Renowned American textile artist and sculptor Gyöngy Laky (b. 1944) was once described as a "wood whisperer." Her highly individual, puzzle-like assemblages of timber and textiles helped to significantly propel the growth of the contemporaryfiber-arts movement. Laky's art traverses an extraordinary personal story: Born amid the bombings of World War II, she escaped from post-war, Soviet-dominated Hungary; a sponsorship from a family in Ohio, grade school in Oklahoma, and a course of study at the University of California, Berkeley, followed, before founding Fiberworks Center for Textile Arts in the 1970s and fostering innovations as a professor at the University of California, Davis.The publication "Screwing with Order" provides insight into her studio practice, activism, and teaching philosophy, whichchampions sustainable art and design, original thinking, and the value of the unexpected.

Der virtuose Silberschmied Earl Krentzin (1929-2021) nutzte sein enormes Talent für figürliche Skulpturen. Er setzte als einfühlsamer Dramatiker und vollendeter Requisiteur seine Arbeiten in Szene: Mit trockenem Humor zeigen die Figuren wie auf einer Bühne die Absurdität des Lebens. Krentzin vertrat dabei eine einmalige Position in der Welt der modernen Crafts-Bewegung und hatte mehr mit dem Goldschmied Benvenuto Cellini aus dem 16. Jahrhundert gemeinsam als mit seinen Zeitgenossen.Taming the Beast zeigt die ganze Bandbreite von Krentzins Kreationen: edle Taten, gefährliche Unternehmungen und einfaches Vergnügen, beruhend auf seiner Liebe zu Spielzeug, Bewegung und Mechanik. Mit Humor und Pathos in seinen theatralischen Aufbauten überzeugt dieser moderne Meister bis ins kleinste Detail. Amüsement und Tagtraum beflügeln die Phantasie.

The architecture by Arne Jacobsen and Otto Weitling is of outstanding importance for post-war modernism in Germany. The calibre of their projects, however, has been forgotten. Gesamtkunstkwerke closes this gap in the appreciation of their work with a comprehensive presentation of seven out of eight German projects by the Danish master architects. Jacobsen and WeitlingΓÇÖs Scandinavian functionalism is a reflection of the visions of the former FRG ΓÇô designs and commissions grounded in democracy, prestige and efficiency. The publication also takes stock of how the legacy of late modernism is being handled. The journey through the architectsΓÇÖ locales leads us to the sea, to model towns and to the intricacies of modernism, prompting a debate in accordance with Otto Weitling: ΓÇÿPros and cons would be a positive sign because a building that isnΓÇÖt talked about is usually not worth talking about.ΓÇÖText in English and German.
