The Essential "New Art Examiner"
The New Art Examiner was the only successful art magazine ever to come out of Chicago. It had nearly a three-decade long run, and since its founding in 1974 by Jane Addams Allen and Derek Guthrie, no art periodical published in the Windy City has lasted longer or has achieved the critical mass of readers and admirers that it did. The Essential New Art Examiner gathers the most memorable and cel…

Time to PlayAction and Interaction in Contemporary Art
Play art' or interactive art is becoming a central concept in the contemporary art world, disrupting the traditional role of passive observance usually assumed by audiences, allowing them active participation. The work of 'play' artists - from Carsten Holler's 'Test Site' at the Tate Modern to Gabriel Orozco's 'Ping Pond Table' - must be touched, influenced and experienced; the gallery-goer is …

The Georgian London Town HouseBuilding, Collecting and Display
For every great country house of the Georgian period, there was usually also a town house. Chatsworth, for example, the home of the Devonshires, has officially been recognised as one of the country's favourite national treasures - but most of its visitors know little of Devonshire House, which the family once owned in the capital. In part, this is because town houses were often leased, rather t…

Scandinavian Museums and Cultural Diversity
Museums face the task of representing the similarities and differences that exist between groups, such as national identities and indigenous and minority voices, material and intangible heritage, and current status and past history. In order to achieve this aim, a complex and not always easily compatible set of interests have to be taken into account, from those of the museum itself, to those o…

Museums, the Media and RefugeesStories of Crisis, Control and Compassion
Across countries and time, asylum-seekers and refugees have been represented in a variety of ways. In some representations they appear negatively, as dangers threatening to 'over-run' a country or a region with 'floods' of incompatible strangers. In others, the same people are portrayed positively, with compassion, and pictured as desperately in need of assistance. How these competing perceptio…

Matisse’s PoetsCritical Performance in the Artist’s Book
Throughout his career, Henri Matisse used imagery as a means of engaging critically with poetry and prose by a diverse range of authors. Kathryn Brown offers a groundbreaking account of Matisse's position in the literary cross-currents of 20th-century France and explores ways in which reading influenced the artist's work in a range of media. This study argues that the livre d'artiste became the…

Morphologien
Die (sichtbare) Welt ist geprägt von einer unermesslichen Vielfalt von Formen, Mustern und Strukturen. Deren Betrachtung und Bewertung hat zu Methoden der Beschreibung, Darstellung, Analyse und Klassifikation geführt, welche für die Frage nach den Ursachen und Mechanismen von Formentstehung und Formwandel grundlegend wurden. Dabei steht die Form selbst auch für Funktionen, Prozesse und Konz…

Bild - Ton - Rhythmus
An theoretischen Versuchen zum Verständnis audiovisueller Verknüpfungen fehlt es nicht. Viele dieser Ansätze sind an Medien und Kunstgattungen wie Musikvideo, Tonfilm, Tanz, Oper, Klanginstallation und Klangskulptur erprobt worden. Stets geht es dabei um den Schnitt zwischen Tönen und Bildern, also um Formen ihrer Verbindung und Montage; zum anderen um die dynamische Dimension dieser Montag…
