Chintz, a type of multicolored printed or painted cotton cloth, originated in India yet exerted influence far beyond its home shores: it became a driving force of the spice trade in the East Indies, and it attracted European merchants, who by the 17th century were importing millions of pieces. In the 18th century, Indian chintz became so coveted globally that Europeans attempted to imitate its uniquely vibrant dyes and design—a quest that eventually sparked the mechanical and business innovations that ushered in the Industrial Revolution, with its far-reaching societal impacts...

This milestone volume maps fifty years of artists' engagement with sound. Since the beginning of the new millennium, numerous historical and critical works have established sound art as an artistic genre in its own right, with an accepted genealogy that begins with Futurism, Dada, and Fluxus, as well as disciplinary classifications that effectively restrict artistic practice to particular tools and venues. This book, companion volume to a massive exhibition at ZKM | Karlsruhe, goes beyond these established disciplinary divides to chart the evolution and the full potential of sound as a medium of art. The book begins with an extensive overview by volume editor Peter Weibel that considers the history of sound as media art, examining work by visual artists, composers, musicians, and architects alike. Subsequent essays examine sound experiments in antiquity, sonification of art and science, and internet-based sound art. Contributors then survey the global field of sound art research and practice, in essays that describe the past, present, and future of sound art in Germany, Japan, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and Scandinavia. The texts are accompanied by an extensive photographic documentation of the ZKM exhibition.

The field of Sound Studies has changed and developed dramatically over the last two decades involving a vast and dizzying array of work produced by those working in the arts, social sciences and sciences. The study of sound is inherently interdisciplinary and is undertaken both by those who specialize in sound and by others who wish to include sound as an intrinsic and indispensable element in their research. This is the first resource to provide a wide ranging, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary investigation and analysis of the ways in which researchers use a broad range of methodologies in order to pursue their sonic investigations. It brings together 49 specially commissioned chapters that ask a wide range of questions including; how can sound be used in current academic disciplines? Is sound as a methodological tool indispensable for Sound Studies and what can sound artists contribute to the discourse on methodology in Sound Studies? The editors also present 3 original chapters that work as provocative 'sonic methodological interventions' prefacing the 3 sections of the book.

Marian Bantjes’s highly ornamental, craftsman-like word-pictures have earned her professional acclaim and a cult following around the world. There is, however, another side to Bantjes’s visual work: her thoughtful treatises on art, design, beauty and popular culture that belie the decorative nature of her best-known work. These reflections, which range in subject from the cult of Santa, roadside advertising, photography and memory, and heraldry to the alphabet’s letterforms and stars, are superbly showcased in this beautiful book, which is now available in an updated paperback edition.

Here is a lively and lighthearted survey that looks at the role that old and classic fonts from letterpress to slab serifs and beyond play in contemporary graphic design.

Il volume intende offrire un profilo intellettuale di Roberto Salvini come interprete della cultura storico artistica non solo italiana, ma internazionale nei decenni centrali del Novecento. I saggi qui pubblicati ad opera di amici, allievi e giovani ricercatori delineano la sua statura di studioso di respiro europeo e l’ampio spettro dei suoi interessi scientifici centrati sul Medioevo, sul Rinascimento, sull’arte contemporanea secondo una peculiare metodologia legata alla corrente critica della Pura Visibilità e all’iconologia. Di formazione crociana con innesti proprii della cultura germanica che fa capo alla Scuola di Vienna, Salvini ha apportato nell’insegnamento universitario una dimensione sovranazionale che si riverbera anche nella sua impegnata campagna in difesa dei Beni Culturali, come Soprintendente nel periodo del conflitto bellico e poi come Direttore della Galleria degli Uffizi, il cui allestimento delle Sale dei Primitivi rimane come uno dei capolavori della Museografia italiana del dopoguerra.
Salvini ha aperto a molte generazioni di studenti la comprensione della Storia dell’arte come lingua figurativa impostata su problemi di metodo e su fondanti dati storici secondo una rigorosa lettura formale e filologica di cui paradigmatico esempio rimane la monografia su Wiligelmo.

Il volume presenta i risultati delle indagini e degli studi promossi e coordinati dal Comitato scientifico per il restauro del Duomo di Modena tra il 2008 e il 2014, in occasione dell'ultima campagna di restauri che ha interessato il monumento, riconosciuto nel 1997 dall'UNESCO Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Umanità insieme alla torre Ghirlandina e a Piazza Grande. Si tratta di un importante patrimonio di nuovi dati che sono stati raccolti e interpretati grazie a un innovativo approccio interdisciplinare. Essi hanno, da un lato, accompagnato e orientato gli interventi di restauro e consentito, dall'altro, di avvalorare nuove ipotesi interpretative sulle fasi costruttive del monumento e sui suo comportamento nel corso dei secoli, di precisare il progetto originario di Lanfranco e i termini del reimpiego di materiale proveniente dalla città romana.

''Ritmika, dallam és harmónia összefüggéseit folyamatosan változó megközelítések övezték a zenetörténet folyamán. A nyugati zene ezen három dimenziójának együtthatását, azaz magát az ellenpontot különböző stílusokon és különböző tételtípusokon keresztül lehetne bemutatni. Jelen kötet J. S. Bach fúgaszerkezeteivel foglalkozik, mivel ez a terület a zenei szakképzés célkitűzéseinek teljesítéséhez nélkülözhetetlen, és koncentrált formában képviseli a stílusokon átívelő zenei alaptapasztalatoka'' - fogalmaz a Bevezetésben a szerző.
