This is the most comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to idioms used in
Spanish and English. Idioms are the heart and soul of a language as
it's actually used, and Spanish has thousands of these mystifying
expressions - most of which you won't find in any bilingual
dictionary. With "The Big Red Book of Spanish Idioms" you'll never
be in the dark about the meanings of idioms and colloquialisms used
across the Spanish-speaking world. And you'll never be at a loss
for the right turn of phrase when speaking or writing Spanish."The
Big Red Book of Spanish Idioms" is filled with: 4,000 idioms
arranged according to Spanish keywords; 1,800 Spanish keywords and
their English equivalents; 1,800 example sentences for guidance in
usage; 8,000 matching English expressions; an English-Spanish Index
- to steer you to the right idioms, instantly; and, extensive
cross-referencing that lets you access material in either language.
By matching Spanish idioms with English expressions of a similar
tone or register, this dictionary makes an ideal reference not only
for students of Spanish but also for Spanish-speaking learners of
English.
Hybrid spatial installations Ruth Schnell’s work interrogates
historical concepts of reality that are now being called into
question by apparative perception. In the field of media art,
Schnell has made a significant contribution to the understanding of
this radical transformation: she has gone beyond the moving image,
involved viewers in a participatory manner, and expanded
object-like or sculptural art into immersive environments. Deeply
inscribed in her artistic approach is the reference to
sociopolitical questions and the latest developments in technology.
The monograph offers a documentary reappraisal and
contextualization of Ruth Schnell’s work since 1983 and provides
stimulus for enhancing competence in the field of media. 40 years
of media art production open up new paths and dimensions in a
singular way Extensive section on the body of work; with prefaces
by Peter Weibel and Katharina Gsöllpointner, as well as
contributions by Claudia Giannetti, Chris Salter, and Jill Scott

A bold new spatial perspective on modern sculpture, with 800 color
images of work by artists including Henry Moore, Lygia Clark, Anish
Kapoor, and Ana Mendieta. This monumental, richly illustrated
volume from ZKM Karlsruhe approaches modern sculpture from a
spatial perspective, interpreting it though contour, emptiness, and
levitation rather than the conventional categories of unbroken
volume, mass, and gravity. It examines works by dozens of
twentieth- and twenty-first-century artists, including Hans Arp,
Marcel Duchamp, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Lygia Clark, Anish
Kapoor, Olafur Eliasson, Ana Mendieta, Fujiko Nakaya, Tomas
Saraceno, and Alicja Kwade. The large-scale book contains over 800
color images.
Hacking Identity - Dancing Diversity opens a vivid kaleidoscope of
artistic notions of identity that reflect upon the particular and
the universal, the aesthetic and the intellectual, the historical
and the futuristic, the human and the non-human. Organized in
cooperation with the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, a
unique cultural institution in Europe, expanding the original tasks
of a museum by combining research, exhibitions and performances,
the exhibition is curated by Anett Holzheid, scientific consultant
at ZKM, and Peter Weibel, its chairman and CEO.
From Greek antiquity to the present, from the book to the
gramophone, from Gutenberg to Google, our culture is defined by
changes in recording, storage, and transmission media. In a
six-volume selection of his writings, Peter Weibel presents an
encyclopedia that addresses all areas of the media world. The
author has conceived this series as following in the tradition of
the Enlightenment and the Encyclopédie by Denis Diderot and Jean
Baptiste le Rond d’Alembert. Three volumes will be published in
September 2014, and the remaining three in spring 2015. Volume one
deals with a broad definition of architecture in the context of new
media. Volume two is devoted to media-relatÂed innovations in the
area of music—from automatic methods of composition in the music
of Mozart to a theory of molecular music. Volume three addresses
the impact of new media on art and discusses how pictures become
interactive and viewers become part of the work—how reality
replaces representation. The themes of the other three volumes are
literature, polÂitics, and theory in the context of new media.
The life and work of the outstanding Catalan-Majorcan philosopher,
logician, and mystic Ramon Llull continues to fascinate thinkers,
artists, and scholars worldwide In this book, international experts
from Europe and the United States address Lullism as a remarkable
and distinctive method of thinking and experimenting. The origins
and impact of Ramon Llull's oeuvre as a modern thinker are
presented, and their interdisciplinary and intercultural
implications, which continue to this day, are explored. Ars
combinatoria, generative and permutative generation of texts, the
epistemic and poetic power of algorithmic systems, plus the
principle of unconditional dialogue between cultural groups and
their individual members, are the most important coordinates of
this combinatorial-dialogical media and communication theory, which
appeared very early in the history of science, technology, and art.
It was developed in the work of Ramon Llull during the transition
from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century when Arab-Islamic,
Jewish, and Christian cultures intersected. The legacy of Lullism
lives on in poetry and in the visual and electronic-based arts, as
well as in research on the history of informatics, formal logic,
and media archaeology. The primary idea of Llull's teachings-to
enable rational and therefore trustworthy dialogue between cultures
and religions through a universally valid system of symbols-is
today still topical and of great relevance, especially in the
tensions prevailing in globalized spaces of possibility.

