History & Criticism

Leading performers from Cecilia Bartoli to Anne Sofie von Otter share their memories of transformative encounters with music and theater 
In this volume, 70 performing artists share memories of those encounters with classical music and theater that forever altered their lives. These memories often served as a catalyst for their professional development or as a midcareer intervention—a nudge to follow an impulse and shift directions. Throughout these conversations—facilitated by the Swiss soprano singer Christine Cerletti and the writer, filmmaker, presenter and vocal coach Thomas Voigt—pivotal moments from music and theater history are interwoven into the artists’ personal histories. The voices represented include Michele Angelini, Benjamin Appl, Cecilia Bartoli, Brigitte Fassbaender, Renée Fleming, Ioan Holender, Jonas Kaufmann, Jack Mastroianni, Anja Silja, Bo Skovhus, Jörg Widmann and Anne Sofie von Otter. 
Voices illustrates their accounts with more than 400 photographs. James Jolly, British editor-in-chief of Gramophone, contributes a foreword and German music critic Jürgen Kesting contributes texts.

A new book on the work of Danish - Ukrainian architect, artist, photographer and curator, Sergei Sviatchenko.Recognition can come in many ways and can certainly take you by surprise.This is what happened when Sergei Sviatchenko, after many years of practicing as a visual artist, discovered the blogging culture in the two-thousands, and used it for his art photo project 'Close Up And Private', CLOSEUPANDPRIVATE.com.Creating images of men's clothing in the way he usually works, with his collage principles, brought him towards a large audience of people of different ages, all united by an interest in details, quality, and heritage or what he calls "visual language of style".Nominations for "The Best Dressed Man", "the winner of the World Blazer Competition", countless interviews and editorials followed, but the most important thing is that the project (or the site) "has become the regular go-to site for many men on a what-to-wear mission each morning".Book design by Sergei Sviatchenko and Per Freundlich Andersen.4 different cover images - these will be randomly allocated for orders.&nbsp;

At first sight, the childlike figures for which Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara is now famous seem altogether cute and appealing. On closer examination his creations are robust, angry and vulnerable creatures, standing up defiantly to the world of adults--self-confident, stubborn and sometimes violent. Nara's work is influenced by Japanese comic books but he is unique in the contemporary art scene for tapping into horror through the medium of the innocent child--this is particularly poignant in Japan's controlled society of rigid language and social structures, especially considering recent shockingly violent crimes in Japan involving children as the aggressors. Nara's work instills the viewer with a juxtaposition of the innocence of children and the evil nature of humanity, or the fall from grace. Like Kurt Cobain's music, Nara's Pop art, too, aims to lend expression to his generation's concerns, encouraging it to meet the constraints of high achievement. Self-determination, individuality, and freedom are themes that infuse Nara's voice that is clearly heard in Japan and America, where the dividing line between "low" and "high" culture is less stringently drawn than in Europe. In addition to Nara's signature paintings, sculptures, and drawings; (poems and diary entries by the artist); this 204-page book includes texts by the art critic Stephan Trescher and the Japanese cult author Banana Yoshimoto.

Over the past four decades, Richard Artschwager has produced a body of work that could not be more varied in form. Unconventional and unpredictable, it is often difficult to say whether a given work is a painting, sculpture, or furniture, so much so that the American conceptual artist is regarded as the inventor of "furniture sculpture." Presented here are his furniture-like pieces, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations--sometimes these are components of just one of the many works featured. Interspersed with the works is a series of 5 essays. Also included are Artschwager's autochronology, a list of works from the exhibition, and a comprehensive documentation of selected exhibitions (with black and white thumbnails of the pieces), and a selected bibliography.
