Heart Shock: Diagnosis and Treatment of Trauma with Shen-Hammer and Classical Chinese Medicine Ross Rosen Singing Dragon
This book describes in detail the effects and ongoing impacts of trauma on the body and mind and provides the \'missing piece\' in the treatment of these stubborn conditions that every practitioner confronts. Heart Shock refers to the systemic impact that emotional and/or physical trauma has on one\'s physiology and psychology, interfering with one\'s ability to heal, and also directly attributable to a host of progressive pathology. Synthesizing the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen and the Shen-Hammer lineage and focusing heavily on psychology, Ross Rosen addresses how to identify, diagnose, and treat Heart Shock from multiple perspectives, providing a multi-faceted approach to treatment, including all the acupuncture channel systems, herbal medicine and the use of essential oils. The approach presented can also be expanded to treat any condition or disease process. Σελίδες: 472, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0629, Διαστάσεις: 18.4x18.4cm

Derek Jarman: Protest! Thames & Hudson Ltd
Derek Jarman was a very English rebel, a maverick and radical artist whose unique and distinctive voice was honed protesting against the strictures of life in post-war Britain. In an innovative practice that roamed freely across all varieties of media, Jarman refused to live and die quietly. He defined bohemian London life in the 1960s, exploded into queer punk in the 70s and with unbounded creative rage, ingenuity and sheer personal charm, he triumphed over an atmosphere of fear and ignorance in the age of AIDS to produce timeless, eloquent works of art which resonate still more strongly today. This major new publication offers a definitive overview of Derek Jarman’s life and work. It covers all aspects of his oeuvre, from his features to his Super-8 films, his painting, design for theatre, poetry, gardening, memoir and political activism. Protest! contains excerpts from Jarman’s own writings, short interviews with friends and collaborators and newly commissioned texts from a wide range of contributors including John Maybury, Peter Tatchell, Philip Hoare, Sir Norman Rosenthal and Olivia Laing. Generously illustrated with previously unseen images drawn from Jarman’s personal archive and unseen works from all stages of his career, this book brings the reader fresh and surprising insights into the world of this much-loved artist.

All The Songs: The Story Behind Every Beatles Release Scott Freiman Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers Inc
Every album and every song ever released by the Beatles - from \"Please Please Me\" (U.S. 1963) to \"The Long and Winding Road\" (U.S. 1970) - is dissected, discussed, and analyzed by two music historians in this lively, fully illustrated work.All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the Beatles and their music. This first-of-its-kind book draws upon decades of research, as music historians Margotin and Guesdon recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every song, the recording process, and the instruments used.Here, we learn that one of John Lennon\'s favorite guitars was a 1958 Rickenbacker 325 Capri, which he bought for £100 in 1960 in Hamburg, Germany. We also learn that \"Love Me Do,\" recorded in Abbey Road Studios in September 1962, took 18 takes to get right, even though it was one of the first songs John and Paul ever wrote together. And the authors reveal that when the Beatles performed \"I Want to Hold Your Hand\" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, John\'s microphone wasn\'t turned on, so viewers heard only Paul singing.The hundreds of photographs throughout the book include rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of Beatles instruments, and engaging shots of the musicians in-studio.All the Songs is the must-have book for the any true Beatles fan.

Idols & Rivals: Artistic Competition in Antiquity and the Early Modern Era Hatje Cantz
Competition is one of the driving forces of our time - everything can suddenly turn into a challenge or a contest. Art, on the other hand - that is outside the art market—can be seen as a free space in which something genuinely unique emerges. That this construct is a historical exception is revealed by a fresh look at the early modern period: Here, the principle of competition was thought to be decisive for artistic work. What is more, the competitive habitus of imitation, competition and surpassing - imitatio, aemulatio and superatio - was supposed to bring about cultural progress as such. Even Leonardo knew that “good envy” spurs high performance. Hence, some of the most famous works of the Renaissance and Baroque periods emerged from the competitive battles that artists in early modern Europe fought among themselves, as well as with long-dead models from antiquity. This splendid catalogue reveals mutual inspiration and cooperation, but also sheds light on the dark side of competition for prestigious commissions - envy, intrigue, and slander.

