Christopher Williams Bücher

Printed in Germany is the second volume in an ambitious series of books developed by Williams in conjunction with his first major museum survey, The Production Line of Happiness, a critically acclaimed exhibition co- organized for 2014–15 by The Art Institute of Chicago with The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Whitechapel Gallery, London. Following the first publication, an exhibition catalogue that relied more heavily on text than image, Printed in Germany was conceived to exist as a stand-alone visual object and extend the artist’s conceptual and aesthetic concerns into book form. A perfect companion to the first publication, it reproduces a carefully curated selection of the artist’s painstakingly constructed photographs and features striking graphic design in the near-complete absence of language, with no essay, captions, or even a title page. Through clever manipulations of cropping, ordering, and pagination, Printed in Germany offers readers an original aesthetic experience and comprehensive insight into the practice of one of today’s most thought-provoking artists, while— through pure visual splendor—pushing the boundaries of the artist’s book into new realms. As with all books in the series, it has been produced in three colors—yellow, red, and green—each of which features subtle differences in layout.

Umweltgifte wie Schwermetalle und radioaktive Stoffe lagern sich im Gehirn an, was zu einem Verfall der geistigen Fähigkeiten führt. Besonders betroffen sind Kinder und Jugendliche, deren Intelligenzentwicklung gefährdet ist. Viele dieser geschädigten Kinder benötigen eine Betreuung wie geistig Behinderte, jedoch fehlen dafür die finanziellen Mittel und die notwendige Infrastruktur. In hochindustrialisierten Ländern bedrohen ungesunde Ernährung und krebserregende Stoffe die Gesundheit aller Bevölkerungsschichten. Die Umrisse einer Weltkarte menschlichen Leids werden sichtbar, und erstmals in der Geschichte kündigt sich eine Rückentwicklung der menschlichen Intelligenz an, die nicht umkehrbar ist. Weltweit führen Mangelernährung und Umweltverschmutzung zu einem schleichenden intellektuellen Niedergang. Die zunehmende Umweltbedrohung stellt eine Frage von Leben oder Halb-Leben für Millionen Menschen dar. In Macau berichtet Barry Grindrod über die vergessenen Käfigkinder, geistig stark zurückgebliebene Jungen und junge Männer, die in einem überholten menschlichen Zoo leben. In Indien werden stündlich mindestens zehn Kinder geboren, die aufgrund von Jodmangel von Geburt an behindert sind und somit ihr volles geistiges und körperliches Potenzial niemals erreichen können.

In this volume the author examines verbal constructions in prescriptive legal texts written in English. Modal auxiliaries such as shall , may and must are analysed, as well as indicative tenses such as the present simple, and also non-finite constructions such as the -ing form and -ed participles. Results are based on specially compiled corpora of prescriptive texts coming from a wide range of English-speaking countries and also international organizations such as the European Union and the UN. The author also analyses the nature, extent and impact of the calls for change in legal language coming from the Plain Language Movement. Although legal language tends to be depicted as being highly conservative and unchanging, the author shows that in certain parts of the English-speaking world a minor revolution would appear to be taking place, while in other parts there is greater resistance to change.

These essays mark the hundredth anniversary of the first projected film screening to a paying audience in Britain, by the Lumiere Cinematographe at the Polytechnic Institution in Regent Street, London, in February 1896. Contributors include David Robinson, John Barnes and Sylvia Harvey.

The story follows Trip, a young man from the 'hood who seemingly has it all—job security, loyal friends, and an exciting relationship. However, when he loses his job and faces eviction, he turns to a risky get-rich-quick scheme. This decision not only jeopardizes his stability but also attracts the attention of women across the city, leading to unexpected challenges and adventures. The narrative explores themes of ambition, desperation, and the consequences of choices in the pursuit of success.

Focusing on the relationship between design and physical environment, this book guides readers, particularly designers and builders, through the principles of form and function. With a practical approach, Williams combines insightful explanations with exquisite drawings to illustrate the constraints and possibilities of design. Readers will learn how size, function, and usage impact object development, as well as the governing laws that shape their creations.

Gerhard Richter, Konrad Lueg, Sigmar Polke und Manfred Kuttner prägten den Begriff Kapitalistischer Realismus anlässlich ihrer selbst organisierten Ausstellungen in Düsseldorf im Jahr 1963. Obwohl sie selbst ihn nur kurze Zeit verwendeten und sich von der Wahrnehmung als Künstlergruppe schnell distanzierten, repräsentiert der Kapitalistische Realismus eine spezifische Kunstauffassung der westdeutschen Nachkriegszeit, die bis heute kontrovers diskutiert wird. Die Publikation zur Ausstellung widmet sich erstmals umfassend diesem wichtigen Phänomen. Die zentralen Ausstellungen und Aktionen werden in Bild und Text dokumentiert und der internationale, kunsthistorische und gesellschaftliche Kontext aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet. Ausstellung und Katalog belegen die Aktualität einer der intensivsten und wirkungsmächtigsten Tendenzen der Nachkriegszeit.
