A world-leader through its work as artist in residence centre where practice using the ceramic material is hosted, and a world-leader through its work as institution where the innovative use of this material in all areas of design and the visual arts is promoted. Though carrying an intrinsically global reach it is an institution rooted deeply in the very unique cultural history of the Netherlands, a fundamental factor in any discussion of its behaviour and one that is emphasised appropriately in this study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high regard with which the EKWC is appreciated is recognised throughout the wider visual arts, across borders as well as much further afield. By the thousands of individuals who have either already passed through its doors as temporary, invited or guest residents or by the many who remain eager to do so in future. By a wide range of related organisations, either other residence centres, art academies, individual ceramic studios, conference administrations, biennials or symposia that see the EKWC as the role model on which to base their own practice. And by theoreticians, critics, journalists and politicians who have each come to recognise the leading position of the EKWC and its lasting theoretical impact in countless articles, journals, reports, catalogues and all manner of other published material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat the centre may be regarded so highly within just one of these groups would make it worthy of further attention. That it is acknowledged equally significantly across multiple fields makes it clearly a special case indeed. In keeping with an organisation so highly regarded an extensive degree of documentation exists which recognises the work undertaken by this centre. What though is apparent throughout this recognition is that it has remained by and large precisely that.

It describes the complex system of operation that exists throughout the entire organisation, a system that has matured and been refined over the course of the previous four decades.

It explains how the nature of this work is influenced by prevailing circumstances and decision-making, be they of a logistical, directorial or theoretical nature. It is a demystification of previously unidentified interrelationships which explains how the interactive nature of an organisation such as the EKWC impacts on those working within it, and subsequently how it influences a much wider community outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study can be seen as important and of interest to a potentially wide and eclectic audience both within and outside the visual arts, ceramic and design fields. To artists, ceramists, designers as well as other individuals in the art world who are able to understand the practical relevance for application to their own activity. To those either already involved in or who wish to take part in the artist in residence field. To other organisations across the wider visual arts, design and ceramic fields who could use the identified system in place at the EKWC as basis for their own future development. To universities and art and design academies who could apply aspects of the Centre's successful operation to their own institutions. And to potentially countless organisations outside the visual arts whose practice may at first seem unrelated but who could use the excellence of practice supported by the EKWC as a model from which to develop similar innovative behavior within their own organisations.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisual artist and researcher Nick Renshaw (PhD) maintains studios in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and in Xiamen, southern China.

But the fascinating research material (an archive of stains), and the wonderful work of artist Lizan Freijsen that has come out of it, have here been tackled by an equally possessed graphic designer. The result is a beautifully designed book that radiates energy and on every level does full justice to the archive. The grid ensures a good balance in the truly exciting typography, for in this multilingual book Engish, French and Dutch become as it were the material that has been spat out of the archive itself and here threaded through the book: the English from top to bottom, the French from bottom to top, and the Dutch from left to right. It is up to the reader to turn the book so that the language required is presented in a readable way. That the photographic material remains upright hem upside down goes withoug saying, but to threat the text the same ways is a good solution. There was some discussion about the legibility of the French and Dutch - but the text aren't excessively long and readers of this book will have to be slightly fanatical anyway.

With an eye on creativity, political ideologies, traveling, and migration and with a range of research locations from West Africa, the Middle East, and Western Europe to Southeast Africa and the Balkans, the participants set out to understand how people remember the past, strive for a better future, or think about alternatives in an entangled world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the course of the exhibition project, seven research-art collaborations evolved and developed these themes into artistic positions.