Late Gothic: The Birth of Modernity Michael Roth Hatje Cantz
Hardly any other epoch in art history has been marked by as many profound changes as the Late Gothic was in the fifteenth century. Inspired by Netherlandish role models, depictions of light and shadow, body and space, became increasingly more realistic. Everyday life found entry into the arts. With the invention of printing, images and texts were distributed to an extent previously unheard of. Artists such as Nicolaus Gerhaert and Martin Schongauer became widely known and influenced the development of the visual arts throughout Europe and across all genres. Featuring a wide selection of works, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin present the first extensive exhibition of Late Gothic art in the German-speaking regions. Its comparison and contrast of the various genres turns the catalogue into a handbook for the arts at the threshold of the modern era. Σελίδες: 360, Έτος Έκδοσης: 1014, Διαστάσεις: 24x24cm

Christiane Löhr: Symmetries of the Smooth (Bilingual edition) Hatje Cantz
A Meticulously Constructed Cosmos of Vegetative Architectures Christiane Löhr creates a unique cosmos of sculptures and installations with materials from nature. Employing airborne seeds, plant stems, burrs, tree blossoms, horse and dog hair for her organic-abstract repertoire of forms, she transforms these ephemeral materials with an element of surprise into precisely constructed sculptures that are both delicate and expansive. In keeping with the comprehensive retrospective, this catalogue is comprised as an anthology: In addition to new texts by Julia Wallner, Jutta Mattern, Astrid von Asten, and Tiziano Scarpa, it brings together insightful essays on the artist’s work from the past decades. The texts are complemented by installation shots of Löhr’s intricate sculptures that create permeable spaces in the light-flooded building of the arp museum Bahnhof Rolandseck designed by Richard Meier.

Loli Kantor: Call me Lola: In Search of Mother Hatje Cantz
A contribution to shared memoriesCall Me Lola is a moving photo essay by the acclaimed Israeli-American lens-based artist and documentarian Loli Kantor. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. At the center of her work is her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself principally through images and stories rather than direct memories. The family documents and photographs that retrace the artist’s personal history are shown alongside new camera-based works, resulting in a deeply subjective reflection on the most significant upheavals of the twentieth century: war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine Hatje Cantz
Magical images that defy time from the grand master of conceptual photography. Through his expansive exploration of the possibilities of still images, the internationally renowned artist and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has created some of the most alluringly enigmatic photographs of our time; pictures that are meticulously crafted and deeply thought-provoking, familiar yet tantalisingly ambiguous. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine is a comprehensive survey of work produced over the past five decades, featuring selections from all of Sugimoto’s major photographic series, as well as lesser-known works that illuminate his innovative, conceptually-driven approach to making pictures. Texts by a collection of international writers, artists and scholars - including Geoffrey Batchen, Edmund de Waal, Mami Kataoka, Ralph Rugoff, Lara Strongman and Margaret Wertheim - will highlight his work’s philosophical yet playful inquiry into the nature of representation and art, our understanding of time and memory, and the paradoxical character of photography as a medium suited to both documenting and invention.

David Adjaye: Living Spaces Thames & Hudson Ltd
For many young architects, houses or domestic buildings are among the first projects they design. For David Adjaye, such early commissions were connected to a rising generation of creatives, with whom he shared a range of sensibilities. His artistry, clever use of space and inexpensive, unexpected materials resulted in many innovative and widely published houses, mainly built in London. After twenty years of practice and a raft of high-profile projects around the world - not least the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, which opened in the autumn of 2016 - houses represent a smaller portion of Adjaye\'s work, but are more potent as a result. Selecting projects that are challenging for their sites, complexity or architectural possibility, Adjaye has both expanded and sharpened his domestic design, taking it in new directions. This monograph presents in vivid detail the nine finest and most recent examples, from Ghana to Brooklyn, from desolate farmlands to urban jungles. The results, presented through lucid texts alongside detailed and photographically rich visual documentation, testify to the importance of Adjaye\'s growing inventiveness and provide powerful new design ideas for residential architecture.

Jean-Michel Basquiat: Art and Objecthood Hatje Cantz
Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Jean-Michel Basquiat: Art and Objecthood, at Nahmad Contemporary, this book will illuminate the role of found objects and unconventional materials in the Jean- Michel Basquiat’s oeuvre. Basquiat, whose artistic practice has profoundly impacted audiences on an international scale, used objects and media from his environs to proliferate messages of social justice and change. Featuring a breadth of works that the artist made using unconventional painted supports and found-object sculptures, this publication will provide an innovative, in-depth look into the artist’s sculptural practice. In addition to painting and drawing on items within his domestic spaces—refrigerators, chairs, and cabinets—Basquiat also left his mark on items he encountered on the street—discarded windows and doors, mirrors, wood boards, and subway tiles. The publication will present new scholarship by leading Basquiat academics and art historians that will explore Basquiat’s use of found objects and materials and their role in addressing issues of social inequality and the politics of race in the United States.

