MODERNISM. Essays on Finnish Modernism.
, Design Museum , 2010 Softcover, 127 pages. 2010. illustrated, IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE. ISBN 9789529878680.
Proceeding from an international perspective and various starting points, Essays on Finnish Modernism approaches phenomena in Finnish architecture and design that entail the problematic of modernism. The themes of the book are the main elements of modernism, such as the emergence and development of mass production, changes in consumer habits, improvements to the quality of life and emphasis in design on the problems of increased equality. Although modernism was introduced into Finland around the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, modern design did not become part of the lives of ordinary consumers until the 1950s, as the Secon Wold War halted the developments that had begun in the 1930s. Modernism is of topical interest. In 2009, the anniversary of the bauhaus School was celebrated in Germany. Founded by the architect Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919, the Bauhaus has remained, despite its small scope and brief duration, a symbol of modernism and its most prominet torchbearer.
Way of the Moderns. Six Perspectives on Modernism in Music
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 172 pages, Size:190 x 290 mm, Illustrations:16 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503597737.
Summary Exploring the concept of musical modernism from many different perspectives?including the audience's often initial rejection; the dominance of popular genres; the blurring of musical genres and categories; the alleged incapacity of modernism to express feelings and its intellectual aloofness; the struggle for an audience in times of a distracting attention economy; the transition from modernist to postmodernist aesthetics; the multicultural and collaborative aspects of many recent musical creations; and the need for questioning the ethics of musical works?they present a non-systematic and yet insightful assessment of some of the crucial issues around contemporary music. The texts address the changing consumption, creation, contexts, and valuations of today's concert music and, at the same time, highlight the agency of its practitioners?composers, performers, scholars, critics, and the audience?who pursue ?the way of the moderns.?
