A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1950-1975 is the first publication to deal with the postwar avant-garde in the Nordic countries. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, architecture and design, film, radio, television and the performative arts. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective that includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field but in a broader cultural and political context: The cultural politics, institutions and new cultural geographies after World War II, new technologies and media, performative strategies, interventions into everyday life and tensions between market and counterculture.
Denne store monografi om billedkunstneren Gunnar Aagaard Andersen belyser og perspektiverer hans banebrydende indsats i krydsfeltet mellem kunst og design. Aagaard Andersen eksperimenterede gennem hele sit liv ? ikke bare med billedkunsten, men også med arkitektur, grafisk design, møbelproduktion og tekstildesign. Han slog igennem internationalt i 1967, da hans opsigtsvækkende polyurethanstol blev en del af samlingen på Museum of Modern Art i New York. Den eksperimentelle tilgang til alt, hvad han beskæftigede sig med, var omdrejningspunktet for hans kreative praksis. 00Forfatteren er seniorforsker Vibeke Petersen Gether, som gennem en årrække har forsket i Gunnar Aagaard Andersen. Tidligere har hun blandt andet været overinspektør på Statens Museum for Kunst og afdelingsdirektør på Nasjonalmuseet for kunst, arkitektur og design i Oslo.

11th biennale of Sydney: everyday.
This book focuses on the popular fiction of Weimar Germany and explores the relationship between women, the texts they read, and the society in which they lived. A complex picture emerges that shows women talking center stage, not only in the fiction but also in the reality that shaped its fictional representations. One of the author's significant conclusions is that it was the growing strength of female subjectivity, its strong positioning, and its insistent claim to visibility that occupied the imaginations and fears of Weimar culture and contributed in an important way to the crisis that afflicted the Weimar Republic.
Niels Viggo Bentzon (1919-2000) var en ener. Han blev uddannet som klassisk pianist i 1941 og komponerede sidenhen sine egne værker. Endda i stor stil. I sine mest produktive perioder skrev han 15-20 af slagsen om året. Han var heller ikke ræd for at kaste sig ud i nye genrer eller eksperimenter. Bentzons værkliste rummer alt fra klavermusik, kammermusik, operaer, symfonier til happenings, hvor han smed kålhoveder i hovedet på publikum eller delte chokolade ud. I Bentzon tegner Toke Lund Christiansen for første gang et mangefacetteret billede af den farverige og fandenivoldske Bentzon. Gennem sit virke som solofløjtenist i DR SymfoniOrkestret var Lund Christiansen med til at opføre ...
