Other title information: 2 dekady oneho umenia v Nitre

Annotation: In Slovakia, especially outside the capital, unconventional art has never been given the space it deserves. It was and is no different in Nitra, where – although it is home to two universities – progressive, experimental and alternative artistic initiatives still do not bloom like roses... They find themselves in an alienated position, often on the fringes of interest, somehow “they cannot come up with a name” – in which case they are called “that” in the local dialect. Perhaps that is why we have chosen the adjective of not another, but “that” art in the title of this publication, which in many ways deviates from the norm, is significantly different, provocative, and at the very least thought-provoking. The monographic publication Hermovo Ucho & PostmutArt – 2 two decades of that art in Nitra aims to map retrospectively, in a chronological manner, the entire two decades of the existence of the international cycles, or rather festivals HERMOVO UCHO V NITRE and POSTMUTART, focused from the end of the 20th century to the present precisely on these artistic initiatives, often moving in a taxonomically indefinable interspace – on the border of intermedial overlaps and innovative fusions of new music, visual art, video art, performance, sound art, happening –, testing their limits and crossing the boundaries of discursive and non-discursive symbolism in the period of late postmodernism.

Other title information: Meditations on Myth and Metaphor

Annotation: Jamake Highwater,the best-selling author of Myth and Sexuality and the Primal Mind, continues his voyage into the realms of myth, art and contemporary culture exploring the way society views its art and artists and the way our art and artists gaze back at us. Organized around the twenty-two cards of the Tarot Major Arcana, this book presents a dazzling range of controversial subjects, including the puritan division of art into hight and low and the direct influence of "popular" forms in contemporary artists, the image of the homosexual as outlow, iconography as destiny, imagination as political powe, the reinvetion of the past and thriumph of the dream life.
