This book is about the way artists generate an endless chain of substitute objects for something they can never quite find. It explores the work involved in art with a focus upon finding, gathering, and assembling charged and auratic objects on the wall beside the work. The author employs the term Das Gegenwerk or the work towards the work. This concept avoids definitive closure and expands the notion of drafting and related practices to include qualitative research methods. The multi-mode transitional practices of Das Gegenwerk are devoid of any demand for a preconceived goal but instead hinge upon the provisional and indeterminate. As such, it is a far cry from the binary logic of the computer and the design cycle but is of interest to an audience engaged with both. Das Gegenwerk hinges on our capacity to respond to the outside rather than the inwardness often attributed to creative agency. A fundamental belief of the book is that by investigating and adapting the practices of expert practitioners, we can gain an understanding of high-level creativity. It is neither a recipe nor a linear or cyclic approach. Rather, artistic creation is an interweave of transitional multi-mode practices where the overriding emphasis is on the handling or habituation of transitional materials in physical place. The author addresses the urgent need to provide a balance between the promise of new technology and our capacity to both respond to and work with what the world bestows.

Sonia Delaunay's work appears today as fresh and relevant as ever. The modernist pioneer's ingenious color patterns dissolved the boundaries between visual and applied art. She further developed her painterly experiments in fashion, fabric patterns, interior design, book and object art, merging geometric abstraction and the sculptural qualities of pure color.Maison Sonia Delaunay is dedicated to Sonia Delaunay as a mediator between artistic-philosophical design and the beauty of everyday life. It particularly focuses on new research into textiles, fashion, and interior design. Drawing on never-before-published sources, the publication examines her international collaborations with entrepreneurs and artists, and illuminates how she redefines the relationship between art and industry in the process to design for a visionary, modern life.SONIA DELAUNAY (1885, Odessa-1979, Paris) was trained in St. Petersburg, Karlsruhe, and Paris around 1900, and initially established herself as a portrait painter before dedicating her work to abstraction around 1913. With her husband Robert Delaunay, she experimented with the concept of "Simultané" based on the use of intense color contrasts. During a stay in Portugal and Spain in World War I, she expanded her art to the objects of life. Back in Paris in the 1920s, she combined her ambitions in painting and design with her fashion and furnishing house "Sonia Delaunay." Her influence continues to this day, her patterns being as modern as ever.

Wie erzählen Bilder, wie werden sie gemacht, und wie können Kopf und Hand im Kreativprozess ihrer Entstehung zusammenfinden? So einzigartig jedes Bild ist, so individuell sind die ästhetischen Intentionen der jeweiligen Künstlerinnen und Künstler. Das technisch-handwerkliche WIE ist ebenso wie das inhaltliche WAS ein entscheidendes Kriterium für die Qualität eines Bildes.Neben aller Methodik in der Darstellung, den Regeln der Gestaltung und den Phänomenen der Wahrnehmung sind für überzeugend erzählte Bilder noch viele weitere Faktoren von Bedeutung. Dieses Buch fordert dazu auf, wachen Auges die Welt zu hinterfragen, Konventionen abzulegen und sich für andere Denk- und neue Sicht- und Herangehensweisen zu öffnen; sich zu trauen, verspielt zu sein und zu experimentieren - letztlich alle Regeln über Bord zu werfen, um eine ganz eigene künstlerische Individualität zu finden. Der Ansatz der Autorin dieses Buches ist also weniger eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung mit schablonenhaften Schemata, sondern die Fokussierung auf die innere Logik der Dinge, auf deren Zusammenhänge und Relationen sowie auf die Verbindung von Darstellung und Gestaltung.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Design (Industrie, Grafik, Mode), Note: 1,7, AMD Akademie Mode & Design GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Arbeit möchte ich die beiden modetheoretischen Werke "Die Psychologie der Bekleidung" von John C. Flügel und "Die Mode" von Georg Simmel vergleichen. Beide befassen sich mit einem der wichtigsten Konsumgüter der Gesellschaft und mit sowohl dessen Entstehung als auch Wandel. Als erstes gehe ich auf das Werk des britischen Psychoanalytikers Flügel ein, in dem er das Verhältnis der drei Grundfunktionen Schmuck, Scharm und Schutz von Bekleidung thematisiert. Die jeweiligen Funktionen werden von einer Reihe weiteren geprägt, die beispielhaft wiederlegt werden. Anschließend werde ich mich mit den Thesen des Modetheoretiker Georg Simmel auseinandersetzen, der einer der ersten Soziologen und Theoretiker war, der sich mit dem Thema Mode auseinandergesetzt hat. Er hingegen bezieht sich bei diesem Thema auf den Dualismus von Nachahmung und Absonderung in der Gesellschaft. Für Ihn ist das Ganze eine gewisse Klassenmode, bei der die unteren Gesellschaftsebenen, den Oberen nachahmen. Im letzten Teil meiner Arbeit vergleiche ich die Thesen und die Struktur beider Autoren in Ihren Werken und nehme Bezug zur heutigen Zeit.

