily routes? Is it possible to discover something wonderful and special without the necessity of visiting museums, monuments, or other places that differ from our habitual haunts? Art is Everywhere combines science, hands-on practices used in art workshops, and clear and simple language to answer these questions. And raise some others. "

The Music Library Revised and Expanded Edition
The first edition of "The Music Library," published in 2005 and now out of print, brought together the designs of more than 325 record sleeves and relevant information about these rare and elusive albums. Quickly becoming known as the music library "bible," "The Music Library" represented a valuable reference and also sparked a resurgence of interest in the subject over the last ten years, with many new library labels and recordings coming to light. Library music-also known as source or mood music-was made for use in film, TV, advertising and radio. It was given to TV channels and producers who needed cheap, signature music for animations, advertisements and television programs. Never commercially available for sale to the public, this music was pressed from the 1950s onwards in limited quantities, and then sent directly for use in production houses and radio stations. These LPs were intended for purpose and function, not for pop charts, and as a result they look and sound like nothing else. Without the usual music industry constraints, the record sleeve designers had almost complete freedom of expression, with unprecedented results. This new and expanded edition of "The Music Library" contains twice the content of the original book, featuring 625 rare sleeves from 230 music library companies of the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. The amazing cover designs of over 100 newly discovered library albums are beautifully reproduced (alongside all the sleeves contained in the first book) and accompanied by exhaustive, updated captions.

Make Your Mark
Make your Mark is divided into three: 'Draw', 'Paint', 'Make'. It celebrates and discusses the work of forty-five urban artists, extraordinarily diverse but united by one basic principle: their work is completely fresh, original and the epitome of creativity - the perfect antidote to the jaded imagery that fills our streets and our media. The names - 44 Flavours from Germany, Bault from France, Morcky from Italy, Ricardo Cavolo from Spain, Zio Ziegler from the USA, Fuco Ueda from Japan, Raymond Lemstra from the Netherlands, Joao Ruas from Brazil and many others - will be unfamiliar to most; the talent they display, indisputable, courageous, always distinctive, is a joy.
Otherworldly
Fashion from another planet. Unwearable, subversive, radically post-human, alien. Otherworldly presents avant-garde garments, styling, fashion photography, and young designers who are a whole galaxy away from the mainstream. Other rules apply to the fashion of the future. New technologies and materials make things possible today that couldn't have even been imagined in the past. Hightech fabrics and melting forms are no longer science fiction but reality. Fashion is constantly reinventing itself, but many designers and stylists are now taking it to extremes. Inspired by the odd, mutant, and deformed, they are redefining clothing to expand the body --from wearables to the utter transfiguration of the human silhouette. Otherworldly showcases a fashion avantgarde between futurism and fetish. Featuring work by designers such as Lucy McRae, Peter Popps, Marina Hoermanseder, and Viktor & Rolf, it not only explores this groundbreaking development but also its fruitful interplay with photography.
Infinite Space
Architecture reflects the period of time in which it was created. This is true for landmark buildings and major public projects as well as residential and family properties. Yet architecture is also an expression of an individual's personality, needs, taste, and his or her overall take on life. Different countries, cultures, and lifestyles influence the design of structures and interiors as much as the local climate and other regional characteristics do. What does a house need to become a home? Infinite Space provides answers to this question that are as varied as the people behind the projects presented on its pages. Singles, couples, and families; clients, architects, and suppliers--they all have their own ideas of what makes a modern home. While the featured buildings have a contemporary clarity, lightness, and openness in common, they differ greatly in their details. The spectrum of materials used includes wood, stone, metal, and glass. Colors range from bright to subdued; furnishings from glamorously elaborate to tastefully understated. Their unique combination gives each house its character or, rather, reflects the character of its owners, builders, and residents. A terrace by a lake, a dramatic fireplace, a living room bathed in sunlight adjoining an open-plan kitchen, a pool amongst palm trees, a sauna in the forest, a bedroom with a sky view--Infinite Space showcases stunning projects from all around the world captured by renowned architecture and interior photographer James Silverman on his travels. In his images of living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, working areas, children's rooms, and gardens, Silverman explores the interplay of functional and decorative space, as well as interiors and exteriors. Infinite Space takes a nuanced look at how houses are constructed today. This book will not only inspire professional architects and interior designers, but it will also prompt anyone building or renovating a house to define their own particular home in more detail--little by little, and each time slightly differently. Until their dream home becomes a reality.
Niemeyer
Brazilian curves: A uniquely sensual modernism in Brasilia and beyondUntil his death at age 104, Oscar Niemeyer (1907 2012) was something of an unstoppable architectural force. Over seven decades of work, he designed approximately 600 buildings, transforming skylines from Bab-Ezzouar, Algeria, to his homeland masterpiece Brasilia.Niemeyer s work took the reduced forms of modernism and infused them with free-flowing grace. In place of pared-down starkness, his structures rippled with sinuous and seductive lines. In buildings such as the Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum, Edificio Copan, or the Metropolitan Cathedral in Brasilia, he brought curvaceousness to the concrete jungle. In the futuristic federal capital of Brasilia, he designed almost all public buildings, and thus became integral to the global image of Brazil.With rich illustrations documenting highlights from his prolific career, this book introduces Niemeyer s unique vision and its transformative influence on buildings of business, faith, culture, and the public imagination of Brazil.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Architecture series features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological order information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts and plans)"
Ladislav Drezdowicz
Ladislav Drezdowicz, rodák z Petrovic u Karviné, odešel z Československa po okupaci v roce 1968. Jeho druhým domovem se stala švýcarská Basilej a nedobrovolný exil trvalým námětem jeho fotografické práce. „Nepovažuji za rozhodující být Čechem nebo Švýcarem. Podstatné je, co nás všechny spojuje,“ říká Drezdowicz, který ve své knize fotografií představuje snímky z různých koutů světa.
