A Most Dangerous Voyage: An Exhibit of Books and Maps Documenting Four Centuries of Exploration in Search of the Northwest Passage
ISBN: 9781551952031 / Angielski / Miękka / 95 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arctic exploration has long captured the interest and imagination of explorers, nations, and the public. For more than 400 years, European explorers were lured to the Arctic to try to discover a commercial trading route to the Far East, where gold, spices, silk, and other valuable goods were readily available. Expeditions failed to locate the elusive Northwest Passage because virtually nothing was known about the Arctic Archipelago. Early mariners believed that Arctic waters were not frozen for the entire year, but of course it was a false hope that summer months offered safe passage. The...

Guillaume Bijl
ISBN: 9783037644683 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Self-taught Belgian artist Guillaume Bijl is mostly known for his alternative take on conceptual art, his desire to directly engage the viewer and his Transformation Installations begun in the late 1970s. In these works he created meticulous imitations of everyday realities in galleries and museums, mainly focusing on trade and exchange locations--whether in commodities, information or skills.
Bijl's practice is however much richer and more diverse and largely goes beyond this landmark series. This reference monograph thus reveals the scope of his thinking and art during the last...

Distant blue hills, soaring trees, vast cloudless skies--the majesty of nature has always had the power to lift the human spirit. For some it evokes a sense of timelessness and wonder.
