Rewriting Conceptual Art
"An international movement that developed along separate but parallel lines in Europe and America during the 1970s, Conceptual Art grew out of the legacy of Marcel Duchamp. Aiming to completely redefine the relationships between the production, definition and ownership of artworks and their various audiences, Conceptual artists rejected traditional formats, media and definitions. Instead they chose to address some of the key issues underlying modern life and art. Thse included the gulf between initial idea and finished work, the value assigned works of art in modern economies, the role of women and of feminine creativity in general, the politics of exhibition organization - in short, the ways art and the art world have been defined for centuries. Among the notable figures whose work is discussed in essays ranging from the evaluative to the theoretical are Judy Chicago, Robert Morris, Sol LeWitt, Marcel Broodthaers and Mary Kelly. The influence of Conceptual Art continues to be felt today in the work of such controversial young artists as Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst." - back cover.

Sculpture Undone, 1955-1972
"A sculptor who began working during the postwar period in a classical figurative style, Alina Szapocznikow radically reconceptualized sculpture as an imprint not only of memory but also of her own body. Though her career effectively spanned less than two decades (cut short by the artist's premature death in 1973 at age 47), Szapocznikow left behind a legacy of provocative objects that evoke Surrealism, Nouveau Râealisme, and Pop art. Her tinted polyester casts of body parts, often transformed into everyday objects like lamps or ashtrays; her poured polyurethane forms; and her elaborately constructed sculptures, which at times incorporated photographs, clothing, or car parts, all remain as ...
Grading
Familiarity with ground modeling is an indispensable prerequisite for landscape architects; they have to use contour lines in their designs, quickly develop alternatives, and check alternative options regarding design, ecology, economy, and technical feasibility. The third edition contains essential updated information on BIM construction in landscape architecture, 3D machine control, and BIM in practice. Furthermore, the book provides in-depth information on forms of terrain, scales, interpolation, geodetic points, contour lines, how to calculate the volume of land mass, and includes subjects such as slope stabilization systems and ground modeling on the building site. Included is also the ground modeling of roads and parking lots, and a revised section on stormwater management. Numerous practical examples are included in the task section to help apply the theory.
Die Kunst der Stunde
Polnische Gegenwartskunst wurde in den späten 1950er und 1960er Jahren zu einer festen Größe im westdeutschen Ausstellungsbetrieb. Faszination für die Tauwetter-Kultur in Polen, politische Motive, aber auch eine allgemeine Internationalisierung der Kunstwelt trugen dazu bei. Lange vor der Aufnahme diplomatischer Beziehungen entstanden dabei Netzwerke über den Eisernen Vorhang hinweg, an denen unterschiedliche Akteure aus Kultur, Wirtschaft, Politik und Zivilgesellschaft beteiligt waren. Auf der Grundlage umfassender Quellenrecherchen rekonstruiert und analysiert die Autorin Hintergründe, Entstehung und Rezeption der Ausstellungen und ordnet sie in den zeithistorischen Kontext ein. Die Verflechtungen von Kultur und Politik werden dabei ebenso deutlich wie die Eigendynamik der Ausstellungskooperationen. Eines der interessantesten, aber weitgehend vergessenen Kapitel der polnisch-westdeutschen Beziehungsgeschichte wird damit erstmals erschlossen.
