Modern Americanness
The New Graphic Design in the United States 1890–1940
Venturing across five decades of American culture, this landmark book explores how modern graphic design emerged in the United States and how it became an intrinsic feature of the country’s identity. Christopher Long tells this story in a wholly new way, exposing many long-forgotten figures and movements, and resurrecting the debates and conceptions that were integral to the new art. In a series of deeply involving portraits of American artists and innovators who helped shape the very look of the modern age, American Modernness offers a sweeping story of the country’s visual culture and its distinctiveness.
Christopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Lucian Bernhard and Adolf Loos: Meaning, Context, Reception—Essays.
Tato průkopnická kniha zkoumá, jak se ve Spojených státech utvářel moderní grafický design a jak stal se neodmyslitelnou součástí americké kultury a identity země. Christopher Long vypráví tento příběh zcela novým způsobem, připomíná mnoho dávno zapomenutých osobností a hnutí a oživuje debaty a koncepce, které byly nedílnou součástí nového umění. V sérii strhujících portrétů amerických umělců a inovátorů, kteří se podíleli na utváření samotné podoby moderní doby, nabízí publikace Americká moderna: Nový grafický design ve Spojených státech 1890–1940 rozsáhlý a osobitý příběh vizuální kultury.
Christopher Long je profesorem na Fakultě architektury Texaské univerzity v Austinu. Napsal více jak dvacet knih, mimo jiné Lucian Bernhard či Adolf Loos: Význam, kontext, recepce / Eseje.

Esther Mahlangu - A Life in Color
A captivating exploration of the life and work of the iconic South African artist Esther Mahlangu, one of the great innovators of Pan-African Contemporary Art.
'Esther Mahlangu is one of the most important artists of our time who continues to inspire artists all over the world. Mahlangu is a visionary who brings art into society' Hans Ulrich Obrist
Esther Mahlangu (b. 1935) is globally acclaimed for her bright and bold abstract paintings that are rooted in South African Ndbele art. She was a disruptor from an early age, becoming the first person to reimagine her visual heritage, historically used for decorating houses, on painting media such as canvas. Mahlangu is one of the most influential artists of Pan-African Contemporary Art.
Esther Mahlangu: To Paint is in My Heart celebrates Mahlangu's remarkable journey as a pioneer and innovator of contemporary African art, whose vibrant and distinctive paintings have captured the hearts of many worldwide. Through a series of interviews with Mahlangu conducted by Thomas Girst, Azu Nwagbogu and Hans Ulrich Obrist, readers will gain insight into her creative process, inspiration, and the cultural significance of her work - in the artist's own words.
With a preface by Nontobeko Ntombela, the curator of Mahlangu's major 2024 travelling retrospective, this book presents stunning visuals and engaging narratives, offering an inspiring experience to the reader.
Marina Abramovic. Free Interdisciplinary Performance Lab
The pioneer of performance art and her class
With the first appointment of the outstanding performance artist Marina Abramovic to the Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts, the focus in the 202323 academic year was placed on transdisciplinarity, artistic daring and social awareness.
The project supervised by Abramovic, entitled "Free Interdisciplinary Performance Laboratory (FIPL)", was realised in a class put together by her, in which she brought together over 20 students from the fields of music (classical and jazz, instrumental, vocal and composition), dance, design, photography, (physical) theatre and directing. The students developed individual or collective concepts for performances and learnt how to develop a longterm performative work form in an experiencebased process. In a workshop entitled "Cleaning the House", which was organised according to a method developed by Marina Abramovic, the students developed a sense of the presence required in performances, including the exploration of their individual physical and mental limits.
Paula Rego: Power Games
The female protagonists of the Portuguese-British artist Paula Rego either come from real life or derive from the world’s great legends, fairy tales, and myths. As complicated heroines of our time they have endured illegal abortions or fight against the limitations of traditional gender roles instead of dragons.
“My favorite themes are power games and hierarchies”. Rego’s oeuvre is a tour de force of creativity. Endlessly versatile and inexhaustible, it is deeply rooted in pictorial worlds and stories from both past and present. This volume approaches the remarkable wealth of Rego’s multi-faceted universe through a range of different perspectives and tells of the power of history and emotions, women’s rights and invisible structures of domination.
