„Mám rád strašlivé věci. Věci, které nás změní, když je vidíme," říká americký fotograf Joel-Peter Witkin, který už více než pět desetiletí patří k nejvlivnějším autorům, již posunuli fotografii do centra výtvarného umění. Jeho inscenované obrazy a důsledná práce s materiálem tisku rozrušují hranice mezi fotografií a malbou, mezi dokumentem a scénou. Výstava Rozbitý svět v Centru současného umění DOX představuje Witkinovy fotografie, přípravné kresby a skici. Řada z nich je k vidění vůbec poprvé. Projekt mapuje pozdní autorovo období let 2010 až 2025, v němž se jeho důraz na tělesnost, posvátno a memento mori prohlubuje a zpřesňuje. Do světa Witkinových fotografií jsme se vydali s kurátorem výstavy a teoretikem umění Otto M. Urbanem. V podcastu vysvětlil, proč je při návštěvě výstavy třeba zpomalit, proč nevnímá Witkina jako provokativního umělce, kde všude hledá Witkin krásu a k čemu odkazuje název výstavy Rozbitý svět.Výstavu navštěvujte do 5. dubna 2026.www.dox.cz/program/joel-peter-witkin-rozbity-svet

All Things Considered by G. K. Chesterton Loyal Books Another delightful and sharply pointed excursion into the topics of the day, and of this day as well, with Gilbert Keith Chesterton. These reprinted magazine articles are filled with his good natured wit, his masterful use of paradox, and devastating ability to use reductio ad absurdum to destroy the popular myths that drive a society driving full-speed into secular humanism. You will come away with a whole new collection of wonderful quotes. (Ray Clare) Ballade of Suicide, A by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of A Ballade of Suicide by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for May 20, 2012.Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer. He published works on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox". Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out." For example, Chesterton wrote "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it." (Summary by Wikipedia ) What's Wrong With the World by G. K. Chesterton Loyal Books Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) has been called the “prince of paradox.” Time magazine observed of his writing style: “Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.” His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. The title of Chesteron’s 1910 collection of essays was inspired by a title given to him two years earlier by The Times newspaper, which had asked a number of authors to write on the topic: “What’s wrong with the world?”. Chesterton’s answer at that time was the shortest of those submitted – he simply wrote: “Dear Sirs, I am. Sincerely yours, G.K. Chesterton”. In this collection he gives a fuller treatment of the question, with his characteristic conservative wit. What's Wrong With the World by G. K.
