Blow Up!
A non-fiction graphic novel that tells the story of a century of revolutionary contemporary art.
How did a urinal become art? And a can of tomato soup, a tent, a pickled shark... How do you get at one of the world's most powerful governments by smashing an old vase? How did what seemed like a prank at the New York Armory Show of 1917 explode to become today's global multi-billion dollar art world? This graphic novel answers these questions by following the lives of seminal contemporary artists and the stories behind their groundbreaking works.
Against a backdrop of armed conflict and rapid societal change, this book tells the story of contemporary art from Marcel Duchamp's repurposed urinal to Maurizio Cattelan's taped banana. Literal bombs explode and conventions go up in flames as a series of art objects shock and electrify society: canned excrement, a pickled shark, a stuffed hare, human blood.
The story moves from Paris to New York and London, and then captures the geographical spread of a rapidly globalizing cultural scene by jumping to events in Tokyo, Belgrade, Rio de Janeiro, Lagos and Beijing, and culminating in Miami - and in the ether, everywhere and nowhere, on the internet.
Chapters follow a series of chain reactions as artists meet or inspire each other across the generations and decades. Over a period of 100 years everything changes - and yet the cry of 'It's not art!' never goes away. No matter how long people have had to get used to it, contemporary art continues to upset expectations and disrupt conventions - and inspire anew.
Picasso/Asia - A Conversation
Published to accompany a major exhibition at M+, Hong Kong, this catalogue places more than sixty Picasso masterpieces alongside works by Asian and Asian-diasporic artists selected from the M+ collections.
Why is Pablo Picasso so famous the world over? How does Picasso, the quintessential modern artist of the 20th century but also undeniably a European, relate to the work of contemporary artists in other parts of the world, such as Asia? And what do Picasso and his legacy mean in an age and a place that are far from his own? These are some of the fundamental questions explored by this book, which accompanies a major exhibition at M+, Hong Kong, and the Musée National Picasso-Paris.
At its heart are two intertwined narratives. First, Picasso's life and artistic practice are interpreted through the four archetypes of the creative genius, the outsider looking in, the consummate magician and the endlessly inquisitive student of art history. Secondly, the fresh interpretation of Picasso's oeuvre is placed 'in conversation' with the works of Asian artists, thereby revealing what Picasso's art can tell us about artistic practice today, and vice versa. A visual timeline shows how Asian art and artists migrated to Europe during Picasso's lifetime and became an unavoidable part of his cultural context and milieu while also describing Picasso's reception in Asia from the 1910s up to the end of the 20th century.
A bold exploration of complex relationships between origin and reception, invention and adaptation, and West and East, this book enriches the discourse on transnational contemporary Asian art and visual culture, while contributing to the growing critical literature on global art history.

Goodbye Russia
In 1940 Sergei Rachmaninoff, living in exile in America, broke his creative silence and composed a swan song to his Russian homeland. What happened in those final haunted years and how did he come to write his farewell masterpiece, the Symphonic Dances?
Rachmaninoff left Petrograd in the throes of the Russian Revolution in 1917. He was 44 years old, at the peak of his powers as composer-conductor-performer, moving in elite Tsarist circles and running the family estate, his refuge and solace. He had already written the music which, today, has made him one of the most popular composers of all time: the second and third Piano Concertos and two symphonies. Reeling from the trauma of a life in upheaval, he wrote almost no music and quickly had to reinvent himself as a f?ted virtuoso pianist, building up untold wealth and meeting the stars, from Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin to his Russian contemporaries and polar opposites, Prokofiev and Stravinsky. Still, the melancholy of leaving his homeland never lifted.
Using a wide range of sources, including important newly translated texts, Maddocks' immensely readable book conjures impressions of this enigmatic figure, his friends and the world he encountered. It explores his life as an emigré artist and how he clung to an Old Russia which no longer existed. That forging of past and present meets in his Symphonic Dances (1940), his last composition, written on Long Island shortly before his death in Beverly Hills, surrounded by a close-knit circle of Russian exiles.
The Book of ABBA
Through exclusive interviews and over a decade of deep research, renowned music journalist Jan Gradvall explores the secrets to ABBA's success.
More than half a century after their songs were recorded, ABBA still make people the world over dance and sing their hearts out. After interviewing the four members for an article in 2013 - at which time the band had not been interviewed for over thirty years - Jan Gradvall was granted unique access to them for the next decade. In The Book of ABBA, the band share their thoughts and opinions more openly than ever before, while Jan reveals the context in which their sound developed - and shows how the story of ABBA is also the story of Sweden and the globalisation of pop culture.
From their chart-topping ABBA Voyage - their first album in forty years - to the two-million-ticket-selling concert-experience of the same name, it is undeniable that, in the history of pop culture and music, there has never been a group like ABBA. With remarkable intimacy, Gradvall's book brings readers closer than ever to one of the world's most notoriously private music icons.
Hip-Hop Is History
For a young Black kid growing up in a musical family in 1970s Philadelphia, hip-hop was everything. He stayed up late to hear the newest songs on the radio. He saved his money to buy vinyl as soon as it landed. He even started to make his own songs. That kid was Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson.
Now, in this landmark book, Questlove traces the creative, cultural forces that made and shaped hip-hop, highlighting the forgotten influential gems and the chart-topping hits - and weaves it all together with the stories no one else knows. It is at once an intimate, sharply observed story and a sweeping theory of the evolution of the greatest artistic movement of our time. Questlove approaches it with both the encyclopaedic fluency of an obsessive fan and the unique expertise of an innovative participant.
Hip-hop is history, and also his history.

