This book takes a profound look at exhibition design, or scenography, as an artistic medium. Mathilde Romans introductory essay highlights the pioneering historical contributions by designers and architects like Lily Reich, Franco Albini, Lina Bo Bardi, Carlo Scarpa, and others who revolutionized their discipline. It examines how during the 20th and early 21st century experimentation with the display, the frame, the pedestal, the picture rails has become an artistic act in its own right. In-depth interviews with thirteen renowned international artists and designersamong them Philippe Parreno, Rosa Barba, Berger&Berger, or Monster Chetwyndfurther highlight the relevance of scenography in contemporary culture. They show how artists integration of technical and perceptual aspects of exhibiting has fundamentally changed our understanding of art, thereby encouraging us to take a fresh look at art history.Mathilde Roman is an art historian (PhD Paris 1 Sorbonne) and art critic living in Nice.

Based on the premise that art as well as space are part and product of social, political, and economic relations, the e-book analyzes the dialectic relationship of artistic practices and urban space in Detroit. The city of Detroit, with its massive population loss, abundance of vacant lots and buildings, and continuing racialization and marketization of space, provides a unique, although not exceptional setting for this research. Through a set of ethnographic methods, Nora Kuttel identifies five artistic practices that each refers to a specific aspect of space and its production, such as materiality or publicness. She foregrounds diverse and manifold relations of artistic practices and urban space in Detroit and unveils the dynamics and conflicts as well as multiple meanings and histories of (artistic) spaces in Detroit that often run counter to dominant representations of space. Nora Kuttel also shows how those practices produce spaces that are shaped by heterogeneity and participation. The research contributes to geographys engagement with art by offering a critical perspective on the intersection of artistic practices and space with regard to issues of power and representation over and within urban space.

As he looks back over a working lifetime as a farming journalist and television producer Arthur claims that these trials and tribulations were never even hinted at in his various job interviews.

In "What the Schools Teach and Might Teach," John Franklin Bobbitt undertakes a critical examination of the educational curriculum in American schools, offering a blend of rigorous analysis and innovative pedagogical recommendations. The book delves into the prevailing educational practices of the early 20th century, juxtaposing them with aspirational models that aim to enhance student engagement and foster holistic development. With an eloquent prose style that balances scholarly rigor and accessibility, Bobbitt situates his work within the broader discourse on progressive education, seeking to challenge traditional paradigms while advocating for a curriculum that reflects the complexities of contemporary society. John Franklin Bobbitt was a prominent educational theorist and reformer whose extensive background in both education and philosophy shaped his perspective on curriculum design. His tenure as an educator, coupled with a keen interest in the sociopolitical dimensions of education, informed his belief that schools must adapt to meet the evolving needs of students and society. This foundational view led him to interrogate the status quo and propose thoughtful alternatives that resonate with modern educational challenges.

The world of finance exerts a huge influence over our lives, being responsible for economic turmoil and seemingly interminable peaks and crashes. Whereas money was once a simple means of exchange, today it is a commodity in itself and as capital exerts power over individuals, degrading work to tradable labour. Can we find a new way of understanding money today, so that we can begin to overcome its destructive aspects?In November 1984 a remarkable discussion took place at the Meeting House in Ulm, Germany. It featured the radical artist Joseph Beuys, two professors (of Financial Sciences and Political Economics) and a banker. Beuys would appear to be out of place among these heavyweight academics, professionals and authors. But rather than being intimidated by his fellow panellists, Beuys - also a social and political activist - demonstrates his groundbreaking thinking on the subject, and his ability to bring fresh perspectives. Here for the first time is a transcript of this debate, together with analysis by Ulrich Rosch, which will be of equal interest to artists, economists and spiritual seekers.

Martin Heidegger was a German philosopher and a seminal thinker in the Continental tradition and philosophical hermeneutics. According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, he is "widely acknowledged to be one of the most original and important philosophers of the 20th century". Heidegger is best known for his contributions to phenomenology and existentialism, though as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy cautions, "his thinking should be identified as part of such philosophical movements only with extreme care and qualification".

This book of mine, "What is Art?" appears now for the first time in its true form. More than one edition has already been issued in Russia, but in each case it has been so mutilated by the "Censor," that I request all who are interested in my views on art only to judge of them by the work in its present shape. The causes which led to the publication of the bookwith my name attached to itin a mutilated form were the following: In accordance with a decision I arrived at long ago,not to submit my writings to the "Censorship" (which I consider to be an immoral and irrational institution), but to print them only in the shape in which they were written,I intended not to attempt to print this work in Russia. However, my good acquaintance, Professor Grote, editor of a Moscow psychological magazine, having heard of the contents of my work, asked me to print it in his magazine, and promised me that he would get the book through the "Censors" office unmutilated if I would but agree to a few very unimportant alterations, merely toning down certain expressions. I was weak enough to agree to this, and it has resulted in a book appearing under my name, from which not only have some essential thoughts been excluded, but into which the thoughts of other meneven thoughts utterly opposed to my own convictionshave been introduced.

