  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

    PRESS RELEASE Phillips Selects studioMDA to Design New Space at 432 Park Ave. Founder Markus Dochantschi to Lead Effort to Create a Space for a 21st-Century Auction House NEW YORK – 30 OCTOBER 2019 – Phillips is pleased to announce the selection of studioMDA, founded by Markus Dochantschi, to design its new headquarters at 432 Park Avenue in New York. Having worked extensively with renowned art collectors, artists and galleries to create innovative and provocative gallery and exhibition spaces, studioMDA plans to create a one-of-a-kind setting that promises to transform Phillips into a leading venue for experiencing art in New York. “We chose this outstanding firm for several reasons,” said Edward Dolman, Chief Executive Officer of Phillips. “First and foremost, we selected studioMDA for its consistent design excellence. Markus has developed a strong reputation for the exceptional quality of his work designing some of the most elegant art galleries and exhibition spaces built in the last decade. In addition, his firm’s cultural experience means he not only understands our unique needs, but also the collaborative nature of our business. Phillips has experienced exponential growth in recent years, and the selection of studioMDA will ensure that our new home offers collectors an extraordinary new space to experience the very best of contemporary art, design, jewelry and watches.” Phillips plans to move into Macklowe Properties’ 432 Park Avenue, one of the tallest residential towers in the Western Hemisphere, early next year. The auction house will assume more than 55,000 square feet of commercial space in the double-height, column-free underground concourse, as well as take over the Park Avenue Cube, a white-glass modernist structure of more than 5,000 square feet on the northwest corner of 56th Street and Park Avenue, and move its staff into office space across from the Four Seasons Hotel.

  • Luhring Augustine Adds New Gallery in Tribeca, Joining Its Chelsea and Bushwick Spaces Opening in 2020 and Marking Luhring Augus
    Luhring Augustine Adds New Gallery in Tribeca, Joining its Chelsea and Bushwick Spaces Opening in 2020 and Marking Luhring Augustine’s 35th Anniversary Inaugural Year Exhibitions Include Georg Baselitz, Lucia Nogueira, and Charles Atlas September 13, 2019 –Luhring Augustine is excited to announce the future opening of a new gallery space in Tribeca. Scheduled to debut in early 2020 and located at 17 White Street, the new venue joins Luhring Augustine’s existing locations in Chelsea and Bushwick, providing three different New York spaces and distinctive exhibition platforms for the gallery’s diverse programs. This new gallery will maintain its ‘downtown’ character — from the tin ceiling to its wooden floors — recalling the SoHo galleries of decades past. Luhring Augustine’s Chelsea gallery, which opened in 1998, provides two well-proportioned white-box galleries, while Bushwick, established in 2012, is an open, flexible exhibition space that can accommodate large-scale installations, films and videos, and long-term projects. The new 3,500 square-foot space is being renovated by Markus Dochantschi and his team at studioMDA. Recognized for its modern, minimal gallery designs, studioMDA is restoring the building’s original atmosphere to reflect the area’s architectural history. “We have long been looking for a space in Tribeca where we could join the growing community of notable galleries, both older and younger, in providing a fresh and exciting new context that is rejuvenating the contemporary art scene in New York City,” said Luhring Augustine co-founders Lawrence Luhring and Roland Augustine. “Operating three New York galleries in Chelsea, Bushwick, and Tribeca will allow us to present a diverse sweep of exhibitions, and encourage artists to show their work in distinct environments and areas of the city.

  • Third Quarterly Report, July – September, 2008
    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa DOCUMENTATION CENTER OF CAMBODIA Phnom Penh, Cambodia www.dccam.org Third Quarter Report July – September 2008 SUMMARY Activities for the Khmer Rouge Tribunal This quarter the Legal Response Team provided 9,313 document pages to the ECCC, defense council, and civil party lawyers. Five summer associates from law schools in the United States submitted memos to ECCC offices on issues currently before the Court, for which they received much thanks. In August, the Center concluded a contract with the ECCC to provide translation services through January 2009. This quarter it translated 271 pages for the Court. Victim Participation Project The Victim Participation (VPA) Team spent nearly three weeks in Takeo province, where they collected nearly 200 complaints. All nine of the civil party applicants the team assisted were accepted as parties in the S-21 case. The team researched and interviewed potential legal representatives for these parties and was in final negotiations with a team at the end of the quarter. In her personal capacity, fellow Sarah Thomas helped DC-Cam assisted Civil Parties in filing a response to the Pre-Trial Chamber’s decision refusing an unrepresented Civil Party’s right to address the Chamber directly. The PTC subsequently issued directions allowing genuinely unrepresented Civil Parties to address the Court. Documentation and Exhibitions The Documentation Team keyed/catalogued over 4500 records and worksheets this quarter, all of which were from the Swedish (D) collection. Backup copies were sent to the ECCC and Rutgers University. The Museum and Exhibition Project Team began work on a new international photo exhibit entitled “Living Hell: Democratic Kampuchea 1978,” using photos from an Quarter 2, 2008, page 1 archive of materials of a 14-day visit to Democratic Kampuchea by the Swedish- Kampuchea Friendship Association in August 1978.

Davis and Stephen F. Gray Harvard University Graduate School of Design,1 USA Abstract Conventional views of the High Line emphasize either its formal and ecological design attributes or its role in gentrification and displacement. While accurate, such assessments mostly ignore the agency-driven, activ- ist agendas that brought the project about and that continue to propel its equity mission both locally and around the world. This essay places the High Line’s implementation and longer-term impacts in the context of citi- zen advocacy. It reveals the strategies and tactics used by local residents to undermine initial opposition by city officials and local developers; it identi- fies the ways that project supporters understood themselves to have become victims of their own success; and it details the organizational and program- matic responses undertaken by the Friends of the High Line to compensate for the project’s negative impacts, ranging from the development of inclu- sive programming to the establishment of an inter-city advocacy network for sharing ideas about how to repurpose industrial infrastructures as pub- lic spaces that reinforce equity and inclusion.
