  • “This fascinating assortment of case histories, spread across 1,400 years and six continents, is an impressive feat of research. All of the chapters are based on a solid body of up-to-date historical writing. The summaries of often complex historical background to the lives explored are models of lucid compression. The short biographies themselves are lively yet judicious, packed with vivid detail but willing, where necessary, to question or dismiss colorful legend. And the reader will come away with a new sense of the many ways in which Ireland has interacted with the world beyond its shores, and of some of the extraordinary careers that have resulted. — BBC History Magazine

  • A city becomes dead when it loses its dynamism, or, in urbanists’ terms, its ‘livability’. It enters a condition in which businesses dwindle, shops close down, products disappear, prices go up, wages go down–and its inhabitants begin to abandon it, as though jumping from a sinking ship...On an elevated area of 5,500km2 between Aleppo and Idlib, referred to as the Limestone Massif, there lies an aggregation of 820 abandoned settlements, mostly dating to the Byzantine era. These are known as the Dead Cities of Syria. Within them can be found more than two thousand churches, in addition to pagan temples, Roman baths, olive oil presses and cemeteries. Like many Syrian remains, they stretch over time from the Aramaic and Hittite to the more recent Islamic...They exemplify in their rich yet modest architecture a thriving community that depended on agriculture and oil extraction to maintain a hermetic way of life–until, for no evident reason, it withered away. In BUILDING FOR HOPE Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni, seeks to understand how cities and buildings—scarred by conflict, blight, and pandemic—can be healed through design and urban mindfulness.

  • From Judy Chicago on her new book, THE FLOWERING, available July 20, 2021: Since the fall of 2019, which seems like a lifetime ago, I embarked on a long journey of self-reflection as I revisited my two earlier autobiographies, Through the Flower and Beyond the Flower. It was like having an in-depth conversation with my younger self. As I result, I decided to reexamine my life and career, update the story I began in 1975 and add a whole new section to deal with how much has changed since 1996, when Beyond the Flower ended. On this last day of Women’s History Month, I am so excited to unveil the cover for my complete autobiography The Flowering which will hopefully be inspiring, empowering, and useful to anyone interested in making a change—a goa1 which has fueled my career. The Flowering, with a foreword by Gloria Steinem, will be published on July 20, 2021—coincidentally my 82nd birthday—by Thames & Hudson. Through the Flower, the non-profit arts organization that I founded in 1977, is now taking advance orders for signed copies! @Judy.Chicago #JudyChicago #ThroughtheFlower #Salon94 #JessicaSilvermanGallery #TurnerCarrollGallery #JeffreyDeitchGallery #artofinstagram #artdaily #artgram #womenartists

  • There are many quiet, busy and integral forms of intelligence in nature that pass under our radar. While we wait to experience live music again we're tuning in to NEW PSYCHEDELIA, the definitive monograph on the work of celebrated artist and album cover designer, Leif Podhajsky. Best known for his striking, Grammy-nominated album covers for musicians, like Foals, Bonobo, Lykke Li, and Young Magic, Podhajsky deftly crosses the boundary between sound and visual art. ©Leif Podhajsky, I’m In Disarray, 2019
