Book excerpt: NOW UPDATED WITH A NEW EPILOGUE In the summer of 1964, aged twenty, Ray Davies led the Kinks to fame with their number one hit ‘You Really Got Me’. Within months, they were established among the pop elite, swamped by fans and fast becoming renowned for the rioting at their gigs. But Ray’s journey from working-class Muswell Hill to the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame was tumultuous in the extreme, featuring breakdowns, bitter lawsuits, spectacular punch-ups and a ban from entering the USA. His relationship with his brother Dave is surely the most ferocious and abusive in music history. Based on countless interviews conducted over several decades, this richly detailed and revelatory biography presents the most frank and intimate portrait yet of Ray Davies.

Download or read book Strange Devices written by Joshua Reiman and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange Devices is a book that contains 2 essay's, 15 interviews with artists, and 3 reviews of exhibitions that all lead to thoughts on sculpture as neospatial practice.Why hasn't the definition of Sculpture changed? Almost forty years after Rosalind Krauss wrote Sculpture in the Expanded Field, physical works of art continue to splinter and move further from their entrenched institutionalized categorization. In the last twenty years alone, our understanding of what sculpture is has dramatically shifted. But have the discussions surrounding sculpture evolved in tandem? Sculpture is hardly a singular term for an artwork, especially an artwork that inhabits space or is the space itself. Strange Devices frames contemporary sculpture as neospatial production.Essay's included: Strange Devices and Unintentional VicesInterview's included: Janine Antoni, Rina Banerjee, Matthew Barney, Lowry Burgess, Lenka Clayton, Lewis Colburn, Young Joon Kwak, Athena Lynch, Katie Paterson, Charles Ray, Jon Rubin, Arcangelo Sassolino, Shoplifter, Simon Starling, and Julianne Swartz.

Download or read book The Japanese Communist Party written by Peter Berton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an historical overview of the Japanese Communist Party from its foundation to the present. It outlines the development of the party, explores its stance on key issues and discusses how the party has set a high moral tone, avoiding compromising coalitions with other parties, being intolerant of corruption within its own ranks, and frequently and consistently opposing the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. The book also considers the internal nature of the party, which continues to have a mass membership, and which in recent years has softened its former somewhat rigid approach. The book emphasizes the importance for Japan of this moral approach as the conscience of the nation, especially as the present Abe government moves Japan to the right, even though the Japanese Communist Party has never gained power and is never likely to.

Download or read book 60 YEARS OF GROWTH AND EXTRUSION written by Hans Henrik Honnens de Lichtenberg and published by CorpMedia ApS. This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Primo turned 60 in 2019, the enterprise has become one of the largest extruders of custom-made plastic profiles in Europe, serving a wide range of industries. Primo’s anniversary is, however, also a celebration of the many companies that joined us along the way and have now become an integral part of the organisation. For the story of Primo is, to a high degree, the sum of the stories of the 28 businesses that joined us over the years. In that perspective, Primo is a far older company than the 60 years since its inception. In this anniversary book, we will celebrate the various companies and their approaches to plastic extrusion from the very beginning. In Denmark, Primo was one of the extrusion pioneers, but the companies acquired in Norway and Sweden were extruding even earlier – sometimes as the very first in their respective countries. We are telling their stories here along with Primo’s story, and we describe decade by decade how Primo has grown to become an international organisation.
