‎The Capital's Charterhouses and the Record of English Carthusianism‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xvi + 300 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:23 col., Language: English. ISBN 9780888448361.‎

‎Summary This volume offers a substantial and versatile contribution to the history and culture of the late-medieval Carthusians in England. The nine essays presented here focus primarily on the double charterhouses built on the outskirts of London, at Smithfield and Sheen. Syon Abbey, the Bridgettine house which stood a short distance from Sheen, and was founded at the same time, is also drawn into the conversation because of its sympathetic and practical links to the Carthusians. Particular attention is paid to the London Charterhouse. This institution is revaluated here as an engineered and ornamented structure, a sanctuary nourished by books and texts, a beacon of religion, a theatre of devotion and political manoeuvres and, in the wake of its dissolution, both a dwelling-place for affluent citizenry and a lieu de m moire for the English Carthusians in exile.

‎Zerst rte Architektur bei Pausanias. Ph nomenologie, Funktionen und Verh ltnis zum zeitgen ssischen Ruinendiskurs‎

‎Summary Die Untersuchung stellt sich die Frage, weshalb die ,Periegesis Hellados' des Pausanias aus dem 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. so h ufig Siedlungen und Geb ude im Zustand der Zerst rung thematisiert. Die ,Periegesis Hellados' unternimmt eine r umlich organisierte Zusammenstellung von Wissen, insbesondere zur myth-historischen Vergangenheit sowie zu den Kulten der Griechen, und schreibt sich auf diese Weise in zentrale Diskurse der Zweiten Sophistik ein. Die prominente Rolle, die zerst rte Architektur im Werk des Pausanias spielt, wurde bislang nicht systematisch analysiert. Hier setzt die Untersuchung an. Alle einschl gigen Textpartien werden vorgelegt und innerhalb zweier entscheidender Bezugshorizonte ausgewertet: zum einen im Rahmen der inh renten Logik der ,Periegesis Hellados', zum anderen im Verh ltnis zum zeitgen ssischen Ruinendiskurs. Welch essenziellen Stellenwert die Ruine f r die Programmatik und das Selbstverst ndnis des Textes einnimmt, kann auf diese Weise erstmals umfassend nachgezeichnet werden.

‎Carvers and Customers in Roman Palmyra. The Production Economy of Limestone Loculus Reliefs‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, xiv + 294 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:49 b/w, 39 col., 23 tables b/w., 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503597850.‎

‎Summary Palmyra, located in the Syrian desert, is famous for the portraiture of its citizens, produced when the ancient city was at the height of its powers in the Roman era. At this time, several hundred funerary monuments were built and the Palmyrenes decorated their tombs with numerous portraits. The most common of these are the loculus reliefs that depicted Palmyra's men, women, and children, and were used to close off the niches in tombs behind which the dead were buried. Between AD 50 and AD 273, these stone slabs were produced in sufficient numbers to make Palmyra home to the largest corpus of funerary portraits outside Rome itself. This volume offers a fresh and nuanced analysis of Palmyrene funerary reliefs and their production in order to shed light not just on the people they depicted, but on the individuals responsible for their creation. Across a range of different case studies, the author explores the making of single portraits from the local limestone, examining how Palmyrene carvers worked, the techniques they used, the tools they employed, the ways in which style and technique changed over time, and the mode of production that was in place. Furthermore, the workshops' organization, the interaction between carvers and customers, and their influence on the portraits are explored. In doing so, the volume offers not just a detailed study of limestone carving and the techniques that underpinned Palmyra's famous portraits, but also offers a significant contribution to wider research on funerary portraiture of the city and in Roman Syria.

‎A monumental series of over a hundred color-photographic portraits of Americans. Shot against luminous painted backdrops devoid of any other imagery, each figure is presented alone and calmly posed (except for the corpses). Each image clings to the surface value of the photograph, yet alludes to the subject beneath. This is a work whose sentiment towards its subject matter occurred post-9.11: it opens with the image of a fresh-faced boy scout and closes with the image of "Blood on the Flag." The vast circuitry of lives between these bookends' divides the book into several series, after "America": A History of Sex, The Morgue, Nomads, The Church, Budapest, Bodily Fluids & more.

