Apartamento Publishing S.L.v All the Stuff We Cooked: 49 recipes
Book SynopsisWelcome to the updated edition of Frederik Bille Brahe's sold-out first cookbook, All the Stuff We Cooked, born of that strange moment when we all learnt what it was to go into lockdown for the first time. From the confines of our respective homes, we came up with the idea of publishing this book in the same spirit of simplicity and integrity that we find in Frederik's cooking, and from there it was a question of inviting the Japanese artist Masanao Hirayama to add his unassuming linework alongside Frederik's photos. The result was All the Stuff We Cooked: 44 recipes for simple but thoughtful dishes, a taste of his internationally renowned restaurants in CopenhagenAtelier September, Apollo Bar, and Kafeteriaand the cooking he does at home for his family. The response from everyone who bought the book and cooked from it was deeply touching, and for this new edition we've added in five more recipes: some of the stuff we cooked that didn't make it to the first edition', or the proverbial cherry on top.

Cambridge University Press The Gothic Screen
Book SynopsisAt the heart of Gothic cathedrals, the threshold between nave and sanctuary was marked by the choir screen, a partitioning structure of special complexity, grandeur, and beauty. At once a canopy for altars, a stage for performance, a pedestal for crucifixes and reliquaries, and a ground for spectacular arrays of narrative and iconic sculptures, the choir screen profoundly shaped the spaces of liturgy and social interaction for the diverse communities, both clerical and lay, who shared the church interior. For the first time, this book draws together the most important examples - some fully extant, others known through fragments and graphic sources - from thirteenth- and fourteenth-century France and Germany. Through analyses of both their architectural and sculptural components, Jacqueline E. Jung reveals how these furnishings, far from being barricades or hindrances, were vital vehicles of communication and shapers of a community centered on Christian rituals and stories.Trade Review"Recommended." Choice"This book has been long awaited and it does not disappoint in the breadth and richness of its exposition … [U]ndoubtedly it will become a standard reference for studies of both the built environment and iconography of the Middle Ages." The Medieval Review"The Gothic Screen makes stimulating reading for students and scholars, pointing the way for further studies of screens of all kinds throughout medieval Europe. Never again could we wish away the Gothic screen, nor would we want to." Tom Nickson, The Medieval Journal"… one can only be grateful for Jung's insights and keen observations. She has put the discussion of choir screens where it really belongs: within the vast realm of lay religiosity." Dorothy Gillerman, Speculum"At the turn of this century, Jacqueline Jung published an influential article on choir screens in Gothic great churches. She has been regarded as the leading Anglo-American specialist on these furnishings ever since, a status maintained through publication of subsequent essays. Now, at last, her monograph on the topic has arrived in the form of an authoritative statement of the role of screens as space-co-ordinating, performative, psychology-conditioning objects."

Hayward Gallery Publishing Silver and Glass: Cornelia Parker and Photography
Book SynopsisSilver and Glass is the first publication to explore the application and influence of photography in the art of the popular British artist Cornelia Parker (born 1956). The book is illustrated by works from across Parker''s career, including those which arose from her investigations into the photogravure. Inspired by the 19th-century photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot, Parker combined two of his early techniques?solar prints and the photogravure?to create a new hybrid form of print by exposing translucent three-dimensional objects to ultraviolet light.Presented here are a collection of 20 large-scale prints from three experimental series: Fox Talbot''s Articles of Glass (2017), One Day This Glass Will Break (2015) and Thirty Pieces of Silver (Exposed) (2015). A wide range of Parker''s sculpture and documentary photography is also included.

Aman iman Fleurs du Mal
Book SynopsisFor Charles Baudelaire, the photographic medium is not an art but a technical means of representing reality. As a counterpoint to Baudelaire, Antoine d'Agata reworks his own photographs through digital intervention to return to engraving, as if to go from the pixel to the line of the time. He pushes photography to its limits, discarding the medium to return to the raw. Baudelaire's texts thus enter into dialogue with photographs that have become engravings through wear and tear and manipulation, where the bodies blend together to give way to the poetry of the body. The work is based on the original uncensored edition of Baudelaire's collection accompanied by these engraved prints by d'Agata. Present and past are superimposed. Like a game of transparency that will present the frame of an image on the cover. In this work Fleurs du Mal, Baudelaire is a stroller, a spectator of the world around him, of urban transformations, while d'Agata embodies photography, life and reappropriates the space of the city by the gesture. Two personalities meet on the occasion of the 200 years of the birth of Charles Baudelaire. Two artists who could have meet each other, debated, confronted each other. For d'Agata, Baudelaire leaves a legacy that must be pushed to extend its own reflection. The artist intervenes on the edge of Baudelaire's poems with personal reflections and quotations from his favorite thinkers, descendants of Baudelaire's thought: Walter Benjamin, Guy Debord or Georges Bataille. Affixed vertically to the poems, these handwritten interventions assert themselves while leaving the original text its own space. A second sense of reading is thus offered to the reader between Baudelaire's text and the interpretation given by d'Agata through the words as much as through the engravings.

