Won from the Waves (Hardback)

In 1959 a huge gas bubble was discovered in the Dutch province of Groningen. Soon experts started to suspect that gas could also be extracted from the North Sea. When this proved to be true, it did not take long for both existing and new companies to plunge into offshore oil and gas extraction. As a result the Netherlands has acquired one of the most important offshore industries in the world since the oil crisis. It owes this position to a group of suppliers: innovative companies that build, transport, maintain and disassemble platforms, transformer stations and wind farms on behalf of the large energy companies. They are world leaders and are playing an important role in the current energy transition, which, to a large extent, is taking place at sea. In Won from the Waves Joke Korteweg and Frits Loomeijer describe the fascinating development of the Dutch offshore industry on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the trade organisation IRO. This unique book is the first to shine

Theo Eissens - Linea Recta from A to B (Hardback)

Theo Eissens - Linea Recta from A to B On 22 March 2015 the exhibition Theo Eissens - Berlin Calling opened at the Livingstone gallery with a series of new works: unique silkscreened images on canvas of abandoned and burdened places in and around Berlin. Berlin played an important role in the life of Theo Eissens (Amsterdam 1952-2015). The title of this publication refers to the frequent trips he made from Amsterdam to Berlin and vice versa, and the recurrent long and short periods he lived and worked there, starting in 1992. My first encounter in 2001 with Theo's work were his extraordinary etchings (sometimes mixed with silkscreen) that he printed in Berlin at the world-renowned Druckwerkstatt Bethanien. This is also where he exhibited with artists like A.R. Penck and Bruce McLean (1996, Galerie im Parlement, Druckwerkstatt Bethanien, Berlin) and was able to immerse himself in German (art)history. In 2004 his focus shifted from prints on paper to works on canvas and wood panel. His

Zeeuwse zeehavens vanuit de lucht / seaports from above (Hardback)

Wie aan Zeeland denkt, denkt aan rust en ruimte. Aan mooie duingebieden en fraaie stranden. Aan landbouw en visserij. Aan historische steden en karakteristieke dorpen. Maar vrijwel niemand associeert Zeeland spontaan met economische bedrijvigheid, met handel en industrie. Wie het havengebied Zeeland Seaports voor het eerst bezoekt, is dan ook vaak verbaasd. Over de omvang van het gebied, het aantal bedrijven dat het havengebied telt en de bedrijvigheid in de havens. Zeeland seaports from above Zeeland is evocative of peace and space. It calls to mind images of dunes and pretty beaches. Zeeland equals agriculture and the fishing industry. It houses historical cities and picturesque villages. However, hardly anybody thinks of Zeeland as a hive of economic activity where trade and industry play an important role. It is no surprise then that visitors to Zeeland Seaports are amazed at what they discover. A large area with numerous businesses located in the port area and ports which are

Tales from the Black Sea (Hardback)

De Zwarte Zee is sinds millennia een kruispunt tussen Europa en Azië. Zijn kusten zijn ontmoetingsplaatsen van contrasterende culturen, godsdiensten en ideologieën met even zoveel potentieel voor ernstige conflicten. Bert Spiertz volgde tijdens een aantal reizen deze ruim vierduizend kilometer lange kust door zes landen, met Istanbul als begin en eindpunt. Tales from the Black Sea voert van de Bosporus en Turkse havensteden als Trabzon naar Batoemi in Georgië en het mondaine Russische kuuroord Sotsji. Maar ook naar het door Rusland geannexeerde schiereiland de Krim en de Oekraïense steden Cherson en Odesa, naar de prachtige maar bedreigde waterwereld van de delta van de Donau en de Bulgaarse riviera. Het blijkt dat de geschiedenis hier vaak nog niet voorbij is en pijnlijk voortleeft in de stenen, het landschap en in de hoofden van veel mensen. Het is een gebied waar het knelt als het gaat om geopolitiek, religie, minderheden en onverwerkt verleden. Olaf Tempelman, buitenlandredacteur

Licked by the waves (Hardback)

De blik van de kunstenaar op de badende mens - Ontdek hoe moderne en hedendaagse kunstenaars het klassieke thema baders vormgeven. Het boek bij de internationale tentoonstelling in Museum MORE laat de voortdurende fascinatie zien voor de dit onderwerp. Het werk van meer dan 65 kunstenaars biedt een rijk spectrum aan verrassende visies op de badende mens. Het onderwerp baders heeft een lange kunsthistorische traditie die nog altijd springlevend blijkt. In de negentiende eeuw verdwenen langzaam de klassieke of Bijbelse voorwendselen om baders te schilderen, en er werd ruim baan gegeven aan de bader tout court. Half of geheel naakte vrouwen - en soms mannen - die in de buitenlucht in en om het water werden geschilderd. Hoewel het onderwerp zich vaak en plein air bevindt, is het verre van natuurlijk: het is een kunstmatige constructie die vragen oproept over de representatie van het lichaam, seksualiteit, de mannelijke (of vrouwelijke) blik, natuur en vitaliteit. Het boek stelt een grote
