Yoko Ono ist eine führende Vertreterin der experimentellen Kunst. In den 1950er Jahren brach sie mit traditionellen Kunstregeln und stellte originäre Fragen zum Kunstverständnis. Konzeptkunst, Fluxus, Performances und Happenings waren die Wege, mit denen sie auch eine neuartige Beziehung zum Publikum und zu anderen Künstlern schuf, wie etwa zu John Lennon.

In Anlehnung an Yoko Onos revolutionäres Pocketbook Grapefruit konzentriert sich die Publikation auf Aktion, Partizipation und Imagin...

Jón Kristinsson (Reykjavik, 1936) is the godfather of sustainable building in the Netherlands and probably elsewhere in the world. Already in the 1970s and 1980s he invented and applied designs and technology that still to date are unequivocal in the built environment. With the completion of his masterpiece, Villa Flora (Venlo, 2012), Kristinsson again sets the benchmark for sustainable architecture. This abundantly illustrated book guides the reader through Jón Kristinsson's vision, theory...

Spring 1934. In a boggy clay polder south of Amsterdam, the first sods are cut for what would become the largest urban forest in the world: Amsterdamse Bos.

Equally unique were the conditions that surrounded the Bos’ birth. Amidst the hardships of ...
