Book excerpt: German painter David Ostrowski (born 1981) widens his spectrum of meditations on the color red with The Thin Red Line. Ostrowski has long experimented with chromatic hues on white or neutral background, but it took him almost a decade to go back to investigating the scarlet shade--a coloring bearing social and cultural implications, besides playing a fundamental part on the history of painting. Made using found material and canvases painted with acrylic and lacquer, Ostrowski's recent work are an exploration of the absence and presence of the color. Published on the occasion of the same-titled solo show, the artist's first with Sprüth Magers in London, in collaboration with Karma Books, the catalog--characterized by a red Pantone that changes its tone when printed on the pages made of three different papers, mirroring the artist's chromatic research--is to be considered as further piece of the exhibition, featuring a series of texts Ostrowski commissioned from writers and academics, with the word "red" as the only instruction.
Download or read book Business English through Coaching and Conversation written by David Ostrowski and published by David Barkham. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching English Online - Business English through Coaching and Conversation - Full Ebook - 195 pages Are you an existing Online English Teacher with a desire to incorporate Business English into your teaching arsenal? Or, perhaps, you're planning to pursue Online Teaching as either a full-time profession or side-hustle. Whichever box you fall into, this Ebook could be for you! As an experienced Online English Teacher with a background in HR and over 20 years of work experience, I largely specialise in Business English, teaching via the popular language-learning platform, Italki, in addition to offering private lessons on my website. The vast majority of my students are B1-C2 level ADULT PROFESSIONALS based in Russia, and across Europe. Many work in particular fields such as IT, Banking and HR. Students such as these may be working for an international company, are relocating to an English-speaking country, or may simply want to focus on their interview technique. The issue is, however, is that much of the Business English material available to teachers has a tendency to focus on overly-formal language, outdated situations and generalised vocabulary which may not be relevant to individual students. Also, professionals may be able to describe the technical intricacies of their job role, but struggle when it comes to discussing behaviours. 2020 has also seen a change in Business English. Boardroom meetings have turned into Zoom calls, Job Interviews take place over Skype, and the use of informal language on modern communication platforms has become far more prominent. This Ebook is split into three simple parts - WHY, HOW, AND WHAT. The 'Why' section is aimed at teachers who may have little to no experience in teaching Business English. What types of student need to improve their Business English through coaching and conversation? For what reasons? In what situations do students need to improve their Business English? The 'How' section describes useful teaching techniques I have used, such as an adapted PPP lesson plan, methods of building writing capability, a behavioural interview focus, and much more! Classroom lessons and textbooks for advanced students are not necessarily useful. Advanced students want to have a conversation, build their confidence and learn new, relevant vocabulary. Keeping this in mind, the 'What' section consists of over 60 behavioural, skills-based, issues-based, and industry-specific conversational lesson plans. Each lesson plan contains useful prompts for the teacher, relevant phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations for the student to use during a lesson, in addition to pre-work/technical prompts for both the student and teacher in the industry-specific topics. These lesson plans will last you forever!! You can also find examples of behavioural interview questions which are typically asked in modern times, particularly around failure and reflection, leadership skills and more, instead of the typical "What are your strengths and weaknesses" questions. Overall, Business English students need support with confidence. This can only be achieved through 1-2-1 coaching and conversation. If you are an existing, experienced teacher who would simply like to have some useful lesson plans to hand, you can purchase the lesson plans-only version from this site. Happy Teaching!

Book excerpt: The instruments in David Ostrowski's work, beside the canvas itself, are spray paint or materials such as paper, strips of wood, newspapers or cardboard, which he finds in his studio. Often found materials, for instance a piece of cardboard with paint residue, or a single spray-painted line, find their way onto the canvas. Even the dust which the canvas absorbs from lying on the studio floor becomes an element of the composition. When Ostrowski talks about the act of painting, he mentions the inclusion of the error, injecting itself into the work coincidentally and uncontrollably in equal measure, ultimately determining the composition.

Download or read book The Turn to Provisionality in Contemporary Art written by Raphael Rubinstein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his influential essay “Provisional Painting,” Raphael Rubinstein applied the term “provisional” to contemporary painters whose work looked intentionally casual, dashed-off, tentative, unfinished or self-cancelling; who appeared to have deliberately turned away from "strong" painting for something that seemed to constantly risk failure or inconsequence. In this collection of essays, Rubinstein expands the scope of his original article by surveying the historical and philosophical underpinnings of provisionality in recent visual art, as well as examining the works of individual artists in detail. He also engages crucial texts by Samuel Beckett and philosopher Gianni Vattimo. Re-examining several decades of painting practices, Rubinstein argues that provisionality, in all its many forms, has been both a foundational element in the history of modern art and the encapsulation of an attitude that is profoundly contemporary.

