Candela

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The focus of this monograph on Spanish-born Felix Candela is on modern Mexican architecture and its international influence. Conducting daring structural experiments with materials such as reinforced concrete and experimenting with shell vaulting to find new methods to save costs and material in building, Candela not only succeeded in putting his engineering knowledge into high quality constructions but also into high quality architecture. Geometry marks his impressive sculptural work, not only in the industrial buildings but also in churches, restaurants, university buildings, and sport facilities. With this book, readers are invited to discover how construction problems result in poetic and bizarre forms, and how advances in engineering can lead to expressionist architecture.

Candida Hofer: Architecture of Absence

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Candida HA¶fer creates meticulously composed images of public and institutional spaces marked with the richness of human activity, yet largely devoid of human presence. Whether a photograph of a national library or a lounge at Volkswagen`s headquarters, HA¶fer`s images ask us to conduct distanced, disengaged examinations through the windows she creates. The collected images present a universe wholly constructed by human intention, unearthing patterns of order and logic imposed on these spaces by their absent creators and inhabitants. The Architecture of Absence examines HA¶fer`s oeuvre and its relationship to the work of other noted students of renowned professors Bernd and Hilla Becher. An exhibition of this work will open at the University Art Museum at California State University, Long Beach in January 2005, and travel to the co-organizing museum, the Norton Museum in Florida, among other venues.

Candida Hofer: On Kawara, Date Paintings in Private Collections

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From 2004 to 2007, the noted German art photographer Candida Hofer traveled the world to photograph Japanese-born, New York-based Conceptual artist On Kawara`s iconic Date Paintings in the homes of private collectors. Because this series of paintings always and only depicts one specific date--in bold, white, capital letters against a darker monochromatic ground--collectors often choose their own for a sentimental reason like a birthday, a special anniversary or an important day in history. Because of this, the paintings are often given pride of place within a collection, in many cases they are situated in a place where the collector spends much of his or her time. All this being said, Kawara is widely considered one of the most important artists of the postwar era, and his work can be found in many of the most significant private collections in the world--among them Friedrich Christian Flick`s, Leonard and Luise Riggio`s, David and Monica Zwirner`s, Kasper Konig`s, Jutta Linthe and… [detailed...]

Candidate Strategies and Electoral Competition in the Russian Federation: Democracy without Foundation

2006 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: In the early 1990s, competitive elections in the Russian Federation signaled the end to the authoritarian political system dominated by a single political party. More than ten years and many elections later, a single party led by Russian President Vladimir Putin threatens to end Russia`s democratic experiment. Russia`s experience with new elections is not unique but it does challenge existing theories of democratic consolidation by showing that competitive elections cannot guarantee successful democratic consolidation. This book explores the conditions under which electoral competition contributes to democratic development by examining impact of elections on democratic consolidation. The theoretic framework focuses on the construction of infrastructure that transforms competitive elections into mechanisms of democratic development and shows how candidates for national parliamentary office systematically chose electoral strategies that undermined Russia`s democratic foundation… [detailed...]

Candles to the Sun

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe first full-length play by novice playwright Thomas Lanier Williams to be produced, Candles to the Sun was premiered by The Mummers, a semi-professional and socially aware theatre troupe in St. Louis on March 18, 1937, and received rave reviews in the local press. Set in the Red Hills coal mining section of Alabama and dealing with both the attempts of the miners to unionize and the bleak lives of their families, the play, according to St. Louis Star-Times critic Reed Hynds, is `an earnest and searching examination of a particular social reality set out in human and dramatic terms.` Working principally from a script supplied by Jane Garrett Carter (who played Star in the original production), Dan Isaac, as he did in his edition of another `early` Williams` play, Spring Storm , uses his directorial and scholarly skills to prepare a version as close as possible to the 1937 production while providing contemporary readers (or actors) with the necessary… [detailed...]

With brutal honesty, Liftin exposes herself as insatiable. As a child she indulged in cups full of powdered sugar mixed with just enough water to make a paste which she ate in front of the TV, and multiple packs of hot chocolate mix, licked from her finger on her way home from school. She is a connoisseur of every candy you`ve ever tasted or even heard of, and of many candies you`ve never (and might never) come across. The friendships, love stories, and heartbreaks that make up her life story evolve through tales of candy consumption.

Hong, who narrates the novel, and whose life in many ways parallels the author`s own, drops out of high school and runs away at age 17 to the frontier city of Shenzen. As Hong navigates the temptations of the city, she quickly falls in love with a young musician and together they dive into a cruel netherworld of alcohol, drugs, and excess, a life that fails to satisfy Hong`s craving for an authentic self, and for a love that will define her.

His dizzying descent leads to a confrontation in a midtown bordello and a searing self-revelation…. And suddenly we are in Ed McBain territory. Emma Boyle of the Special Victims Unit is assigned to the case of a young prostitute`s murder. As the foggy events of the night in question come into focus, Benjamin Thorpe becomes a viable suspect.