‎My New York Diary‎

‎, Drawn & Quarterly Publications, 1999 Paperback, 104 pages , ENG, 230 x 155 x 10 mm, As New !, illustrated in b/w. ISBN 9781896597249.‎

‎Julie Doucet is widely regarded as one of the most prominent cartoonists to emerge in the past decade. Now, Drawn & Quarterly is publishing Doucet's third book, her longest and most ambitious story collected for the first time in one beautifully produced softcover edition. The New York Diary documents in compelling and graphic detail the events in Doucet's life during a six-month period in 1991. At that time, she packed her bags and moved to New York and waiting for her in anticipation was her new boyfriend, an aspiring cartoonist himself who took Julie into his upper west side apartment. The excitement of this new beginning was short-lived; gradually, her boyfriend's over-bearing jealousy became more evident, and the confines of her surroundings slowly became more suffocating. Rounding up this new book are two more stories that complete the obsessive-boyfriend triptych: the sad and revealing "My First Time" and the 25-page "Julie in Junior College".‎

‎Unrivalled Art.Spellbinding Artefacts at the Royal Museum for Central Africa‎

‎, Tervuren, Koninklijk Museum voor Midden - Afrika,, 2018 HB, 260 x 215 mm, 176 pages, English edition. FINE. ISBN 9789085867760.‎

‎This book, which is being published to mark the opening of the museum, unveils an ensemble of 77 important works from the collection held by the Royal Museum for Central Africa. A range of academics, conservators, and experts on African art provides an examination and analysis of each of these pieces. Many of the works brought together here can be found in the gallery assigned to the temporary exhibition Unrivalled Art. Others can be encountered in the rooms devoted to the permanent exhibition. And some of the works afford a glimpse behind the scenes at the RMCA, in the hushed atmosphere of the depots, about which the general public is largely unaware. Researcher and curator Julien Volper has selected pieces that come not only from the Congo, but also from other countries, such as Angola or Gabon. Sometimes they are physical testaments to lost cultures dating from the eighth to tenth century, or even dating to tens of thousands of years ago! However, most of the works belong to the more recent period of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All of these masks, statuettes, ivories, weapons, receptacles and other artefacts express a genuine creativity - a creativity described so aptly in 1919 by the theorist Vladimir Markov: '[.] this [African] art is unrivalled anywhere else in the world.'‎

‎Martial Raysse: Dessins/Drawings aantalIn winkelmand New Realistic France, a close friend of the artists of Pop Art in New York and Los Angeles, director of psychedelic films? Raysse is a major artist of the contemporary scene. While his portraits of women of the sixties are become icons and its allegorical frescoes surprise again, Dilecta Publishing has released a book presenting a selection of his drawings, from its beginnings to the present. Still little known, these works on paper are fraught with the same audacity and impertinence that his paintings, eroticism haloed and mythologies updated. One hundred selected drawings constitute this publication, showing the practice of drawing, not as one preparatory step to his paint job, but especially as plastics experiences, very free, allowing him to explore techniques as diverse as mine graphite, pastel or watercolor. After literary studies, in 1959 Martial Raysse made his first assemblages by enclosing small toys and toiletries in transparent boxes, in order to foreground, unfussily, the charge of emotion and visual intensity these cold little objects can hold. In 1960, his Visual Hygiene series of household implements hung around a long-handled scrubbing brush, or sunscreen products and beach toys crowned by an advertising dummy, ushered into the realm of art a world that is new, antiseptic and pure , that of the supermarkets and advertising for the consumer society. This reappropriation of objects that are supremely banal aligned him with the experiments of Arman, Spoerri and Tinguely, with whom he founded the New Realists group in 1960. Soon regarded as the young French artist who came closest to American Pop Art, between 1961 in 1966 Raysse participated in numerous artistic events throughout Europe and the United States. After 1968, Raysse underwent a shift which led him to make a sudden break with the circuit of dealers and galleries, and to withdraw to the south of France. Within the community he formed with a number of friends, he made works using craft techniques, and subsequently returned to the most traditional modes of painting.

