Nejnovější kniha Magdaleny Wagnerové přináší osobitý pohled na jednu z nejvýznamnějších památek Prahy – Karlův most – a jeho jedinečnou sochařskou výzdobu. Provede čtenáře poutavou cestou po jednotlivých sochách a sousoších, seznámí ho s osudy zpodobněných světců i s příběhy mistrů a donátorů, kteří se o vznik těchto skvostů zasloužili. Podobně jako dávní tvůrci sochařské výzdoby Karlova mostu propojovali duchovní poselství s uměleckým záměrem, tato kniha propojuje historická fakta s legendami a nabízí nový pohled na kulturní a náboženský význam této kamenné galerie pod širým nebem.

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.

Puente de Carlos: Leyendas e historias


El Puente de Carlos une ambas orillas del Moldava ya desde el ano 1357 siendo una parte inseparable del impresionante panorama praguense. La piedra angular fue colocada por el emperador Carlos IV, y aunque el puente ha sido expuesto muchas veces a las adversidades del destino, sigue existiendo hasta el día de hoy. Sucesivamente se han instalado ahí varias esculturas. Excepto la estatua de bronce de San Juan Nepomuceno, las demás 29 obras de importantes santos son de piedra. Gracias a ellas el puente praguense más antiguo se convirtió en una construcción única y sin par a nivel mundial y no debería perdérselo ningún visitante de Praga.

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.

Acts of Resistance

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?

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.

Architecture as Built Criticism


Can buildings themselves express criticism? Wasn't modernist housing a collective criticism of unsustainable living conditions? Can a state's embassy convey differentiated, critical messages to the home and host country? Can architects express explicit criticism with their buildings? And if so, how can they do so? The essays collected in this volume present a wide range of effective built criticisms. Their authors' concise analyses broaden our view of an insufficiently explored field of knowledge. The 2023 International Conference on Architectural Criticism at Shanghai's Tongji University introduced the critical positions of leading international architects and architecture firms. The debate between tradition and modernity gave rise to varied approaches, such as opposition against unstoppable progress or against autocratic family ideals.

Trees, Time, Architecture


Trees, Time, Architecture introduces living plant construction as an important tool to improve the climate in our cities. In the form of a magazine, the volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and creative perspectives looks at how living trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene by taking into account their temporal dimension. It highlights ancient examples of living plant architecture, such as the root bridges of the Khasi people in India, Nordic mythology with its representation of a tree as a cosmological symbol, and the architectural use of living trees in the Roman Empire. The essays, photographs, memoirs, film reviews, and conversations in this book are supplemented with exemplary architectures, new research approaches, and current design methods. They illustrate dynamic processes in which trees play a key role as constantly changing organisms. They invite a transdisciplinary examination of relationships between people, trees, and architecture, as well as their rethinking and further development in our time of constant change and limited resources.

The New Design Museum


The New Design Museum maps a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations. It reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design have been transforming-their missions, programs and outreach platforms-to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice. The case studies encompass visions and practical examples from leading international institutions as well as independent initiatives and platforms, such as The World Around (Brooklyn, NY), Serpentine Gallery (London), Future Observatory at the Design Museum (London), Cultures of Assembly (Luxembourg), Loudreaders, and Non-Extractive Architecture. They are united in their search to revisit methods and canons of conventional museological traditions. They explore a composite thematic spectrum covering from global design practices invested in decolonising and queering agency, computational, ecological and indigenous knowledge, and present alternative educational and collaborative frameworks of institutional development. The book integrates 15 interviews with directors and programmers, such as Carson Chan (MoMA, New York), Ikko Yokoyama (M+ Museum, Hong Kong), Aric Chen (Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam), Giovanna Borasi (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal), and Lucia Pietroiusti (Serpentine Gallery, London), with a selection of 31 projects and initiatives by independent practitioners and entities beyond the traditional museum, including festivals, websites, podcasts, public programs, and off-spaces. Many of them emerged over the past decade and more intently since the outbreak of the COVID pandemic in 2020. They are evidence of the changing paradigms of public and professional engagement with the discipline of design.