Floating Opera Press English in Berlin
Book SynopsisIn Kreuzberg cafe?s or Neuko?lln vintage shops, cosmopolitan Berlin speaks English as a matter of course. But how did the English language take hold in these places? Who speaks English in Berlin and who is excluded in doing so? Isn't it just a short while ago that groups who conversed in a language other than German were stigmatised as parallel societies by the German media? Political geographer Sinthujan Varatharajah and artist Moshtari Hilal explore these questions in an Instagram live conversation, available in this volume in an extended version in German and English translation. They uncover the underlying double standards and capital interests of the German mainstream society, trace the links with gentrification and asylum policy, and search for forms of equitable cultural work. Moshtari Hilal is an artist living in Hamburg. Sinthujan Varatharajah is a researcher and essayist living in Berlin. In a live Instagram conversation in 2021, they triggered an intense debate about Nazi traditions after 1945.

Inpatient Press First Pylon
Book SynopsisMelding historical and literary references with poignant personal experiences, Cole Lu's work tells stories of dissonance and longing through spiraling odysseys anchored by obscure characters of ancient mythology, a motley assemblage of demigods, daemons, and spirits. First Pylon is a compendium of Lu''s vellum drawings which are the precursors to his pieces made of burnt wood panels and linen, accompanied by a corresponding collection of his poetry and writing. With his burned work, Lu returns to the origin of storytelling by writing with fire. In First Pylon, Lu traces what came before the fire and envisions a new mythos born from beyond the flame.(The Ninth Sun)Of the journey itself,he has no recollectionexcept for a sound of thundermade from the burning of Time,all the hours piled upinto a bonfire,flickering,the yearsblazingbehind him.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Performing Arts as High-Impact Practice
Book SynopsisThis book investigates how the performing arts in higher education nationally contribute to the “high impact practices,” as identified by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU). Using the well-known map of the HIPs for illustrating the centrality of performing arts practices in higher education, the editors and authors of this volume call for increased participation by performing arts programs in general education and campus initiatives, with specific case studies as a guide. Performing arts contribute to the efforts of their institution in delivering a strong liberal arts education that uniquely serves students to meet the careers of the future. This is the first book to explicitly link the performing arts to the HIPs, and will result in the implementation of best practices to better meet the educational needs of students. At stake is the viability of performing arts programs to continue to serve students in their pursuit of a liberal arts education.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Why Frame the Performing Arts as High-Impact Practice?Chapter 2. First-Year Seminars and ExperiencesChapter 3. Common Intellectual Experiences Chapter 4. Learning CommunitiesChapter 5.

Cambridge University Press Romeo and Juliet
Book SynopsisThis updated critical edition includes a completely new introduction which draws on the latest research in theatre history, recent productions and adaptations (in film, theatre, music, dance and fiction), as well as offering an accessible and comprehensive critical introduction to the play.Trade Review'Sometimes, Romeo and Juliet's very familiarity makes it surprisingly difficult to read, to teach, and to perform. Hester Lees-Jeffries' wonderful introduction refreshes its lyric and emotional possibilities. She combines empathy with analysis, uncovering a play that is at once deeply rooted in Elizabethan poetry and in the ongoing psychology of ideas about love, youth, and tragedy. I felt she was giving us this most famous of plays anew.' Emma Smith, University of Oxford'Hester Lees-Jeffries' introduction is as accessible as it is wide-ranging and profoundly learned. It takes the reader on a journey through key themes and the play's long and complex performance history, which includes opera, musicals, and ballet. The scholarship and sensibility are up-to-the-minute and the writing, while not pulling any punches where they are deserved, is profoundly attuned to the play's own lyricism and tenderness. With a final section dedicated to productions screened during the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a landmark edition for a new generation of readers.' Pascale Aebischer, University of Exeter'In popular imagination Romeo and Juliet stands out as a tower among Shakespeare's plays, thanks to its secure place in school curricula, its famous speeches and scenes, its rich production history, and the frequency with which it has been turned into operas, ballets, and films. Lees-Jeffries' new introduction adjusts this splendid isolation by platting the play's connections round about: with romantic poems of the 1590s, with scripts that Shakespeare was writing at the same time, with actors who likely first played the roles, with changing ideas about marriage in the period, with dueling practices, with sexuality and body-language, and with reimaginings of the play across more than four centuries and in multiple media. Lees-Jeffries offers not only a sympathetic and wide-ranging introduction to Romeo and Juliet but a concise history of performance practices and social history in Shakespeare's time.' Bruce R.