The experience of these cooperations\/collaborations tells about the dynamics, possibilities, and limitations of academic-artistic co-working practice in general. Rather than providing definite answers, the coming together of research and art creates a third space of openings and experimental formats of reflection and engagement where the world can be conceived in new and different ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAuthors\/Artists:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMohamed Abdelkarim, Francesca Bayre, Metod Blejec, Esra Ersen, Vanessa Díaz Rivas, Gemuce, Knut Graw, Bettina Gräf, Karem Ibrahim, Maher Sherif and the Iskenderiyan Standards group, Aïssatou Mbodj, Leyla von Mende, Charlotte Menin, Anissa Michalon, Nástio Mosquito, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Pere Ortín, Samuli Schielke, Arndt Schneider, Daniela Swarowsky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/old.japsambooks.nl\/uploads\/paragraphs\/01_isoebookpagespreadknutandcharlotte1\/01_isoebookpagespreadknutandcharlotte1_350x255.jpg\" class=\"%22image-center\" align-bottom=\"\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/old.japsambooks.nl\/uploads\/paragraphs\/02_isoebookpagespreadgemuce1\/02_isoebookpagespreadgemuce1_350x255.jpg\" class=\"%22image-center\" align-bottom=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/old.japsambooks.nl\/uploads\/paragraphs\/03_isoebookpagespreadesra\/03_isoebookpagespreadesra_350x255.jpg\" class=\"%22image-center%22\/\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/old.japsambooks.nl\/uploads\/paragraphs\/04_isoebookpagespreadbettinaandmohamed2\/04_isoebookpagespreadbettinaandmohamed2_350x255.jpg\" class=\"%22image-center%22\/\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/old.japsambooks.nl\/uploads\/paragraphs\/05_isoebookpagespreadanissaandaissatou1_copy1\/05_isoebookpagespreadanissaandaissatou1_copy1_350x253.jpg\" class=\"%22image-center%22\/\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cvideo controls=\"controls\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/313634b9d83642dda7a74aebef28a04b.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e\nYour browser does not support our video.\n\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e","brand":"Andrea Heister, Samuli Schielke, Daniela Swarowsky (red.)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28824124178,"sku":"id_00121","price":24.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1556\/6589\/products\/isoe_cover.jpg?v=1481879121"},{"product_id":"jan-van-munster-licht-light","title":"Jan van Munster Licht | Light","description":"\u003cp\u003e+++ +++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+++Peter Lodermeyer+++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e978-94-90322-25-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eGraphic designer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSepp Bader\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eNumber of pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e170\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eBook size\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23,5 x 31,3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dutch | German | English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease date: April 27, 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication was made possible with the support of the Mondriaan Fund.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectric light as a theme and 'material' (in the broadest sense) of art plays an important role in the oeuvre of Dutch artist Jan van Munster (1939-2024).

What does it mean to be local in a multicultural and cosmopolitan context? Where do animals live and where are they killed? Should they have something from everything or just serve potatoes? Can a wild boar be organic? What if there was a wet summer and the harvest drowns in rain? Where do the rural and the urban meet?

Dan focuses on the use, the experience, the meaning and the emotional value of architecture and urban environments. Through his observations of the city, his explorations of neighborhoods, his contacts with dwellers and visitors, and through his research of traditions, Calin Dan developed an almost psychoanalytical way of looking at things. His work is an original blend of personal observations, folklore, historical facts and architectural analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject of \u003cem\u003eEmotional Architecture 4\u003c\/em\u003e is the MinVROM building in The Hague. It is not only a strong architectural and urban landmark; but it is also a turning point in the way public architecture articulates with political representation in the Netherlands. MinVROM was the last project directly and purposefully commissioned by a government body to an architect's office, according to a vision stemming from ideological, political and representational values. From there on, economic arguments helped the decision to give up the idea of the government (or government bodies) as client and beneficiary of a pre-designed vision, and to substitute it with a relation landlord-tenant, where government institutions will let building units developed independently, by teams of architects, developers and urbanists.  Such a decision has deep impact on the relationship between the political and the social bodies, as the first withdraws from the public domain into a neutral, almost image-less position, comparable to the one of the corporations migrating from station to station, according to momentous priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Calin Dan, Judith Angel, Adela Marcu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28824123602,"sku":"id_00113","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1556\/6589\/products\/omslag_emotionalarchitecture4_low.jpg?v=1481879144"},{"product_id":"hans-van-houwelingen-undone","title":"Hans van Houwelingen: Undone","description":"\u003cp\u003e+++ +++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+++Mihnea Mircan [editor-in-chief], Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei [managing editor]+++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e978-94-90322-34-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eGraphic designer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetahaven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eNumber of pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e352\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eBook size\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20,5 x 12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish| Dutch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease date: November 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication has been made possible, in part, by the financial support of Stroom Den Haag, Extra City, Fonds BKVB and Stichting Stokroos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information: \u003ca title=\"%22hvh%22\" href=\"%22http:\/\/www.hansvanhouwelingen.nl\/%22\"\u003ewww.hansvanhouwelingen.nl \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, the book \u003ca title=\"%22St-en%22\" href=\"%22http:\/\/japsambooks.nl\/en\/books\/special-offers\/stiff\/108%22\"\u003eSTIFF.