The Secret Public
A monumental history of the LGBTQ influence on popular culture, from the award-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling author.
An electrifying look at key moments in music and entertainment history between 1955 and 1979, which helped move gay culture from the margins to the mainstream and changed the face of pop forever - from the ambiguous sexuality of stars such as Little Richard in the 1950s through to David Bowie, glam rock and Sylvester's 'You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)'.
The Secret Public is a searching examination of the fortitude and resilience of the gay community through the lens of popular music and culture; it reflects on the freedom found in divergence from the norm and reminds us of the need to be vigilant against those seeking to roll back the rights of marginalised groups.
Rizsporos hétköznapok - Trendek, forradalmak, nagymeNŐK a divattörténetből
Mi a közös Marie Antoinette-ben és Lady Dianában? Legyen országát egyedül irányító uralkodónő, 19. századi textilgyárban robotoló "mill girl" vagy szüfrazsett, a divat a történelem során szinte valamennyi nő életében jelentőséghez jutott. Lehetett eszköz a kezében, de lehetett fegyver is, amit ellene vetettek be. Jelenthette számára a megélhetést, anyagi függetlenséget, vagy ellenkezőleg, lehetett teher, korlát, amelyet le kellett "vetkőznie".
Ebben a könyvben olyan nők kerülnek bemutatásra, akiknek életében fontos szerepet játszott a divat. Vagy azért, mert hatalmuknak, helyzetüknek megszilárdítására, politikai nézeteiknek kifejezésére használták, vagy mert épp a nők javára megreformálni kívánták azt. Ám e könyv lapjait nem csak híres nők és asszonyok foglalják el. Közelebbi ismeretségbe kerülhetünk a francia rokokó nagyhatalmú női "mantua" készítőivel és masamódjaival, a viktoriánus kor vagány női biciklistáival, vagy épp a főiskolás Gibson girlökkel. De a 16. század névtelen fonónőinek sorsa, a látványos viktoriánus viseletek mögött meghúzódó arctalan gyári munkásnők és divatműhelyekben (sweatshopokban) dolgoztatott nők millióinak körülményei is bemutatásra kerülnek.
Budai Lotti az elmúlt években divattörténeti, nőtörténeti kutatómunkáját a Zubor Rozival közös Micsoda nagymeNŐK voltak! podcast és Micsoda történetek! könyvsorozat készítése/írása során történelmi nőalakok életének tanulmányozásával is kiegészítette. A kötet, amit az olvasó a kezében tart, az írónő e két érdeklődési területének ötvözete, hisz a híres nőalakokon túl, a divattörténet szerelmeseinek is izgalmakat kínál: az olvasó a Rizsporos hétköznapok első kötetében bemutatott divattörténeti korszakok jellemzőiről és azok tipikus viseleteiről is felfrissítheti ismereteit, mindezt olyan kontextusban, mely alaposabb rálátást kínál a nőtörténet, a feminizmus, az egyenjogúsági mozgalmak és a nők általános helyzetének, illetve a divatnak a kapcsolatára.

