G.J. Mendel
Trojjazyčná kniha mapuje cesty k analýze genomu Gregora Johanna Mendela, která se uskutečnila u příležitosti 200. výročí narození tohoto významného vědce. Popisuje vyzdvižení jeho ostatků z augustiniánské hrobky na Ústředním hřbitově v Brně a jejich vědecké zkoumání i hledání stop Mendelovy DNA na jeho osobních věcech uchovaných v Augustiniánském opatství na Starém Brně. Jednotlivé kapitoly, tedy cesty výzkumu, seznamují čtenáře s prvotními impulzy vedoucími k archeologickému výzkumu hrobky a následné analýze Mendelova genomu. Přibližují proces ztotožnění ostatků nalezených v hrobě s osobou opata Mendela, antropologický výzkum jeho kosterních pozůstatků i postup izolace a analýzu DNA této historické osobnosti. Bohatá fotografická dokumentace dokládá napínavou práci vědeckého týmu, jehož zásluhou vznikla kniha přinášející překvapivá zjištění a nové, důležité poznatky o zakladateli genetiky.

Maria Bartuszová - Catalogue Raisonné (GB)
“My breath is a part of the universe pulsating.”
Czech-born Slovak sculptor Maria Bartuszová (1936 – 1996) studied at the Ceramics and Porcelain Studio at Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, and spent most of her life in Košice, Slovakia. This Catalogue Raisonné provides a comprehensive overview of her sculpture, her original techniques and methods, and themes and ideas she explored that have remained undiscovered for a long time.
A distinctiveness of Maria Bartuszová's approach is her concentration on the intimate experience of art, perceiving the creativity of nature and being connected to the laws of the universe. She used her knowledge of natural sciences, combined with a holistic approach, and her skill of intuitive guidance and the imaginative activity of play, as a conceptual method while experimenting with materials and the technical potential of sculpture. Her morphological thinking sought ideal form and haptic attraction, which encourages the viewer to touching – forging a certain closeness and intimate experience based on physical and mental participation. Maria Bartuszová’s work exudes fascination with life, but also humility towards it, both of which are the driving force behind her creativity.
This project has been supported using public funds provided by Slovak Arts Council.

Ai Weiwei
Ai Weiwei is not only one of the most important contemporary artists; he is also an untiring activist and critic of authoritarian systems. "Humanity" includes key works from all phases of the artist's career and examines in detail the aspect of humanity and artistic responsibility in the oeuvre of Ai Weiwei.
The catalogue sheds light on concepts such as surveillance, censorship, human rights, freedom of expression, human displacement, radical responsibility, the power of beauty, and the truth of poetry. Guided by these thoughts, it offers new perspectives to understand the relevance of Ai Weiwei's artistic language. It will encompass a wide range of art-historical paradigms (such as the readymade) alongside more radical activist strategies, all aimed at exploring the extremes of the contemporary human condition on a global scale.

Bread And Ashes
Tony Anderson set out in the summer of 1998 to walk through Georgia. He wanted particularly to visit the Georgian mountain tribes - Tush, Khevsurs, Ratchuelians and Svans - to discover if they shared a common mountain culture, and to test the old idea of the Caucasus as an impenetrable barrier from sea to sea. From Azerbaijan to Svaneti, Anderson found communities where the old customs and beliefs still triumphantly survive, despite years of Communist oppression and the terrible uncertainties since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Throughout his journey Anderson refers back to many other visits to Georgia, to the politics of independence, to the war in Abkhazia and Ossetia, to the civil war and Shevardnadze's accession to power, to the history of these people at one of the great crossroads of the world. It remains an abiding mystery that Georgia has managed to survive at all, devastated time and again by the vagabond hordes from the steppes and torn between the mighty empires that struggled over it. But survive it has with a vibrant culture still intact and, in the mountains, still deeply connected to its ancient ways.

Michelangelo. The Complete Works. Paintings, Sculptures, Architecture
Before reaching the tender age of 30, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted Pieta and David, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. As a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect, the achievements of this Italian master are unique-no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multifaceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre.
This fresh TASCHEN edition traces Michelangelo's ascent to the cultural elite of the Renaissance. Ten richly illustrated chapters cover the artist's paintings, sculptures, and architecture, including a close analysis of the artist's tour de force frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Full-page reproductions and enlarged details allow readers to appreciate the finest details in the artist's repertoire, while the book's biographical essay considers Michelangelo's more personal traits and circumstances, such as his solitary nature, his thirst for money and commissions, his immense wealth, and his skill as a property investor.