Nekonečný sloup a jiné hry
Světoznámý historik náboženství Mircea Eliade (1907-1986), jehož odborné dílo i poválečná tvorba prozaická jsou českému čtenáři známy už téměř v úplnosti, se nyní představuje i jako dramatický autor. O problematiku divadla se zajímal už od mládí, jeho úvahy však nikdy nevykrystalizovaly v nějakou ucelenou teorii, najdeme je roztroušené především v jeho poválečné novelistice a románech Svatojánská noc a Devatenáct růží. Modernistické, prvotní posvátnosti zbavené pojetí divadla, se podle Eliada už vyčerpalo a vyvstává potřeba návratu k pramenům, neboť „divadlo by se velice záhy mohlo stát novou eschatologií nebo soteriologií, technikou spásy“. Jeho vlastní hry v duchu těchto představ hojně odkazují ke světovým mytologiím. Ifigenie, vystavená na půdorysu známé antické tragédie, je tak obohacena o prvky z rumunského lidového bájesloví, o motiv smrti jako kosmické svatby a tvůrčí oběti, jež doprovází každé velké dílo. Ve hře Kameny a lidé, založené na dichotomii vědec – umělec Eliade krom jiného odkazuje k mytologii kamenů a labyrintu, ve hře Nekonečný sloup pak na díle sochaře Constantina Brâncuşie ilustruje starobylou, předkřesťanskou symboliku sloupu podepírajícího nebeskou klenbu, symboliku extatického vzestupu, letu a transcendence.
Bůh byl na tomto místě a já jsem to nevěděla
Leona Kalvodová se ve svých fotografiích vydala na místa, kde někteří pokládají Boží přítomnost za zajištěnou – do kostelů, klášterů a do svatého města Jeruzaléma. Ty však slouží jako kulisy, které zabydlují lidé svým soustředěním, tichem, napětím. Hry světel a prchavých lidských zjevování nachází ale i na řadě jiných míst; v neposlední řadě zachycuje portréty svých přátel, nejčastěji Ivana a Dáši Havlových. Jak píše ve své předmluvě Jindřich Štreit, největší mistrovství však musí prokázat při zachycení tváře. Důležité je vystihnout onu setinu sekundy, kdy se v obličeji objeví záře, vnitřní pokora, napětí, smutek, hnutí duše. V tu chvíli může fotografka cítit, že je s ní Bůh. Leona nám ve svých fotografiích umožňuje poznat obyčejně neobyčejný život.
Surrealism - Worlds in Dialogue
Surrealism revolutionised art with fantastic, radically subjective motifs. As a political and international movement, the artists wanted to change society. The topicality of their ideas enables a fascinating comparison between important pioneers of Surrealism and the following generations of artists.
In a world that is increasingly dominated by technology, the examination of one’s own consciousness that was characteristic of Surrealism is moving into focus once more. What effects are technologies having on our society? What is it that makes us human? Topics like the search for identity, irrationality and the game of perception can be found in the works of René Magritte and Claude Cahun as well as David Lynch and Cindy Sherman. Some 120 top-class paintings, photographs, film sequences, collages and sculptures provide an exciting tour through 100 years of surreal worlds.
Artists include Hans Bellmer, Luis Bunuel, Marco Brambilla, Claude Cahun, George Condo, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Alfred Hitchcock, Sarah Lucas, David Lynch, René Magritte, Joan Miró, Meret Oppenheim, Tony Oursler, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Penny Slinger, Dorothea Tanning, Erwin Wurm.
German Expressionism
In a time like our own, where a young generation feels a great need to change our way of living, thinking and organizing ourselves, the publication on the artist group Brücke feels particularly relevant. These young artists also wanted to renew art and life in the German Imperial Empire and have ever since inspired younger generations of artists.
In bright paintings with simplified forms and large fields of color they expressed rather their feelings than an external reality. They were interested in topics like man and nature, the naked body, portraits, self-portraits, the merging of life and art and life in the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. The catalogue discusses among others how we today perceive and can take on challenging themes like inspiration from African and Oceanian colonial cultural objects and of very young female models.
Artists include Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.

From Skydance Animation, the animation studio that made Luck, comes Spellbound – the magical musical fantasy for kids and adults alike. Spellbound is the tale of young Princess Ellian who must embark on a daring quest to save her family and home from a mysterious curse which transforms her parents into monsters and engulfs the kingdom of Lumbria with an ominous shadow.
Acting Techniques in the 20th Century
The book Acting Techniques in the 20th Century has been published twice in Slovakia – this is the book’s third edition, amended and published for the first time in English. In the book, Mistrík summarizes the knowledge of various acting techniques and theories that were used in twentieth-century theatre. In clearly arranged chapters, owing to an engaging text, which is enriched by a large selection of historical photographs, readers can get behind the scenes of the theatre and extend their understanding of the aesthetic and social contexts of theatre art. This is not an acting textbook, nor does it aspire to present a systematic history of acting – it is mainly focused on the most important personalities and theatres, leaving it at the readers‘ discretion whether they want to look for inspiration for their artistic growth and theatrical work. It’s a book of inspirations for twenty-first century acting.
Expresia architektonickej myšlienky
Publikácia prináša úvahy a poznatky o prvotnej, fundamentálnej fáze zrodu architektonického diela s dôrazom na prvú myšlienku architekta pri tvorbe architektúry a na rozmanitosť jej grafickej interpretácie. Zamerané sú hlavne na spôsoby prezentácie architektonických koncepcií, teda na úvodnú fázu tvorby, a nie na jej finálny produkt – realizáciu diela.
