Creation
A fully illustrated, panoramic world history of art from ancient civilisation to the present day, exploring the remarkable endurance of humankind's creative impulse. Some fifty thousand years ago, on an island in modern-day Indonesia, an early human used red ochre pigment to capture the likeness of a native pig on a limestone cave wall. Around the same time, across the globe in Europe, another human retrieved a lump of charcoal from an old fire and sketched four galloping horses. It was like a light turning on in the human mind. Our instinct to produce images in response to nature allowed the earliest Homo sapiens to understand the world around us, and to thrive. Now, the art historian John-...
Ephemeral Monuments
This is an indispensible volume for creators, curators, and conservators of installation art. Installation art is an evolving, often ephemeral medium that defies rigid categorization. It has also radically transformed the concepts of space, time, and the experience of art. The conservation field is faced with unique challenges over how best to manage and preserve the essence of these works. How detailed can documentation get? When does the replacement of original components become acceptable? How does the field cope with the obsolescence of certain technologies? By exploring the questions and dilemmas facing those who care for art installations, this book intends to raise awareness and promote discussion about the various conservation approaches for these works.

Joseph Beuys, Das Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts
In 1984 Joseph Beuys assembled his monumental The End of the 20th Century in Haus der Kunst in Munich: 44 basalt blocks with conical sections drilled out of them, the resulting "stoppers" slotted back into place using a bed of felt and clay. He arranged the blocks to create an animated vibrant formation that charged the entire room with meaning. The relocation of the work to the new Munich Pinakothek der Moderne set an almost impossible challenge for conservators, not least owing to the fiery debate whether an aeuvre an artist had himself laid out could be touched in the first place. But in the end, they succeeded: a key late 20th-century artwork was given a new location and none of its suggestive powers had been forfeited in the process.
Schamanismus als Herausforderung
Einmal im Jahr veranstaltet das Evangelische Tagungs- und Bildungszentrum Bad Alexandersbad in Kooperation mit dem Landeskirchlichen Beauftragten für religiöse und geistige Strömungen der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Bayern ein Symposium zu einem Thema aus der Weltanschauungsarbeit. Das Thema für das Symposium 2015 lautete „Schamanismus als Herausforderung“. Gefragt wurde: Was ist das, was hierzulande als „Schamanismus“ angeboten wird? Mit welcher Wirklichkeit haben wir Menschen es dabei zu tun? Welche Chancen und Gefahren sind zu erkennen? Wie können Pfarrerinnen und Pfarrer mit diesem Phänomen umgehen? Die in dieser Dokumentation gesammelten Beiträge stammen von Anett C. Oelschlägel, Gerhard Mayer, Bernd Rieken, Haringke Fugmann, Heiko Grünwedel und Klaus Raschzok.
