The ArtsSeptember 2024Cases of citation
On literature in art
by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman
Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.

May 2019Die Erfindung des Westens
Eine deutsche Geschichte mit Will McBride
by Ulf Erdmann Ziegler, Will McBride
Dieses Buch erzählt vom deutschen Abenteuer eines amerikanischen Puritaners, der »die Anfänge liebte«. Will McBride kam 1953 mit der US-Armee nach Deutschland und blieb. In West-Berlin erfand er die »Clique«, die melancholisch gestimmt ihr Vergnügen suchte. Mit diesem Motiv wurde er Fotograf der neuen Zeitschrift twen und bald ein Star seines Fachs. Die Aufnahme seiner Frau Barbara als Schwangerer gereichte zum Skandal. In den sechziger Jahren betrieb er in München ein riesiges Studio, in dem die Bilder für Zeig Mal! entstanden, das paradigmatische Aufklärungsbuch der sozialliberal verjüngten Republik. Von Worpswede bis in die Toskana suchte McBride nach einer frischen Form für einen überzeugenden Lebensstil. Die biographischen Recherchen des Autors summieren sich zu einer alternativen Kulturgeschichte der Bundesrepublik. Gastauftritte haben Willy Fleckhaus, Donna Summer, Hans Filbinger, Willy Brandt, Norman Rockwell und Wolfram Siebeck. Eine Auswahl von McBrides besten schwarzweißen Fotografien begleitet die ungewöhnliche Erzählung von der »Erfindung des Westens«.

Gender Equity & Reconciliation
Thirty Years of Healing the Most Ancient Wound in the Human Family
by Will Keepin and Cynthia Brix
How can we move forward beyond the anger and outrage to heal and transform, in practical ways, the vast crisis of relations between women and men, and among people of all genders? This book addresses that question. Over the past 30 years, the Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) project has convened over 300 intensive workshops and trainings in 12 countries, for more than 7,000 people on 6 continents. These groups have engaged in a deep process of unraveling the systemic knots of gender conflicts and developed practical skills for transforming gender relations from the inside out. Another 22,000 people have been introduced to the GERI process in conferences and trainings. Inspired by the principles of Truth and Reconciliation developed by the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, the GERI project has a longstanding record. This book is full of inspiring stories that document how the methodology of deep truth-telling and collective alchemy dissolves root causes of gender conflict, through skillfully facilitated, heart-centered transformational experiences, which are followed up with ongoing peer support. With contributions from 12 distinguished world leaders in this field, and special inserts from such notable persons as Stanislav Grof, MD, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, and Peter Rutter, MD, this book is an invaluable resource for laypersons and professionals, educators and religious leaders who are thoughtfully addressing the gender-based conflicts and needs of young and old in their own homes, therapy practices, organizations and congregations across the globe. Will Keepin, Ph.D. and Rev. Cynthia Brix, Ph.D., are co-founders of Gender Equity & Reconciliation, International.

The ArtsFebruary 2007Mathieu Kassovitz
by Will Higbee, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram
Mathieu Kassovitz is arguably the most important filmmaker to have emerged from French cinema in the past two decades. As a director, his work often engages with highly controversial socio-political issues whilst still managing to attract and connect with a popular audience - and, above all, with a youth audience. He is also one of the few contemporary French filmmakers who is capable of productively engaging with Hollywood, in terms of cinematic style, narrative and genre, yet still retaining his own identity as a French filmmaker. In addition to his directorial successes, Kassovitz has also achieved considerable critical and commercial success in France as a screen actor. His films - whether directed by or acted in, or both - show an astonishing variety, from his early Métisse (1993), his break-through, La Haine (1995) through to Jeunet's Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2000), Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopatre (2002) and Gothika (2003). Will Higbee's study is the first to explore of one of the most fascinating characters in French cinema. ;

May 2010Havanna
Ein Reisebegleiter
by Roman Rhode
»Die Straßen in Havanna«, schrieb der kubanische Schriftsteller Alejo Carpentier, »bieten ein fortwährendes Schauspiel: Theater, Karikatur, Drama, Komödie oder was auch immer.« So verwundert es nicht, daß gerade Künstler und Intellektuelle sich von der pulsierenden Atmosphäre der Hafenstadt inspirieren ließen. In den prächtigen Hotels der Altstadt logierten Jean-Paul Sartre, Ry Cooder und Albert Einstein. Ernest Hemingway erkor Havanna sogar zu seinem ständigen Wohnsitz. Den Soundtrack zu dem Treiben auf den Straßen liefern bis heute Rumba und Son Cubano – die mit dem Buena Vista Social Club unvergeßlich wurden. Auf den Spuren bedeutender Autoren entdeckt der Leser die verborgenen, magischen Orte der »Perle der Karibik«.

The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow
Child's View of the Holocaust
by Irit Dror-Reytan
The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow is not a conventional book about the holocaust. It does not describe the atrocities of WW2, especially towards the Jewish people. Instead, the writer tells a story of her own life from a personal view as a chid, during that period. With the gentle strokes of an artist, the author paints the scenery of her childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland, from age three to six, describing events as she perceived them at the time from a child's point of view. Her peaceful and happy country life is crushed by the occupation of Nazi Germany. On a cold and rainy night, our heroine evades the firing squad that annihilates most of her family; her mother joins the partisans, her father is deported to Auschwitz, and she finds herself all alone, hidden in a wicker basket, with a Christian peasant family. After liberation and an incredible reunion with her mother, in an attempt to rehabilitate life, the child becomes the mother and is forced to mature instantly. She takes responsibility for her mother and herself in a daily struggle to survive. Then, an impossible surprise strikes! The purpose of this book is to deliver a message to children who were abused, in any way, not to give in, not to lose hope—the sun will rise tomorrow! Irit Dror-Reytan was born on September 22, 1939, in Boryslav, Poland. After the war she lived in Waldenburg, Poland, until 1950 when her family immigrated to Israel. She was educated in Tabeetha Jaffa, a Church of Scotland school. The Author completed her studies at the Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv. She received a B.A. from Queens College in New York and a Master’s degree in psychology from Lesley University in Boston. Irit taught music and English for many years. For the last twenty years, she has been treating IDF soldiers suffering from PTSD. The author has four children, seven grandchildren and lives with her husband in Israel. 128 Pages, 15X22.5 CM