Correcting the historical inaccuracy in their placement could trigger a crucial reevaluation of the politician's and the philosopher's legacies, in relation to today's political and moral unrest. 'Sluipweg' relocates over 300 disinterred tombstones as a footpath circling the ramparts of Fort Vijfhuizen, a defense construction rendered obsolete, the very moment it was completed, by advancements in military technology. The work collapses two forms of death and two ways in which death absents the categories we employ to make sense of it. Van Houwelingen's 'National Monument to the Guest-Workers' proposes that the 'Bijenkorf Construction', Naum Gabo's sculpture in central Rotterdam, is officially attributed to the descendants of guest-workers, bound to carry out the restoration of the neglected, latent monument, but also to channel its politically agnostic metaphors into a collective statement, uttered at what might be the threshold to a post-multicultural era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the three projects is discussed by three authors.

The two land masses are comparable in size, but apart from that, totally different. Surtsey is a spontaneous impulse of nature, accessible only for research. Zuidas is a former marshland changed by human intervention into a business district on the most expensive dirt in the Netherlands. The question is, where can one find real nature? On Surtsey, where the ordinary human presence is taboo? Or in Zuidas, where the city drives out nature?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the artists\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElodie Hiryczuk (b. 1977 Avignon, FR) and Sjoerd van Oevelen (b. 1974 in Steenbergen, NL) studied respectively Audio Visual Arts (VAV) and Architectural Design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Art and Design in Amsterdam.

Their role was to appropriate, classify, and display cultural artifacts and sometimes even human beings. Though they claimed to reveal the pre-supposed cultural essence of the non-European other, such displays further entrenched the stereotypes of a eurocentric scientific and cultural status quo. In other words, it was by means of the inclusion of other cultures rather than their exclusion, that the colonial power constructed and affirmed itself within the enlightened modern institution, enhancing a privileged position from where it could unilaterally represent the rest of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe works in \u003cem\u003eDuet for Cannibals\u003c\/em\u003e present a wide range of approaches to this debate by departing from historical strata of colonial archives, post-war cultural imperialism and countercultural forms of metropolitan creole-subcultures. \u003cem\u003eDuet for Cannibals: Forms of Cultural Appropriation\u003c\/em\u003e  deals with colonialism and cannibalism as forms of cultural appropriation.

GA has neither studios nor exhibition space, but rather provides artists with the opportunity to realize projects using the social, cultural and economic networks of the area and beyond. Each year, circa six research and development grants are awarded to artists and creative practitioners, to develop ideas for projects in relation to the extraordinary environment of the Lake District. The GA programme actively engages with the complexities of the rural situation.

