Oberbayern ist von Kontrasten geprägt. Wie die Region, so auch die Baukultur. Wie vielschichtig die oberbayerische gebaute Umwelt wirklich ist, zeigt diese Publikation anschaulich. Sie ist das Ergebnis des vom BDA Kreisverband München-Oberbayern erstmals 2020 ausgelobten Regionalpreises «Über Oberbayern». Regionale Unterschiede erfahrbar machen: Mit den Preisen, Anerkennungen, Nominierungen und allen weiteren Einreichungen wird in dieser Publikation ein breites Spektrum der Architektur von Ingolstadt bis Garmisch, fertiggestellt zwischen 2019 und 2024, dokumentiert. Alle ausgezeichneten Projekte setzen sich mit der Besonderheit des Ortes, des Kontextes und der Nachhaltigkeit auseinander und dienen somit als Diskussionsgrundlage sowie Inspirationsquelle für Architektur und Städtebau.

Established in 2010 by Stefanie Seidl in a former gateway for horse-drawn carriages that is now enclosed by glazing at both ends, the project space BERLIN-WEEKLY offers the narrow yet exceptionally tall display space to artists as a highly visible public stage for installations that respond to the setting or site. Its unilateral orientation toward the street makes BERLIN-WEEKLY a creative intervention into the urban fabric that harnesses the shopwindow format. The book presents 100 selected window installations to illustrate the widely diverse ways in which individual artists have engaged with the venue, time and again transforming the unusually shaped small space.

There are movie-goers, movie fans, and movie lovers. REEL CHANGE III is for all three. For the passively curious to the die-hard deep divers, REEL CHANGE offers looks into and behind the magic of what's on the big and little screen. There are farewells to icons like James Caan and Ray Liotta, X-ray examinations of the inner changes in a business that almost overnight has become dominated by streaming, and retrospective looks at the movies well-remembered (Planet of the Apes, Titanic) as well as those overlooked and unjustly forgotten like those in 1973, a year overstuffed with classics like American Graffiti art house gems like Badlands. After REEL CHANGE III, the next time you park yourself in a theater seat or in front of your TV, your eyes will be a little wider and you'll see a little more.

What fun!" - Betty Jo Tucker, film critic and award-winning author of Confessions of a Movie Addict, Susan Sarandon: A True Maverick, Cinema Stanzas and Cinema Stanzas Two.

Facts, insights, stories and reflections from a writer who really knows make the world of movies richer and more fun." - Josh Sapan, Media Executive "One punchy, opinionated, beautifully-crafted essay after another. Mesce might just be the best film writer you've never heard of, and you owe it to yourself to change that."- David Breckman, writer/co-producer, MONK

The first edition of Old Salem at Sea in Ballad and Song contained 89 songs and ballads recalling Salem and reflecting Salem's rich maritime history and its relationship to the sea. Many songs found were documented in shipping logbooks, broadsides, songbooks, or periodicals. Some of these ballads will be familiar, while some may be new or slightly different to the reader. Most of the material in this book comes from public domain sources. In this second edition of Old Salem at Sea in Ballad and Song, we published a larger format for ease of reading, added the Roud Folk Song Index numbers, and included forty-five additional songs. Over time, folk music enthusiasts became aware of my project, and more ballads and songs surfaced and needed inclusion in the new edition.* Folk singer, researcher, and entrepreneur Lisa Null suggested a song from her youth called Old Salem Town Once More. Lisa's family sang the song to her as a child in the 1950s while living in Worcester, Massachusetts.* Irish ballad singer Michael O'Leary introduced me to Salem-born George Edward Clark, aka Yankee Ned, who had four songs published in the book called Fisherman's Ballads and Songs of The Sea.* Peter Marston sang a version of the Ghostly Crew at the Monday night Shanty Sing in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The song is about how the fishing schooner the Charles Haskell and its deadly collision with the Andrew Johnson out of Salem on the George's Bank and how the crew of the Andrew Johnson haunted the Charles Haskell, working their regular nightly shift before going overboard and heading back to Salem.

ART CHÂTEAU - ?Vernissage imaginaire? with Bordeaux WineArt, Wine, Poetry, and MusicMusic suggestion: Johann Sebastian Bach?s ?Brandenburg Concertos?Cultural and historical gem: Saint EmilionA festive occasion like an anniversary or a vernissage is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fine wine. This gave us the idea to create a series of books called ?Art Château? celebrating the special relationship between wine and art. Wine as a cultural treasure goes far beyond drinking. Wine cannot be considered a muse, it is however, said that only those who value art, poetry, and music, can truly treasure it. This art and gift book introduces 44 selected artists from 22 countries around the globe. Feel free to pick a painting, mindfully dwell on it following our instructions for meditative art observation, and relax ? as you would at a winetasting. Art has always been the product of history and contemplation. In the same vein, based on the ?Enter-into-Art? concept, each book in the ?LOUNGE 1? series will introduce the famous cultural treasure of a specific wine region, and one or several works of music to accompany it.ART CHÂTEAU - ?Vernissage imaginaire? mit Bordeaux-WeinKunst, Wein, Lyrik und MusikMusikalische Empfehlung: ?Brandenburgische Konzerte? von Johann Sebastian BachKulturhistorisches Kleinod: Sankt EmilionAn Festtagen oder zu besonderen Anlässen wie zum Beispiel einem Jubiläum oder einer Vernissage bietet sich die Gelegenheit einen edlen Wein zu genießen. Letzteres gab den Anstoß dafür, die Buchreihe ?Art Château? der besonderen Beziehung zwischen Wein und Kunst zu widmen. Der Wein als Kulturgut geht weit über das Trinken hinaus. Während der Wein nicht als Muse zu betrachten ist, können angeblich nur diejenigen ihm ernsthaft huldigen, die eine Affinität zu musischen Dingen verspüren, sich an Kunstwerken erfreuen, Gedichte lesen und Musik zu schätzen wissen. Im vorliegenden Kunst- und Geschenkbuch werden 44 ausgewählte Künstlerinnen und Künstler aus 22 Ländern rund um den Globus vorgestellt. Man suche sich ein Bild aus, vertiefe sich mithilfe der Anleitung für eine meditative Kunstbetrachtung achtsam in das Werk und entspanne - wie bei einer Weinverkostung. Kunst ist stets aus Historie und Kontemplation hervorgegangen. In diesem Sinne wird laut dem ?Enter into Art? - Konzept in der Reihe ?LOUNGE 1? jeweils ein kulturhistorisches Kleinod einer Weinregion vorgestellt, zu dessen Begleitung ein berühmtes Musikstück empfohlen und erläutert wird.
