Aboriginal Art


The perfect introduction to Aboriginal art for students, travellers, art lovers and collectors, now in its fourth edition. This concise survey showcases the incredible, diverse work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait artists. Building on traditions that stretch back at least 50,000 years, these artists have long worked in a variety of contexts from the sacred and secret realm of ceremony to more public spheres.

Schéner


Schéner Mihály éppúgy tekinthető a reneszánsz művészek kései leszármazottjának, mint a sajátosan értelmezett, magyar posztavantgárd jelentős képviselőjének. Fest, rajzol, szobrot varr és önt, gyűri és tépi a vásznat, játékot fabrikál, bábot tervez, új szavakat kreál, esszét és bölcs aforizmákat ír, karnevált szervez, performanszok főszereplője. Képletesen szólva, igazi vagabundként otthonosan jár-kel a magyar Alföld homokbuckáin, ahol hajdanvolt pásztorok és betyárok alakja sejlik fel a hajnali párában,és egykori, daliás huszárok vívják soha véget nem érő harcukat. Megmássza az Olümposz sziklás oldalát a pánsípok néhány futamáért. Betér a népi fazekasműhelyekbe és életre kelti a bumfordi miskakancsókat, új formákkal munkát ad a mézeskalácsosoknak,majd a velencei karnevál forgatagában "alakoskodik". Míg az egyik pillanatban reneszánsz udvarok titkait lesi ki, a másikban már a Pokol bugyraiban szembesül az emberi kiszolgáltatottság különböző stációival. Hagyományos kategóriákkal megközelíthetetlen művészete így alkotói folyamatokat tükröző tematikai sorozatokból, formai szekvenciákból, kötetlen anyaghasználatból és a műfaji határok átlépéséből szövődik össze.

Azzedine Alaia: A Couturier's Collection


A stunning showcase of Azzedine Alaia's remarkable fashion collection, published here for the first time. Azzedine Alaia (1935–2017) was not only a world-renowned fashion designer but also an avid collector of vintage fashion. Now a major exhibition at the Palais Galliera, Paris, Azzedine Alaia showcases the extensive collection he built up over the decades, driven by his fascination with the history of couture and his desire to conserve its heritage for future generations. Accumulated in utmost secrecy and never revealed during his lifetime, the sumptuous selection of garments ranges from the nineteenth-century elegance of Jacques Doucet and the House of Worth to the names that shaped twentieth-century fashion—Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Schiaparelli—and contemporary innovators such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen. Captured in specially taken photographs, these meticulously crafted pieces are a tribute to Alaia’s unerring tastes, to the couturiers who inspired and influenced him, and to his endless respect for the craftspeople who created such objects of lasting beauty.

Jižanská gotika v současných televizních seriálech


Lokální traumata, násilí, groteskní postavy a nehostinná krajina. Seriály jako American Gothic, True Detective nebo Ostré předměty se těší značné oblibě a v mnoha případech se na čas staly vlajkovou lodí nabídky streamovacích služeb. Monografie výzkumného týmu FAMU (Veronika Klusáková, Martin Charvát, Sara Pinheiro a Petr Pláteník) se věnuje gotickým projevům v seriálech současné televize zasazených do oblasti jihu Spojených států. Americký Jih je s žánrem „gothic“ spjat již od 19. století a skrze tzv. gotický proud v literatuře od 30. let dvacátého století formuje jak vnímání tematických konstant a estetických strategií žánru, tak politické geografie a kultury Jihu jako takového. V souvislosti s rozmachem quality TV došlo k „migraci“ gotické senzibility do seriálových narativů, jejichž analýza je předmětem této knihy.

Mo Yi - Selected Photographs 1988-2003


The first retrospective of one of China's most important photographic artists, published to coincide with Mo Yi's major international exhibition at the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art and Les Rencontres d'Arles Photography Festival. Mo Yi is a photographic artist with a career spanning nearly forty years, from the 1980s to today. This retrospective contextualizes his work within the evolution of contemporary art following reform and opening in China in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. Working in a documentary tradition, but building on and reinterpreting the meaning of "documentary," Mo Yi's practice is exemplified by experimentation. Regularly creating work in distinct series, he has continually tested ways of extending the boundaries of the medium and his own personal expression. This publication, supported by his first exhibition outside of China, surveys Mo Yi's experimentation in photographic production and performance over the course of his career. Organized into five chronological chapters that mark the milestones of Mo Yi's journey as an artist, each introduced by Holly Roussell, the book presents the key projects and series, created through an era of great change in China. A restless innovator of photographic practice and form, Mo Yi has combined photography of daily life with the exploratory and performative processes for which his work has become renowned, shifting from the dynamic black-and-white images of his earlier practice to the vivid red that becomes a recurring motif in his later color work. With text contributions from Christoph Wiesner, director of Les Rencontres d'Arles, and Philip Tinari, director of UCCA, this book will introduce one of China's most important, yet virtually unknown, artists to international audiences for the first time. 163 color illustrations

The Little Guide to Yves Saint Laurent


Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL, is one of the most famous fashion designers of all time, whose impact on the fashion world is almost unmatched.

Despite a life marred with addiction, war and mental health struggles, Yves remained a powerhouse of the fashion industry for 50 years, and his name - and initials - are now synonymous with quality, innovation and heritage. His collections may have sometimes generated controversy and criticism, but they have proved to be timeless and transformative. The Little Guide to Yves Saint Laurent charts his tumultuous rise to the top, accompanied by facts and quotes from, and about, the man himself and the fashion legacy he built.

Still Life


A concise introduction to the matchless still life collection of the Dresden Gemäldegalerie Published in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition at the Old Meister Gallery (Gemäldegalerie) in Dresden, this richly illustrated book presents a selection of stunning still life paintings. The enchanted objects depicted in still lifes bear witness to great wealth and hedonism, but they also reflect the worldly curiosity of the Enlightenment and the religious reverence of the Baroque era. Along with individual works from the Gemäldegalerie’s world-class collection, this volume examines the many facets of the genre of still life, as well as its role in Dutch and Flemish painting traditions. What function did still lifes serve, what allegories and symbols were hidden in their coded messages? More than 70 works from the Dresden collection by painters such as Cornelis de Heem, Abraham Mignon, Rachel Ruysch and Frans Snyders provide a unique insight into the heyday of this magical genre.
