Exhibiting Craft and Design: Transgressing the White Cube Paradigm investigates the firmly-established manner in which craft and design have typically been presented by museums and galleries, what strategies curators have employed throughout the twentieth century, and especially in more recent years how exhibiting design and craft objects challenges the notion of the modernist White Cube display paradigm.
The Memory Factory introduces an English-speaking public to the significant women artists of Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century, each chosen for her aesthetic innovations and participation in public exhibitions. These women played important public roles as exhibiting artists, both individually and in collectives, but this history has been silenced over time. Their stories show that the city of Vienna was contradictory and cosmopolitan: despite men-only policies in its main art institutions, it offered a myriad of unexpected ways for women artists to forge successful public careers. Women artists came from the provinces, Russia, and Germany to participate in its vibrant art scene. Ho...

The authors in this volume believe that long-term, profound, and sometimes tumultuous changes in the last five hundred years of the history of China have been no less geographical than social, political, or economic. From the dialectics of local-empire relations to the imperial state’s persistent array of projects for absorbing and transforming ethnic regions on the margins of empire; from the tripling of imperial territories in the Qing to the disputes over the identity of the former “outer zones” in the early Republican era; and from the universalistic imagination of “all-under-heaven” to the fraught processes of re-drawing a new set of nation-state boundaries in the twentieth century, the study of the dynamics of geography, broadly conceived, promises to provide insight into the contested development of the geographical entity which we, today, call 'China.'

’Blik for lyd’ handler ikke om at slå blikket ned eller lukke øjnene i. Den handler derimod om at slå ørerne ud og holde blik, ører og tænkning åbne for lyd og dermed for de øvrige sensoriske modaliteter, som til stadighed henvender sig til os gennem medier og artefakter, i byen og i vores hverdag. ’Blik for lyd’ introducerer som den første bog på dansk et internationalt stort og voksende fag- og forskningsfelt, ’Sound Studies’, som stadig er i boblende udvikling, og som er markant interdisciplinært. Bogen henvender sig derfor til så forskellige fagområder som medie-, sprog-, it- og kommunikationsfag, kunst- og kulturfag, geografi-, arkitektur- og naturvidenskabelige fag samt handels- og organisationsfag. Det sker gennem otte forskellige bidrag, som med lyttende og analytisk afsæt undersøger forskellige lydfænomener i kontekst: fra lyd i film, musikvideo, reklamer, lydkunst og lydbøger til lyd og urbanitet – lyd og lokalitet.

Every politics is an aesthetic. If necropolitics is the (accelerated) politics of what is usually referred to as the ‘apolitical age’, what are its manoeuvres, temporalities, intensities, textures, and tipping points? Bypassing revelatory and reconstructionist approaches – the tendency of which is to show that a particular site or practice is necropolitical by bringing its genealogy into evidence – this collection of essays by artist-philosophers and theorist curators articulates the pre-perceptual working of necropolitics through a focus on the senses, assignments of energy, attitudes, cognitive processes, and discursive frameworks. Drawing on different yet complementary methodologi...
