Bastard Sun
Sophio Medoidze's (b. Tbilisi, then USSR, 1978; lives and works in London) practice encompasses film, photography, writing, and sculpture and explores the poetic potential of uncertainty. Her work has been shown at Tate Modern, the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles, the Serpentine Gallery, the Close Up Film Centre, Kunstmuseum Luzern, and the Whitechapel Gallery, amongst others. For a time she worked anonymously as part of the Clara Emigrand collective, disseminating her work outside the gallery context. Medoidze explores the relationship between rural and urban, languages and translations, as well as gender politics and dynamics. Her works often emerge from writing and unfold as installation...
European Volleyball Championship Results
The first European Championship in men’s volleyball was contested in 1948 by just six teams, and the inaugural women’s tournament took place in 1949. As the sport spread in popularity throughout the continent, so did the number of teams participating. Today, the European Championship is played under the auspices of the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV), of which 55 nations are members; 16 of these 55 teams are able to play for the gold in the championships. In European Volleyball Championship Results: Since 1948, Tomasz Malolepszy charts the growth and expansion of this sport in Europe with a complete statistical history of both the men’s and women’s competition. For the first ...
Reel Women
In the last several decades, the number of films featuring female protagonists has increased significantly. Many of these films reflect the vast cultural and sociological changes that have taken place since the early 1960s, highlighting not only a wide spectrum of female characters depicted onscreen, but the creative work of women behind the camera as well. In Reel Women: An International Directory of Contemporary Feature Films about Women, media librarian Jane Sloan has assembled an impressive list of more than 2400 films—from nearly 100 countries—that feature female protagonists. Each entry includes a brief description of the film and cites key artistic personnel, particularly female d...
Cyprien Gaillard Et Andro Wekua - TT
TT is a publication documenting a collaborative public art installation by Cyprien Gaillard and Andro Wekua, installed in the Nutsubidze skybridge. The two-seater bench created from Kazbegi-sourced diabase sits in one of the alcoves along the public walkway. The publication features images of the sculpture and of Nutsubidze, along with two essays on the project by curator Marina Caron and artist and writer Salome Kokoladze. Installed in a heavily used, and architecturally distinct, public space, Gaillard and Wekua's sculpture offers a place for passersby to slow down, rest, or spend time. Specifically designed as a two-seater, the sculpture in part refers to the friendship shared by the two artists. The bench is a collaborative investigation into their shared interests in memory and place. Caron's essay begins with a description of the work and of the skybridge, going on to frame the piece through philosopher Henri Lefebvre's writing on public space. Kokoladze's essay looks at Gaillard and Wekua's work through contemporary approaches to public art that emphasize art's role in urban morphology.
These Are Situationist Times!
"'The Situationist Times' was a magazine edited and published by the Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong during the years 1962-67. In its multilingual, transdisciplinary, and cross-cultural exuberance, it became one of the most exciting and playful magazines of the 1960s. Throughout its six remarkably diverse issues, 'The Situationist Times' challenges the notion of what it means to be a situationist, as well as traditional understandings of culture in the broader sense and of how culture is created, formatted, and shared. 'These Are Situationist Times!' provides an in-depth history of the magazine while probing its contemporary relevance. The book also presents Hans Brinkman for a never realized seventh issue of 'The Situationist Times,' devoted to the game of pinball."--Page 4 of cover.

The Cinema of Russia and the Former Soviet Union
This volume explores the cinema of the former Soviet Union and contemporary Russia, ranging from the pre-Revolutionary period to the present day. It offers an insight into the development of Soviet film, from 'the most important of all arts' as a propaganda tool to a means of entertainment in the Stalin era, from the rise of its 'dissident' art-house cinema in the 1960s through the glasnost era with its broken taboos to recent Russian blockbusters. Films have been chosen to represent both the classics of Russian and Soviet cinema as well as those films that had a more localised success and remain to date part of Russia's cultural reference system. The volume also covers a range of national film industries of the former Soviet Union in chapters on the greatest films and directors of Ukrainian, Kazakh, Georgian and Armenian cinematography. Films discussed include Strike (1925), Earth (1930), Ivan's Childhood (1962), Mother and Son (1997) and Brother (1997).