Joseph Beuyss work continues to influence and inspire practitioners and thinkers all over the world, in areas from organizational learning, direct democracy and new money forms to new art pedagogies and ecological art practices. Here, in dialogue with Volker Harlan - a close colleague, whose own work also revolves around understandings of substance and sacrament that are central to Beuys - the deeper motivations and insights underlying social sculpture, Beuyss expanded conception of art, are illuminated. His profound reflections, complemented with insightful essays by Volker Harlan, give a sense of the interconnectedness between all life forms, and the foundations of a path towards an ecologically sustainable future. This volume features over 40 b/w illustrations.

During the first eight years of its existence, Little White Lies magazine has published countless interviews with some of the biggest names in the movies. Yet staff and collaborators have all been encouraged to round-off these interviews by posing a single, searching question: What do you love about movies? The answers have been entertaining, profound, personal, ridiculous, revealing and unexpected, but always unique. Now, for the first time, these declarations of movie passion have been collected into the ultimate one-stop celebration of cinema, with subjects including legendary directors (Francis Ford Coppola, the Coen brothers, Wes Anderson, Steven Soderbergh, Pedro Almodovar, Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino, Spike Jonze), as well as A-list icons (Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, Kristen Stewart, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy). Alongside these star-spangled testimonies are newly commissioned illustrations and immaculate art direction care of the award-winning LWLies creative team.

From one of the countrys most eminent reviewers and academics, a delightfully sceptical and devastatingly intelligent assessment of the true value of art.

Since his successful spell running the National Theatre, Richard Eyres career as a director of film, theatre and opera has made him a leading cultural figure and a hugely respected commentator on the arts.This book collects over fifty short pieces written by Eyre about people he has known and worked with, ideas he has struggled with, things that have moved, delighted or infuriated him. He writes with candour, perceptiveness and charm, and always with an eye for the telling anecdote or the revealing detail that betrays the inner life of his subject.Here we encounter Arthur Miller recounting to Eyre the events of the first night of Death of a Salesman; Harold Pinter overheard in a characteristically pugnacious exchange; Judi Dench racing clockwork chicks across a table, her face illuminated by demented glee.Here too are Alan Bennett, Kate Winslet, Margaret Thatcher, John Mortimer and Marlon Brando, each of them brought vividly and unforgettably to life in the space of a few hundred words.Eyre also includes pieces about the monarchy, about the Iraq War, about Alzheimers Disease (from which his mother suffered), about his love of climbing (from the comparative safety of his armchair), and about the relationship between music and sexuality.What Do I Know? is a book that tackles serious ideas with a light and often mischievous touch, and it confirms Eyres place as one of our foremost writers and cultural statesmen.Richard Eyres writing is illuminated by all he has achieved as the consummate director of our age. He is the wise and gentle expert on the human heart. Ian McEwan

Der letzte Band der Wewerreihe befasst sich mit der langen Geschichte des auf der Anhohe vor Paderborn gelegenen Gutes Warthe. Mit seiner Bedeutung als Gasthof am Alten Hellweg, der alten Heeres- und Handelsstrae, und wie es ihm gelang, diese Lage aufrecht zu erhalten, selbst anlasslich des als Wewerscher Skandal bekanntgewordenen kulturzerstorenden Straenausbaus.Im weiteren Teil geht es um die Gefahrdung der naturlichen Umgebung, den Ausverkauf der Landschaft und der Natur durch die Windindustrialisierung, aber auch um historische und aktuelle Naturbeobachtungen, auch der geheimnisvollen Nachtfalter, und um das Naturschutzgebiet Ziegenberg bei Paderborn.Der dritte Teil fasst die bisherigen Forschungen zur katholischen Pfarrkirche St. Johannes-Baptist zusammen, von ihrem mittelalterlichen Beginn uber die Rolle der adeligen Patronatsherren, dem Ende als selbststandiger Pfarrei durch Aufgehen im neuen Pfarrverbund bis zur Suche nach neuen Impulsen fur das Gemeindeleben, wie schon einmal im 19. Jhdt. Damals hatte es in der politisch schwierigen Zeit von Bismarcks Kirchenkampf unerwartete weibliche Impulse im Zusammenhang mit der Schlosskapelle gegeben.
