Slip into a pew at a Catholic church almost anywhere in the world on a Sunday morning and you ll likely find something missing the Bible More than five hundred years after the Bible came off the first printing press why does the world s largest biblical religion often not have a printed Bible in the room And if not how is it that the life of Catholics is shaped by the Bible In How Catholics Encounter the Bible award winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics a book central to their tradition but not usually in the form of a book Biblical ideas and beliefs are more often mediated through diverse modes of storytelling artistic imagination and ritual Peppard begins from the conviction that the Bible for Catholics is not bound with leather book covers but with the liturgical binding of the sign of the cross the wrought metal framing of a stained glass window or the lyrical structures of a God haunted poet He thus de emphasizes the act of private individual reading and instead analyzes distinctively Catholic approaches to the Bible through ritual literature the arts and ethics Primary among these encounters are the Mass and events of the life cycle but Peppard also presents the Cat

"Publicado con motivo de la exposición retrospectiva Huguette Caland. Una vida en pocas líneas, este catálogo recorre la trayectoria de la creadora libanesa Huguette Caland (Beirut, 1931-2019) a traves de ocho ensayos, textos de la propia artista y la reproduccion de numerosas obras de diferentes etapas, algunas ineditas hasta la fecha.Estructurada cronologicamente, la publicacion abre con un extenso y exhaustivo ensayo de la comisaria de la muestra, Hannah Feldman, quien ofrece una mirada panoramica sobre la prolifica y diversa produccion de Caland, la cual abarca contextos y medios plasticos muy dispares, y se caracteriza por un intenso compromiso con la vida y el arte, dos dimensiones que consideraba profundamente entrelazadas. Le siguen las investigaciones de seis historiadores que se centran en diferentes aspectos, como sus inicios creativos en Beirut, su ciudad natal; la libertad expresiva que hallo en Paris; su incursion en el diseño de moda; la contencion formal con la que experimento en Venice, California; o sus ultimas reflexiones en torno a la vejez y la memoria. A modo de cierre, la propia artista toma la palabra a traves de tres de sus poemas, presentados por su hija, Brigitte Caland."

What does a sanctuary for Hawaiian crows have in common with a troop of robots programmed to perform the Mori haka or recreations of World Heritage Sites built in Minecraft A family heirloom An endangered species An ancient piece of pottery A threatened language These things differ in myriad ways but they are tied together by a common thread they are all examples of things that call out to be saved The world is brimming with things worth saving and we have limited time and resources How do we decide what to save Why do we make these choices Philosopher Erich Hatala Matthes explores these questions as they surface in radically diverse contexts from museums to TikTok and from National Parks to the corner of your attic Matthes illustrates the deep relationship between the things we might save and our sense of self If our cares and concerns are a fundamental part of our identity then what we care for and preserve will play a significant role in shaping and maintaining our understanding of who we are In a world in which everything that we care about is subject to powerful forces of change from climate disturbance and armed conflict to social transformation and the wear and tear of time the terms on which we confront change will be key to whether and ho

The story of two watchmakers who established a luxury watch brand and in only a few years created some of the most innovative, refined and sought-after timepieces in the world.This is the untold story of how two rebellious master watchmakers, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, learned their craft, met, established a brand, and in a few years created some of the most astonishingly beautiful and mechanically sophisticated timepieces ever made. Today they are recognized as the makers of the most uncompromising designs in the world.The two men met in early 1992 at Renaud et Papi, a hothouse of new watchmaking ideas in Le Locle in the Swiss Jura Mountains. They teamed up and launched Greubel Forsey in 2004 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, refusing to accept that everything had already been invented in watchmaking. Going against the grain, they focused their energy on uncompromising innovation and the most difficult elements of hand finishing, bringing back a level of excellence that would rival the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masters.Greubel and Forsey are responsible for many inventions that have advanced watchmaking expertise to new levels as well as creating thirty unique and original calibres since 2004.
