Tate Modern
Since its opening in 2000, Tate Modern has become one of the most popular modern art attractions in the world. Working with the shell of the former Bankside Power Station, internationally acclaimed architects Herzog et de Meuron have created a gallery of singular power and beauty. With the second major phase of the building, Tate Modern presents a striking combination of the raw and the refined, of found industrial spaces and dazzling contemporary architecture. The philosophy and interchange of ideas driving this extraordinary project are revealed in conversations between Tate Modern Director Chris Dercon and architect Jack Herzog among other key people involved. Featuring stunning new photography and texts by a range of leading architectural writers, this is the essential guide to one of the world’s most iconic buildings.

Fucking Good Art : the interviews
Rotterdam was het centrum van de kunstwereld, met internationale coryfeeën als Chris Dercon, Catherine David en nationale als Wilma Sütö en Arno van Roosmalen, maar opeens waren ze allemaal weg, gedeeltelijk vervangen door Sjarel Ex en Hans Maarten van den Brink. Vijftien jaar werden er interessante tentoonstellingen georganiseerd en buitenlandse tentoonstellingsmakers ingevlogen. Wat ging er verkeerd? Wil de lokale politiek geen moeilijke kunst, maar publieksevenementen? Interviews met de Rotterdamse betrokkenen.
The 'air of Liberty'
The Caribbean imagination as framed within a Dutch historical setting has deep Portuguese-African roots. The Seven Provinces were the first European power, in the first half of the 17th century, to challenge the Iberian countries directly for a share in the slave trade. This book analyzes the philosophy underlying this transoceanic link, when contacts with Africa started to be developed. The ambiguous morality of the `air of liberty? governing the Afro-Portuguese past had its impact on the creole cultures (white, black, Jewish) of the Dutch territories of Suriname and Curacao. Although this influence is gradually disappearing, it is astonishing to witness the engagement with which writers an...
