A stunning tour through the renowned, wide-ranging collection of
contemporary art at Ghent's Municipal Museum for Contemporary Art
(S.M.A.K.) The Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (translated as
the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art and commonly abbreviated
as S.M.A.K.), located in Ghent, Belgium, has quickly established a
reputation for both a superlative permanent collection and
provocative exhibitions since it opened to the public in 1999. The
museum's collection focuses on international developments in art
after 1945, including works by artists such as Francis Alys,
Francis Bacon, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Luc Tuymans, and
Bruce Nauman. S.M.A.K. Highlights for a Future showcases the full
range and exceptional quality of the museum's holdings,
illustrating some 200 artworks, from well-known masterpieces to
less-familiar, recent acquisitions. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
The Schulhofs were unique among American collectors, as they sought
art with a truly international dimension; Milan, Rome, Paris,
Dusseldorf, Basel, London, Kassel, Venice, Pittsburgh, and New York
were just a few of the many destinations for the late Hannelore and
Rudolph Schulhof in over fifty years of collecting art. Starting in
the early 1950s, together they built a collection that continues to
inspire and educate future generations-from the powerful elegance
of Richard Serra's Schulhof's Curve to Eduardo Chilida's exquisite
ironworks and works on paper by artists such as Robert Smithson,
Mark Rothko, and Cy Twombly. The collectors' interest in minimalism
is reflected in works by Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Mangold, Agnes
Martin, and Robert Ryman. This handsome volume showcases the
thoughtful and highly personal texture of the Schulhof Collection.

What if Ayrton Senna had survived his Imola 1994 accident? What if
Gilles Villeneuve hadn't died at Zolder in 1982? What if Stirling
Moss hadn't crashed at Goodwood in 1962? What if Alberto Ascari had
survived his 1955 testing-accident at Monza? This book explores
those rivalries by assuming that drivers' injuries from crashes
were not fatal, and pits the drivers up against their peers once
more.
In a world, in which camcorders and CCTV are witness to our every
move and Big Brother and The Blair Witch Project are phenomenally
popular and widely imitated, the divide between reality and liction
has become increasingly blurred. Understanding Realism aims to
explain and make accessible a concept central to the understanding
of film and television studies. It is the second in a series of
short orientation texts geared to the formal study of the moving
image. Using a selection of the critical approaches, Understanding
Realism examines the complex relationship between the moving image
and appearance and reality. Deploying the films One Fine Day and
Clerks as major case studies. Richard Armstrong's indepth treatment
considers in turn the roles that narrative, genre, audience and
ideolgy play in relation to realism in mainstream Hollywood and US
independent film. He also discusses how it is possible to reconcile
the Impression that what is being watched is reality with the
knowledge that it is not. This introductory book written by an
experienced film studies tutor, provides an accessible overview of
a concept key to the understanding of contemporary media.
The first in-depth study of its subject, this book seeks to
historically account for a type of modernist film that revolves
around bereavement. Identifying the roots of the genre in classical
melodrama and horror cinema, and tracing perennial themes and
aesthetic devices through to the European and American
""intellectual melodramas"" of the postwar decades, the book
provides a taxonomy of characteristics. In the course of detailed
case studies, the book deploys the film theory of Gilles Deleuze
and Daniel Frampton while making use of Freudian psychoanalysis and
present-day grief counselling theory. In making its case for the
new genre, the book reflects upon the ways in which the very notion
of genre has, in the post-classical period, responded to changing
exhibition patterns, the rise of domestic spectatorship, and the
proliferation of Web-based film literature.
