Sir Michael Craig-Martin CBE RA (b. 1941) is an important figure in British conceptual art, and among the most influential artists and teachers of his generation. Since his rise to prominence in the late 1960s he has moved between sculpture, installation, painting, drawing and print, creating works that fuse elements of pop, minimalism and conceptual art. His work transforms everyday objects – from buckets and ladders to trainers, mobile phones and laptops – with bold colours and simple, uninflected lines. Renowned as an art educator, he has inspired generations of artists, including the YBAs. This handsome book, the catalogue of the largest exhibition of Craig-Martin’s work to have been mounted in the UK, contains thought-provoking texts by the critics Michael Bracewell and Richard Cork, and an illuminating conversation between the artist and the writer Carolina Grau.

O knize Král ve žlutém, mysteriózním souboru hororových a dekadentních povídek z roku 1895, u nás donedávna věděli jen skuteční literární znalci; v současnosti se o toto vpravdě kultovní dílo Roberta W. Chamberse zvedla vlna díky vynikajícímu televiznímu seriálu HBO True Detective / Temný případ. První souborné české vydání Chambersovy knihy vychází tomuto zájmu vstříc, kniha však není zajímavá jen jako vzorník motivů z onoho seriálu - zlověstný "Král ve žlutém" či zapomenutá, děsivá říše zvaná Carcosa mají svou vlastní, mrazivou sílu, a Chambers si ve schopnosti evokovat "hrůzu duše" v ničem nezadá s E. A. Poem, z něhož vycházel, či s H. P. Lovecraftem, jehož zase sám výrazně ovlivnil. Deset povídek, shromážděných v této knize, je toho nejlepším důkazem. Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) byl americký spisovatel a výtvarník; na začátku 90. let 19. století vystudoval malbu v Paříži, kde se také důvěrně obeznámil s moderními uměleckými směry; určující se pro něj stal zejména symbolismus a secese. Jeho nejslavnější dílo, Král ve žlutém, je obecně považováno za klasiku hororového žánru a dočkalo se nesčetných vydání v mnoha jazycích.

Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press he also had to cope with Al Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devastatingly high.

Edward Gordon Craig patří k velkým divadelním vizionářům 20. století. Mezinárodně významná výstava divadelního umění Theaterkunst-Ausstellung 1914 v curyšském Kunstgewerbemuseum představila Angličana Gordona Craiga - a spolu s ním Švýcara Adolpha Appiu - jako významného jevištního reformátora své doby. Craig podpořil svým působením v Curychu nejen reformu činoherního divadla, ale ovlivnil i vznik a vývoj marionetové scény Schweizerisches Marionettentheater (1918-1935).Kniha přibližuje slovem i mnoha ilustracemi Craigovu vizi odosobněného herce a nadloutky. Tato je vysvětlena na pozadí vývoje experimentálního divadla loutek a objektů v průběhu 20. století.Autorka objevila a identifikovala mimo jiné v Collection Craig v Bibliothèque Nationale v Paříži marionety z dílny školy Arena Goldoni, které byly 1914 v Curychu vystaveny. Také zdokumentovala divadelní vědě dosud neznámou Craigovu sbírku nacházející se ve vlastnictví Grafické sbírky v Museum für Gestaltung v Curychu. Tato sbírka je v knize představena veřejnosti.

What exactly is narcissism? An incurable disease set to ruin your future, a habit to be curbed, or a trait to be nurtured? And how can you tell if your partner, child, or even you are a narcissist? Dr Craig Malkin offers a new picture of narcissism, showing us why being called a ‘narcissist’ isn’t necessarily such a bad thing after all.Narcissism is all around us. We are a selfie-obsessed generation, surviving on a steady diet of watching reality shows that celebrate attention-seeking know-and-do-nothings and posting a whopping 500 million tweets a day to document our every thought and whim. But is narcissism really as bad as we have been led to believe?In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist Dr Craig Malkin offers a radically new picture of narcissism, defining it as a spectrum of self-importance, and explaining that everyone falls somewhere on the scale between utter selflessness and total arrogance. He reveals why it is essential to embrace some level of narcissism in order to maintain a healthy sense of self-worth. Feeling special, to a degree, can make us better lovers and partners, courageous leaders, and intrepid explorers.As supportive as it is illuminating, The Narcissist Test is the first and ...
