Bavid Dowie
- A testimony to an exceptional friendship between artists - Numerous works of art published here for the very first time - Exhibition - Kunsthaus Stade - 19 May-23 September 2018 Owing to their achievements as radical and unique innovators of the painting tradition, Jonathan Meese (* 1970 in Tokyo), Daniel Richter (* 1962 in Eutin, Germany), and Tal R (* 1967 in Tel Aviv) have won international recognition over the last decades. In their work, the three artists refer to established ways of seeing, while at the same time distorting, expanding, or challenging them. The humorous aspect of their art always opens the door for contemporary topics, ranging from politics, society, and self-presenta...
Ancient Scandinavia
Although occupied only relatively briefly in the long span of world prehistory, Scandinavia is an extraordinary laboratory for investigating past human societies. The area was essentially unoccupied until the end of the last Ice Age when the melting of huge ice sheets left behind a fresh, barren land surface, which was eventually covered by flora and fauna. The first humans did not arrive until sometime after 13,500 BCE. The prehistoric remains of human activity in Scandinavia - much of it remarkably preserved in its bogs, lakes, and fjords - have given archaeologists a richly detailed portrait of the evolution of human society. In this book, Doug Price provides an archaeological history of ...
Thorsten Brinkmann

Jacoba Van Heemskerck
An overview of the visionary Dutch expressionist's luminous artwork. In less than two decades, Jacoba van Heemskerck (1876-1923) created a powerful oeuvre comprising paintings, woodcuts, glass works, and mosaics. Her expressive subjects, including landscapes, townscapes, and harbor scenes, are characterized by luminosity and transparency, by rhythmic compositions of the pictorial space, black contours, and an intensive use of color. After her artistic beginnings in the circle around Mondrian, Jacoba van Heemskerck joined the center of the avant-garde movement emanating from the "Sturm" of Herwarth Walden in Berlin--the gallerist and publisher who made artists like Marc, Kandinsky, and Jawlensky famous. Her creative work resonates with environmental movements today thanks to her understanding of nature and the cosmos as an interconnected whole.

„Germanistenscheiß“
Wolfgang Herrndorfs (1965–2013) Werke gehören zum Kanon deutscher Gegenwartsliteratur. Der Jugendroman „Tschick“ ist ein Klassiker seines Genres, der Sterbe-Blog „Arbeit und Struktur“ ist zum Referenzwerk medizinethischer Debatten sowie der literarischen Auseinandersetzung mit Krankheit und Tod avanciert. Die ungebrochene Begeisterung für diese Bestseller verdeckt jedoch mitunter die künstlerische Komplexität des Autors und seiner Verfahren. In diesem Band stehen daher vor allem die Schreibweisen Herrndorfs, seine spezifische Komik, sein Spiel mit Intermedialität und Gattungskonventionen sowie Fragen narrativer Ethik im Mittelpunkt. Der Autor wird aber auch als unermüdlicher ...
Women Artists in Expressionism
A beautifully illustrated examination of the women artists whose inspired search for artistic integrity and equality influenced Expressionist avant-garde culture Women Artists in Expressionism explores how women negotiated the competitive world of modern art during the late Wilhelmine and early Weimar periods in Germany. Their stories challenge predominantly male-oriented narratives of Expressionism and shed light on the divergent artistic responses of women to the dramatic events of the early twentieth century. Shulamith Behr shows how the posthumous critical reception of Paula Modersohn-Becker cast her as a prime agent of the feminization of the movement, and how Käthe Kollwitz used print...

3,000 Years of War and Peace in the Maya Lowlands
3,000 Years of War and Peace in the Maya Lowlands presents the cutting-edge research of 25 authors in the fields of archaeology, biological anthropology, art history, ethnohistory, and epigraphy. Together, they explore issues central to ancient Maya identity, political history, and warfare. The Maya lowlands of Guatemala, Belize, and southeast Mexico have witnessed human occupation for at least 11,000 years, and settled life reliant on agriculture began some 3,100 years ago. From the earliest times, Maya communities expressed their shifting identities through pottery, architecture, stone tools, and other items of material culture. Although it is tempting to think of the Maya as a single unif...