Essays and images that map art's new sonic cosmos, illustrated in
color throughout. This milestone volume maps fifty years of
artists' engagement with sound. Since the beginning of the new
millennium, numerous historical and critical works have established
sound art as an artistic genre in its own right, with an accepted
genealogy that begins with Futurism, Dada, and Fluxus, as well as
disciplinary classifications that effectively restrict artistic
practice to particular tools and venues. This book, companion
volume to a massive exhibition at ZKM | Karlsruhe, goes beyond
these established disciplinary divides to chart the evolution and
the full potential of sound as a medium of art. The book begins
with an extensive overview by volume editor Peter Weibel that
considers the history of sound as media art, examining work by
visual artists, composers, musicians, and architects alike.
Subsequent essays examine sound experiments in antiquity,
sonification of art and science, and internet-based sound art.
Contributors then survey the global field of sound art research and
practice, in essays that describe the past, present, and future of
sound art in Germany, Japan, China, the United States, the United
Kingdom, Russia, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and Scandinavia. The
texts are accompanied by an extensive photographic documentation of
the ZKM exhibition. Texts by Achille Bonito Oliva, Dmitry Bulatov,

The artistic works by Sabine Groschup, a student of Maria Lassnig,
range from painting, textile art and cinematic creations to
sculptural pieces, literature and photography as well as spatial,
video and sound installations. In her Augsburg solo exhibition "DER
DOPPELTE (T)RAUM" (the Double Dream), Groschup presents her
multifaceted work on a specially created, surreal stage. Real space
and dream oscillate and merge into one another. This sets in motion
a tense interplay between reality and dream, which is the focus of
the artist's creative oeuvre. The essays collected here - by Silvia
Eiblmayr, Katja Gasser and Peter Weibel, among others - help the
reader to decipher and classify this oeuvre. First comprehensive
presentation of Groschup's extensive and diverse artistic oeuvre.

Twentieth-century art history is not just a history of
individuals, but of collectives, groups. Universities and colleges
have had much to do with this through their support of artistic
communities and creative interactions. In the 1920s and 1930s, the
Bauhaus was known for this. In the 1940s, Black Mountain College
became a leader in community-based visual art practice and
education. And in the 1970s and 1980s, the Department of Media
Study at the State University of New York at Buffalo was the place
to be. It was there, in 1973, well before any other university had
a program explicitly devoted to media art, that Gerald O'Grady
founded a media study program that is now legendary.
Artists--including avant-garde filmmakers Hollis Frampton, Tony
Conrad, and Paul Sharits, documentary maker James Blue, video
artists Woody Vasulka and Steina, and Viennese action artist Peter
Weibel--investigated, taught, and made media art in all forms, and
founded the first Digital Arts Laboratory. These Buffalo faculty
members were not just practicing artists, but also theorists who
wrote and spoke on issues raised by their work. They set the terms
for the development of media art and paved the way for the triumph
of video installation art in the 1990s. The images and texts in
Buffalo Heads bear witness to the groundbreaking events at the
Buffalo Center for Media Study. The book presents not just a
tribute to a famous media department finally receiving its due; it
is a rich inventory of primary texts (many never before published),
works that will improve our understanding of media, amplify our
cultural memory, and offer a perspective on contemporary
issues.Woody Vasulka was a Professor at the Center for Media Study
at SUNY Buffalo from 1973 to 1979. With his wife Steina, he founded
The Kitchen, a New York City electronic media theater in 1971.
Peter Weibel is an artist, curator, and author. He is Director of
ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe and a coeditor of other
ZKM/MIT Press publications, including Making Things Public:
Atmospheres of Democracy (2005) and ICONOCLASH: Beyond the Image
Wars in Science, Religion, and Art (2002).
