A Century of Austrian Design
A "Century of Austrian Design” offers a highly accessible overview of Austrian design culture from 1900 to the present against the background of the country’s extremely turbulent industrial history. In the process, the key aspects are explained in essays by celebrated experts. The book attempts to delineate a specifically "Austrian” formal language, citing as examples specific achievements in historical and contemporary design. As it does so, it also sheds light on other defining moments of Austria’s design culture, including the enormous potential of its inventors, the phenomenon of semi-industrial manufacturing, and the innovative design solutions advanced by the Austrian sporting goods industry. A yellow pages section with selected design addresses rounds off the volume.
Curiosity And Passion For Science And Art
This book describes the accomplishments of a curious and imaginative scientist, and his endeavours to translate or even to extrapolate scientific insights into the world of art.The science section in this volume concerns studies on S-layers, a very important class of proteins found on the surface of numerous Bacteria and nearly all Archaea. S-layer proteins are one of the most abundant biopolymers on our planet, and assemble into the simplest type of biological membrane. Moreover, they are unique building blocks and patterning elements for the production of complex supramolecular structures and nanoscale devices in nanobiotechnology, molecular nanotechnology, synthetic biology, biomimetics a...
Magic of the object
Im Projekt SPUTNIK treffen die etablierte Kunstsammlerin Andra Spallart und der Fotograf, Sammler und Kurator Fritz Simak zusammen. Seit einigen Jahren arbeiten sie gemeinsam an einer der spannendsten und inhaltlich fundiertesten Fotografie-Kollektionen Österreichs. SPUTNIK steht für eine Sicht auf Fotografie abseits ausgetretener Pfade des Mainstreams. Nicht ausschliesslich berühmte Fotografennamen bilden das Zentrum der Sammlung, sondern Werke, die durch ihre Qualität und die zugrunde liegende Idee überzeugen. Hier wird auch dem Aussergewöhnlichen Raum gegeben, dem Experiment, aus dem die Eigenart des Mediums spricht. Das offene Konzept und der unverstellte Blick bringen erfrischende Begegnungen mit Fotokunst und lassen dem Betrachter Raum für eigene Interpretationen.

Restoration
How social upheavals after the collapse of the French Empire shaped the lives and work of artists in early nineteenth-century Europe As the French Empire collapsed between 1812 and 1815, artists throughout Europe were left uncertain and adrift. The final abdication of Emperor Napoleon, clearing the way for a restored monarchy, profoundly unsettled prevailing national, religious, and social boundaries. In Restoration, Thomas Crow combines a sweeping view of European art centers—Rome, Paris, London, Madrid, Brussels, and Vienna—with a close-up look at pivotal artists, including Antonio Canova, Jacques-Louis David, Théodore Géricault, Francisco Goya, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Thomas ...
İpek, the Crescent & the Rose
Status symbols, diplomatic gifts, artistic mediums and economic treasures--figured silk fabrics were among the most powerful and most characteristic artistic products of the Ottoman Empire. Wars were fought for control of silk revenues, and governments devoted major bureaucratic efforts toward the organization, regulation and taxation of silk production. Ipek: The Crescent & the Roseis the most comprehensive and magnificently illustrated overview of Ottoman silk textiles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its lavish, full-bleed, six-color reproductions of fabrics from the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and from lesser-known ecclesiastical treasuries in the Balkans, Sweden, Poland and Russia, demonstrate the creativity of Ottoman weavers in rich detail, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in design or a general appreciation for visual delights. Accompanied by scholarly essays that shed light on the different historical, legislative, economic and technological factors that determined the history of these textiles.
Form follows fiction
Form Follows Fiction focuses on a generation of artists who can no longer follow the modemist dictum "form follows function." Some of these artists create structures that intersect with everyday life, while others construct elaborate fictional systems that fuse elements of reality and fantasy. All have developed new models of contemporary reality that are as fictional as they are real. Conceived as a sequel to the 1992 exhibition Post Human, also curated by Jeffrey Deutch.
Interviews
Interviews conducted with artists over the course of curatorial and art publishing activities of the editor.
