Everyday Life in the German Book Trade
In his popular book The Germans (1982), Stanford historian Gordon Craig remarked: "When German intellectuals at the end of the eighteenth century talked of living in a Frederican age, they were sometimes referring not to the monarch in Sans Souci, but to his namesake, the Berlin bookseller Friedrich Nicolai." Such was the importance attributed to Nicolai’s role in the intellectual life of his age by his own contemporaries. While long neglected by students of the period, who tended to accept the caricature of him as a philistine who failed to recognize Goethe’s genius, Nicolai has experienced a resurgence of interest among scholars reexploring the German Enlightenment and the literary marketplace of the eighteenth century. This book, drawing upon Nicolai’s large unpublished correspondence, rounds out the picture we have of Nicolai already as author and critic by focusing on his roles as bookseller and publisher and as an Aufkärer in the book trade.

Carsten Nicolai
Unter den ernst zu nehmenden Grenzgängern zwischen Kunst, Musik, Technik und Natur ist er längst zum Impulsgeber geworden. Nicolais Bilder und Objekte sind elegant, schön, schlicht, kühl. In Objekten und Versuchsanordnungen lotet er die menschlichen Sinne aus, animiert Flüssigkeiten mit Tonsignalen oder testet den Sehsinn mit Lichtanordnungen. Mittels Kunst macht der Künstler Dinge sichtbar,die in der Wissenschaft längst ihre Anschaulichkeit verloren haben.Nicolai zeigt hier seine wichtigsten Arbeiten sowie Installationen, die er eigens für die Ausstellung in der Schirn Kunsthalle konzipiert hat. Dieses Buch ermöglicht erstmals einen umfassenden Einblick in seine Arbeit. Schirn Kunsthallt Frankfurt, 20.01.2004 bis 28.03.2004
Carsten Nicolai
Berlin-based artist and musician Carsten Nicolai, born in 1965, is one of very few contemporary artists who convincingly work in the conflict zone between art, science and sound. Equally respected in the art world and the electronic music community, his works lay open the functional principles of codification, self-organization and perception so that the hand of the artist recedes and the classical notion of an oeuvre is put into question. Drawing on sounds available in our everyday environment, Nicolai creates soundscapes and installations redolent with clicks and blips from telephones, faxes and other technological detritus: he creates an elementary, universal language that eludes rationality, requesting instead to simply be perceived by the individual. This survey spans from Nicolai's well-known 1997 Documenta X project, "Infinity"--in which 72 short audio works were discretely embedded throughout Kassel's public spaces--to new pieces produced for a recent solo exhibition at Zurich's Haus Konstruktiv.
Carsten Nicolai
Carsten Nicolai's stimulating audio-visual art challenges our perception and worldview. This book explores the work of the internationally renowned German artist. Art is freedom. Everything is possible. Carsten Nicolai creates his work according to the strict application of his very own rules--and has established an impressively clear artistic perspective. Parallel Lines Cross at Infinity showcases Nicolai's fascinating artwork from the past ten years, which explores the boundaries and intersections between art, nature, and science. Carsten Nicolai uses patterns, series, codes, grids, mathematical equations, televisions, computers, neon tubes, and other devices. He visualizes phenomena that ...
Free Fall
Free Fall tells the brutal engrossing story of the Second Chechen War, through the eyes of a young Russian Soldier. Nicolai Lilin was trained as a sniper in an unorthodox Russian Special Forces regiment called the Saboteurs. This hardened and close-knit band of brothers, operating beyond the control of military code, faced mercenary fighters, anti-personnel mines and torture of the most extreme kind. Free Fall offers a sniper's-eye view of one of the most controversial wars in living memory. It is unflinching, unforgiving and unputdownable.
