Roaring


Lavishly illustrated, this catalogue explores the role of the automobile as both object and subject in interwar France, a period of exceptional creativity, innovation and turbulence. Expansive and interdisciplinary, Roaring illuminates the rich creative ecosystems that nourished this golden age of French automotive design. The publication explores the role of the automobile as both object and subject in France between the two world wars. It untangles the impact of fashion, interiors, architecture, aviation and the avant-garde on French automobile design and production. In turn, it highlights the bold, untethered visions of artists like Josephine Baker, Le Corbusier, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, and Jacques-Henri Lartigue, who embraced the automobile as a provocative expression of the modern age.

Základy územního plánování


Publikace Základy územního plánování je určena všem, kdo se chtějí zorientovat v problematice plánování a rozvoje území — od studentů architektury, urbanismu, geografie a stavebnictví, přes pracovníky veřejné správy až po odborníky zabývající se tvorbou a správou životního prostředí. Kniha systematicky představuje základní principy územního plánování, jeho nástroje, cíle a vazby na další oblasti, jako jsou krajinné plánování, doprava, technická infrastruktura, ochrana přírody či hospodářský rozvoj. Text knihy zdůrazňuje, že územní plánování není statický obor – formuje se v čase, odráží měnící se společenské potřeby a reaguje na aktuální výzvy, jako jsou klimatická změna, urbanizace nebo tlak na udržitelný rozvoj. Vysvětluje také, jak se mění přístupy k plánování v návaznosti na legislativní rámec, politická rozhodnutí a proměnu hodnot společnosti. Kniha čtivou a přístupnou formou propojuje teoretické poznatky s praktickými příklady a názornými ilustracemi. Reflektuje aktuální právní úpravu i historický vývoj oboru a upozorňuje na důležitost participace veřejnosti, mezioborové spolupráce a dlouhodobého uvažování při tvorbě plánovacích dokumentací. Slouží tak nejen jako úvod do problematiky, ale i jako solidní základ pro další odborné vzdělávání a praxi v oblasti plánování a rozvoje území.

Taneční věda


Tanec byl a je součástí všech kultur, doprovází rozmanité události lidského života a naplňuje širokou škálu účelů jako zvláštní prostředek symbolické komunikace. Z různých důvodů souvisejících s jeho tělesností a neverbálností se však jeho teoretická reflexe utvářela nesoustavně a na okraji diskursů uměnovědných a humanitních disciplín. Kolektivní monografie Taneční věda. Východiska, přístupy a perspektivy představuje současný stav a směřování české choreologie jako etablovaného, a přitom dynamicky se vyvíjejícího oboru. Autoři napříč generacemi – od historiků tance po odborníky na taneční analýzu, antropologii, sociologii, psychologii, management či etnochoreologii – mapují vývoj a aktuální podobu oboru ve vazbě na širší interdisciplinární kontexty. Druhá část publikace přináší šest zásadních teoretických textů taneční vědy uplynulého století v českém překladu a s odborným komentářem. Kniha propojuje domácí pohled s mezinárodním diskurzem a nabízí čtenáři orientaci v základních konceptech a metodách výzkumu tance.

Make It Ours


From Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic Robin Givhan comes a groundbreaking chronicle of the legacy of Virgil Abloh, whose iconic rise to the top of the fashion industry transformed our ideas about the connection between who we are and what we wear In 2018, shockwaves were sent around the fashion industry when Virgil Abloh was appointed the head of menswear for Louis Vuitton. Despite no formal training in pattern-making or tailoring, Abloh had become the first Black designer to serve as artistic director in the brand's 164-year history. Make It Ours tells the story of how that moment came to be and how Abloh came to symbolise and embody the industry's way forward. Using Abloh's surprising path to the top of the luxury establishment, Givhan unfolds the larger story of how the cloistered, exclusive fashion world faced a revolution from below in the form of streetwear and designers unafraid to storm the gate, and how a simple t-shirt came to hold as much cultural power as a haute couture gown. With unparalleled access to Abloh's family, friends, collaborators, and contemporaries, and featuring a cast of fascinating characters ranging from groundbreaking Black designers like Ozwald Boateng to Abloh's mercurial but critical employer and mentor Kanye West, Givhan weaves a spellbinding tale of a young man's rise amidst a cultural moment that would upend a century's worth of ideas about luxury and taste. This is at once a remarkable biography of a singular creative force and a powerful meditation on fashion and race, taste and exclusivity, genius and luxury.

