For readers who are interested in Cuban urban art that has gained strength in the last ten years, this book will be useful and attractive, not only because of its structure of being told in the voice of one of its protagonists Yojany Pérez Rivera, who was four years in a row surf champion and also winner of several skateboarding competitions, but for the approach to different parts of the country's cultural life, other artistic expressions such as tattoos and the work of different national and international graffiti artists who have gone to paint in the streets of Havana. All these associations have been captured by Yojany's camera, who after studying at the University of the Arts, turned a hobby into a profession, into a work that has been exhibited inside and outside of Cuba in various exhibitions. This book testifies to the emergence and development of an urban culture within the island and of a Goon Vibes team that has become a great family and has been a bridge to fight for the legitimacy of the Cuban urban movement within and outside the borders of the Greater of the Antilles.

Transcultural Theater outlines the idea of a transcultural theater as enabling an approximation to and an interaction with the foreign and the alien. This book is for scholars and students as well as for all those working in the cultural field, especially in the field of cultural transfer.

"...the panorama of a self-forgotten milieu."  - Monopol "Toffs behaving badly: 1980s high society in photos." - The Times "The pictorial equivalents of Evelyn Waugh's sentences." - The New Yorker "Modest though he is, Dafydd's photographs will endure for having perfectly captured a society on the brink of decline. Unmissable listening." - Country & Townhouse podcast "Wonderfully ironic, every point in the picture ignites and knows how to entertain very well." - Lovely Books "I wondered if the party guests I'd photographed were just re-enacting a nostalgic fantasy, an imaginary version¿of England¿that already no longer existed." - Dafydd JonesThroughout the 1980s, award-winning photographer Dafydd Jones was granted access to some of England's most exclusive upper-class events. Now, the author of Oxford: The Last Hurrah presents this irreverent and intimate portrait of birthday parties and charity balls, Eton picnics and private school celebrations.With the crack of a hunting rifle and a spray of champagne, these photos give an almost cinematic account of high-society England at its most riotous and its most vulnerable. Against the backdrop of Thatcher's Britain, globalisation, the Falklands War, rising stocks and dwindling inherited fortunes, Jones reveals the inner lives of the established elite as they party long into the night-time of their fading world.Praise for Oxford: The Last Hurrah 'Sublime vintage photographs...' - Hermione Eyre, The Telegraph 'In The Last Hurrah...we see familiar faces from British high society poised on the brink of adulthood.' - Eve Watling, Independent

Present on the international contemporary art scene since the early 1980's, Clegg & Guttmann take up a visual rhetoric reminiscent of the bourgeois portraits of the Dutch Golden Age, while at the same time referencing the group images that crystallize the powers of the 20th and 21st centuries. They use the conventions of 17th century Dutch portraiture to place them in a contemporary context. Clegg & Guttmann's portraits, presented in this volume, are rejected commissions which involve a very particular protocol in the Clegg & Guttmann method. Thus, the subjects have commissioned a portrait from the artists, but are free to refuse the result. However, the artists retain the right to show and publish the work, which remains their property, even after the commissioner has refused it. This reverse tactic is also symbolic of the power issues in the particular category of portraiture.MICHAEL CLEGG (*1957, Dublin) and YAIR MARTIN GUTTMANN (*1957, Jerusalem) have been working together as the artist duo Clegg & Guttmann since 1980. The focus of their joint work is on installations and photographic projects. In addition, both artists are also active as university teachers: Clegg is a professor at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and Guttmann is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

FUTURE ist eine Serie von 5-6 Publikationen des Künstlerduos Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs, die im Laufe der nächsten Jahre bei der Edition Patrick Frey erschei-nen werden. Die verschiedenen Kapitel des Projekts werden laufend publiziert, ohne dass ein genauer Inhalts- oder Zeitplan feststeht. Es ist Teil des Konzeptes, dass relativ schnell publiziert wird und so auch auf direkte Geschehnisse oder Befindlichkeiten reagiert werden kann. Nach der Beschäftigung mit Zukunft und Erinnerung dreht sich die zweite Publikation der FUTURE-Serie um einen Ort, ein Reich, das uns direkt umgibt und für die meisten Menschen doch so fern und fremdartig ist, wie es sonst nur die Weiten des Alls sein könnten: die Welt unter der Wasseroberfläche. Erst durch den Einsatz von aufwendiger Technologie sind wir in der Lage, tiefer in diese Dimension vorzusto-ssen und sie zu erkunden. Mit der Exploration kommt direkt auch die Exploitation, und es besteht die Möglich-keit, dass diese Welt zerstört wird, bevor wir sie auch nur im Ansatz verstehen oder überhaupt zu sehen bekommen. Die Tiefsee ist ein gigantisches Projektionsgebiet, das schon seit jeher unsere Imagination anregt, weil in ihr alles möglich scheint. Es gelten andere Gesetze, andere Regeln, und auch deutet immer mehr darauf hin, dass wir dort unseren Ursprung - und in Form von Sedimenten wohl auch unser Ende - finden werden. Mit verschiedensten fotografischen Mitteln und Erfindungen erkunden Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs diese Welt und entwerfen Szenarien, in denen sich Forschung und Fiktion untrennbar miteinander vermi-schen.