Coco Chanel: Roaring Twenties Hatje Cantz
The early years of the fashion icon The beginnings of Chanel\'s fashion brand lie in the French seaside resorts. In 1912, Coco—then still Gabrielle—Chanel opened her first boutique in Deauville; shops in Biarritz, Monte Carlo and Cannes soon followed. There, her simple, sporty designs met with a cosmopolitan clientele who carried her fashion back to the capital, Paris. In the 1920s, the Chanel brand thus experienced its first heyday, driven by the artistic and social upheaval of those years, the Roaring Twenties. This lavishly illustrated catalogue documents in drawings and photographs the extraordinary productivity of the designer who maintained friendships with artists such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso and others. In the 1920s, Serge Diaghilev\'s Ballets Russes were performing on the Riviera. The book reveals the Slavic influence in Chanel\'s creations, highlighting a network of correspondences with female artists close to Diaghilev\'s circle, such as Natalia Goncharova and Sonia Delaunay. The book also features La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel\'s dream villa built in 1929 near Monaco. Σελίδες: 304, Έτος Έκδοσης: 1003, Διαστάσεις: 19x19cm

Tapta: Flexible Forms Hatje Cantz
Supple sculptures This book is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish-Belgian artist Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalska). Her work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, captivating audiences with her innovative exploration of fluid spaces and dynamic interactions. Her work, an important contribution to twentieth century sculpture, is essentially divided into two major sections: the textile works of the 1960s to 1980s and the subsequent neoprene works of the last years of her life. Her practice moved away from traditional weaving through experimental techniques and evolved into three-dimensional works—first made of cords, then of neoprene sheets—that interacted with the space and the viewer.

The Square’s Heart: Works from The Erling Neby Collection Hatje Cantz
The term “concrete art” was coined by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in 1930, referring to works of art that are exclusively based on purely “plastic” elements, such as color, line and plane, thereby forming an independent “concrete” reality. Accompanied by a new interest in how we perceive and process visual impressions, insights from perception psychology have been artistically explored to create dynamic and ’living’ images. Over the past 50 years, the Norwegian art collector Erling Neby has built an extraordinary collection of geometric and concrete art. Encompassing European, American and Nordic art, the main focus is on works from the post-war years, including leading figures such as Victor Vasarely, Max Bill, Auguste Herbin, Josef Albers, Aase Texmon Rygh and Olle Baertling, as well as new generations of artists who, in different ways, use a geometric-abstract form of expression. This catalogue documents a major exhibition at the Kode Art Museum in Bergen featuring more than 100 works from the collection, which–through its truly personal selection–offers a complex picture of artistic positions, and the impact of geometric and concrete art.

In this second monograph, Dhont presents his creations from over the last twenty years, combining photographs with abstract drawings, colorful planting plans, and sculptural models that reflect on his artistic approach. Intimate views of seminal creations such as the garden of fashion designer Dries van Noten immerse one into Dhont’s creative and sensual universe.

Camille Henrot: Mother Tongue Hatje Cantz
“IN MANY LANGUAGES, ‘UNDERSTANDING’ ALSO COMES FROM THE IDEA OF PUTTING SOMETHING INSIDE YOUR BODY” – CAMILLE HENROT Over the past twenty years, Camille Henrot has developed a critically acclaimed practice that moves seamlessly between drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and film. Mother Tongue is Henrot’s first publication focused solely on painting and drawing, bringing together over 200 works from the series System of Attachment, Wet Job, and Soon, created between 2018 and 2022. This recent body of work addresses the ambivalent nature of care and the tension between the simultaneous developmental need for attachment and independence, beginning at infancy and continuing throughout life. Her deeply personal and intimate interrogations ultimately relate to broader questions such as the expectations placed on mothers and the representation of the female body. This richly illustrated catalogue is accompanied by texts from Emily LaBarge, Legacy Russell, Marcus Steinweg, Hélene Cixous, Seamus Kealy, and a conversation with Camille Henrot and curator Julika Bosch.

Manufacturing a green future Industrial production is considered one of the biggest sources of pollution in the world. In 2020, Norwegian furniture manufacturer Vestre decided to prove that a different future is possible. Together with architects from the Danish Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Vestre drew up plans for a green factory deep in the Norwegian forests: Making The Plus not only takes you through the construction process of the “world’s most sustainable furniture factory,” documented by renowned photographer Einar Aslaksen. It also broadens our view on how architecture, industry, nature, and the public space have to be completely intertwined moving toward a sustainable future.
