Sensations
The history of European landscape design has its beginnings in the early cultures of the Mediterranean. Again and again, especially during the Renaissance, ancient parks and gardens have been imitated as archetypes. The park is still a site of design activity today: human beings use living material to create an artificial landscape, a paradise. This book not only recounts the history of the garden--it conjures it up before the reader's eyes, from the Garden of Eden and the Hanging Gardens of Nebuchadnezzar to the first book on botany and the gardens of the Renaissance, from the invention of the lawnmower to the land art movement in the United States, Hängende Gärten II (Hanging Gardens II) at the Hanover Expo by the Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, and the Gazebo-Berg (Gazebo Mountain) of the Swiss artist couple Studer/van den Berg at the 2005 world's fair in Japan. Every single "station" of this journey through gardens and time is illustrated by an entire double page, with pointedly written texts and an abundance of historical and contemporary images.
Second Chance
In this intimate memoir, Ruth Rosengarten explores the subject of evocative objects through a series of interconnected essays. Evocative objects reflect our attitudes to our own lives and how we seek to display ourselves to ourselves. They are therefore, closely linked to our memories, and how we filter, process and reconstruct them. Rosengarten explores the themes and associations invoked by her own evocative objects, which are frequently shabby things of no material value. They are, importantly, often objects that, in their materiality, bear traces of actions, of something-having-been. Through the associative pathways that these objects have paved, she discusses her experiences with the lo...
Holding the Camera
”How one tilts the camera, holds it with both hands in front of the waist. How one looks through the viewfinder, gazes one-eyed into the world. How one hides it in stockings, behind the back, and how one lets it peep out from behind the corner of a building, as though it were a detective. Holding the Camera shows a pictorial genre from the now extinct era of analogue photography. Like the dinosaurs, supposedly the victims of a violent meteorite bombardement, also these images that were once distributed a million times over in instructions and advertisements, have been erased, deleted.“ Nadine Olonetzky (Verlagshomepage).

How does teaching function in the art world? How does training, like curation, serve as an intermediate space, a temporary, constructive field of conflict? And what does it mean for students and qualified artists? The Kunsthalle Zurich and the HGKZ school of art in Zurich explore these and other questions of pedagogy.
Das Porträt
Menschen faszinieren und bieten Identifikation. Sie verwandeln trockene Nachrichten und Berichte in farbige, authentische Geschichten – die sich gut verkaufen bzw. Quote bringen. Porträts können aber ebenso gut Emotionen anheizen, gesellschaftliche Realitäten ausblenden, pauschalieren, banalisieren oder Menschen instrumentalisieren. Das Buch führt systematisch und anhand vieler Beispiele in das Schreiben von Porträts ein. Dabei werden auch die Spezifika in den unterschiedlichen Medien Print, Hörfunk, Fernsehen und Internet berücksichtigt. Darüber hinaus will es zur ethischen Diskussion und zur Selbstreflexion anregen. Es will Mut machen zu einer der spannendsten, aber auch schwierigsten Darstellungsformen des Journalismus. In der zweiten überarbeiteten und erweiterten Auflage sind die Themen Porträtfotografie und multimediale Porträts neu hinzugekommen. Der Anhang enthält herausragende Beispiele als Faksimiles.

Das unsichtbare Bild
Im Bilderverbot geht es um die Grundfrage: Wer ist Gott? Die Reformierten geben dem zweiten Gebot einen eigenen Rang: Es ist die dringliche Empfehlung, Gott in seiner Unsichtbarkeit zu belassen. Sie ist ihm wesenhaft. Dass wir in unserem Reden uber Gott nicht ohne Bilder auskommen, ist das Paradox des Bilderverbots. Auch unsichtbare Bilder des Unsichtbaren sind ihrerseits Bilder. Ahnlich gilt dies fur die bilderlosen reformierten Kirchen. Ihnen kommt ebenfalls eine Bildqualitat zu. Der vorliegende Katalog - er ist auch ein Werkbuch fur die Weiterarbeit in der Erwachsenenbildung - dokumentiert die Arbeiten anerkannter Kunstlerinnen und Kunstler aus vier Sparten in vier Kirchen: Das Projekt fr...
