Taschen Dadaisme Elger Dietmar

Революционное движение Дада, возникшее в разгар Первой мировой войны, основывалось на радикальном неприятии истеблишмента. С 1916 по середину 1920-х годов художники из Цюриха, Кельна, Ганновера, Парижа и Нью-Йорка яростно выступали против политики, ценностей и культурного конформизма того времени • Используя ключевые работы некоторых из самых известных представителей Дада, таких как Тристан Тцара, Марсель Дюшан, Ханна Хёх, Курт Швиттерс, Франсис Пикабиа и Ман Рэй, книга Дитмана Эльгера "Дадаизм" представляет это подрывное и решительное движение 20-го века и исследует его огромное влияние на современное искусство • Книга на немецком языке • Wie Dada das Establishment aufmischte • Die inmitten der Brutalität des Ersten Weltkriegs entstandene revolutionäre Dada-Bewegung fußte auf der radikalen Ablehnung des Establishments

In the early part of the 20th century, it refuted the reign of clear, indisputable forms and confronted audiences instead with vivid visual poems devoid of conventional representational imagery and characterized by allegories of emotion and sensation • This radical artistic adventure established new artistic means, as much as narratives.

BIG’s third installment of its TASCHEN trilogy: Formgiving. An Architectural Future History • Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time. The Danish word for “design” is “formgivning,” which literally means to give form to that which has not yet taken shape. In other words, to give form to the future. Using our power to give form, rather than allowing the future to take shape, is more important now than ever, as humankind’s impact on the planet continues to increase and pose ever greater challenges to all life forms. Architecture plays a special role by proposing spaces for our lives that are fragments of the future in the making. William Gibson’s words embody architecture’s role perfectly: “The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed
