Working in Style


Gone are the times when offices were either huge factory-like spaces or tiny cell structures that were unimaginatively designed. Nowadays, they represent the identity of a corporation while also offering an inspiring workplace at the same time.

The results are veritable office landscapes, ranging from the creatively designed work space of a start-up via a multi-functional subdivided office without fixed work stations, to elaborately equipped and prestigious office spaces. All projects contribute to understanding the future of office life.

Vintage Home


Vintage Home is both a practical collector's guide - what to look out for - and a celebration of the period. It covers both serious and costly designer creations, which sell in major auction houses worldwide, and cheerful mass-produced kitsch, which you can pick up in car boot sales, charity shops, flea markets and yard sales. It looks at objects from around the world that were made for every taste and budget. Designers in the twentieth century were driven by the possibilities of mass-production and excited by the host of new materials. The period is also infused with the importance of women after the First World War and the emergence of a youth culture, and the new market for modern, fashionable goods from the 1950s onward. Where the older generation were used to 'make do and mend', the young embraced wholeheartedly the disposable society. They replaced the old with something new and fashionable, a taste epitomised by colourful plastic furniture and paper dresses. The consequence is a fabulous array of every type of object for the collector.

Slovo v prostoru


Štěpán Pácl, jeden z nejpozoruhodnějších českých režisérů mladší generace, se s čtenáři dělí o zkušenosti z vlastní práce. Svým způsobem je tedy tato kniha ojedinělá, neboť nás nechává nahlédnout „do zákulisí“ divadelní praxe. V jednotlivých kapitolách, věnovaných vybraným inscenacím v různých českých divadlech od Ostravy až po pražské Národní divadlo, zkoumá z různých úhlů pohledu „problémy“, před kterými stál společně s dalšími spoluinscenátory – dramaturgy, scénografy a především herci a herečkami. Zajímavě popisuje také vlastní divácké zážitky z inscenací zahraničních divadel, která dlouhou dobu pravidelně sleduje. Tato kniha se věnuje šesti inscenacím, na jejichž vzniku se autor podílel jako režisér. Jde o reflexi čtyř inscenací her českých autorů: Konce masopustu Josefa Topola, Krvavých křtin J. K. Tyla, Periferie Františka Langera, Z prachu hvězd Lenky Lagronové, a dvou her autorů zahraničních: Ivanova od A. P. Čechova a Calderónova Vytrvalého prince. Na základě scénického řešení – tedy toho, co divák vidí a slyší ze scény – vzniká v divákově mysli obraz, jehož vnímání je vždy spojené s interpretací. Inscenace zajišťuje pro vytvoření takového obrazu závazné podmínky. V knize jde o zkoumání takových podmínek souvisejících s konkrétním scénickým řešením. Otázku, jak takové scénické řešení vzniká z podnětu inscenovaného dramatu a v souhlasu s ním, zodpovídá autor na základě popisu vlastních zkušeností ze spolupráce na jmenovaných inscenacích s různými hereckými ansámbly v rozdílných divadelních prostorech.

Body of Art


The first book to celebrate the beautiful and provocative ways artists have represented, scrutinized and utilized the body over centuries. Body of Art is the first book to explore the various ways the human body has been both an inspiration and a medium for artists over hundreds of thousands of years. Unprecedented in its scope, it examines the many different manifestations of the body in art, from Anthony Gormley and Maya Lin sculptures to eight-armed Hindu gods and ancient Greek reliefs, from feminist graphics and Warhol's empty electric chair to the blue-tinted complexion of Singer Sargent's Madame X. It is the most expansive examination of the human body in art, spanning western and non-western, ancient to contemporary, representative to abstract and conceptual. Over 400 artists are featured in chapters that explore identity, beauty, religion, absent body, sex and gender, power, body's limits, abject body and bodies & space. Works range from 11,000 BC hand stencils in Argentine caves to videos and performances by contemporary artists such as Marina Abramovic, Joan Jonas and Bruce Nauman...Its fresh, accessible and dynamic voice brings to life the thrilling diversity of both classical and contemporary art through the prism of the body. More than simply a book of representations, this is an original and thought provoking look at the human body across time, cultures and media.
