Andreas Schmidt: Las Vegas

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFlamingo, Stardust, Caesar`s Palace--the sparkling neon signs that tower over the grand casinos and hotels on the Las Vegas strip are familiar not just in name but in fame. Las Vegas, that desert town built from sand, poker chips, and free buffets, has come to symbolize a certain kind of American culture that deals in extremes of mediatization, simulacra, privatization, and entertainment. Photographer Andreas Schmidt has taken his lens to the city, altering it in such a way that it appears anew: blurred, seen from a passing car, reversed, or reflected in a window pane. A master of the unexpected and the unusual perspective, Schmidt takes super-wide-angle shots of the spectacular Vegas skyline, sandwiching it into the narrow horizontal gapbetween two levels of dark concrete pilings in a parking garage. He makes endless hotel corridors vanish into nothingness. He flows vast, empty convention halls and their wildly twilled carpets together to form absurd, magnificent… [detailed...]

Andreas Slominski

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This collection of Andreas Slominski`s recent work includes Christmas ornaments and all kinds of constructions, including traps, made in a host of materials and techniques. They range from large, aggressive-looking boxes for fighting dogs to toys, like Van for Mice, that let the underdog off the hook. Once arranged on the floor of an exhibition space, these snares create a bit of a minefield, an environment where visitors tread with care. Some experiential pieces share the traps` lighthearted focus on practical matters and working professions: the hiring of frogmen to rescue keys thrown from a bridge, of a skyscraper painter to work on a high window, and of seamstresses to take apart and put back together viewers` pants--after which they sew in a label marking them as part of a limited edition. With a preface by Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli. [detailed...]

Andrei Codrescu and the Myth of America

Description: Book Description`This is one of those times, a time choked in the weeds of academic and civilian formalism. To put it mildly, most of what we see in print in North America is unbearably trivial and singularly devoid of courage.`?Andrei Codrescu, The Disappearance of the Outside. Known to the general public as a radio commentator on National Public Radio, Romanian-born essayist and poet Andrei Codrescu has developed a variety of voices throughout his career: Transylvanian humorist on NPR, surrealist poet in his many volumes of poetry, academic essayist in his philosophical writings and historical novelist. Taking seemingly everyday events in seemingly mundane places, Codrescu is able to link the random details into a larger whole, leading his readers and listeners to conclusions very different from those they first imagined. This work explores Codrescu?s writings and how they are a part of the surrealist tradition. It examines the ways in which his poetry, … [detailed...]

Andrei Tarkovsky: Interviews

2006 y.
Publisher: University Press of Mississippi
Description: Andrei Tarkovsky was one of Russia`s most influential and renowned filmmakers, despite an output of only seven feature films in twenty years. Revered by such filmmaking giants as Ingmar Bergman and Akira Kurosawa, Tarkovsky is famous for his use of long takes, languid pacing, dreamlike metaphorical imagery, and meditations on spirituality and the human soul. His `Andrei Roublev, Solaris`, and `The Mirror` are considered landmarks of postwar Russian cinema. `Andrei Tarkovsky: Interviews` is the first English-language collection of interviews with and profiles of the filmmaker. It includes conversations originally published in French, Italian, Russian, and British periodicals. With pieces from 1962 through 1986, the collection spans the breadth of Tarkovsky`s career. In the volume, Tarkovsky candidly and articulately discusses the difficulties of making films under the censors of the Soviet Union. He explores his aesthetic ideology, filmmakers he admires, and his eventual… [detailed...]

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The towering figure who remade American politics—the champion of the ordinary citizen and the scourge of entrenched privilege The Founding Fathers espoused a republican government, but they were distrustful of the common people, having designed a constitutional system that would temper popular passions. But as the revolutionary generation passed from the scene in the 1820s, a new movement, based on the principle of broader democracy, gathered force and united behind Andrew Jackson, the charismatic general who had defeated the British at New Orleans and who embodied the hopes of ordinary Americans. Raising his voice against the artificial inequalities fostered by birth, station, monied power, and political privilege, Jackson brought American politics into a new age. Sean Wilentz, one of America’s leading historians of the nineteenth century, recounts the fiery career… [detailed...]

Historians and biographers have written many estimates of Andrew Jackson`s career that might fairly be summed up in his mother`s words: `The General kicked the kivers off and we cotch cold.` The General kicked right lustily. He kicked off many of the warm wrappings that swathed the young republic from the bitter blasts of democracy. He kicked away the existing political system and substituted one more to his liking. He was the most uncomfortable of political bedfellows. The author tells the tale of Jackson in this light, with no holds barred. Illustrated. [detailed...]

Matthew Warshauer
Andrew Jackson in Context

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For over a century historians have been unable to agree about Andrew Jackson. Was he as Robert Remini has insisted for more than forty years a masterful politician who shaped the modern presidency and ushered in an era of new democratic politics? Or was he, as James C. Curtis and Andrew Burstein have argued, a loose cannon who possessed no vision for the American republic? What historians do not doubt is Jackson`s significant and lasting impact on American politics and the nation. To fully assess his role and legacy, one must explore the interaction between his personal and political motivations and the larger developments of the early republic and antebellum period. In `Andrew Jackson in Context`, Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University and author of `Andrew Jackson and the Politics of Martial Law`, offers a detailed look at differing historians` views on Jackson and places these perspectives within an accessible biography of the seventh… [detailed...]

Andrew Wyeth: Memory &, Magic

2005 y.
Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: Prior to the 1960s, Andrew Wyeth enjoyed a stellar reputation as a rising star in the art world. Since then, critics and scholars have largely ignored him. Wyeth, however, who is age 88 at the date of publication, has continued to paint, to the delight of his admirers, collectors, and the art-loving public. Now, in association with the High Museum exhibition, Andrew Wyeth: Memory &, Magic takes a fresh look at the work of one of America`s most beloved artists.In examining his entire oeuvre, the book celebrates the artist`s ongoing love affair with everyday life-domestic, natural, and architectural. Found throughout Wyeth`s work, these objects form patterns that illuminate core themes and reveal the artist wrestling with issues of memory, temporality, embodiment, and the metaphysical. Organized chronologically and thematically, the book explores how the artist`s approach to these subjects was formed in his early career, and has been revisited in new and surprising ways in recent… [detailed...]

Andro Wekua: That Would Have Been Wonderful

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAndro Wekua?s hometown, Sochumi in the Republic of Georgia, used to be an idyllic holiday resort for Soviet functionaries. Today it is a zone of exclusion, empty and yet replete with memories: the house of his grandmother, the Black Sea, communist propaganda, a monumental freighter at the docks, traces of the political turmoil of the past. Wekua uses these fragments of personal and political history to create atmospheric paintings, collages, sculptures, traces of his post-cold war search of things past. They are images from a no man?s land between East and West, past und present, nightmare and nostalgia. With an essay by Gianni Jetzer The artist deliberately refrains from reconstructing the past, instead he aestheticizes, transfigures and interprets it to accommodate his own taste. The consequence is an inevitable contradiction. A nostalgia varnish turns Wekua?s pictures into the remote ideal of non-accelerated society with manifest references… [detailed...]
