An accessible and visually rich study of Japanese photography since 1945 by an experienced curator specializing in Japanese art and culture.

Paula Scher: Works


The definitive visual record of the groundbreaking graphic designer and Pentagram partner, Paula Scher. Paula Scher is one of the most influential graphic designers in the world. Described as the ‘master conjurer of the instantly familiar’, Scher straddles the line between pop culture and fine art in her work. Iconic, smart and accessible, her images have entered the American vernacular. Paula Scher: Works is the definitive visual record of the groundbreaking graphic designer and Pentagram partner. Published by Unit Editions, the 522-page book presents the most extensive monograph of Scher’s career to date, featuring over 300 projects from from her early days in the music industry as an art director with CBS and Atlantic Records, through the launch of her first studio, Koppel & Scher, to her 25-year engagement with Pentagram. Co-edited by Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy, the book organizes Scher’s work chronologically into several thematic sections. It opens with a long interview with the designer, then moves into her record covers from the 1970s and 80s. Central chapters look at her innovative approach to identity design and environmental graphics and its impact on contemporary New York’s urban fabric ? as seen in work for clients from MoMA to Charter Schools; from the High Line to Shake Shack ? as well as her logos for global corporations and cultural institutions. A large section on authorship is devoted to the designer’s socially and politically-motivated posters, New York Times Op-Ed illustrations and campaign work. The book also provides the most up-to-date look at Scher’s idiosyncratic hand-painted maps, a prolific artistic practice that complements her still-growing graphic legacy, as well as her longstanding collaboration with The Public Theater, which spans over twenty years.

Concerning the Spiritual in Art


A seminal text in the history of modern art, from one of the most famous artists of the twentieth century In Concerning the Spiritual in Art Wassily Kandinsky, one of the most famous abstract painters of all time, urges the reader to free themselves from art's traditional bonds to material reality. In this radical theoretical work, he calls for a spiritual revolution in painting, arguing that artists, much like musicians, should be allowed to express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Investigating form and colour, spirituality and tradition, Kandinsky explores art's resonance with the soul, its purpose and nature, and its power to inspire us, to stir our emotions and to help us see beyond the limits of our world. A significant contribution to the understanding of non-objectivism in art, this book serves as an important landmark in modern art history and is necessary reading for every artist and art-lover.

Dům & zahrada - Kafkárna


Publikace je kolektivním sborníkem a teoreticko-uměleckou reflexí projektu Centra pro umění a ekologii UMPRUM. Podobně jako archiv projektu zachycuje jeho procesuálnost v letech 2022–2024 a shrnuje jak teoreticko-metodologické, tak imaginativní a vizuální uvažování o tématech umění, ekologie, inkluze, ekofeminismu, nerůstu a komunitního soužití ve veřejném prostoru. Kniha čerpá zejména ze tří mezinárodních a mezioborových sympozií, která se konala na Kafkárně pod záštitou Centra pro umění a ekologii UMPRUM v letech 2022–2023. Staví tak mj. na příspěvcích pozvaných účastníků a účastnic. Kniha je spíše ne zcela uzavřenou úvahou či metodickým návodem, jak centrum umění a ekologie vytvořit, otevřeným procesem výměny a interakce na zkoumaná témata a jevy. Grafika Magdalena Konečná, Žofia Fodorová. Vychází za finanční podpory Iceland Liechtenstein Norway grants, Státního fondu kultury ČR a Ministerstva kultury ČR.

Lucia Moholy: Exposures


Jako fotografka, portrétistka, odbornice na dokumentační činnost a autorka mnoha publicistických textů, se Lucia Moholy (1894–1989) vzpírá jasné kategorizaci. Působila aktivně jak v avantgardních kruzích, tak na poli informační vědy, kde přispívala k prohloubení porozumění vizuální reprodukci. Oproti předchozím titulům věnovaným Lucii Moholy, které omezovaly její úspěchy na pětileté působení na Bauhausu, publikace Lucia Moholy: Exposures poprvé zachycuje celou šíři její publikační i fotografické činnosti. Obsáhlé eseje čerpající z nových archivních nálezů odhalují její mládí v Praze na přelomu století, zapojení v radikálních sociálních hnutích ve dvacátých letech 20. století v Německu v období Výmarské republiky, emigraci do Londýna, kde se jejími kolegy a přáteli stali i členové skupiny Bloomsbury, dále její působení v oblasti mikrofilmové a vědecké dokumentace za druhé světové války, pracovní působení v Turecku pro UNESCO i její přijetí mladší uměleckou generací, včetně Jana Tichého. Publikace přibližuje, jak mezioborový přístup k fotografii uplatňovaný Moholy ve všech těchto kontextech předznamenal postanalogovou současnost tohoto média.

Diogenes Kynik znovu naživu a Patriarcha Abraham


První část knihy přináší nový překlad Komenského školní hry z roku 1640 Diogenes Cynicus redivivus. Tento známý text čekal na nové přetlumočení celých 54 let; nový český převod bude jistě pro mnoho čtenářů lákavější než zestárlý překlad. Druhá část knihy nabízí čtenářům české přetlumočení Komenského v pořadí druhé hry Abrahamus Patriarcha. Z této Komenského práce byly dosud českým čtenářům k dispozici jen drobné ukázky. Oba překlady vycházejí s komentáři a úvodní studií.
