The Old Testament is full of many remarkable stories that pose a
challenge to our modern understanding. In this collection of
essays, Rudolf Frieling demonstrates his unique gift for delving
deeper into the meaning of the Old Testament stories, presenting
them from a fresh perspective that makes them more comprehensible
to today's readers. In this insightful book Frieling: -- Explores
the accounts of the creation of the human being in Genesis. --
Demonstrates the ongoing power of the Psalms. -- Shows how the
events of the Old Testament are a preparation for the coming of
Christ. Frieling's commanding grasp of the original Hebrew and
close attention to detail brings to life the rich imagery of these
accounts and songs, making this a unique guide to the wisdom of the
Old Testament.
When faced with the descriptions of miracles and the teachings and
parables of Christ as recorded in the New Testament, it can be
difficult to know what to make of them. Should they be accepted as
the literal truth or dismissed as stories from a less enlightened
time? In this collection of essays, Rudolf Frieling draws on his
deep knowledge and insight to make the events of the New Testament
more understandable to modern readers. He returns to the Greek text
to uncover the meaning and power of the original language. --
Explains difficult concepts such as the Son of God and the Son of
Man, and traces the path of Christ's incarnation from the Baptism
in Jordan through to his death, resurrection and ascension --
Examines the parables and accounts of miraculous healings, as well
as the testimonies given in Acts and the apostolic letters --
Offers a profound examination of both the Apocalypse and the
Transfiguration Frieling's masterful analysis surpasses the dry
concepts and conventional explanations of many biblical
commentaries and brings the events of the New Testament vividly to
life. The result is a work that continues to be important for
understanding the New Testament today.
During the brief window between the two World Wars, the Rev. Prof.
Hermann Beckh led research at The Christian Community Seminary in
Stuttgart. In those precious years he published on music, the
gospels and the ancient Mysteries. By 1930, in his Contributions to
the Priests' Newsletter, he had produced the most far-reaching
account of the cosmic order ever written. The typescript of this
great work was destined to gather dust in the Berlin Archiv,
however, until it was discovered in recent years. Published here
for the first time, it is the crowning masterpiece to Beckh's
Collected Works. The translated and annotated text is accompanied
by Rudolf Frieling's in-depth application of Beckh's principles of
the cosmic starry order to the Creed of The Christian Community,
and by a number of appreciations and relevant book reviews. Through
ever-deepening meditation guided by Rudolf Steiner, and his vast
knowledge of Tibetan, Sanskrit, Pali and Avestan sacred texts -
scarcely to be equalled in Europe at the time - Beckh came to the
first-hand realization that human and cosmic life was ordered. He
perceived directly that this cosmic order was: good, as originating
from the World-Will; true, as from World-Thinking; and beautiful,
as from World-Feeling. All three could be personally experienced in
disciplined consciousness that could enter dream, sleep and
pre-natal life. This, then, was Beckh's method and inspiration, as
shown in this extraordinary work.
Reincarnation -- by which human beings return to live on earth --
is a concept most often associated with eastern philosophies rather
than Christianity. Yet in this challenging book, Rudolf Frieling
makes the case for the integration of reincarnation into a
Christian world view. He shows how an esoteric Christianity was
brought to life again through the thinking of Rudolf Steiner,
arguing that theology around the 'end of days' has shown how a gap
exists between death and resurrection on the Last Day. Presenting
the essence of Christianity, Frieling shows how it harmonises with
reincarnation, and examines the relationship of reincarnation to
the Bible.
The first fully illustrated survey of participatory art and its key
practitioners, published in association with the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art.
This new survey covers the rich and varied history of participatory
art, from early happenings and performances to current practices
that demand audience interaction. As the hallmarks of Web
2.0--browsing, sharing, collecting, producing--increasingly
permeate every aspect of society, this timely project reveals the
ways in which artists and viewers have approached the creation of
open works of art. The featured artists include Marina Abramovic
and Ulay, Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Janet Cardiff,
Lygia Clark, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, Dan Graham, Hans
Haacke, Allan Kaprow, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Antoni Muntadas, Yoko
Ono, Nam June Paik, and Erwin Wurm.
Original essays by Rudolf Frieling, Boris Groys, Robert Atkins, and
Lev Manovich identify seminal moments in participatory practice
from the 1950s to the present day. A rich array of plates introduce
work by all the artists in the accompanying exhibition, with
reproductions of significant projects by other major figures--from
Helio Oiticica, Joan Jonas, and Gordon Matta-Clark to Rirkrit
Tiravanija and SUPERFLEX--rounding out the survey. 215 color
illustrations.

Artist Bruce Conner (1933-2008) moved to San Francisco in 1957 and
quickly enmeshed himself in the Bay Area's distinctive cultural
milieu, combining a vision and a multifaceted body of work that
went beyond the limitations of any genre. From early assemblages of
the 1950s and 1960s to iconic and pioneering works in film, from
photography and photograms to prints, drawings, and paintings,
Conner's oeuvre continues to exert tremendous influence on artists
working today. This historic retrospective catalogue will be the
definitive resource on this important artist for decades to come.
Offering a highly anticipated contemporary perspective on Conner,
it will prove revelatory in assessing his output and place in
postwar art. Illustrated in full color throughout, this
comprehensive volume provides access to a range of material that
has never been published, including early paintings from the 1950s
and works from the last decade of Conner's life, along with a trove
of fascinating ephemeral materials. The publication features
original scholarship by a range of luminaries, including essays by
Frieling, Garrels, Stuart Comer, Diedrich Diederichsen, Rachel
Federman, and Laura Hoptman as well as contributions from Michelle
Barger, Kevin Beasley, Dara Birnbaum, Carol Bove, Stan Brakhage,
Will Brown, David Byrne, Johanna Gosse, Roger Griffith, Kellie
Jones, Christian Marclay, Greil Marcus, Michael McClure, Megan
Randall, Henry S. Rosenthal, Dean Smith, and Kristine Stiles.
