Unfold This Moment explores the work of Carol Bove, one of the most inventive and protean artists of her generation, whose practice has expanded―via numerous stylistic evolutions over two decades―from ethereal drawings of Playboy models to towering crushed-metal sculptures. Considering both her art and her life, this book offers a linear history of a figure who doesn't believe in linear time―her work evokes multiple temporalities simultaneously―and who harbors covertly radical ambitions for what art might do to the viewer's mind and body―not least how, without slipping into esotericism, it might serve as a gateway to meditative states. The text refocuses Bove's artistic output into a prism for wider questions of artistic conduct and inspiration: reacting resourcefully to unhelpful frameworks of reception; maintaining curiosity while performing the increasingly professionalized role of being a successful artist; realizing the value of instinct and the unconscious in creativity; being open to magical coincidences; and acknowledging the overlap between the intellectual territory of contemporary art and some of the oldest spiritual philosophies.

The approach here is systemic and family-orientated. A book of much value by one of the world's leading clinical child psychologists.

Essays on artists who have withdrawn from the art world or have adopted an openly antagonistic position against it. This collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. A large part of the artist's role in today's professionalized art system is being present. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Essays on Lutz Bacher, Stanley Brouwn, Christopher D'Arcangelo, Trisha Donnelly, David Hammons, Agnes Martin, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Charlotte Posenenske, and Albert York.

Fantazja wybitnego kuratora z Centre Pompidouo radykalnym przewartościowaniu artystycznego słownika. Historia malarstwa, które rozbija mury i podziały. Michel Gauthier przygląda się twórczości legendy polskiej abstrakcji – Stefana Gierowskiego– i zadaje proste, lecz znaczące pytanie: „co byłoby, gdyby przywrócić jego malarstwo światu?” Tym samym, tworzy malarską kontrnarrację, historię, która czekała na opowiedzenie, wizualną podróż po oddzielonych kurtyną dwóch stronach Europy, które w okresie społecznego i artystycznego wrzenia II połowy XX wieku tak świetnie się rozumiały.

Setzt man seinen heranwachsenden Kindern Grenzen, gilt man als autoritär; läßt man sie gewähren, erntet man den Vorwurf, permissiv oder gar lieblos zu sein. Wie soll man führen, wenn jede Führung abgelehnt wird? Worüber soll man sprechen, wenn alle Fragen und alle Bemerkungen als Einmischung betrachtet werden?

Žádný ze všech dosavadních ročníků mistrovství světa vozů formule 1 nevyvolal mezi fanoušky a příznivci královské disciplíny motoristického sportu tolik emocí a vášní jako ten v roce 2007, kdy se bojovalo nejen na trati, ale především v zákulisí. Největší pozornost k sobě poutal případ dvou nejsilnějších týmů – stájí McLaren a Ferrari. Špionážní aféra, nazvaná Stepneygate podle jména jednoho z hříšníků celé události, nakonec vyvrcholila nejvyšší pokutou v dějinách sportu vůbec. V knize Klub piraň stojící na pomezí fikce a skutečnosti vychází autor z událostí, které tehdy otřásaly celou formulí 1, a domýšlí, co vše se asi muselo dít v zákulisí… titul podpoří společnost Walker&Lambert velkou kampaní, v jednání je i spotřebitelská soutěž o zájezd do zákulisí F1.