Download or read book Mystic Fiasco How the Indians Won the Pequot War written by David R. Wagner and published by Digital Scanning Inc. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American histories have long held that in May 1637---"Connecticut's Birthday"---a small force of English colonists guided by Mohegan Native allies set out to break the back of Pequot dominion in New England. According to Alfred E. Cave's The Pequot War and other accounts, the English and Mohegans supposedly marched "undetected" across multiple Indian territories, and at the Pequot village of Missituc on the Mystic River, trapped and killed between 300 and 700 men, women and children---thus launching the northern English colonies' first "total war" against Native Americans. What new understandings emerge when, for the first time, readers can examine these records and traditions against the actual landscape? What were the realities of New England tribal life, and of Native American war, in the 1600s? If the colonists of Massachusetts Bay and Hartford were in their own words "altogether ignorant" of how to locate, identify, fight, and control Native peoples, how did thoroughly-intermarried Pequots, Mohegans, Narragansetts and others exploit these crucial English blind-spots with astonishing, subtle and yet plainly visible counter-strategies? Why were guns, armor and European assault-tactics the wrong means of war in New England? What were the consequences near and far of the colonies' refusals to adjust? Tracking every step of The Pequot War from its origins to its aftermath and influences, Mystic Fiasco is its most comprehensive and detailed study. Its basis in the landscape exposes the fundamental but unexamined paradigms that hard-wired the American colonial psyche from those days to these. With user-friendly maps and illustrations by renowned historical artist David R. Wagner and the documentary expertise of historian Jack Dempsey, Mystic Fiasco is filled with resources that empower you to go and discover this "Mystic Massacre" and Pequot War for yourself.
Download or read book Skua written by Peter C. Smith and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2007-03-28 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blackburn Skua was the first monoplane to be designed and built for the Royal Navy in the 1930s. As a result of continued debate, it became a compromise between the Navys desire for a carrier-based dive-bomber and RAFs preference for a fighter. Despite being the first to shoot down a Luftwaffe aircraft in World War II, early operations in Norway found the type woefully inadequate as a fighter.As a dive-bomber, the Royal Navy put the design to good use from the outset of WWII. It was involved with the hunt for the Graff Spee, sunk the major warship Koln, suffered with great loss in an attack on the Scharnhorst, helped to keep the German advance at bay during the Dunkirk evacuation and attacked the French rogue battleship Richelieu in the Mediterranean.This book relates how the final design was created, how the dive-bombing technique was developed and perfected by naval pilots and traces the wartime operational career of the type with many first-hand accounts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andy Warhol bequeathed us the words "Death can really make you look like a star." But death per se is not a catalyst for the relevance of an artist.

The handbook by Loretta Würtenberger presents the possible legal framework, appropriate financing models, as well as the proper handling of the market, museums, and academia. Her business, Fine Art Partners, has advised artists and artists' estates for many years in their structuring and development of estate concepts as well as in operative questions. Based on numerous international examples, the author explains the different alternatives for maintaining an artist's estate and makes recommendations on how to ideally handle work, archives, and mementos following the death of an artist.

Download or read book Contemporary Painting World of Art written by Suzanne Hudson and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international survey of contemporary painting by a leading author features artwork from over 250 renowned artists whose ideas and aesthetics characterize the painting of our time. The twentieth century brought radical changes in art—including the shift from modernism to postmodernism—which were accompanied by fierce debates regarding the place of painting in contemporary culture. Contemporary Painting argues that the medium has not only persisted in the twenty-first century but expanded and evolved alongside changes in art, technology, politics, and other factors, developing a unique energy and diversity. Renowned critic and art historian Suzanne Hudson offers an intelligent and original survey of the subject, organized into seven thematic chapters, each of which explores an aspect of contemporary painting, from appropriation to the ways in which artists address and engage the body. Hudson’s inclusive and compelling text is sensitive to issues such as queer narratives, race, activism, and climate and demonstrates the continued relevance of painting today. Bringing together more than 250 eminent artists from around the world, such as Cecily Brown, Julie Mehretu, Theaster Gates, Kara Walker, Kehinde Wiley, Takashi Murakami, and Zhang Xiaogang, this is an essential volume for art history enthusiasts, students, critics, and practitioners interested in discovering how painting is approached, reimagined, and challenged by today’s artists.
Download or read book Postinternet Art and Its Afterlives written by Ian Rothwell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the ‘postinternet’ art of the 2010s, this volume explores the widespread impact of recent internet culture on the formal and conceptual concerns of contemporary art. The ‘postinternet’ art movement is splintered and loosely defined, both in terms of its form and its politics, and has come under significant critique for this reason. This study will provide this definition, offering a much-needed critical context for this period of artistic activity that has had and is still having a major impact on contemporary culture. The book presents a picture of what the art and culture made within and against the constraints of the online experience look, sound, and feel like. It includes works by Petra Cortright, Jon Rafman, Jordan Wolfson, DIS, Amalia Ulman, and Thomas Ruff, and presents new analyses of case studies drawn from the online worlds of the 2010s, including vaporwave, anonymous image board culture, ‘irony bros’ and ‘edgelords’, viral extreme sports stunts, and GIFs. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, and digital culture.
