(available in store)
Summary:
Laterna Magika, which combines multi-genre theatre performances and films projected onto several screens on stage, emerged as as part of the programme promoting Czechoslovakian culture for Expo 58. Owing to its experimental nature, its combination of different art forms, the interconnection of art and new technologies, its significant role in the international promotion of Czechoslovakia, and its collaboration with numerous remarkable personalities, Laterna Magika was and still is a unique phenomenon within the context of Czech / Slovakian and international art. This monograph, which focuses on the period between 1958 and 1992, presents it as a phenomenon shaped by its many dichotomies: Laterna Magika is both fragmentary and complex, distractive and immersive, past and present, reproduced and live, traditional and progressive, ideological and critical of ideology, popular and elitist, discreet and voyeuristic.

Almost 40 years ago, Dario Paccino published a book with an intriguing title, L'imbroglio ecologico (Einaudi 1972)- The ecology charade. In it, he explored different deviations leading to the cynical exploitation of environmental ideology. What are the real advantages of sustainable development, and who exactly benefits from them? The New Economy or the People? Transnational corporations or local culture? These questions remain unanswered. As the double meaning in its title suggest, this special Green Issue of Domus not only covers green design, but also the unsettled matter of ecology. The architecture and design experiences presented here draw on at lest 30 years of sustainability culture, to steel our courage and determination before the complex task of designing for a Planet that is beset by a serious environmental emergency.

Summary:
Elizabeth A. Povinelli has mapped the creation and dismantling of worlds formed by the twinning of historical progress and settler colonialism—as a unity in events and a contradiction in ideology. Even if corporations and nation-states now collude in the same Ponzi schemes, they still continue to transform space and time. At the receiving end of the ideological exhaust(...)

Summary:
Elizabeth A. Povinelli has mapped the creation and dismantling of worlds formed by the twinning of historical progress and settler colonialism—as a unity in events and a contradiction in ideology. Even if corporations and nation-states now collude in the same Ponzi schemes, they still continue to transform space and time. At the receiving end of the ideological exhaust pipe, where transformation is inherited as deformation, the diagram flips to place brutality and existential exhaustion at the beginning. But the beginning of what? How about a new beginning, starting with modes of survival and persistence against, and within, a world built from deferred promises? This is a world that many in the imperial hemisphere are only starting to realize they’ve known for longer than they want to admit.

"The decay of lying" includes two of Wilde’s most comprehensive–and witty–explorations of his aesthetic philosophy: "The decay of lying" and "The critic as artist." In this text, Wilde uses his decadent ideology in an attempt to reverse and therefore reject his audiences' 'normal' conceptualizations of nature, art and morality.

"The decay of lying" includes two of Wilde’s most comprehensive–and witty–explorations of his aesthetic philosophy: "The decay of lying" and "The critic as artist." In this text, Wilde uses his decadent ideology in an attempt to reverse and therefore reject his audiences' 'normal' conceptualizations of nature, art and morality. Wilde's views of life and art are illustrated through the use of Platonic dialogue where the character Vivian takes on the persona of Wilde. Wilde's goal is to subvert the norm by reversing its values. Wilde suggests to us that society is wrong, not him. Calling on diverse examples - from Ancient Greek sculpture to contemporary paintings - Oscar Wilde's brilliant essay creates a witty, paradoxical world in which the only Art worth loving is that built on complete untruths.

Summary:
Based on newly uncovered archival information and a close reading of numerous NFB films, Projecting Canada explores the NFB's involvement with British Empire communication theory and American social science. Using a critical cultural policy studies framework, Druick develops the concept of "government realism" to describe films featuring ordinary people as representative of segments of the population. She demonstrates the close connection between NFB production policies and shifting techniques developed in relation to the evolution of social science from the 1940s to the present and argues that government policy has been the overriding factor in determining the ideology of NFB films. Projecting Canada offers a compelling new perspective on both the development of the documentary form and the role of cultural policy in creating essential spaces for aesthetic production.

This volume shows how that interest played out in his design for the Sino-German pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai.

Summary:
Since 1997, architect and installation artist Markus Heinsdorff has focused much of his work on the potential and possibilities afforded by bamboo. This volume shows how that interest played out in his design for the Sino-German pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai. The pavilion, the only binational building at the Expo, employs an innovative two-story bamboo membrane structure, while the rest of the building is composed almost entirely of bamboo canes and laminates. This highly illustrated volume documents the planning and creation of the building, as well as the environmentalist ideology underlying its design. In addition, the book features a chapter that addresses some of Heinsdorff’s other projects, including an airship built in Bali, a treehouse in the canopy of a primeval forest, and a perpetually regrowing bamboo dome.

Catalogue de l'exposition présentée au Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal du 24 mai au 3 septembre 2012. Contemporary art has recently taken a particular interest in the animal world - not surprising given current debates on the evolution of natural history and the unprecedented ecological upheavals taking place in the natural world. This publication offers an opportunity to re-examine just what shapes our experience and understanding of nature and animals through mythology, natural science, ecology, ideology and, increasingly critically, the economy. Twenty artists from Canada and around the world question the place accorded animals and nature in today’s universe. With essays and illustrations presented and organized to remind the reader of a natural history manual, the book reads as an encyclopedia of ideas about animals and their relationship to humans and to art.
