Glass Cultivator - Thomas Schönauer by Robert Comploj

Thomas Schönauer, Robert Comploj

Summary

Two men, craftsmen, rough workshops with loud, hot machines and equipment, cranes, furnaces, welding equipment, forges, blowpipes, compressors and much more.

In this environment, fine thoughts on filigree forms, the polishing of fractions of a millimetre, the balancing of light and material take place in an infinitely subtle design cosmos.

The book shows two artists, their materials and their working methods as they could hardly be more diff erent and shows the resulting synergy, the birth of a new joint artistic path.

Eating Chilli Crab in the...

Matthew Schneider-Mayerson

In this era of climate crisis, in which our very futures are at stake, sustainability is a global imperative. Yet we tend to associate sustainability, nature, and the environment with distant places, science, and policy. The truth is that everything is environmental, from transportation to taxes, work to love, cities to cuisine. 
 
 
This book is the first to examine contemporary Singapore from an ecocultural lens, looking at the ways that Singaporean life and culture is deeply entangled with the nonhuman lives that flourish all around us. The authors represent a new generation of cultural critics and environmental thinkers, who will inherit the future we are creating today. From chilli crab to Tiger Beer, Changi Airport to Pulau Semakau, O-levels to orang minyak films, these essays offer fresh perspectives on familiar subjects, prompting us to recognise the incredible urgency of climate change and the need to transform our ways of thinking, acting, learning, living, and governing so as to maintain a stable planet and a decent future.
