Olaf Breuning
Olaf Breuning: Home

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Swiss artist Olaf Breuning`s videos revel hilariously in adolescent antics and pop culture. In a recent work, Wayne`s World types don masks, eat dog food, and throw m&,m`s at pets, and in another segment, a gang invades Amish country, strips a passerby, pulls a mask over his head, and chases him into the woods. Like Mike Kelley before him, Breuning seeks not just to erase the line between our media-saturated world of film and television and high art, but to blow it to smithereens. That doesn`t mean he isn`t thoughtful and thought provoking: Inventive composition and technical mastery inform all his pieces, whether videos or large-format photographs. Inspired by Doug Aitken, Matthew Barney`s early work, and filmmakers such as John Carpenter and John Waters, Breuning has learned both how to get a laugh (and a scream) and to plumb the deeper human comedy (and horror). Edited by Lionel Bovier. Essays by Inge Lindner-Gaillard and Brian Kerstetter. Paperback, 9.5 x 11.25 in./160 pgs… [detailed...]

Olaf Holzapfel, Andreas Spiegl
Olaf Holzapfel: Nakano Sakaue (German Edition)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: German photographer Olaf Holzapfel became fascinated, during a residency in Tokyo, with a ``city within the city`` - yellow bumps and grooves on the ground that form a guidance system for blind people walking with canes. Holzapfel contrasts photographs from the Nakano Sakaue rail station with other images of Tokyo for a photo-essay that art historian Andreas Spiegl characterizes as a ``geography that … describes perception as a territory - the view of the visible and the imaginary.`` This embossed hardcover blends rich color photographs, dominated by the (in)visible yellow lines that traverse Tokyo, with black-and-white images of what were originally garishly colored scenes, reinforcing the contrast between the seen and the unseen worlds of Tokyo.

Olaf Nicolai
Olaf Nicolai

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOlaf Nicolai questions the processes of perception in order to elicit a different kind of reception. `Questions of form, moods, attitudes and style are not just vain play with surfaces. They are questions of [the] organizational forms of activities,` he explains. In his works, Nicolai displays attitudes and styles, combining and collecting them. He integrates classical artistic techniques and the act of collecting, he secures evidence and constructs archives as the activities of his artistic production. His surprising, often overwhelming installations combine current questions of the natural sciences and the liberal arts with conceptual works that refer to biology, architecture, aesthetics, iconography, history, and the general processes of civilization and urban life. Focused on the construction and exploration of new aesthetic contexts, Nicolai`s work often reflects the difference between nature and art, or naturalness and artificiality. This first big monograph is… [detailed...]

Olafur Eliasson
Olafur Eliasson

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSince the 1990s, Olafur Eliasson has been exploring cognitive and physical phenomena as we know them from the natural sciences and nature. He uses both technically sophisticated equipment and deceptively simple means such as water or light to create artificial landscapes and moments of perception that let viewers perceive or reenact natural phenomena. Their strongly atmospheric but entirely constructed nature makes viewers become painfully conscious of how far modern civilization has progressed from immediate experience, they question the acceptance of authenticity in the area of perception. This lavish, oversized book, published in an edition of only 1,500 copies and conceived in cooperation with the artist, features a series of landscape photographs by Eliasson from his native Iceland, exploring the limits and conventions of our traditional view of landscape. They show that our perception of nature has been fundamentally affected by cultural influences, memories, and… [detailed...]

Leona Rostenberg, Madeleine Stern
Old Books, Rare Friends: Two Literary Sleuths and Their Shared Passion

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: When their friendship and business partnership began in the 1940s, Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern were pioneers in a man`s world. Now approaching their nineties, the duo, who -- among their many discoveries -- unearthed Louisa May Alcott`s pseudonymous blood-and-thunder stories, remain a vibrant institution in the rare book trade, even as the Internet changes their field -- and their community -- forever. After publishing Old Books, Rare Friends, Rostenberg and Stern received a flood of fan mail asking about their personal lives, and they have responded with rare honesty and warmth as they reflect on their lives and their remarkable partnership. Bookends recounts their fascinating histories -- family backgrounds, business adventures, the men theydid not marry, and their approach to the bittersweet trials of aging. Yet, more than just a dual memoir, Bookends is also a chronicle of the cultural changes of twentieth-century American life, and a loving farewell to the golden age… [detailed...]

