Performing Arts Collections in the Nordic Countries

Tuttujen kesken Vesku
Viihteen ja kulttuurin legendan elämäkerrassa kuuluu taiteilijan oma ääni. Suomalaisten rakastaman tähden syvällinen elämäkerta antaa paljon tilaa Veskun itse kertomille muistoille ja tarinoille. Tietokirjailija Tuomas Marjamäki haastatteli Veskua kahdenkymmenen vuoden aikana erilaisissa elämäntilanteissa ja eri aihepiireistä keskustellen. Kymmenistä haastatteluista ja laajasta lähdemateriaalista syntyi tähden elämää ja taidetta kattavasti käsittelevä elämäkerta, joka antaa Veskusta uudenlaisen kuvan. Kirja arvostaa ja ymmärtää ihmistä ja taiteilijaa, mutta ei aseta häntä jumalan asemaan. Tuttujen kesken Vesku täydentää Marjamäen Spede-Vesku-Simo-trilogian, johon kuuluvat myös aiemmin julkaistut teokset Simo Salminen – se se vaan on sillä lailla ja Spede, nimittäin. Tuomas Marjamäki (s. 1978) on tietokirjailijana erikoistunut suomalaisen viihteen historiaan. Hän on kirjoittanut aiemmin muun muassa Simo Salmisen, Spede Pasasen ja Mikko Alatalon elämäkerrat sekä tietokirjat Kummeli – erittäin hyvin sanottu ja Uuno on numero yksi.
Children in Opera
This book provides a musicological investigation into operas that include children. Just over 100 works have been selected here for an in-depth discussion of the composer, the children, and the productions, and around 250 relevant works from around the world are also referenced. Four composers to have most significantly proliferated the medium are discussed in even greater detail: César Cui, Benjamin Britten, Gian Carlo Menotti, and Peter Maxwell Davies. Since opera began, it has been inextricably linked to society, by reflecting and shaping our culture through music and narrative, and, as a result, children have been involved. Despite the contribution they played, for several centuries, th...
Avantgarde Suomessa
Avant-garde in Finland is the first book to provide an overarching introduction to avant-garde art by Finnish artists. The articles in the book discuss the application and development of the cultural ideas of the avant-garde in Finnish art from the early 20th century till the present day. The book focusses on the social, political, and artistic characteristics of avant-garde art and their manifestation in Finnish avant-garde literature, visual arts, architecture, fashion, and music. The book shows the remarkable role of women artists in the development of the Finnish avant-garde. Many artists and groups are presented in the book for the first time. At the same time, the articles highlight connections between well-known Finnish artists and international avant-garde movements that have not been recognized in earlier research. A key theme of the book is the tension between the internationality of avant-garde and the nationalist elements of Finnish culture. The book is peer-reviewed, and its authors are eminent senior scholars and younger researchers.
