Det særegne trumfer alt, det enestående belønnes, mens det almindelige og standardiserede nærmest virker kedeligt. Gennemsnitsmennesket med sit gennemsnitsliv mistænkes for at være konformt. Den nye målestok for alting er ikke blot de autentiske subjekter med originale interesser og “kuraterede” biografier, men også de unikke varer og events, fællesskaber og byer. Senmoderne samfund dyrker det singulære.Med udgangspunkt i denne diagnose udforsker Andreas Reckwitz den singulariseringsproces, der i begyndelsen af 2000-tallet foregår inden for økonomien, i arbejdsverdenen, i den digitale teknologi, på livsstilsområdet og i det politiske liv. I et forsøg på at opstille en ny teori om moderniteten viser han, hvor tæt sammenvævet denne proces er med kulturaliseringen af det sociale, hvor modsigelsesfuld en dynamik den rummer, og hvordan dens vrangside ser ud. Singulariseringens samfund kan nemlig ikke kun opvise prægtige vindere, men producerer også sine helt egne uligheder, paradokser og tabere.Andreas Reckwitz er professor i kultursociologi ved Europa-Universität Viadrina i Frankfurt an der Oder og har begået en banebrydende og retningsanvisende bog om den samtid, vi lever i.

Den danske billedkunstner John Kørner (f. 1967) forener det klassiske landskabsmaleri med motiver fra en til tider brutal virkelighed i sin billedverden, hvor sociale og politiske emner materialiseres som problemer af både lokal og global karakter. I monografien fremhæves Kørner som multikunstner, der dog har fastholdt maleriet som den billedform, han viser en uforbeholden tillid til. Kørners farverige malerier, skulpturer, grafik og installationer bringer læseren helt ind i kunstnerens mangeårige oevre. I samtale med Marie Nipper, der kuraterede Kørners store retrospektive udstilling Altid mange problemer på Kunsthal Charlottenborg i 2017, fortæller Kørner om sin lyst til at formulere sig i rumlige installationer, der rækker ud over lærredets traditionelle grænser, og om de dramatiske højdepunkter og begivenheder, der til stadighed påvirker ham. Kurator Max Andrews (frieze) og kunstkritiker Oliver Basciano (ArtReview) reflekterer i de to essays “Kørner-problemet” og “Det gode med det onde” over Kørners mangeårige arbejde med `problemet´ som gennemgående figur. På både godt og ondt hører problemer med til det at være i verden. Problemer er vigtige, for både mennesket og kunsten.Monografien JOHN KØRNER er den mest omfattende udgivelse om kunstneren til dato.JOHN KØRNERHardcover280 siderGennemillustreretTekst parallelt på dansk og engelskUdgivet på Roulette Russe

Hvad er perfection? Og på hvilket stadie er en blomst allersmukkest? Ligesom i den smukke natur, er alt ikke på sit højeste hele tiden, forfald er en del af den naturlige cyklus, og skønhed findes i alle stadier. Arbejdet med tørrede blomster er en måde at hylde naturens skønhed og forfald.Med denne bog om tørrede blomster vil vi vise, at blomster også har et liv efter døden. Som en forlængelse af den bæredygtige tankegang kan man også recycle blomster. Tørrede blomster er en måde at spare på resurserne, at genbruge, og at gøre op med ”brug og smid væk kulturen”.Bogen gennemgår tips til, hvilke blomster der kan tørres, hvor de kommer fra i naturen, haven, eller fra fremmede lande, hvor meget man må samle i naturen samt metoder til at tørre og gemme dem. Her er også masser af inspiration til, hvad man stiller op med blomsterne i dekorationer, kranse, terrarier, buketter og kunstneriske installationer, alle med DIY-vejledninger.Tørrede blomster kan være både dramatiske, elegante, mystiske og ikke mindst smukke og i særdeleshed poetiske.Dorthe Kvist er selvstændig havedesigner, stylist, blogger, forfatter og ejer af Meltdesignstudio.
