Book excerpt: Due to the necessity of having to spend the Coronavirus pandemic in self-isolation, the artist Max Siedentopf turned his own home upside down and captured the results with his camera.

From "invent a new meal," to "make a painting using toothbrush," to "balance all your beauty products," it's all there.

An effective way to combat boredom whenever. ​MAX SIEDENTOPF (*1991 in Windhoek, Namibia)—artist, photographer, video director, freelance art director—was the creative director for the KesselsKramer agency from 2013 to 2020.

Book excerpt: Paintings League versucht, die uralte Frage zu beantworten: "Wie kann man Kunst für Menschen machen, die normalerweise keine Kunst mögen?" Nach vielen Untersuchungen kam der Künstler Max Siedentopf zu dem Schluss, dass Menschen, die Museen und Galerien meiden, oft dieselben sind, die ihre Zeit lieber mit Fußballgucken verbringen würden. Wenn es mit Sicherheit mehr Fußball- als Kunstfans gibt, warum sollte man sich dann nicht auf dieses neu gewonnene Publikum einstellen? Hier versuchte Siedentopf die Lösung zu finden, indem er eine Reihe von Gemälden schuf, die sowohl den kritischsten Kunstliebhaber als auch den ernsthaftesten Fußballfanatiker erfreuen würden. Paintings League ist eine Hommage an ikonische Fußballmannschaften wie den FC Bayern München, Inter Mailand, den FC Chelsea, Manchester United und den FC Barcelona, indem die ikonischen Trikots der Mannschaften in Acryl auf Leinwand gemalt werden. Kunstliebhaber werden den minimalistischen, abstrakten Ansatz und die Pinselstriche der Gemälde zu schätzen wissen, während Fußballfans sich an den Farben ihrer Lieblingsmannschaft erfreuen können. Genau wie beim Fußball funktionieren die Gemälde wie eine Liga. Jedes Gemälde repräsentiert eine unterschiedliche Gruppe von Menschen durch ihre Interessen, Leidenschaften und Hintergründe und versucht letztendlich, der Champion der Paintings League zu sein.

Download or read book Chronicles of Care A Design History of the COVID 19 Virus written by Paul A. Rodgers and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 crisis and the designed interventions that the authors have catalogued in this book prove definitively that design does care. The authors documented this as it evolved every day from the 1st January 2020 to 31st May 2020 inclusive. Then they looked at all of this care and caring from the point of view of design and, by the sheer volume of design interventions they have documented, illustrate that design is good in a crisis. What the Covid-19 pandemic illustrated is that for the first time in modern history, capital was totally irrelevant. Money could not save your life. Only design could. Rapidly designed masks, shelters, hospitals, instructional posters, infographics, dashboards, respirators, sanitisers, virtual and local communities emerged to save us. From January 2020, design became king. The Covid-19 global pandemic presented an ontological reality; design is more than margins or profit. In fact, design became extremely valuable when it stopped concentrating on those things and started to care about peoples’ lives. This brief episode in history is still repositioning the status of design and reconfiguring its signifier from consumption to care. The contents of this book cover the outbreak, lockdown, and the beginning of the reopening in the UK. In between, the book functions as a history of pandemic crisis design interventions. As such it is a “research-in-the-moment project” where we have illustrated our thoughts and insights in tables, charts and diagrams. We have accepted all design interventions as valid and given them the same role and status by presenting each of them in a standard format. No curation. No selection. No position. The task of critical analysis must follow – perhaps by us, certainly by others.

Download or read book Nazi Science written by Mark Walker and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-01-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Mark Walker - a historical scholar of Nazi science - brings to light the overwhelming impact of Hitler's regime on science and, ultimately, on the pursuit of the German atomic bomb. Walker meticulously draws on hundreds of original documents to examine the role of German scientists in the rise and fall of the Third Reich. He investigates whether most German scientists during Hitler's regime enthusiastically embraced the tenets of National Socialism or cooperated in a Faustian pact for financial support, which contributed to National Socialism's running rampant and culminated in the rape of Europe and the genocide of millions of Jews. This work unravels the myths and controversies surrounding Hitler's atomic bomb project. It provides a look at what surprisingly turned out to be an Achilles' heel for Hitler - the misuse of science and scientists in the service of the Third Reich.

Download or read book Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant written by Joel Golby and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *National Bestseller* "This is a funny and beautiful book. What a little bastard." --Russell Brand "Every paragraph is like doing a shot with a friend. A double." --Caitlin Moran Joel Golby's writing for Vice and The Guardian, with its wry observation and naked self-reflection, has brought him a wide and devoted following. Now, in his first book, he presents a blistering collection of new and newly expanded essays--including the achingly funny viral hit "Things You Only Know When Both Your Parents Are Dead." In these pages, he travels to Saudi Arabia, where he acts as a perplexed bystander at a camel pageant; offers a survival guide for the modern dinner party (i.e. how to tactfully escape at the first sign of an adult board game); and gets pitted head-to-head, again and again, with an unpredictable, unpitying subspecies of Londoner: the landlord. Through it all, he shows that no matter how cruel the misfortune, how absurd the circumstance, there's always the soft punch of a lesson tucked within. This is a book for anyone who overshares, overthinks, has ever felt lost or confused--and who wants to have a good laugh about it.

Download or read book Face and Mask written by Hans Belting and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural history of the face in Western art, ranging from portraiture in painting and photography to film, theater, and mass media This fascinating book presents the first cultural history and anthropology of the face across centuries, continents, and media. Ranging from funerary masks and masks in drama to the figural work of contemporary artists including Cindy Sherman and Nam June Paik, renowned art historian Hans Belting emphasizes that while the face plays a critical role in human communication, it defies attempts at visual representation. Belting divides his book into three parts: faces as masks of the self, portraiture as a constantly evolving mask in Western culture, and the fate of the face in the age of mass media. Referencing a vast array of sources, Belting's insights draw on art history, philosophy, theories of visual culture, and cognitive science. He demonstrates that Western efforts to portray the face have repeatedly failed, even with the developments of new media such as photography and film, which promise ever-greater degrees of verisimilitude. In spite of sitting at the heart of human expression, the face resists possession, and creative endeavors to capture it inevitably result in masks—hollow signifiers of the humanity they're meant to embody. From creations by Van Eyck and August Sander to works by Francis Bacon, Ingmar Bergman, and Chuck Close, Face and Mask takes a remarkable look at how, through the centuries, the physical visage has inspired and evaded artistic interpretation.
