Point of View presents Danish photographer Henrik Saxgren's utterly original perspective on the world. With 102 black-and-white and 11 color photographs, this large-format volume reflects the diversity of the photojournalist's experience: from Copenhagen to Gaza, from Rwanda to Haiti, Saxgren offers a compassionate view of the struggles and triumphs of everyday life. Whether he's depicting a Danish family picnicking in a parking lot, Cuban exiles afloat on rubber inner tubes, Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem, or the ecstasy of Haitian mud baths, Henrik Saxgren proves an insightful and crafty witness, placing himself repeatedly at the eye of storms of human activity.
Katharina Sieverding entwickelte für das Museum Schloss Moyland eine Ausstellung, die sich aus verschiedenen multimedialen Projektionen und fotografischen Arbeiten von 1968 bis 2013 zu einer umfassenden Installation zusammensetzt. Die Krönung der Ausstellung bildet die Arbeit 'DIE SONNE UM MITTERNACHT SCHAUEN', für die Katharina Sieverding von Mai 2010 bis Juni 2013 kontinuierlich etwa 100.000 visuelle Informationsdaten der NASA herunterlud und zu einem dynamischen Bild der Sonnenoberfläche künstlerisch verdichtete. Eine leuchtend blaue Kugel mit unaufhörlichen Lichtwechseln in Kratern und über Gebirgen auf der Oberfläche und umgeben von einer hell flammenden Aura durchschwebt körperhaft den Raum.0Exhibition: Museum Schloss Moyland, Bedburg-Hau, Germany (28.7.-24.11.2013).
"Seventy pairs of photographs, ranging in date from the earliest days of the medium to the present, document instances where, by direct influence or pure coincidence, two photographers were drawn to identical or very similar subjects. Though alike in content, the photographs within the pairs are strikingly different - unique in their formal and technical details and in the varying perceptions they describe." -- Cover flap.

Detailing has traditionally been relegated to the lowest tier in an architectural office - the apprentices, interns, and newly licensed. And yet architectural detailing has the ability to elevate projects to the highest level of aesthetic expression. Now, for the first time in book form, there's a collection of projects displaying the "nuts and bolts" of creative architectural detailing in building design - one that offers a treasure of examples for creating richer detailing using state-of-the-art techniques. Putting the lie to the common assumption that quality detailing is either prohibitively expensive or that it requires an obsession with technology, the book shows how architects address practical architectural needs with aggressively innovative and aesthetically expressive solutions. Among its special features schematics, working drawings, and photographs of actual built details - all in one place; depictions of details that can be created with readily available materials; easy-to-follow classification of details by function and use; and examples of state-of-the-art technology and materials for a wide variety of situations. On display are details that add touches to buildings that go far beyond the commonplace moldings, trim, eaves, and flashing of typical construction. Projects represent a wide range of budgets. The detailing of walls, ceilings, roofs, doors, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, siding and exterior trim, millwork, mantelpieces, and light fixtures are all examined in a wide variety of approaches by some of America's leading architects. Lavishly illustrated with 350 line drawings and photographs, this book shows the architectural detailing work of some of our country's most gifted architects at the peak of their abilities. The art of creating details that are expressive as well as technologically sound is featured from such masters as Stanley Tigerman, Peter Bohlin, James Cutler, George Ranalli, Alfredo De Vido, and many more of today's most exciting and innovative designers.
