In many contemporary societies we encounter iconoclasm breaking out with renewed violence. Iconoclastic actions against objects of visual material culture and testimonials of history act as dynamite in the public sphere. They are expressions of political, religious, national, and identity conflicts. Even the freedom of art is threatened by censorship and cancel culture. Based on case studies from different world regions, contemporary iconoclasms in art, media, and cultural heritage are critically analyzed from both a global and an interdisciplinary perspective. Divided into three sections, the book discusses attacks on monuments and memorials, idol disputes in museums and the visual arts, and forms of mediated iconoclasm in contemporary art.

En original sangbog til alle befolkningerne i hele EU, som kan lære hinanden bedre at kende ved at udveksle – ikke kul, stål eller fisk – men sange.The EU Songbook præsenterer et bredt spektrum af genrer og europæisk kulturhistorie fra 1400-tallet til i dag, fra folkemusik til moderne popsange. EU’s motto “forenet i forskellighed” manifesterer sig dermed på spektakulær vis i denne samling, der omfatter både internationalt elskede klassikere og lokale perler, som ikke er kendt uden for det enkelte EU-lands egne grænser.The EU Songbook omfatter 6 sange fra hvert af de 27 EU-lande samt Europahymnen og en særlig hilsen til Storbritannien – i alt 164 sange med tekst og noder. Sangene falder i 6 kategorier (love songs, nature & seasons, freedom & peace, folksongs & traditionals, faith & spirituality og children’s songs), og alle bringes med teksten på det originale sprog samt i en sangbar engelsk oversættelse. Blandt oversætterne finder man flere kendte lyrikere og singer-songwriters, og bl.a. har Suzanne Brøgger oversat Man binder os på mund og hånd.Sangene er valgt af EU’s befolkninger: Mere end hundrede musiklærerorganisationer, korforeninger og musikkonservatorier fra hele EU har nomineret et større antal sange i hvert land. Derefter har 27 folkeafstemninger, hvori næsten 100.000 EU-borgere har afgivet en halv million stemmer, kåret vinderne i hvert land.

Andersson's works embody a new genre of landscape painting that recalls late nineteenth-century romanticism while also embracing a contemporary interest in layered, psychological compositions. Her panoramic scenes draw inspiration from a wide range of archival photographic source materials, filmic imagery, theater sets, and period interiors, as well as the sparse topography of northern Sweden, where she grew up. The paintings utilize a selection of motifs from throughout her career: barren branches and thick-barked pine trees, domestic interiors, horses, and young women. Resembling still lifes, they further a tradition of quiet, dreamlike domestic scenes by Scandinavian artists such as Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) and Edvard Munch (1863-1944). Part of a self-conscious effort to capture an experience rather than a specific event, the compositions are freer and more abstract. Splendid color reproductions bring the textured brushstrokes, loose washes, and stark graphic lines to life on the page. The book also features a new essay by critically acclaimed author Karl Ove Knausgaard. The Lost Paradise is published on the occasion of an eponymous exhibition presented at David Zwirner, New York, in 2020.

A wide-ranging study of the intertwined notions of home and homeland that were central to the art and material culture of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland in the second half of the nineteenth century.The arts played a crucial role in reinforcing a shared sense of belonging amongst Nordic countries as they strove to identify and celebrate authentic local and national identities. "Home" was a central metaphor in the nation building activities of each country. The links between land, landscape, handicraft and domestic dwellings as dimensions of home are embedded in this survey which brings the extensive collection of David and Susan Werner into public view for the first time.The catalogue encompasses an impressive range of paintings, drawings, furniture, textiles, glass, metalwork, and ceramics. Highlights include rare tapestries and a wooden cabinet by Norwegian artist Gerhard Munthe, Finnish ceramics by Alfred William Finch, landscape paintings by Hilma af Klint, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Gustav Fjaestad and Pekka Halonen, and functional objects by outstanding handicraft artists covering embroidery, metalwork and wooden implements.

