Istanbul: Arter, 2016. Soft cover. New. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (31 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 125, [2] p., color and b/w ills. Bahar Yörükoglu. Flow through.= Devri daim. [Exhibition catalogue]. Edited by Süreyyya Evren, Ilkay Baliç. In her practice, Bahar Yürüko¿lu brings together the extreme ends of the natural and the human-made, where the urge for reconciling the two creates new spaces that the artist calls neo-scapes. The coming together of these two binaries offer seductive compositions, in which an unabashed embracing of colour, a genuine appreciation of material and a playful use of light entice the viewer into a space where expectations can then be subverted. "Flow Through" takes as its departure point Bahar Yürüko¿lu's experiences during her travels to the Arctic Circle in 2015, both in the summertime, when the sun doesn't set, and during the winter months, when darkness prevails. In the exhibition, the artist creates fictional spaces based on the dualities she observed in the Arctic region; blurring the boundaries between presence and absence, past and future, nature and civilisation, as well as cyclical movements and inevitable transformations, these installations, photographs and videos test the viewer's perceptive capacities, and demand that the dichotomy between the subject and the object is set aside. "Plexiberg" (2016) is a complex layering of material and light where the light emitted from the lens of the projector, bounces off of the surfaces of the physical objects, creating an immersive maze and a visual riddle. Playing heavily with the translation between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, this deconstructed iceberg is accompanied by the sounds of melting ice from the Arctic. The artist's embrace of sensory experience is further amplified in "Pingo" (2016), in which changes in floor elevation demand from the viewer a heightened awareness of the surrounding environment. The soundscape that alternates between birds chirping, the faint techno music from a car radio and the familiar sound of snow crushing under the weight of someone walking that accompanies this installation further simulates the uncategorizable geography of the Arctic landscape, between a desaturated terrain and cultural depository, which the artist characterizes as a "future perfect world." Yürüko¿lu's photographs that follow these installations cut into the supposed fact of the photographic image by complicating it with filters, reflections, disjunctions, collapsing and expanding the picture plane. These unaltered exercises in trompe l'¿il also signify an effort to overcome the limits of Cartesian space. The coda of the exhibition is the non-linear video "The Navigator", in which a flâneuse from the future perfect or the past continuous wanders in the natural landscape, the interiors of buildings in the deserted Soviet town of Pyramiden near Svalbard, or rides on the bus, perhaps a kind of figurative Arctic express. Her ceremonial gestures and primordial signals typify a striving for existential mark-making however transient, or a hope at communication, mimicking the cyclical motions of life, as we flow through., Arter, 2016, 6, Trade Paperback.

Written by Lol Tolhurst, co-founder of The Cure, this book offers a fascinating deep dive into the movers and shakers of goth with stories and anecdotes from Tolhurst's personal memories as well as the musicians, magicians and artists who made it all happen - the people, places and events that made goth an inevitable and enduring movement . Starting with the Origins of Goth, Tolhurst explores early art and literature that inspired the genre and looks into the work of T.S Eliot, Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, Albert Camus and more. He also outlines the path of Gothic forebears and shows how many musicians played in punk bands before transitioning into goth endeavours. Next, he introduces readers to the 'Architects of Darkness' - Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and The Cure - the godfathers of goth who established the genre's roots. Following these early bands, Tolhurst discusses a group he calls the 'Spiritual Alchemists', consisting of bands like Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins and more, who helped the darkness expand into the culture. He also tracks the expansion of the genre overseas, from England to New York, Los Angeles and beyond. Gothic fashion was an important part of the movement as well and Tolhurst discusses the clothing that accompanied and complemented the music. Finally, Tolhurst examines the legacy of goth music and shows how its influence can still be seen to this day across music, film, TV, visual arts, social media and so much more, finally concluding with 'Why Goth matters!' | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery., 0, Hatje Cantz 2012. softcover, 520 pages, 573 illustr. 253 in color29,1 x 24,8 x 5,1 cm. ISBN 9783775733663. In the exploration of abstraction and the Zero avant-garde, of constructive and concrete tendencies, an independent strand of minimalism developed in Germany in the sixties. This publication is devoted to reductionist works by German artists who produced large sculptures, series of visual objects, and action-oriented work concepts, representing a specifically German aspect of Minimal Art as an international phenomenon of the sixties. Essays on minimalist tendencies in Germany in the areas of art, architecture, literature, film, and design of this period expand the context. The catalogue features around one hundred works, most of them part of the Daimler Art Collection, by about forty artists, including artistic stances as diverse as those of Hartmut Boehm, Imi Giese, Hanne Darboven, Hermann Gloeckner, Heinz Mack, Peter Roehr, Charlotte Posenenske, Ulrich Ruckriem, and Franz Erhard Walther.

Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître RAS Associate was a Jesuit trained Belgian Catholic priest, mathematician, astronomer, and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain. He was the first to identify that the recession of nearby galaxies can be explained by a theory of an expanding universe, which was observationally confirmed soon afterwards by Edwin Hubble. He was the first to derive what is now known as Hubble's law, or the Hubble-Lemaître law, and made the first estimation of what is now called the Hubble constant, which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble's article. Lemaître also proposed what later became known as the "Big Bang theory" of the origin of the universe, initially calling it the "hypothesis of the primeval atom"., Harvard University Press, Cambridge 1947 1947, 0, Cambridge, MA : Harvard University Press, 1993.

Synopsis: From Augustus to Constantine, the Roman Empire in the Near East expanded step by step, southward to the Red Sea and eastward across the Euphrates to the Tigris. In a remarkable work of interpretive history, Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria, Judaea, Arabia, and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples, religions, and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop, Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control, he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities, bringing out the different strands of culture, communal identity, language, and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism, early Christianity, and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world, distilling a vast amount of literary, documentary, artistic, and archaeological evidence-always reflecting new findings-this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East., Harvard University Press, 1993, 5<
