Описание: Rock the Shack takes us to the places we long for. For the first time in the history of humankind, more people live in cities than in the country. Yet, at the same time, more and more city dwellers are yearning for rural farms, mountain cabins, or seaside homes. These kinds of refuges offer modern men and women a promise of what urban centers usually cannot provide: quiet, relaxation, being out of reach, getting back to basics, feeling human again.
Rock the Shack is a survey of such contemporary refuges from around the world—from basic to luxury. The book features a compelling range of sparingly to intricately furnished cabins, cottages, second homes, tree houses, transformations, shelters, and cocoons. The look of the included structures from the outside is just as important as the view from inside. What these diverse projects have in common is an exceptional spirit that melds the uniqueness of a geographic location with the individual character of the building’s owner and architect.

Описание: John Lennon said: "We're going to live, or we're going to die. If we're dead, we're going to have to deal with that. If we're alive, we're going to have to deal with being alive." Is there a curse on Rock 'n' Roll? Is talent so powerful that it destroys? The death of one of the purest musical talents in recent years, Amy Winehouse, has reopened this and many other questions.
The "Club 27" really does exist, and it includes some of the best musicians of all time, very young adults who created works of art but who were themselves overwhelmed by art. This volume tells their story: from the first, Robert Johnson, who is said to have sold his soul to the devil for the gift of Blues, on to Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain, and passing through the runaway lives of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, the mysterious death of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, and the fatality of "the day the music died" in 1959, when Buddy Holly's airplane crashed.

Описание: This documentation traces the imagery in contemporary art that has been inspired by rock and roll from its beginnings in the 1950s right up to 1995. The author explains that it was Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed who first coined the phrase "rock and roll", at a time when contemporary art was poles apart from the masses. Art critics considered the Abstract Expressionist artists, such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, to be beyond everyday human experience. With the teenagers of a new generation accounting for more than half of all record sales, rock and roll was soon set to influence emergent young artists. In the late fifties Ray Johnson, Andy Warhol and Richard Hamilton were the first to incorporate rock images and influences in their work. The book comprises a series of contributions, each of which examines different aspects of the influences in a chronological sequence. Often different artists were influenced by different aspects of rock and roll - Warhol, Grooms, Cleveland and Koons for instance were influenced by stardom. Other artists used rock personalities' names for titles of abstract compositions to impose the complexities of the celebrity on their work. The influence of rock music was not just confined to thecording artists themselves; several works predominantly abstract have been named after song titles. Vinyl records even appear as a component part in some works. The text is not confined to reviewing the works of well-known contemporary artists. It includes a cross-section of the many lesser known names influenced by the rock and roll culture. The media employed by these artists and reviewed in the book range from conventional painting through collage, screen printing, photography, and sculpture to mixed media and many kinds of installation. This infiltration throughout the infrastructure of contemporary art has ensured rock and roll's longevity as a defining influence. All 166 works illustrated are fully captioned and their inspiration, relevance and interpretation are discussed in depth. Debbie Harry is the writer of the epigraph.
