A Brief History of Antisemitism by Israel B. Bitton

michagross — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 06:45:15 +0000

The world is in crisis: antisemitism, the “longest hatred,” is rearing its ugliest heads, again. Although much has been written about the subject, very little has been done to educate the public specifically about antisemitism―existing curricula are either outdated or not comprehensive, and none are designed to be engaging, especially to the younger audiences that need to learn this subject most. A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism aims to fill that glaring gap, not merely as a history textbook but as an epidemiological study that analyzes the pathology of the antisemitism virus from ancient to modern times: when, where, and how did antisemitism first emerge? How did the disease of Jew-hatred spread so far and wide? Why has the hateful virus proven so resilient over time? The goal of this highly visual book is thus not merely to inform of what has already transpired, but to empower individuals to make sense of the avalanche of anti-Jewish invective in real-time. As an added feature, Augmented Reality technology allows readers to use their phones (and a free app) to scan highlighted areas and reveal a trove of bonus contents such as archival footage, animations, official documents, and 3D objects that offer immersive perspectives on historical landmarks.

The exhibition explores the material nature of the technological cloud and modern communication networks via the unique case of Israel and its environs. By surveying the rapid changes endured by these information infrastructures, the exhibition highlights the economic and geopolitical processes currently underway in Israel and the region, and the role of architecture in these.

Architecture in Flip-Flops: Bat Yam, 1920-1990 by Daphna Levine

michagross — Mon, 22 May 2023 16:43:07 +0000

The wide variety of building types solidified in Bat Yam during the first few decades resembles a pastiche of architectural catalogs. Over the years, Bat Yam has provided space for Israeli social and architectural experimentation. Under the city's overarching blueprint, Zionism's narrative unfolded, and so did the everyday tales of city life. Massive investments in real estate in the last decade and effervescent plans for urban regeneration highlight the need to formulate Bat Yam's unique urban narrative and examine how the elusive Bat Yam character expresses itself. Now is the time to think of Bat Yam as a fascinating place derivative of the Zionist project. It is the right time to think of Bat Yam and cities like it as the front room of Israeli residence, as a display of needs, actions, and the forces at play. It's time to think of Bat Yam as prose.Dr. Daphna Levine is an architect and urban renewal researcher. As director of the strategic planning department in the Bat Yam municipality, she led the city's conservation plan; this book is the product of this fascinating endeavor.Architecture in Flip-Flops: Bat Yam, 1920-1990 Daphna Levine

" [...] בת ים, עיר שנדמתה בעיני התמות כאילו פוסלה בחול ובמלח, וחופה פלש לרחובותיה. תושבי העיר דשדשו לכל מקום בכפכפיהם האדומים-שחורים [...] שמשיות צהובות לבלבו במרפסות כחבצלות [...] חלפתי על פני בניינים שנצרבו והשחימו ברבות השנים, ושלאורך קירותיהם התנחשו צינורות ומרזבים, חוטי חשמל שחורים שעליהם התנפנפה כביסה צבעונית, בעיקר בגדים תחתונים, גופיות מחוררות, חזיות מלמלה ודגלי ישראל [...] " (בעז גאון, אליהו מחפש אהבה, 2017, זמורה ביתן)

בת ים, שנולדה בשנות ה-20 של המאה העשרים, שימשה לאורך השנים שדה פורה לניסויים חברתיים ואדריכליים בישראל, ומגוון טיפוסי הבנייה שנוצקו אליה הותכו יחדיו למעין קטלוג אדריכלי. תחת שרביט התכנון ובאמצעותו נרקמו הסיפורים הגדולים של הציונות, כמו גם הסיפורים האנושיים הקטנים של חיי היום־יום, ופרחה עיר שכל רצונה הוא להיות היא עצמה: להתגלש על גג הבטון של עמיגור, לרוץ באימה לאורכו של בית חולים הגפן, להתגלגל בדיונות, להתנשק בקולנוע העצמאות.

Bauhaus – By Magdalena Droste

shopadmin1 — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 15:16:54 +0000

By Magdalena Droste.The authoritative reference work, now in a compact format. In a fleeting fourteen-year period between teo world wars, germany's Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theatre and sculpture to ceramics. This bestselling reference work is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-archiv/museum fur gestaltung in berlin, the world's largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. As we approach the Bauhaus centennial, this is a defining account of its energy and rigour, not only as a trailblazing movement in modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations.Format: Hardcover, 552 pages, 20 cm x 14 cm (7.8" x 5.5"), English, color & black and white pictures.

By Katharina Benjamin, Micha Gross, Wolfgang Hocquel, Ulrich Knufinke, Peter Leonhardt, Alen Marie Linnemann, Loreen Schiede and Ines Sonder.The work of the jewish architect Wilhelm Haller (1884 – 1956) has largely fallen into oblivion in Germany.

His major work, generated from 1926 to 1928 and built in the style of Art Deco, was the cemetery hall on the jewish graveyard in Leipzig. It was destroyed during the fascistic "Pogromnacht" on the 9th of November, 1938. In Tel Aviv, which is considered to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, Haller contributed to the construction of the "White City" with a series of buildings of the modernity. Those and other buildings are to be introduced in the present publication.Format: Hardcover, 120 pages, 25.4 cm x 22 cm (10" x 8.6"), English and German, colorful and black and white pictures, plans.

By Yigal Gawze."Yigal Gawze's photographs capture the abstraction, the simplicity and the optimism of early modernism in Tel Aviv. He distils the essence of the Bauhaus to bring it alive in a modern city and concentrates on the subtle effects of natural light upon architecture, a technique that the masters of the modern movement themselves applauded." - Nonie Niesewand, design editor & author Format: Hard Cover, 120 pages, 28.6 cm x 24.5 cm (11.2" x 9.6"), English and German, colorful photographs.
