Steidl Book Culture steht für moderne Fotografie- und visuelle Bücher und für die (Handwerks)künste, die diese Bücher auszeichnen: Gestaltung, Typographie, Druck und Bindung. Das Book of Books begleitet die bisher größte Steidl-Ausstellung Magic on Paper. Steidl Book Culture bei Ground Seesaw Seochon in Seoul, Südkorea. Als Drucker und Verleger verfolgt Steidl eine einzigartige Philosophie, bei der alle Produktionsschritte des Büchermachens unter einem Dach vereint sind, und bei denen die Künstlerinnen und Künstler auf fast familiäre Weise mit eingebunden sind. Jedes Steidl-Buch zeichnet sich durch individuelles Design und Material aus und verfolgt nur ein Ziel: Die künstlerische Vision in einem langlebigen Buch-Multiple zu verwirklichen. Die Ausstellung Magic on Paper. Steidl Book Culture präsentiert physische Buchobjekte , sowie fotografische Abzüge, Poster, Filme und Materialien der Buchherstellung wie Papier, Leinen und Lesezeichen und gestattet so nicht nur einen spannenden Einblick in die Entstehung von Steidl-Büchern sondern gibt auch Antwort auf Fragen wie zum Beispiel: Was ist ein Kapitalband? Was ein Tipped-In-Photo? Wie broschiert man verlässlich ein Buch von über 900 Seiten Umfang? Das und vieles mehr über die Magie analoger Bücher wartet in diesem Handbuch nur darauf, entdeckt zu werden.
From Rousseau to Richter, from Brancusi to Bourgeois, from Monet to Miró -this volume presents twenty-five inspiring highlights that have transformed art in innovative ways. These works were selected from the more than 400 works held in the collection of the Fondation Beyeler. Whether it is found in the radical light reflected in Monet's water lily pond or in Warhol's Flowers, whether it is found in Mondrian's abstract grids or Rothko'sexpressively luminous color fields, these twenty-five works attest to a visionary power reaching far beyond their present times. Such works are emblematic of the collection of modern art that has been carefully assembled by gallery owners Ernst and Hildy Beyeler and of the museum, which has become one of the most popular and successful venues in Europe since it was founded in 1997.
In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten ist Drag im Mainstream angekommen, was nicht zuletzt daran liegt, dass Drag fotogen ist. Aber was macht ein gutes Porträt einer Drag-Queen aus? Es ist leicht, sich in all dem Glanz und Glamour zu verlieren, ohne das Wesen und die Vielfalt dieser Künstler:innen zu erfassen. Ein gutes Porträt, wie Martin Schoellers Drag Queens zeigt, fängt viel mehr ein als den bestimmten Look einer Person, sondern bietet einen Einblick in die Innenwelt, die Emotionen, die Motivationen und die Fantasie der Porträtierten. Drag ist viel mehr als theatralisches Cross-Dressing, es geht um eine lebendige Inszenierung, die eine Version des Selbst offenbart, die sonst vielleicht unbemerkt bliebe. In Schoellers Bildern wird Drag zu einer Form des dynamischen Porträts, das alle möglichen Ideen davon ausdrückt, wer wir uns vorstellen zu sein, und uns erlaubt, diese Geschichten zu leben und zu teilen - und sei es nur für eine Nacht.
Explains how, against the odds, pioneering start-ups have taken on established firms and revolutionised global commerce--with huge implications for the future of business.
When President George H.W. Bush and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev convened in Malta in December 1989, superpower contestation gave way to a new era of US unipolarity. In Africa, the Cold War had already ended. The Soviet Union had abandoned its Marxist-Leninist client states, and Cuban forces were leaving Angola. Yet, just five years later, Washington's hegemonic aspirations in Africa seemed quixotic at best and delusional at worst. US military defeat in Somalia and the 1994 Rwandan Genocide both highlighted the absence of American grand strategy. Over the next quarter-century, the US ceded its economic primacy in Africa to China and was relegated to a spectator role in key security crises. Could the US have forestalled the continent's embrace of multipolarity through consistent engagement and a firm break from Cold War thinking? And is the crumbling of US power there reversible? Rudderless Superpower addresses these questions through a meticulous chronological examination of US policy in Africa since the 1990s. In a break from traditional accounts revolving around crisis moments and leadership at the White House, Ramani contends that the perpetuation of Cold War-era mistakes and diplomatic failures placed US influence in Africa on a path of inexorable decline.
