Wir haben von Portugal ausgehend Reisen in die Länder der Europäischen Union (EU) unternommen. Wir wollten verstehen, was die Politik mit der Wirtschaft macht, wie die kulturellen Gegebenheiten wirken, ob die Finanzen solide und Investitionen möglich sind. Unsere in Form von Reiseberichten laufend aktualisierten Eindrücke werden durch zahlreiche Fotos untermauert, die Lust darauf machen sollen, selbst dorthin zu reisen, sich mit den Gegebenheiten dort selbst vertraut zu machen. Alle Reiserouten können kombiniert werden und auch von der jeweiligen Landeshauptstadt (mit Internationalem Flughafen) ausgehen. In diesen Band haben wir die europäischen Länder des Baltikum aufgenommen, die unter touristischen Gesichtspunkten interessant sein dürften. Heutzutage kann sich jeder auf den einschlägigen Seiten der Airlines, der Hotels, der Mietwagen- und Busgesellschaften sowie der entsprechenden Vergleichsportale über Kosten und Risiken unproblematisch und vor allem tagesaktuell selbst informieren. Wir können uns dies also im Interesse eines handlichen Reisebegleiters schenken.

Die Publikation präsentiert Skulpturen, Videos, Leinwände und Teppiche von Halil Altindere und erscheint anlässlich seiner Einzelausstellung in der Pilot Galerie in Istanbul (23.11.2023 - 20.01.2024).Halil Altindere (*1971 in Mardin/Türkei, lebt und arbeitet in Istanbul) setzt sich in seinen Arbeiten häufig mit konkreten politischen Inhalten auseinander, auch mit Bezug auf seine kurdischen Wurzeln und der Multikulturalität in der türkischen Gesellschaft. In seinen Werken beschäftigt er sich mit einer Vielzahl an Fragestellungen und beleuchtet Methoden des Widerstands gegen Macht und Unterdrückung, wobei er sich mit Themen wie Subkulturen, Geschlechterrollen, Popkultur oder der Struktur und Macht von Kunst- und Finanzsystemen beschäftigt.Die Publikation versammelt Arbeiten der letzten drei Jahre, in denen zunehmend die Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Leben Altinderes verschwimmen. Die Folgen der Pandemie, die die Welt erschütterte, finden ebenso Widerhall in seinen Werken wie die neue Vater-Rolle des Künstlers. Darüber hinaus macht Altindere zunehmend von den Möglichkeiten künstlicher Intelligenz Gebrauch und setzt KI-Technologie als eine Art persönlichen Assistenten ein, der eine aktive Rolle im Produktionsprozess seiner Werke einnimmt.
This book highlights the significant role that production artists played when Russian cinema was still in its infancy. It uncovers Russian cinema's connections with other art forms, examining how production artists drew on both aesthetic traditions and modernist experiments in architecture, painting and theatre as they explored the new medium of cinema and its potential to engender new models of perception and forms of audience engagement.Drawing on set design sketches, archival documents and film-makers' memoirs, Eleanor Rees reveals how less-canonical films such as Behind the Screen (Kulisy ekrana, 1919) and Palace and Fortress (Dvorets i krepost¿, 1923), were remarkable from a design perspective, and also provides new readings of well-known films, such as Children of the Age (Deti veka, 1915) and Strike (Stachka, 1925). Rees brings to light information on significant but understudied figures such as Vladimir Egorov and Sergei Kozlovskii, and highlights the involvement of well-known figures such as Lev Kuleshov and Aleksandr Rodchenko. Unlike the majority of late Imperial directors and camera operators, many early-Russian production artists continued to work in cinema in the Soviet era and to draw on practices forged before the 1917 Revolution. In spanning the entire silent era, this book highlights the often overlooked continuities between the late-Imperial and early-Soviet periods of cinema, thus questioning traditional historical periodisations.

The first generation of Russian modernists experienced a profound sense of anxiety resulting from the belief that they were living in an age of decline. What made them unique was their utopian prescription for overcoming the inevitability of decline and death both by metaphysical and physical means. They intertwined their mystical erotic discourse with European degeneration theory and its obsession with the destabilization of gender. In Erotic Utopia, Olga Matich suggests that same-sex desire underlay their most radical utopian proposal of abolishing the traditional procreative family in favor of erotically induced abstinence.2006 Winner, CHOICE Award for Outstanding Academic Titles, Current Reviews for Academic Libraries Honorable Mention, Aldo and Jean Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures, Modern Language Association"Offers a fresh perspective and a wealth of new information on early Russian modernism. . . .
