The House of Beauty and Culture
The House of Beauty and Culture (HOBAC) was an avant-garde boutique, design studio, and crafts collective in late 1980s London, with key figures like Judy Blame, John Moore, Cindy Palmano, and duo Fric and Frack. Until recently, HOBAC's influence was widely felt, yet barely documented, part of a subculture rooted in artistic practice, post-punk rebellion, and resistance to mainstream culture and overproduction. Against a dire socio-political and economic backdrop, they were among the first to upcycle found materials and champion androgynous urban style. Through diligent research, interviews, and countless images, Kasia Maciejowska honours the group's legacy.
The Past is a Foreign Country - Revisited
A completely updated new edition of David Lowenthal's classic account of how we reshape the past to serve present needs.
Pop Culture Yoga
Pop Culture Yoga: A Communication Remix was born out of a series of questions about the paradoxical nature of yoga: How do individuals and groups define yoga? What does it mean to “practice yoga,” and what does this practice involve? What are some of the most important principles, guidelines, or philosophical tenets of yoga that shape people’s definitions and practices? Who has the power and authority to define yoga? What are the limits, if any, of shared definitions of yoga? Kristen C. Blinne explores the myriad ways “yoga” is communicatively constructed and defined in and through popular culture in the United States. In doing so, Blinne offers insight into the many identity work ...
Kunstpädagogik im Fokus von Digitalisierung, Künstlerkooperation und Lernortwechsel
Die letzten Jahrzehnte, insbesondere die letzten drei Jahrzehnte, haben die Gemüter der kunstpädagogischen Fachwissenschaft nach der Frage einer fachspezifischen Einbindung digitaler Medientechnologien in kunstgemäße Lehr- und Lernszenarien bewegt. In der kunstpädagogischen Praxis und fachwissenschaftlichen Theorie lassen sich jedoch bislang nur weitgehend punktuelle und exemplarische Ansätze dieser Bestrebungen und keine flächendeckende Einbindung in kunstpädagogische Konzepte ausmachen. Mit der vorliegenden theoretischen und empirischen Studie wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern die Kunstgemäßheit, insbesondere im Kontext der Anwendung digitaler Medientechnologien, im Wege einer Kooperation mit Künstlerpersönlichkeiten in Kombination mit außerschulischen kunstpädagogischen Lernsettings, gefördert werden und unter welchen Bedingungen der sich daraus ergebende didaktisch-methodische Dreiklang fachspezifisch-kunstgemäße kreative Denk- und Handlungsprozesse von Schüler:innen nachhaltig professionalisieren kann.

Barbara Hepworth
Renowned for her elegantly sleek sculptures in stone, wood, and bronze, Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) is among Britain's most important modern artists. This groundbreaking new publication focuses on the spaces and contexts, physical and conceptual, in which the artist is positioned. It examines her interest in staging and presenting work--indoors and out--in studio, film, garden, stage, architecture, photography, and print. As well as placing her work alongside her British and international contemporaries, a broad range of distinguished contributors also consider wider technical and intellectual concerns. Richly illustrated with more than 200 color images drawn from her entire career, the catalog represents some of Hepworth's best-known works in addition to introducing some of her less familiar pieces. The book features previously unseen documentary material, including photographs and film stills that cast new light on one of the 20th century's greatest artists.
Jeff Koons
Curated by Koons himself, together with guest curator Norman Rosenthal, this show features seventeen important works, fourteen of which have never been exhibited in the UK before. They span the artist's entire career and his most well-known series, including Equilibrium, Statuary, Banality, Antiquity and his recent Gazing Ball sculptures and paintings. This exhibition will provoke a conversation between his creations and the history of art and ideas with which his work engages. Jeff Koons burst onto the contemporary art scene in the 1980s. He has been described as the most famous, important, subversive, controversial and expensive artist in the world. From his earliest works Koons has explored the 'ready-made' and 'appropriated image', using unadulterated found objects and creating painstaking replicas of ancient sculptures and Old Master paintings which almost defy belief in their craftsmanship and precision. Throughout his career Koons has pushed at the boundaries of contemporary art practice, stretching the limits of what is possible. Exhibition: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK (07.02.-09.06.2019).

The Transported Man
A foreword by museum director and exhibition curator Marc-Olivier Wahler discusses the contemporary art exhibition The Transported Man within the framework of a teleportation magic trick described in Christopher Priest's 1995 novel The Prestige. Included is an interview between Wahler and France-based curator Christophe Kihm addressing how the brain reacts when interpreting an artwork, the language with which to approach art, and how these impact the future of museums and art exhibitions. Pairing the exhibition objectives with methods of illusion, an original essay by Christopher Priest, and a text by Francis Ponge, the book provides insight into the importance of belief and the nature of visual perception.