Lighting, whether for domestic use or for the grander areas of public or private spaces of ministerial buildings or post offices, of theatres or hotels, represents an important constituent of Murano glass production. The Venini firm distinguished itself with significant results also in this sector, particularly because of its constant ability to modernise and its characteristic openness to the world of design, aspects which made it a reference point for the foremost national and international architects. This volume, which covers a period from 1921 to 1985, illustrates the work of the glassworks in the area of lighting, on the larger or smaller scale, giving an overview of the most significant projects. More than five hundred cards, accompanied by a considerable body of hitherto mostly unpublished iconographic illustrations, document an unremitting activity made up of numerous projects of historical and cultural importance, among which those carried out in collaboration with Angiolo Mazzoni in the 1930s, the production of the velarium of Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 1951, the large installation by Carlo Scarpa for Italia 61 in Turin, the Fulda theatre in Germany in 1978 etc. A careful selection of works tells of the transformation of Venini lamps, their form and their material: from the elegant reworking of the traditional chandelier with arms to the new fixtures with modular elements, from Vittorio Zecchin to Carlo Scarpa, from Massimo Vignelli a Ludovico Diaz de Santillana. The volume, with material coming from the historic Venini archive and for the greater part unpublished previously, is also accompanied by a rich documentary apparatus made up of a substantial corpus of graphic illustrations (catalogue drawings, preparatory drawings for the Blue Catalogue and the pages of the Red Catalogue) for a total of more than four hundred images that contribute to telling the extraordinary story of the Venini company and light.

"What is the work of art? In this guided tour inside the artist's head, Adam Moss traces the evolution of transcendent novels, paintings, jokes, movies, songs, and more. Weaving conversations with some of the most accomplished artists of our time together with the journal entries, napkin doodles, and sketches that were their tools, Moss breaks down the work--the tortuous paths and artistic decisions--that led to great art. From first glimmers to second thoughts, roads not taken, crises, [and] breakthroughs--on to one triumphant finish after another"--

Schon die frühesten Formen menschlicher Kreativität - Schnitzereien, Markierungen und Höhlenmalereien - zeugen von der Auseinandersetzung der Menschen mit Farbe. Fast genauso alt wie die genannten Beispiele ist der Wunsch, das universelle Phänomen fassbar zu machen und ihm Struktur, Ordnung und Sinnhaftigkeit zu verleihen. Diese Faszination liegt allen Werken zugrunde, die in diesem Buch versammelt sind. The Book of Colour Concepts bringt mehr als 65 seltene Bücher und Manuskripte aus einer Vielzahl von Institutionen zusammen, darunter die bedeutendsten Farbensammlungen der Welt, und entführt seine Leserschaft auf eine chromatische Reise durch vier Jahrhunderte. Über 1.000 Abbildungen zeigen prachtvolle Kreise und Kugeln, vielfarbige Tabellen und ausgefeilte Diagramme, viele davon exklusiv für diese Edition neu fotografiert. Einige der Konzepte enthalten umfassende Farbtaxonomien, andere beleuchten das Verhältnis von Farbe und Musik oder die Verbindungen zwischen Farbe und menschlichen Gefühlen. Grundlegende Werke zur Farbtheorie, darunter Isaac Newtons Opticks und Johann Wolfgang von Goethes herausragende Abhandlung Zur Farbenlehre, stehen neben seltenen und ungewöhnlichen Beiträgen wie den theosophischen Farbsystemen von Charles Webster Leadbeater und Annie Besant, dem umfassenden "Wörterbuch" der Farbe von Aloys John Maerz und Morris Rea Paul oder den patchworkartigen Kombinationen des japanischen Kostümbildners und Künstlers Sanzo Wada. Die zweibändige Edition rückt zudem viele faszinierende und oft übersehene Werke von Frauen ins Rampenlicht, darunter die radikal originellen "Farbflecken" der englischen Blumenmalerin Mary Gartside und ein botanisches Notizbuch der wegweisenden Spiritistin Hilma af Klint. Einführende Essays von Herausgeberin Alexandra Loske und Co-Autorin Sarah Lowengard bringen die vorgestellten Farbsysteme in einen größeren Zusammenhang, während sachkundige Texte der Herausgeberin zu den abgebildeten Werken auf jede Theorie genauer eingehen. Indem es die Geschichte der Farbe in all ihren Formen und Ausprägungen beleuchtet, bietet The Book of Colour Concepts eine chromatische Chronologie von beispiellosem Umfang.
