Mejor conocida por crear trabajos de instalación a gran escala inspirados en la arquitectura vernácula estadounidense, Dennis encuentra la belleza en lugares moldeados por personas comunes, que se convierten en depósitos de memoria y sentimientos. Sus sitios aparentemente familiares, pero a menudo oscuramente misteriosos evocan recuerdos, fomentan la reflexión y aluden a la naturaleza transitoria de la vida. Este libro contextualiza el trabajo de Dennis dentro del arte contemporáneo y los movimientos feministas y traza el arco de su carrera, rastreando la evolución de su escultura arquitectónica durante más de cuarenta años, explorando sus colaboraciones artísticas con poetas y presentando su trabajo más reciente, una serie de gouaches y dioramas, por primera vez. ,Una conversación entre Dennis y el pintor Rackstraw Downes da vida a las influencias de la artista a través de sus propias palabras. Con un texto perspicaz de la estudiosa de arte feminista Helaine Posner, además de comentarios de Dennis sobre las fuentes y el proceso de creación de la obra, este libro es una adición esencial a las bibliotecas de coleccionistas e historiadores del arte interesados & 8203,& 8203,en el movimiento de escultura arquitectónica de la década de 1970, y todos los interesados & 8203,& 8203,en el feminismo en el arte.

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. And despite his tone of gentle bemusement, Saint-Exupéry pulls off some fine satiric touches, too.

'Star'' is a book about art. A book about appropiation and public domain. About brand, identity and copyright. It is a book about money. Still and nevertheless —,nevertheless—, it is a book with a soul, where children play and run about in their sunday clothes. A book that raises to some cloudy sacred place where only the blessed dwell. In 2013 Nacho García broke the boundaries of his own domestic look into the world with Pulir, a hazardous tour de force against dull fixed parameters of art books and comics. Knowing —,maybe not knowing—, he had already walked the path from memes and bedroom epistemology by challenging the trivia stereotypes of the quirk and the mundane, his new book is a heartfelt statement about the politics of raw abstract truisms and platitudes of art. Everyday life, money, celebrities, internet are art forms here, just as hellfire and custom metal logos, becoming res nullius, res communes, res publicae and res universitatis while over two hundred ideas made in heaven find their way into corporeality, proving that if it can be written in Arial, then it's REAL.

They might just be in love with each other.When Sophie Steinbeck finds out just before her nuptials that her fiancé has cheated yet again, she desperately wants to call it off. But because her future father-in-law is her dad’s cutthroat boss, she doesn’t want to be the one to do it.