Architektúra nezačína výkopovými prácami na stavenisku, či betónovaním základov stavby. Vzniká oveľa skôr, v mysli architekta, na jeho pracovnom stole, v jeho autorskom návrhu.
Úspech architektonickej štúdie nezáleží len na správnosti riešenia úlohy, ale aj na jej presvedčivej a výstižnej grafickej interpretácii.
Kniha zoznamuje čitateľa s diverzifikáciou postupov a metód vo vizuálnej a ikonografickej prezentácii architektonického návrhu.
Cieľom predkladaných úvah preto ani nie je dospieť ku všeobecným a konečným riešeniam. Tým by sa poprela logika tvorby architektonického obrazu ako autonómnej výtvarnej disciplíny a tiež možnosti jej ďalšieho rozvoja.

Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good
The first book to chart a visual history of women’s sportswear, and the key role that Nike has played in it over the last 50 years
This is a book about Nike sportswear and what it means to women. The garments women wear, and why they wear them. It’s about athletes, from the elite to the aspiring amateur, running marathons or running errands. It’s about the spaces we perform in, and the way we use clothing to do it: from the track and the fitness studio, to an online world and the street outside.
Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good visualizes the relationship between women and the garments they wear through five design archetypes from sporting history: warm-ups, jerseys, leggings, sport bras, and shorts. Steeped in narrative, history, and Nike’s abundant archive, the book’s rich imagery spans reproductions of Nike’s trade catalogues that date back to the early 1980s, period and contemporary photography, sketches, advertisements, fabric swatches, seasonal color palettes, original design proposals and patents, logos, product and campaign shots, and everything in between.
Each chapter features interviews with Nike athletes, trainers, and other collaborators, along with insightful texts from cultural commentators. Across more than 350 pages and 575 images, this unprecedented volume not only maps the development of women’s sports apparel but proves its potential, in whatever context, to make athletes who identify as women feel at their most powerful.
Featuring contributions from: Dina Asher-Smith, Scout Bassett, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Sue Bird, Deyna Castellanos, Chandra Cheeseborough, Anna Cockrell, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Kirsty Godso, Xochilt Hoover, Rayssa Leal, Tatyana Mcfadden, Naomi Osaka, Megan Rapinoe, Sha’Carri Richardson, Caster Semenya, and Dawn Staley.
Featuring essays by: Dal Chodha, the Editor-in-Chief of Archivist Addendum; Michelle Millar Fisher, the Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Heather Radke, an essayist, journalist, and contributing editor, and reporter at Radiolab; Samantha N. Sheppard, an Associate Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Cornell University; and Natalie E. Wright, a historian of design and disability.

Book of Games
Carsten Höller invites readers to disrupt their daily lives with 336 mind-expanding diversions. They can be played alone, in pairs or in teams, in the street, in bed, on a train, wherever. No props or materials are needed. Just one body, all senses and a willingness to try something new, that's possibly conceptually or physically challenging, but guaranteed to entertain and to widen the player's horizons.
Some games are more obviously daring than others - unexpectedly shouting 'bang!' when your driver's reversing into a parking space is sure to elicit a reaction - but that's absolutely the point. Other games involve covertly dropping strange phrases into conversation, executing somersaults (without practice), or plucking hairs from your opponent's head while they stay poker-faced.
Höller's scientific professional background informs his keenness to create what he calls Influential Environments. He wants to tease the brain while testing its limitations, through activity and passivity, agency and inertia. He conceived his first game with a group of friends in 1992, during a tedious dinner after an exhibition opening. Since then, he has collected and invented ideas, inspired by friends, life, the Surrealists, and Arthur Rimbaud. All games are illustrated with commissioned or pre-existing artworks and photographs. We find portraits by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, August Sander, and Nan Goldin next to paintings by Salvador Dali; snapshots of Joseph Beuys plus son and Donna Haraway plus dog next to appointed pieces by Christine Sun Kim and Anri Sala; film stills by Chantal Akerman, extracts from Shakespeare as well as treasures from Höller's personal archive-and his mother's.
Edited by Stefanie Hessler and Hans Ulrich Obrist, this book encourages readers to engage in playful yet cerebral experiments that will leave them with a sense of wonder, disorientation, and a subtle smirk on their face.
Depeche Mode Live
Depeche Mode už desaťročia prinášajú potešenie fanúšikom po celom svete a za obrovský úspech z veľkej časti vďačia svojim výnimočným živým vystúpeniam. Autori Dennis Burmeister a Sascha Lange sa v tejto knihe zameriavajú práve na ne, keď sledujú vývoj kapely medzi rokmi 1980 a 2023 - od prvých koncertov v zadymených krčmách pred desiatkami divákov až po vypredané svetové turné s miliónmi fanúšikov.
