Beschreibung

Cold War Bunkers unveils the hidden world of subterranean facilities built by governments as a last-ditch response to potential nuclear fallout. These structures embody the architectural, historical, and military significance of an era defined by the pervasive fear of nuclear annihilation. Did you know that these bunkers weren't just about physical protection; they also represented a massive investment of resources and psychological energy aimed at preparing for a potential doomsday scenario? The book explores these bunkers as tangible expressions of societal anxieties during the Cold War.

 
This exploration begins by setting the historical context, detailing the arms race and the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. The narrative then transitions into an examination of the architectural designs, analyzing layout, materials, and life-support systems. Particular focus is given to specific examples worldwide, revealing their intended purpose and level of preparedness.

 
The book culminates by discussing the legacy of these bunkers, their current status, and insights into our ongoing relationship with nuclear threats.

    Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of World War I, avant-garde artists and writers sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. Following the evolution of these revolutionary groups, How to Be Avant-Garde charts its pioneers and radical ideas. 
     
     
     
    Avant-gardists challenged the confines of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas itself. Art historian Morgan Falconer starts with the Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto seeded avant-gardes across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought to replace art with political cabaret, and the Surrealists tried to exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious. He guides us through the Russian Constructivists with their adventures in advertising and utopianism and De Stijl with the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian. The Bauhaus broke more boundaries, transmuting art into architecture and design. Finally, the Situationists swapped art for politics, with their ideas inspiring the 1968 Paris student protests. 
     
     
     
    How to Be Avant-Garde is a journey through the interlocking networks of these creative lives with their visions of a better world, their sometimes sympathetic but often strange conversations, and their objects and writings that defied categorization.

    This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over. 
    I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information. 
    When I look at my own love affair with the art of our time, I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me—setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking—that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied. 
    I have come to the conclusion that the key to unlocking the magic of modern and contemporary art is in the ability to immerse oneself in the art and truly "experience" it. So, the obvious and most vital question becomes, "How does one learn to experience modern and contemporary art?" That is the work of this book.
