  • D.A.P. General Interest Thomas Struth
    D.A.P. General Interest PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED Thomas Struth Edited with text by Thomas Weski, Ulrich Wilmes. Text by Jana-Maria Hartmann. Interview by Okwui Enwesor. Since the 1990s, Thomas Struth has been one of the best-known and internationally successful photographers of the German art scene. Struth studied painting under Gerhard Richter and photography under Bernd and Hilla Becher, a combination that decisively influenced his vision. This volume is a compilation of representative photographs from each series of works in Struth’s oeuvre: street photographs from the 1970s and ‘80s; empathetic portraits (particularly of families); large-format “museum photographs”; nature studies; jungle photographs (New Pictures from Paradise); and, from the latest series, images from the world of science. As this compendium of his work shows, Struth has succeeded in setting new aesthetic standards thanks to his great precision, chromatic clarity, sound sense of composition and intellectual profundity. Thomas Struth (born 1954) studied with the Bechers at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art. Struth is today a leading figure in German arts and international photography. He lives in Berlin and is represented in the US by Marian Goodman Gallery. D.A.P. 9781942884224 $85.00 TRADE Hbk, 10 x 12.5 in. / 320 pgs / 401 color. Photography: Monograph ACTIVE ARTBOOK | D.A.P.

At 76 years old, Bruce Nauman is widely ac- knowledged as a central figure in contemporary art whose stringent questioning of values such as good and bad remains urgent today. Throughout his 50-year career, he has explored how mutable experiences of time, space, sound, movement and language provide an insecure foundation for our understanding of our place in the world.

  • Daylight & Architecture
    AUTUMN 2005 ISSUE 01 DAYLIGHT & ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE BY VARIETIES VELUX 10 EURO Diversity is not the same as abundance, which can indeed be very DISCOURSE arbitrary. Diversity implies more: it also comprises unity. And unity implies more than restriction to a single unit. Unity can only be perceived in diversity; without it diversity BY cannot exist. The many folds of a single garment are an image that gives visual expression to this concept. GÜNTER The world we live in is monotonous? This is hard to believe. It is more likely that the way it is perceived is monotonous and that BEHNISCH it is made monotonous. Diversity is obscured by a single consid- eration or a small number of them: for example, returns on money invested, or quite simply the way the system works. The archi- tect who allows himself to be influenced primarily by these con- siderations and who disregards the many other aspects will produce monotonous work. Such interests which are indeed powerful, and often monu- mental, hardly need much promotion from us: their claims are powerfully represented by other parties. There are other consid- erations that are in need of our commitment: ecology, for exam- ple; our fellow-men, children, people, working methods, communal living and many others. We can uncover and investigate as many as possible of the almost unlimited number of facets of a brief – that we receive in the deceptive guise of a single concept, such as a hospital – facets that otherwise remain unrepresented. We are in a position to enable hidden forces, neglected in the reality of our society, to find expression and to assume their visible form.

Dormant seeding of turfgrass is sometimes used to help fill in bare spots of lawns that weren't overseeded in the fall. Dormant overseeding is done during the winter (December – February) when it is much too cold for germination. As with any seeding program, good seed-soil contact is vital. Several methods can be used. One method is to seed when there has been a light snowfall of up to an inch. This is shallow enough that bare spots can still be seen. Spread seed by hand on areas that need thickening up. As the snow melts, it brings the seed into good contact with the soil where it will germinate in the spring. Another method is dependent on the surface of the soil being moist followed by freezing weather. As moist soil freezes and thaws, small pockets are formed on the wet, bare soil that is perfect for catching and holding seed.
