The exhibition catalogue is a beautiful full colour publication that accompanied "Suspend Disbelief", Stuart Semple's 2013 solo exhibition in London that was an immersive experience held over two floor of Victoria House in Bloomsbury. Ingeniously designed, the 77 page bound book is assembled in a red custom acrylic slip case that includes numerous inserts that feature the essay "I Just Can't Help Believing" by Clare Hazelton and photography by Nadia Amura. The collection of work from "Suspend Disbelief" by Stuart Semple toy with the notion of pausing disbelief in obvious fictions within entertainment in exchange for pleasure. However it comes at a cost. By turning our backs on the truth of the situation we allow ourselves to be duped into the rejection of essential realities. "Suspension of disbelief doesn't stop at entertainment. It extends to our whole lives, especially in the West. I think we've suspended disbelief in the fact that we're all dying. That's universal. We're all mortal, but it's not a bad thing. Only by acknowledging the inevitability of death are we able to truly live."
What place do images hold among other kinds of historical evidence? In Eyewitnessing, Peter Burke reviews graphics, photographs, films, and other media from many countries and periods and examines their pragmatic uses.

The author describes and evaluates the methods by which art historians have traditionally analyzed images, and fin...
Die vorliegende Studie fragt nach der Relevanz ,mittelalterlicher‘ Sujets in der Oper der frühen Neuzeit und versucht mithin den Beitrag des Genres, das sich mit Blick auf seine humanistisch-renaissancezeitlichen Wurzeln gemeinhin eher als Sachwalter und Vermittler antiker (Stoff-)Traditionen darstellt, für eine Rezeption des ,Mittelalters‘ als einer historischen Periode an der Wende vom 17. zum 18. Jahrhundert zu bestimmen. Ihren Ausgangspunkt nimmt die interdisziplinär angelegte Untersuchung von einer ausgreifenden heuristischen Erschließung entsprechender Stoffe und Werke an 15 bedeutenden Opernzentren im Reich, in Italien, Frankreich und England. Ein signifikantes Resultat dieser...