Drezdowicz však není sběratelem efektních momentek. Fotoaparát je pro něho nezbytným každodenním průvodcem, ať již žije několik měsíců v Indii a vyučuje angličtinu děti dalitů, nejnižší kasty tzv. nedotknutelných, či se každoročně vrací na Kapverdy, kde stranou zájmu a turistického ruchu živoří ostrované, mezi nimiž našel mnoho přátel.
Kniha zahrnuje také fotografie z jeho návratů do Čech, z cesty do Tibetu a také nevšední pohledy na život ve Švýcarsku ze souboru příznačně nazvaného Švýcarské rozmary.
Drezdowiczova fotografická kniha vypráví osobitý příběh muže, který se rozhodl vydat na cestu, na níž ho i díky pravidelné meditaci provází klid. Fotografii využívá k jisté existenciální reflexi světa i sebe sama a pomocí (ač černobílých) fotografií zprostředkovává své poznání, že svět není černobílý.
Slepí málokdy
Kniha Slepí málokdy spojuje v harmonický celek dvě protilehlé sféry: text, působící jako nástroj verbálního vyjadřování skutečnosti, a fotografii coby médium neverbální povahy, která skutečnost zachycuje.
Každé z osmdesáti jazykovo-obrazových zastavení, z nichž publikace sestává, přitom poukazuje na problematičnost a nejednoznačnost jazyka i fotografie jako prostředků komunikace a popisu reality. Ne každou větu lze číst jen jedním způsobem, ne každá ústní promluva odpovídá jednoznačnému písemnému vyjádření. Fotografie mohou text ilustrovat, ale i zamlžovat, vysvětlovat, ale i transformovat. Na knihu Slepí málokdy lze jistě pohlížet jen jako na sbírku jazykových rébusů a hříček nebo pouze jako na soubor uměleckých fotografií. Především se však jedná o dílo, které dokládá, že verbálním i neverbálním vyjadřováním skutečnost nejen popisujeme, nýbrž i vytváříme, a že jazyk i fotografie jsou nám v obou těchto ohledech velmi nedokonalými nástroji.
Jaroslav Beneš
Tvorba Jaroslava Beneše náleží k té linii české umělecké fotografie, v níž se završuje analogová éra, zakladatelská fáze technicky vzniklých obrazů, a reprezentuje tak pozdní, závěrečnou fázi modernity. Pro Beneše, který začal tvořil v sedmdesátých letech 20. století, je fotografie bytostnou životní potřebou, nezbytným prostředkem pro sebevyjádření.
Z hlediska námětu fotografuje Jaroslav Beneš všední detaily současné architektury, jeho tvorba ale především vyjadřuje pocit z doby, v níž žije. Nevyčerpává se však pouze estetickými vjemy, zajímá ho vždy, co je za nimi, tajemství, ono „cosi navíc“. U Beneše se nabízí termín minimalismus, ale na naplnění striktních minimalistických atributů se v jeho díle nachází „příliš mnoho“ osobního. Jeho fotografie jsou až iritující sloučeniny objektivity se subjektivitou a niterností. Typické pro jeho přístup rovněž je, že mu na fotografiích do určité míry nevadí technické vady, které během procesu vzniknou: nastal-li na vrstvě filmu či papíru kaz, netrápí se jím, nezastírá ho. Takovou chybu přijímá coby organickou součást „setkání“, jímž pro něho fotografie a celý proces jejího vzniku je.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
All our work is about freedom The universe of Christo and Jeanne-ClaudeThe work of the artist couple Christo (born 1935) and Jeanne-Claude (1935 2009) resists categorization. It is a hybrid of art, urban planning, architecture, and engineering, but above all an aesthetic uniquely their own: surreal and ethereal environmental interventions that have graced monuments, public parks, and centers of power alike.This compact book spans the complete career of the couple who were born on the very same day, met in Paris, fell in love, and became a creative team like no other. With rich illustration, it spans Christo and Jeanne-Claude s earliest projects in the 1950s right through to The Floating Piers, to be installed at Lake Iseo, Italy, in 2016. The book celebrates all of the couple s most famous environmental interventions, such as The Gates in New York s Central Park and the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, while also featuring early drawings and family photos unknown to the wider public.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"
Degas
Dance class: The master of bodies in motionMost commonly associated with the birth of the Impressionist movement in mid-19th-century Paris, Edgar Degas (1834 1917) in fact defied easy categorization and instead developed a unique style, strongly influenced by Old Masters, the body in motion, and everyday urban life.The elder scion of a wealthy family, Degas cofounded a series of exhibitions of Impressionist art, but soon disassociated himself from the group in pursuit of a more realist approach. His subjects centered on the teeming, noisy streets of Paris, as well as its leisure entertainments, such as horse racing, cabarets, and, most particularly, ballet. With often ambitious, off-kilter vantage points, his images of ballerinas numbered approximately 1,500 works, all deeply invested in the physicality and the discipline of dance.Through illustrations of Foyer de la Danse (1872), Musicians in the Orchestra (1872) and many more, this book provides an essential overview of the artist who resisted categorization but created a category of his own, a world of classical resonance, bold compositions, and an endless fascination with movement, which together produced some of the most striking and influential works of the era.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"