As a graduate form the prestigious Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in London, Henrik Vibskov has in less than nine years created an image of himself as a worldwide avantgarde designer of innovative clothing, as an electronic musician in collaboration with Anders Trentemøller and Mikael Simpson, and as an artist with exhibitions at PS1 and MoMA in New York, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and Zeeuws Museum in Middelburg, the Netherlands.\u003cbr\u003eIf one is puzzled by this enormous and versatile activity, perhaps part of the explanation lies in the fact that Henrik Vibskov doesn't isolate his interests but lets fashion design, installation art, performance theatre and music go hand in hand to create an entirely new expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick glance at contemporary art tells us that the idea of joined works of art has not been discarded. On the contrary. Constantly challenging the traditional conception of art, the artist of today works with an ocean of references from politics and popular culture to globalization, climate change, fashion, consumption, design and architecture. Where the avant-garde earlier\u003cbr\u003ewas a counter reaction to the established art scene, the avant-garde frame of mind is today an indivisible part of contemporary art. The artist experiments, plays, crosses borders and insists that art should break away from the art institution and become accessible to everyone in our everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenrik Vibskov is exactly such an artist: all-round creative, experimenting, confronting and investigating. The beautiful and organic graphic works featured in this book are unique and independent works. Their minimalistic expressions are accompanied by an uncontrollable wildness in an experimenting colour explosion. Henrik Vibskov's graphic expressions create a platform for the understanding of a bobbling parallel universe. The visual experiences in this book are therefore just the first chapter in an enriching artistic alternative world where the diffused borders of the disciplines become the very catalyst of the project. The borders of the artworks flow in and out between each other, just as is the case with the anarchist line in Henrik Vibskov's graphic works.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003epreface\u003c\/em\u003e Pernille Taagaard Dinesen, Museum Curator, ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hannah Heilmann, Pernil Taagaard Dinesen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28824121426,"sku":"id_00081","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1556\/6589\/products\/pandacover.jpg?v=1481879183"},{"product_id":"post-propaganda","title":"Post-Propaganda","description":"\u003cp\u003e+++Engelse editie \/ English edition+++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+++Jonas Staal+++\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e978-90-76936-22-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eGraphic designer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStout\/Kramer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eNumber of pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e109\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eBook size\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12.4 x 18.6 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDate of release: March 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n+++\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essay \u003cem\u003ePost-Propaganda\u003c\/em\u003e is a publication by the Fonds BKVB (now Mondriaan Fund), it was written by visual artist Jonas Staal. His argument is based on the deep-rooted relationship between the art institution and politics, a relationship that goes unacknowledged by both parties. The art institution refuses to question its supposed autonomy and to consider the way it functions from the perspective of socio-economic interests. Conversely, politics refuses to give up its untenably neutral position with respect to the arts. Politics persists in the ideal of a 'free' and 'independent' art, in spite of its far-reaching and direct interference in both funding and content. In doing so, politics denies its direct responsibility and power as the actual commissioning client of the art institution. The central question of this essay considers the precise nature of the political interests that bring about its involvement with the arts. It also asks how art currently functions as a means of political propaganda. What are the ideological foundations that contemporary art is supposed to portray?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this manifesto, Jonas Staal aims to further the discussion about art and politics.

The camera seemed the most suitable device with which to  capture them. I saw meaning embedded in spaces and objects: their forms  held the key to understanding both the human impulse, the World, and  one's place in it. Part of this belief may have been connected to the  mythic dimensions of my childhood surroundings (the vast spaces of the  Canadian Shield) and the Utopian atmosphere that prevailed in the 1960s  in my native Montréal. The co-existence of suburban banality and  Utopian futurism (represented by the city's innovative architectural  developments and the parallel experimental urbanism of \u003cem\u003eexpo67\u003c\/em\u003e) suggested that there was one vast environment, manifested in an array of forms. Empty parking lots were inexorably linked  with airports, corporate office buildings, meandering semi-public  subterranean interiors, métro cars, megastructural space frames,  motorways, suburban bungalows, sylvan wildernesses, and even  reconstructed historical villages. Their unity, their equivalence,  their a-temporality, was a plausible, authentic and exciting reality  for me. These childhood impressions have remained with me, despite  knowing how things are and how they have to come to be.
