3 Shades of Blue


1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent, blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths. Above all, this is a book about three very different men - their struggles, their choices, their tragedies, their greatness. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan's hands, an American Odyssey, with no direction home.

Hynais 1


Monumentální dvoudílná monografie malíře Vojtěcha Hynaise s bohatou obrazovou přílohou si klade za cíl zaplňovat mezeru v dosavadním bádání o českém a evropském umění přelomu 19. a 20. století. Proto se v první části předkládá náhled na Hynaisův život v kontextu soudobého kulturního dění. Kromě kapitol zaměřených na způsob malby, stavbu kompozic a práci s modely jsou těžištěm knihy tematicky učleněné bloky. Zázemí života, kontakt se světově významnými osobnostmi či práci s žáky na Akademii přibližuje vhled do autorovy korespondence. Druhý díl knihy zahrnuje soupisový katalog Hynaisových olejomaleb a pastelů, přičemž bohaté přílohy přibližují životopisná data, soupis výstav, cen a vyznamenání, adres ateliérů a bydlišť a ukázky Hynaisových podpisů. Vychází ve spolupráci s Galerií KODL.

Klasický jazyk architektury


Klasická architektura je vizuální „jazyk“ a stejně jako každý jiný jazyk má svá gramatická pravidla. Všechny stavby vykazují povědomí o těchto pravidlech, i když je variují, porušují nebo popírají. Christopher Wren je popsal jako „latinu“ architektury a tato analogie je téměř přesná. Rozdíl je však v tom, že zatímco učení se latině je pomalé a obtížné, jazyk klasické architektury je relativně jednoduchý. Je to stále do značné míry způsob vyjadřování našeho městského prostředí, neboť klasická architektura byla až do poměrně nedávné doby běžným jazykem západního světa. Každý, koho architektura silně oslovuje, již pravděpodobně sám objevil něco z její gramatiky. V této knize si autor klade za cíl co nejjednodušeji a nejnázorněji vyložit přesné gramatické fungování tohoto architektonického jazyka. Nezabývá se ani tak jeho vývojem v Řecku a Římě, jako spíše jeho rozšířením a používáním ve staletích následujících po renesanci. Vysvětluje disciplínu „řádů“ a dramatické odchylky baroka a v poslední kapitole vztah mezi klasickou tradicí a dnešní „moderní“ architekturou.

New York, New York, New York


Michael Sorkin patří mezi nejpřímočařejší a nejbrilantnější autory píšící o architektuře. Ve svém souboru esejů What Goes Up, česky vydaném pod názvem New York, New York, New York, svižně a s humorem, ale přitom s hlubokým vhledem rozebírá procesy, které z jeho milovaného New Yorku udělaly město nablýskaných, ale vyprázdněných mrakodrapů a rostoucí nerovnosti. Rozkrývá zde podoby a praktiky těchto procesů od územního plánování a politických dohod až po jemné detaily architektonického designu a neváhá si přitom brát na paškál nejen developery, politiky a úředníky, ale i slavné starchitekty, jejichž stavby jsou někdy víc značkou než kvalitou. Není však jen kritikem, oceňuje město, které je budované zdola, v lidském měřítku a sestává z udržitelných, spravedlivých a živých sousedství, čímž navazuje na novinářku a aktivistku Jane Jacobs. Třebaže se Sorkinovy eseje zaměřují převážně na New York a byly napsány v letech 2010 až 2017, jsou přenositelné do dalších velkých měst i současnosti. Problémy, které glosuje, jako třeba gentrifikace, krize bydlení, monetizace veřejného prostoru, bezhlavě uplatňované zahušťování, stavění jen pro investice, urbanismus odvislý od automobilismu a mnohé další, jsou totiž dnes aktuálnější než kdy dříve.

Made by MSCHF


A comprehensive, irreverent guide to the inner workings of provocative art collective MSCHF Made by MSCHF is a survey of the work of Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF, known for their eclectic projects that critique the very areas of popular culture they inhabit. Ranging from a line of designer handbags only visible under a microscope to an anime dating game that helps players generate a functional tax return, MSCHF’s works are incisive, often viral, and always instilled with their unique brand of subversive humor. Featuring never-before-seen imagery, this book presents case studies that explore twelve of MSCHF’s projects in depth, providing readers with a blueprint of how their works are developed from ideation to release. Written by two of the collective’s cofounders, the book features an additional six thematic essays and an archive of every MSCHF artwork to date, together revealing the experimental group’s range and evolution. Projects include: Big Red Boot, a pair of cartoonishly large rubber boots; Jesus Shoes, their designer-branded sneakers filled with holy water; ATM Leaderboard, an ATM installed at Art Basel Miami Beach that ranked users by bank balance; and Severed Spots, in which they cut out spots from Damien Hirst prints and sold them as individual art works.

Expressionism


A comprehensive new overview of expressionism, tracing its evolution from the nineteenth century to the present day. Expressionist artists believed in the art object’s ability to communicate emotion, irrespective of any representational or narrative content. In this comprehensive introduction to one of the most radical artistic movements of our time, writer, artist, curator and educator Colin Rhodes traces the thread of expressionist thought from the nineteenth century to the present day, mapping its various manifestations across Europe and the USA, as well as parts of Africa, Asia and South America. By paying particular attention to nuanced issues of gender, sexuality, and cultural appropriation Rhodes challenges the received art-historical narrative and reassesses it in the context of broader twentieth and twenty-first century artistic practice. Generously illustrated, the diverse selection of artists featured in this book range from Wassily Kandinsky, Erma Bossi, Francis Bacon, and Mark Rothko to Ursula Schultze-Bluhm, Gillian Ayres, Purvis Young and Jadé Fadojutimi.

Léčení


Kristina Láníková ve své umělecké dokumentaci výtvarně zpracovává zkušenost s dlouhodobým užíváním psychofarmak a jejich vysazením. Kniha obsahuje přípravné náčrty, fotografie objektů, cyklus rukopisných „omluv“ a asambláže. Jednotlivé série záměrně pracují s omezeným počtem motivů i použitých materiálů – kombinují obrysy náplastí či obalů od léků, odřezky kůže, otisky lékových blistrů, drobné zdravotnické a kancelářské potřeby, poznámkové lístky. Autorka metodicky sleduje téma, které bývá považováno za intimní, a dává mu úsporný, repetitivní, jakoby kódovaný výraz. Zranitelnost, k níž se vztahuje, tak vynáší z osobní sféry a představuje ji jako společné omezení.