Yoshitomo Nara


'Rediscover punk rock and your inner child at this memorable show.' ***** Review of Yoshitomo Nara, Hayward Gallery - Evening Standard Dive into the captivating, creative world of Yoshitomo Nara in the largest European retrospective of one of Japan's most celebrated artists. Accompanies the first UK solo exhibition at a public institution by the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. Spanning four decades of the artist's work, it offers readers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the personal and creative world of this internationally acclaimed artist. Yoshitomo Nara primarily identifies as a painter while working across a wide range of mediums, such as drawing, collage, sculpture, installation and materials including found objects, cardboard, wood, plaster, textile, ceramic and fibreglass. He is widely known for his bold images of children with large heads and wide eyes that challenge the viewers with their direct gaze and defiant stance. These captivating yet ominous characters are part of a wider visual vocabulary established by Nara to explore and communicate themes of home, isolation, resilience, belonging, regeneration, hope and freedom. Organised thematically, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution and breadth of Nara's artistic expression. It conveys Nara's singular aesthetic drawn from his formative experiences in Japan and his time in Germany, as well as his ongoing environmental and societal concerns, which are deeply rooted in nature and the communities of Japan's northern Tohoku region, where he grew up. Memories as a continuous flow runs through Nara's work. This is in parallel with the inspiration he takes from popular music, which he has been listening to since childhood - folk songs by American singer-songwriters featuring antiwar messages, melancholic blues and, later, glam rock, punk and new wave. The Hayward Gallery presentation is an expanded version of the touring exhibition from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden. It features a group of Nara's most recent paintings, including several new works.

Karlsbrücke: Geschichten und Legenden


Die Karlsbrücke verbindet die beiden Ufer der Moldau schon seit dem Jahr 1357 und ist mittlerweile ein untrennbarer Teil des beeindruckenden Prager Panoramas. Den Grundstein legte Kaiser Karl IV. persönlich – und obwohl sie oft schweren Widrigkeiten ausgesetzt war, steht sie bis heute. Nach und nach wurde sie durch eine Reihe von Skulpturen ergänzt. Mit Ausnahme der Bronzestatue des hl. Johannes Nepomuk sind alle übrigen 29 Statuen und Figurengruppen bedeutender Heiliger aus Stein gemeißelt. Dank ihnen ist die älteste erhaltene Steinbrücke ein Unikat, das es so auf der Welt kein zweites Mal gibt. Gerade deshalb sollte sie bei einem Besuch in Prag auf keinen Fall übersehen werden.

Nicole Wittenberg


The highly anticipated first survey of the work of American painter Nicole Wittenberg Over the past two decades, Nicole Wittenberg has developed an expressive body of work that includes paintings of landscapes, portraits, and erotica. Best known for her vibrant and energetic mark making, Wittenberg creates seemingly spontaneous images from studies and drawings - oftentimes from life - which she synthesizes into much larger paintings on canvas. Weaving together painterly gestures across subject matter - some published here for the first time - this debut monograph features essays by the art historian Suzanne Hudson, the curator Devon Zimmerman, and the contemporary painter David Salle, as well as an extended conversation between the artist and writer Jarrett Earnest. These texts create an insightful portrait of Wittenberg as an artist. Presented in a beautiful cloth case showcasing details of one of her floral compositions, this book explores the full range of Wittenberg's artistic vision and represents the most significant publication of her work to date. The publication of the book coincides with two solo exhibitions of the artist's work, at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art.

Buzz Me In


The inside story of Record Plant studios – the real ‘Hotel California’ – that reveals how the greatest music of the seventies was recorded and why the artists checked out but rarely left. In the 1970s, Record Plant Studios was ground zero for the largest boom in record production in music history. With complexes in New York, Los Angeles and Sausalito, and a fleet of remote recording trucks, Record Plant was everywhere there was music. In 1976 alone, the studio produced three number-one albums: Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, the Eagles’ Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. Written by two veteran music journalists, this engrossing book tells the incredible story of the evolution of Record Plant Studios tape by tape. Starting on the westside of New York in 1968 with the recording of Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland, Record Plant expanded to LA, where Stevie Wonder produced his greatest hits, and then to Sausalito where Sly Stone, Bob Marley and Fleetwood Mac encamped; John Lennon made New York his post-Beatles home, and the Eagles conceived Hotel California while working in LA. Each location showcased the founders’ proven formula of combining state-of-the-art audio, fantasy bedrooms and group jacuzzis, with sex, drugs and celebrity jams. Largely based on the memoirs and archives of studio co-founder Chris Stone, and supplemented by interviews with over 100 studio employees, music producers and recording artists, this is the untold story, in all its brazen glory, of the recording of classic rock’n’roll as told by the insiders who gladly toiled behind the locked doors of the most prolific recording factory of all time.

Including stories and artists from across the globe, alongside collectives, communities, amateurs and anonymous creators who have used their art as an expression of resistance - this fascinating book asks what is the purpose of art in a world on fire? Why are artists compelled to paint, write, dance and make music, even when the odds are stacked against them? And how can artistic creation be a genuine form of political resistance?