‎Paper was a source of pleasure for Magritte. Where his oil paintings demanded meticulousness and patience, this was a medium in which he could give his ideas free rein. Fresh approaches were tried out first on paper - in his correspondence as well as in drawings, collages and gouaches. Magritte's many sketches, grid drawings, scribbles in letters and book illustrations demonstrate the extent to which drawing lay at the core of his work. While this aspect of the artist's oeuvre has rarely been examined, it nevertheless underpins all his painting. His drawings help us understand how his ideas evolved. For the first time, this comprehensive publication brings together more than 200 works on paper by Ren Magritte, many of which have not previously been published.‎

‎Summary Isabel Alfonso is one of the finest scholars on the rural and political history of the European Middle Ages. She is widely known for her contributions to the study of the peasantry, social conflict, and political discourses. Her research has transcended the boundaries of medieval studies, incorporating insights from disciplines beyond including legal anthropology, philology, and discourse analysis, among others. Over her academic career Isabel Alfonso has made a continued effort to make the work of international scholars known in Spain and to communicate advancements in Spanish historiography to international audiences; and yet most of her own research has only been published in Spanish. As a means to acknowledge her long-standing commitment to bridge different historiographies and overcome national boundaries, this unusual Festschrift offers a selection of her most relevant publications, many of which appear in English for the very first time. Each paper is preceded by commentaries by leading scholars that discuss the enduring relevance of Isabel Alfonso,s work, its richness and complexity, and its potential to inspire further research along a vast array of lines.

‎Polity and Neighbourhood in Early Medieval Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xviii + 430 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 39 maps, 6 graphs, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581682.‎

‎Summary How were early medieval people connected to each other and to the wider world? In this collection, archaeologists and historians working in very different areas of early medieval Europe explore diverse evidence - from landscape and burial archaeology to charters and chronicles - to discuss the relationships that constituted neighbourhoods and the roles these played in the processes of state formation that can be observed in the peripheries of the Frankish world. What these case-studies teach us, the contributors argue, is that polities are formed not through the exclusive operation of either top-down or bottom-up agencies, but from the interplay between them. By exploring the ways in which local knowledge, social ties, and understandings of landscape interacted with higher-level authorities and institutions, we can gain real insights into the nature of early medieval power and people's experiences of it. Marking the culmination of a collective effort that has spanned over a decade and three funded projects, this volume brings together case-studies from Spain, Italy, England, northern Frankia, Norway, and Iceland to offer a comparative view of polities and neighbourhoods in early medieval Europe. Drawing on new research, and offering new perspectives driven by an interdisciplinary approach, this volume is of relevance to a range of disciplines including archaeology, history, onomastics, geography, and anthropology.

‎95 POLAROIDS SX70 Juli o Sarmento ‎

‎, MER Paper Kunsthalle, 2012 SC / 168 pages / 24 x 12 cm. ISBN 9789490693411.‎

‎This little Polaroid Atlas is pretty much self explanatory: for many years Sarmento has used Polaroid photographs to work on his pieces, as ?crutches? for his paintings, his drawings and other projects. Sometimes the polaroids were used as artworks by themselves. Other times they were used as portraits of friends or memories of glimpses. Sarmonto gathered all the polaroids he could find in his studio, just randomly lying around or pinned up on walls or wherever... He found 95 of them and organized them in this book. There are no polaroids left in Sarmento's studio now!...‎

‎Bloodline / Heartline Juli o Sarmento ‎

‎, MER. Paper Kunsthalle, 2013 HC / 112 pages / 27 x 21 cm. ISBN 9789490693428.‎

‎The artist Juli o Sarmento grew up with a somewhat complicated background. This book is a testimony to his 'real' biological family and his 'other' foster family. The first part of the book; 'Bloodline', has all the photographs the artist could find of his biological family up to his birth, they show persons he often doesn't feel connected to or hardly knows. 'Heartline' has all the photographs he could find of the two people in his foster family. They are close to his heart, far from his blood. The book is signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of 250 copies. ‎

‎BE, MER.paperkunsthalle, 2012 Hardback, 210x270mm, 112 pages . ill. ISBN 9789490693428.‎

‎I have a very small, complicated and a bit weird family. In fact I almost had two families: my real biological one (a very mysterious group of people some of whom I hardly knew... others I never even met!....) and also some other people who were kind of my foster family. There are very few photographs, or memories left of both of them. "Bloodline" has all the photographs I could find of my real, biological family up to my birth. The existing blood trail up to me, so to speak... "Heartline" has all the photographs I could find of the two people in my foster family. Close to my heart, far from my blood.

‎The Case Study House program (1945-66) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom. The program?s chief motivating force was Arts ‎
