Marina Abramovic & Ulay: No Predicted End


Two of the most iconic performance artists collaborated for 17 years. This book covers the final meeting between Marina Abramovic and Ulay after year-long conflict. Marina Abramovic and Ulay met on November 30, 1975, their shared birthday, and became both partners and artistic collaborators. Together they created groundbreaking performances such as Relations in Space, in which they collided head-on for over an hour, Rest Energy, in which they balanced a bow with the arrowhead aimed at Marina's heart, and Night-sea Crossing, in which they sat in silence facing each other for seven hours, repeated 22 times. Their last performance in 1988 consisted of a 4,000 km walk from opposite ends of the Great Wall of China, not to get married, as planned, but to get divorced. After a touching reunion in The Artist is Present in 2010 and a subsequent conflict over rights, they met one last time, shortly before Ulay's death, for a conversation about their love and artistic legacy. This meeting became a final work of art, where the truth behind the masks was explored, not through pain, but in the light of death. Louisiana Channel filmed their conversation and it has resulted in a richly illustrated book. The book has been selected a Best Danish Book Design of the year.

Mars - Photographs from the NASA Archives


Early astronomers, drawn to Mars's fiery glow in the night sky, named the planet after their god of war. In the centuries since, Mars has captivated humankind as a source of endless speculation and a beacon of hope for its potential habitability. Through six decades of NASA's pioneering research missions, the mysteries of the red planet have been gradually uncovered, revealing a world not so unlike our own that likely once supported life. See the earliest close-up images of Mars taken by the Mariner 4 spacecraft in 1965-the first ever captured of another planet-along with historical illustrations from an era when curiosity outpaced scientific progress. Science and art collide as NASA's later orbiter missions capture aerial views of ancient riverbeds, polar ice caps, dust storms, vast canyons, and towering volcanoes in an endlessly varied landscape. As they traverse Mars's rugged surface, NASA's rovers have operated as mechanical extensions of humankind for the past 25 years, drilling holes, searching for traces of water, and marveling at mountain ranges and panoramic sunsets. Through hundreds of cutting-edge photographs from NASA's extensive archives, we join their scientists in the ongoing quest to better understand Mars. Essays by NASA's former Chief Scientist James L. Green and JPL Chief Engineer Rob Manning provide an in-depth look at the history of Martian exploration and the challenges of preparing for these groundbreaking missions. Captions by planetary scientist Emily Lakdawalla skillfully illuminate each image's content and technical context, and a foreword by renowned poet Nikki Giovanni and an introduction by curator Margaret A. Weitekamp reflect on Mars's significance in our cultural imagination. From a distant enigma to a tangible frontier whose every grain of sand we can now observe, this volume celebrates the extraordinary progress NASA has made, bringing us closer than ever to understanding our neighboring world.

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.

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 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.