"A witty and charming account of the wildly entertaining Elsie de Wolfe in 1950s Hollywood, recounted by her dear friend, the beloved creator of Madeline. Ludwig Bemelmans' charming intergenerational friendship with the late-in-life "First Lady of Interior Decoration" provides an enormously enjoyable nostalgia trip to the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles, where de Wolfe surrounded herself with classic movie stars and a luminous parade of life's oddities. With hilarity and mischief that de Wolfe would no doubt approve, To the One I Love the Best lifts the curtain on 1950s Hollywood -- a bygone world of extravagance and eccentricity, where the parties are held in circus tents and populated by ravishing movie stars. Bemelmans, who was working at MGM, had originally come to the California home of de Wolfe just for cocktails but by the end of the night, he was firmly established as a member of the family: given a bedroom in their sumptuous house, invitations to the most outrageous parties in Hollywood, and the friendship of the larger-than-life woman known to her closest friends simply as 'Mother'. To the One I Love the Best (which refers to de Wolfe's dog) is a touching tribute to a fabulously funny woman and an American icon. "Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you." -- Elsie de Wolfe --

An Architectural Record Notable BookA fascinating, thought-provoking journey into our built environmentModern humans are an indoor species. We spend 90 percent of our time inside, shuttling between homes and offices, schools and stores, restaurants and gyms. And yet, in many ways, the indoor world remains unexplored territory. For all the time we spend inside buildings, we rarely stop to consider: How do these spaces affect our mental and physical well-being? Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Our productivity, performance, and relationships?In this wide-ranging, character-driven book, science journalist Emily Anthes takes us on an adventure into the buildings in which we spend our days, exploring the profound, and sometimes unexpected, ways that they shape our lives. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she probes the pain-killing power of a well-placed window and examines how the right office layout can expand our social networks. She investigates how room temperature regulates our cognitive performance, how the microbes hiding in our homes influence our immune systems, and how cafeteria design affects what-and how much-we eat.Along the way, Anthes takes readers into an operating room designed to minimize medical errors, a school designed to boost students' physical fitness, and a prison designed to support inmates' psychological needs. And she previews the homes of the future, from the high-tech houses that could monitor our health to the 3D-printed structures that might allow us to live on the Moon.The Great Indoors provides a fresh perspective on our most familiar surroundings and a new understanding of the power of architecture and design. It's an argument for thoughtful interventions into the built environment and a story about how to build a better world-one room at a time.

Alfredo Häberli, who was born in Buenos Aires in 1964 and has been working from Zurich since the 1980s, is one of the world's most widely acclaimed product designers. Major international brands such as BMW, Camper, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Luceplan, Moroso, Schiffini, or Vitra are among his clients, for whom he has designed furniture, lamps, objects, tableware, or even entire interiors. Häberli's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and has earned him many awards over the years. In the first of this book's two volumes, Häberli looks back at the people, places, and objects that have influenced him and shaped his ideas and creative process. He tells of his visits with the great Italian designers, the British and American role models influencing him, and about inspiring exchanges with colleagues such as Konstantin Grcic, Jasper Morrison, or Patricia Urquiola. Moreover, his encounters with visionary entrepreneurs, and the places, locations, and objects that forged his understanding of design come into focus through text and images. For the second volume, Häberli invited thirty personalities from his circle to ask him one question each, which he answers frankly and in good humor. These personalities include fellow designers, architects, critics, journalists, and creative directors such as Stephen Bayley, Tyler Brûlé, Francesca Molteni, and Alice Rawsthorn.

Susanne Bartsch has been living in New York since 1981, where she has created a dazzling Gesamtkunstwerk through the creation of her iconic looks and legendary parties. As an impresaria, artist-agent, and big-hearted, open-minded hostess, she moves virtuosically at the intersection of fashion, make-up, activism, art, music, and performance. In a career as interior designer, researcher, author, and teacher that has spanned more than five decades, Verena Huber has engaged profoundly with the issues of living and staying. To this day, she continues encouraging people to question spaces and objects and to put them in new contexts. Uncompromising in her approach and always looking beyond national borders, she has been hugely influential in contemporary Swiss interior design. Since the early 1980s, artist Beat Streuli has used photography and video to create works of strong visual force. Although cityscapes form the backdrop of his images, it is always people rather than architectural or structural elements that are in his focus. Streuli's images have made him one of the world's foremost exponents of street portraiture. Switzerland's Federal Office of Culture has awarded the 2022 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Susanne Bartsch, Verena Huber, and Beat Streuli. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and interview as well as a brief biography, illustrated with images from their archives.