Koncept 10 - Fasáda
KONCEPT č. 10 sa venuje téme fasády. Architekti čoraz častejšie spájajú estetické riešenia so zodpovednosťou voči prírode a inovatívnymi materiálmi, čím vytvárajú fasády, ktoré nie sú len vizuálnym prvkom, ale aj nástrojom na komunikáciu ideí. Paláce a kostoly zdobili bohaté ornamenty, ktoré komunikovali moc alebo duchovnosť. Dnes sa však fasáda mení na médium, ktorým architektúra otvára dialóg s verejnosťou. Na stránkach Konceptu sa opäť venujeme aktuálnym projektom v oblasti Slovenska a Európy a uvedieme ich do širšieho spoločenského kontextu a rámca. Pozrieme sa na rôzne stavby od drobných, ale efektných riešení (HAUS) po rozsiahlejšie komplexy (Ilja Skoček, Juraj Hubinský + Kuklica a Smerek, Compass Architekti). Pozrieme sa aj na realizáciu využívajúcu vrstvenie hmôt ateliéru AMAA.
Manga: A New History of Japanese Comics
A groundbreaking story of Japanese comics from their nineteenth-century origins to the present day
The immensely popular art form of manga, or Japanese comics, has made its mark across global pop culture, influencing film, visual art, video games, and more. This book is the first to tell the history of comics in Japan as a single, continuous story, focusing on manga as multipanel cartoons that show stories rather than narrate them. Eike Exner traces these cartoons’ gradual evolution from the 1890s until today, culminating in manga’s explosion in global popularity in the 2000s and the current shift from print periodicals to digital media and smartphone apps.
Over the course of this 130-year history, Exner answers questions about the origins of Japanese comics, the establishment of their distinctive visuals, and how they became such a fundamental part of the Japanese publishing industry, incorporating well-known examples such as Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon, as well as historical manga little known outside of Japan. The book pays special attention to manga’s structural development, examining the roles played not only by star creators but also by editors and major publishers such as Kodansha that embraced comics as a way of selling magazines to different, often gendered, readerships. This engaging narrative presents extensive new research, making it an essential read for enthusiasts and experts alike.
Rodin's Dancers
Charting Auguste Rodin's relationships with the dancers who shaped his signature style and his mythic persona.
Juliet Bellow traces Rodin's interactions with dance makers and performers during his late career (1890-1912) through a series of interrelated case studies. His exchanges with Loie Fuller, Vaslav Nijinsky, and members of the Cambodian Royal Ballet troupe were central to Rodin's development of a modern sculptural aesthetic and the construction of his artistic celebrity. But this was not a simple case of one-way influence. These performers actively courted an affiliation with Rodin, wielding sculpture's cultural authority to move dance from the realm of commercial entertainment to that of "high art."
Bringing together art history and performance studies, Rodin's Dancers demonstrates that in their search for innovation, dancers and sculptors experimented with one another's means of expression, sites of display, and techniques of publicity. The book provides more than a new interpretation of Rodin's art: it considers how and why the name "Rodin" came to stand for a powerful constellation of ideas about art, authorship, and creative genius within the vibrant spectacle culture of Belle Époque Paris.

In One Ear

It will also chart the successful career he has forged running his own label, Bella Union, for the past twenty-seven years, discovering, developing and working with globally renowned artists like Beach House, Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty and John Grant.

A must-read for music fans, this is the incredible tale of Simon's life and legacy.
Interwoven
A major new guide to mastering textile design that interweaves technical knowledge, artistic expression and storytelling.
Interwoven: Exploring Materials and Structures is a joyous exploration of woven textile design. It dissects woven structures along with the fibres and yarns used to make them, giving exceptional insight into the world of fabrics.
Interwoven outlines how the diverse history of textiles has been intertwined with human innovation from prehistoric twining to the invention of the binary code, through to today's new material discoveries and urgent quest for sustainability.

Oliver Jeffers
An overview of the life and work of Oliver Jeffers, the Belfast-raised illustrator, bookmaker, painter, designer, campaigner and global superstar of the world of visual communication
A phenomenon of 21st-century bookmaking, Oliver Jeffers has carved an extraordinary career that shows no sign of slowing. Still only in his forties, he has published an array of hugely popular books, both as illustrator and author-illustrator. This overview of his life and work - so far - charts his passion for the environment and his quest to understand humanity's major challenges, and the impact this has had on his creative and intellectual output.
The list of Jeffers's accomplishments is long and glittering: he has held numerous one-man shows, in both the UK and the USA, and was appointed an MBE in 2022 for services to the arts. Most importantly, however, he has tirelessly pushed the boundaries of what a picturebook can be. His regular exploration of existential issues - whether through illustration or other media such as site-specific installation or film - has exerted a major influence on the practice of authorial picturebook-making.
This addition to Thames & Hudson's acclaimed Illustrators series is the first book to focus closely on Oliver Jeffers's practice as an illustrator, offering an in-depth analysis of his processes, influences, styles and subjects as they have changed over time.
