Gestaltung der Grundlagen | Ulrich Binder, Ruedi Wyss
CHF 16.00
Aus dem Gestalterischen Propädeutikum der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste
Die in diesem Band versammelten Fragen sind nicht frei erfunden. Sie werden von jungen Menschen gestellt, die im Ungewissen darüber sind, ob sie sich für eine gestalterische Ausbildung oder eine künstlerische Laufbahn entscheiden sollen. Sie möchten mehr wissen über die Voraussetzungen und was sie im ersten Jahr der Ausbildung und auch später an der Kunsthochschule erwartet.
In kurzen und verständlichen Texten gibt der Autor, selbst Dozent des Propädeutikums, des Vorbereitungskurs an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Antworten auf diese Fragen. Zusammen mit dem umfangreichen Bildmaterial, das zu einer kleinen Geschichte der Gestaltungsanweisungen zusammengestellt ist, wird dieses kleine Handbuch so für alle Lehrenden und Lernenden im Bereich von Gestaltung und Kunst lesenswert.

ZHdK – A Future for the Arts | Hans-Peter Schwarz (ed.)
CHF 118.00
What do actors Bruno Ganz and Johanna Bantzer have in common with photographers Olaf Breuning and Ernst Scheidegger, or film directors Fredi M. Murer and Andrea Staka with dancer Kusha Alexi? Along with designers Adrian Frutiger and Max Bill, musicians Anne-Sophie Mutter and Yuka Tsuboi, artists Augusto Giacometti and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and actors Gustav Knuth and Laura de Weck, they all studied at Zürich’s legendary art schools.
In August 2007, these institutions, which were previously separated by discipline, merged to form one of Europe’s most multifaceted and significant art education centers, the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Published to mark its founding, ZHdK—A Future for the Arts recounts the history of the previous schools, examines the importance of their well-known alumni, and sets forth ambitious goals for the future of the institution. With over seven hundred color illustrations and accompanied by a companion CD and DVD, this volume traces the history of Swiss art education and features perspectives that span the entire curriculum. ZHdK—A Future for the Arts is not just a portrait of a single university, but a rendering of Swiss cultural history of the past fifty years.

Actor & Avatar | Dieter Mersch, Anton Rey, Thomas Grunwald et al. (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
A Scientific and Artistic Catalog
What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles.
We often think art’s all about money. Rather, it’s about energy. Immersing yourself in Lake Zurich, a hedge-fund office, a botanical garden, or a land-art piece built on ruins, is it possible to discern an energy particular to art? Art as a form of energy capable of encompassing the whole of life, more powerful than finance and its algorithms? Art as science or speculative fiction? We dwell in castles with Schrödinger’s cat until we give form to the formless: molecules and failed soldiers, art spaces previously owned by the mafia. We share tips about the tricks of the trade—only to intervene, emancipate, culminate, collapse, and (re)emerge. Let us look everywhere for ideas, and let us be gloriously out of touch: may we grow our capacity and courage to love. Catastrophism, miniskirt, particle.
