Testi di Luciano Benetton, Peter Noever, Markus Mittringer.Testo Italiano, Inglese e Tedesco.Treviso, 2014; cartonato, pp. 384, 654 ill. b/n col., cm 21x20.(Imago Mundi. Luciano Benetton Collection). Archistar internazionali, celebri designer, artisti affermati in tutto il mondo ma anche giovani emergenti che vivono e lavorano a Vienna o che a questa città, cuore dell'Europa oggi come nei secoli passati, hanno lasciato un loro contributo. Sono i protagonisti di questa nuova collezione di Imago Mundi che rende omaggio alla centralità culturale di Vienna, spazio espositivo d'eccezione, in nome di una simultaneità creativa dell'arte, dell'architettura, del design. Le 161 opere qui raccolte ci comunicano, ciascuno a suo modo, che al di là dell'ossessione economicistica dei nostri giorni resiste una geografia culturale che può renderci più felici, perché la vivacità delle idee rende le vite, singole e collettive, più ricche, feconde e degne di essere vissute.

Times are changing and so are families. Today’s modern family is facing challenges that rarely, if ever, crossed our minds just a few years ago. Most families today are long on commitment and short on time. They are being pulled in many directions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to connect relationally. Smart phones, mobile technology, work-life balance, relentless hurry and stress seem to be woven into the fabric of their lives. In this much-needed new book, Craig Jutila gives sound and practical advice—drawn from biblical principles, personal family experience, and expertise as a Children’s Ministry leader—on how to raise a strong and healthy family in a modern world, and move from a family that simply survives to a family that really thrives.

Die Ausstellung 'Blumen für Kim Il Sung' präsentiert erstmals zeitgenössische Kunst aus der Demokratischen Volksrepublik Korea in Europa. Das MAK in Wien zeigt in Kooperation mit der Korean Art Gallery und der Paektusan Academy of Architecture Werke wie Ölbilder, Tuschemalereien, Aquarelle, Plakate und Architekturproduktionen, die zuvor nie das Land verlassen hatten. Der Katalog bietet mit zahlreichen farbigen Bildtafeln einen tiefen Einblick in diese fremde Bildwelt, die stark von der Verehrung des 1994 verstorbenen 'Ewigen Präsidenten' Kim Il Sung und seinem Sohn Kim Jong Il geprägt ist. Die Juche-Ideologie, eine spezifische Interpretation des Sozialismus, spielt eine zentrale Rolle. Kim Il Sung passte die traditionelle Marxismus-Leninismus-Lehre an die koreanische Situation an, was zu einer Auslegung des Historischen Materialismus als Voluntarismus führte und die Eigenständigkeit in ideologischen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen und militärischen Aspekten betont. In der Ausstellung begegnen wir einem Kulturbetrieb, in dem Kunst eine soziale Funktion hat und dem revolutionären Prozess untergeordnet ist. Künstler haben die Aufgabe, die richtige Einstellung und Werte zu vermitteln. Erziehung und Kultur sind in Nordkorea zentrale Schauplätze für die Revolutionierung des Individuums und die Vermittlung eines neuen Ethos.

Focusing on pieces from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this volume draws on the world's largest collection of J. & L. Lobmeyr glass, which resides in the MAK. Situated at the interface of art and industry, the MAK - Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art has, from the time of its foundation, been a partner to J. & L. Lobmeyr. As an international glass manufacturer, the company has always sought dialogue with artists to produce glass to the highest technical and artistic standards. This catalogue of holdings is an illustrative and scientific survey of the MAK's representative collection of Lobmeyr glassware of the 20th and 21st centuries with detailed information, photos and comparative examples. The volume documents the company's strategies and stages up until today, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for glass lovers and experts.

COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, founded in 1968, is among the most innovative and significant architectural firms globally. This catalog, accompanying an exhibition at MAK Wien, showcases numerous international projects by the team, including key buildings like BMW Welt, Musée des Confluences, and the European Central Bank. A highlight of the publication is the presentation of a unique spatial installation developed for MAK, which effectively illustrates the continuity and diversity of the architects' design vocabulary. The firm’s recent urban structures, such as BMW Welt in Munich (2001-07), Musée des Confluences in Lyon (2001-10), and the European Central Bank in Frankfurt (2003-11), are featured through a collection of photographs, renderings, planning materials, and sketches. These materials provide insights into both completed structures and those still in the planning phase. Contributions from Jeffrey Kipnis, Sylvia Lavin, and Peter Noever explore the connections between the firm’s work and broader themes in architecture, history, literature, film, and art. Additionally, project-specific texts from the firm offer a deep dive into their conceptual practices, highlighting their role as pioneers in contemporary architecture.
