The Videography of Darcy Lange is a critical monograph of a pivotal figure in early analogue video. Trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, Lange developed a socially engaged video practice with remarkable studies of people at work in industrial, farming, and teaching contexts that drew from conceptual art, social documentary and structuralist filmmaking. Lange saw in portable video a democratic tool for communication and social transformation, continuing the legacy of the revolutionary avant-garde projects that merged art with social life and turned audiences into producers. This book follows Lange's trajectory from his early observational studies to the crisis of representation and socially engaged video and activism, as it is shaped by, and resists, the artistic, cultural and political preoccupations of the 1970s and 1980s. It strikes a balance between being a monographic account providing a close analysis of Lange's oeuvre and drawing from unpublished archival materials¿a sort of catalogue raisonné¿whilst maintaining a breadth with theoretical discourses around the themes of labour and class, education, and indigenous struggles central to his work. The book's frameworks of Conceptual Art, structuralist and ethnographic film theory, social documentary and the critique of representation, video as social practice and the notion of 'feedback', participatory socially engaged art and postcolonial and indigenous theory,¿expand our understanding of video outside the predominant structuralist tendencies. Lange's transnational and nomadic career introduces notions of alterity and challenges nationalistic accounts that excluded him in the past.

As an artist myself, I have always observed art as a manifestation of human culture. Just as culture varies significantly from one society to the other with a little shift in geography, even in our own country, so does art in its different forms and uniqueness. Thus the three entities are deeply inter-linked to each other. Through my sketches, I have tried to portray realistic flavors of a few sections of the society in different parts of India. My work will be successful only when it is capable to strike a chord with the emotional quotient of my readers. Being a son of the soil to the ""Cultural Capital"" of India, Kolkata is woven around my soul. That is why my readers may find proportionately more anecdotes in and around the 'City of Joy'. -Indranil Mukherjee

Im November 2020 wurden Depeche Mode in die "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" aufgenommen. Bei der Annahme der Ehrung sagte David Gahan: "Ich möchte mich bei Anton Corbijn bedanken, der Gott sei Dank zur richtigen Zeit zu uns stieß und uns tatsächlich cool aussehen ließ." Ebenfalls im Herbst 2020 brachte TASCHEN den limitierten und von Depeche Mode und Anton Corbijn signierten Band Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) heraus, der sich zu einer der am schnellsten verkauften Collector's Editions in der Geschichte des Verlags entwickelte. Diese günstige und aktualisierte Ausgabe im handlichen Hosen-TASCHEN-Format gibt Zeugnis von Corbijns einzigartiger Vision und ist in der Tat so "cool", wie Gahan in seiner Rede würdigte. In der reich illustrierten Geschichte erfährt man, wie Corbijn, der 1986 de facto Kreativdirektor der Band wurde, dazu beitrug, Depeche Modes Ruf als größter Kultband der Welt zu untermauern. Der Band enthält über 150 Fotos aus Corbijns umfangreichem Archiv, darunter sowohl offizielle als auch privatere Bandporträts, aufgenommen in Madrid, Hamburg, der Wüste Kaliforniens, Prag oder Marrakesch; dazu eine Vielzahl von spontanen, ungestellten Bildern und atemberaubende Live-Aufnahmen von sämtlichen Tourneen von 1988 bis 2023 . Entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Band gewährt Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn eine Vielzahl von Einblicken in die Arbeit mit Corbijn und zeigt auf eindrucksvolle Weise, wie die einzigartige Ästhetik eines Mannes, von dem sämtliche Fotografien, die meisten Musikvideos, Albumcover und Setdesigns stammen, die anhaltende Popularität der Band prägten. In der Einleitung erinnert sich Corbijn an seine vielschichtige Rolle bei Depeche Mode: "Vieles hing von mir ab. Ich wollte einfach der Richtige für sie sein, für sie mitdenken und aus mir das Allerbeste herausholen." Der Band zeugt von der Tiefe und Breite dieser Großartigkeit und feiert eine der kreativsten und beständigsten Kooperationen der Musikgeschichte.

How do photographers select, order, and display their images? Conceived as part of a long-term project at the CCA to examine the contemporary role of photography in the study and practice of architecture, The Lives of Documents - Photography as Project prompts reflections on the idea of the documentary as an embedded quality of photography. Tracing the research materials, archiving practices, and production processes of diverse authors, photographers Bas Princen and Stefano Graziani highlight a selection of photographic projects that model our visible world by investigating notions of landscape and its destruction, global infrastructure, intimacy and interiority, and conditions of urban and domestic space and life. This publication follows Princen and Graziani's travels to understand how artists use photography as a tool for their artistic research and how they conceive of their projects as evolving and expanding explorations.

An attitude of gratitude, which is both simple and profound, may change people and the way they see the world. It's the state of mind when you're grateful for others and ready to express your thanks and pay it forward. In a world where difficulties and unknowns are the norm, the idea of appreciation shines like a beacon, showing us the way to happiness and peace of mind. This essay examines the heart of thankfulness, from its historical roots to the numerous ways in which gratitude can increase one's sense of well-being. How Thankfulness BeganAncient philosophical and theological traditions are the source of the concept of appreciation. Almost all of the world's main faiths stress the value of gratitude. Numerous Bible texts emphasize the value of gratitude, making it a core Christian virtue. Muslims are commanded in the Quran to thank Allah continually. Gratitude is a central tenet of spirituality in both Hinduism and Buddhism. Stoicism and Confucianism, to name just two philosophical traditions, have long praised the benefits of thankfulness outside of religious contexts. The Stoics believed that practicing thankfulness was the key to finding happiness and staying strong in the face of misfortune. Confucius wrote extensively on the role of thankfulness in fostering community and preserving peace. The responsibilities of work, relationships, and personal ambitions often push thankfulness to the sidelines in today's fast-paced world. However, practicing thankfulness on a regular basis can have profound consequences on one's emotional and physical health.
