Abstract

"Die Nation war das zentrale Zukunftsprojekt des bürgerlichen 19. Jahrhunderts. Als Disziplin wie auch als Genre entstand in diesem Zusammenhang die Nationalgeschichte, die die Ursprünge der Nation in den Tiefen der Vergangenheit aufspüren und Ansprüche auf Menschen und Territorien legitimieren sollte. Zugleich produzierte sie einen Bildervorrat, der, durch Schule und Festtagskultur popularisiert, zur Basis politischer Kommunikation wurde. Doch wie passte sich eine so beschaffene Nationalgeschichte einem Umfeld an, das in hohem Maße durch Multikulturalität geprägt war und sich durch eine Pluralität konfessionell geprägter Erinnerungsgemeinschaften auszeichnete? Dieser Frage geht die Studie - die bürgerlich-serbische Erinnerungskultur in den Mittelpunkt rückend - für das habsburgische Bosnien-Herzegowina nach."

Abstract

»Building Institution« chronicles the expansion of architecture as a profession and discipline in the postmodern era. Kim Förster traces the compelling history of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, which was active in New York from 1967 to 1985. Drawing on extensive archival research and oral histories, he constructs a collective biography that details the Institute's diverse roles and the dynamic interplay between research and design, education, culture, and publishing. By exploring the transformation of cultural production into a practice as well as the culturalization and global postmodernization of architecture, the volume contributes significantly to the institutional history of architecture.

Abstract

This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish-Belgian artist Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalska). Her work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, captivating audiences with her innovative exploration of fluid spaces and dynamic interactions. Her work, an important contribution to twentieth century sculpture, is essentially divided into two major sections: the textile works of the 1960s to 1980s and the subsequent neoprene works of the last years of her life. Her practice moved away from traditional weaving through experimental techniques and evolved into three-dimensional works-first made of cords, then of neoprene sheets-that interacted with the space and the viewer. TAPTA (*1926-1997) was born in Poland and came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Krzysztof Wierusz-Kowalski, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied weaving at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts, Brussels, from where she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. On their return to Belgium in 1960, until her sudden death in 1997, she worked in Brussels as an artist and-from 1976 until 1990-as a professor at La Cambre. (Verlagsangaben)
