Since 1989, Roxy Paine has been filling galleries, museums, and sites worldwide with his dark, whimsical installations and sculptures, melding the industrial and the organic to explore manmade and natural systems and their ramifications. Paine divides his work into categories: Art Making Machines, mad-scientist mini-factories that produce works of art; Replicants, replicas of flora and fungi made out of industrial materials; Fungal Fields, painterly compositions of his fungi sculptures; Specimen Cases, vitrines filled with his fungal and floral replicas; and Dendroids, metal tree-like forms. Through these industrial-natural visions, Paine reveals the horror and wonder when science and nature collide.
Jean-Michel Basquiat was only twenty-seven when he died in 1988, his meteoric and often controversial career having lasted for just eight years. Despite his early death, Basquiat's powerful A uvre has ensured his continuing reputation as one of modern art's most distinctive voices. Borrowing from graffiti and street imagery, cartoons, mythology and religious symbolism, Basquiat's drawings and paintings explore issues of race and identity, providing social commentary that is shrewdly observed and biting. This bestselling book, now available in a compact edition, celebrates Basquiat's achievements in the contexts of the key influences on his art. It not only re-evaluates the artist's principal works and their meaning, but also explains what keeps his painting relevant today.
A sumptuous celebration of one of the world's most striking photograph collections from 1967 to 2017. This publication celebrates fifty years of collecting photographs at the National Gallery of Canada. In 1967, when the collection was established, the photography market was in its infancy and the collection reflects the availability of in-depth collections of work by some of the forefathers of the medium such as Charles Nègre, William Henry Fox Talbot, Gustave Le Gray and Roger Fenton, among others. Within a few short years of starting to build the collection the science of photographic preservation and conservation was making remarkable strides and influencing the acquisition and exhibition of photographs in museums. This publication celebrates the collecting of photographs, the historical and art historical context of their making and the deepening of our understanding of their physical nature. The work of 164 artists, such as: Benoit Aquin; Diane Arbus; Eugène Atget; Nicolas Baier; Edouard Baldus; Brassaï; Julia Margaret Cameron; Henri Cartier-Bresson; Lynne Cohen; Benjamin John Dancer; Walker Evans; Robert Frank; Lee Friedlander; Isabelle Hayeur; Arnaud Maggs; Robert Mapplethorpe; John Max; Lisette Model; Eadweard Muybridge; Charles Nègre; William McFarlane Notman; Marc Ruwedel; Jospeph Sudek; William Henry Fox Talbot and vernacular and news photographs by unknown photographers will also be included.
Marc Chagall hat in den Jahren 1957 - 1961 einen Zyklus von fünf Bildern zu dem biblischen Buch des Hohenliedes geschaffen. Pfarrer Klaus Mayer erschließt in diesem Buch dem Leser die einzelnen Bilder sowie den Zyklus als ganzen. "Eine feinsinnigere Umsetzung des Hohenliedes in Bildersprache läßt sich schwerlich vorstellen Chagall und seine Kunst sind ohne den chassidischen Hintergrund nicht denkbar." Telta-Zeitung
Seven years after his first book, Bart Lens and his team Lens Ass show how the direction they have chosen can lead to fascinating projects. The formulation of a clear and precise concept forms the basis of every single design. A concious choice of materials and elaborated detailing bring forth creations that express tranquility and serenity. The clear line-work emphasises the pure emotions that originate in the union of design and light. The great care that goes into the elaboration of the interior in all its facets is a constant preoccupation for Lens Ass. The book presents a wide variety of projects: new constructions, remodelling assignments, interior designs, even objects such as furniture and lamps. The introduction of a basic idea, a theme, forms the foundation of every project, no matter what its scale might be. This same visions is also the starting point for the recent large-scale architectural projects.
In this innovative and comprehensive collection of essays Jack Lightstone and Frederick Bird document and interpret ritual practice among contemporary Canadian Jews. They particularly focus on the character and meaning of the public performance of the Sabbath liturgy in six urban Canadian synagogues, ranging from Orthodox to Reform, and from large congregations to a small house synagogue-yeshiva (rabbinic academy). Their examination of synagogue ritual is complemented with accounts of the ritual life of contemporary Canadian Jews outside the synagogue â amongst their families, within their homes and beyond. In contrast with other studies of Jewish observance, Lightstone and Bird document not simply which rituals are practised and how often; rather they stress the meaning, including the social meaning, of these rituals and treat them as complex symbolic systems. Their multidisciplinary approach together with their openness to include a wide variety of phenomena in their study (for example, the organization of the physical setting of the Sabbath, dress codes and patterns of greeting and handshaking) place this work at the very forefront of current research. Ritual and Ethnic Identity will be of great value to historians and sociologists of religion, anthropologists and all those concerned with religion, ritual and Canadian Jewish and ethnic studies.

Denne 5. udgave af Basisbog i ergoterapi introducerer de nyeste modeller for ergoterapeutisk praksis, og fremhæver en række nye emner med selvstændige kapitler; bl.a. aktivitetsbegrebet, roller for ergoterapeuter i monofaglige, tværfaglige og tværsektorielle sammenhænge og aktivitetscentreret ergoterapi i forskellige kontekster. Samtidig er nogle emner, der før havde et selvstændigt kapitel, blevet inkorporeret i andre kapitler. Alle bogens kapitler er revideret – langt de fleste med en betydelig omskrivning – og et opdateret kildemateriale findes gennem hele bogen. Bogens samlede 20 kapitler er struktureret i fem dele, og beskriver tilsammen vidensgrundlaget for ergoterapi, både teoretisk og praktisk. Første del fortæller om ergoterapi med aktivitet og deltagelse i fokus, og anden del omhandler rammer og vilkår for ergoterapi. Tredje del forklarer de grundlæggende tilgange i ergoterapi. Fjerde del omhandler ergoterapeutiske interventioner, mens del fem giver et indblik i ergoterapi som evidensbaseret praksis. Få en samlet indføring i ergoterapiens kernebegreber og i de temaer, der tegner ergoterapifagets udvikling aktuelt og i dansk kontekst. Bogen henvender sig primært til ergoterapeutstuderende, men også ergoterapeuter i praksis kan have stor gavn af bogen.