Old China`s New Economy: The Conquest of a Billion Paupers

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A new China was born in 1949. After thousands of years of feudalism, in six decades the economy has undergone a change from Mao (read socialist economy) to market (socialist market economy). Old China`s New Economy: The Conquest of a Billion Paupers, presents a comprehensive analysis of the rise and growth of the Chinese economy since the beginning of the country`s transition to a socialist market economy, highlighting the critical role of two major change agents- the government and the people. While the credit goes to the former for successful transition to a high growth economy, there is an equally important role played by the latter, the Chinese people, as displayed in their hard work, tenacity and struggle for a better standard of living. The book analyses the key drivers of high growth, delves into the much debated and discussed issue of sustainability and the numerous challenges that high growth has thrown up for the people and the government. The book also argues that China… [detailed...]

Old Clothes, New Looks : Second-Hand Fashion (Dress, Body, Culture)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Second-hand fashion has a history as old as the production of clothing itself, but until recently it was given little consideration. Used clothes represent the largest numbers of existing garments but until recently they were not perceived as serious fashion items. However, this has changed dramatically with the rise of vintage web sites, value clothing chains, and the fashion media`s perpetuation of the idea that secondhand clothes can be recycled into avant-garde `cool`. This book not only shows how important used clothing has become but also what role it plays in culture and history. The Japanese, for example, traditionally salvage sections of kimonos, while in India garments are inexhaustibly recycled. This cross-cultural and historical perspective fills a major gap by offering fresh insights into the innovative use of secondhand dress and age-old traditions of recycling fashion. [detailed...]

Sean Patrick Adams
Old Dominion, Industrial Commonwealth : Coal, Politics, and Economy in Antebellum America (Studies in Early American Economy and Society from the Library Company of Philadelphia)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In 1796, famed engineer and architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe toured the coal fields outside Richmond, Virginia, declaring enthusiastically, `Such a mine of Wealth exists, I believe, nowhere else!` With its abundant and accessible deposits, growing industries, and network of rivers and ports, Virginia stood poised to serve as the center of the young nation`s coal trade. By the middle of the nineteenth century, however, Virginia`s leadership in the American coal industry had completely unraveled while Pennsylvania, at first slow to exploit its vast reserves of anthracite and bituminous coal, had become the country`s leading producer. Sean Patrick Adams compares the political economies of coal in Virginia and Pennsylvania from the late eighteenth century through the Civil War, examining the divergent paths these two states took in developing their ample coal reserves during a critical period of American industrialization. In both cases, Adams finds, state… [detailed...]

This book takes the unique approach of introducing the art of searching for information on the Web to those people who did not grow up using a computer during the early days of the Internet. Of particular interest are those of us who are over fifty years young. Imagine a newspaper with color photographs. That?s not so hard. Most Sunday papers come in color these days. Now visualize that the newspaper has video and audio. Instead of just seeing a photograph of an event, you could actually see part of, or perhaps all of, the event just by touching a part of the newspaper which said `show me.` Suppose this newspaper not only showed headlines from today?s New York Times, but also showed headlines from the Washington Post and nearly every other newspaper in the world! Wouldn?t it be nice if this super newspaper could define a word for us that we didn?t understand just by touching it?… [detailed...]

Inside, youwill learn the history of the modern computer, what it is used for and how to use it. No assumptions are made. Reading these pages would be equivalent to stepping into a time machine to learn about computers as they were just becoming popular. In the 1970?s and early 80?s, there were many places one could go to learn or read about computers. Back then, the technology was new, so companies needed to work hard to prove that there was a market for the type of computer which an individual would want to buy. This book virtually takes you back to that era as no other book can. Topics are discussed in much the same way the books of yesteryear described them but with an important twist, it is current technology which is addressed… [detailed...]
