‎Anton Somers 22 Instruments 2012-2021 / Anton Somers vioolbouwer te Antwerpen 22 instruments of the Violin family.‎

‎, Darling publ., 2022 Hardcover, 35x33cm, 107 pages ( 200gr silky paper) with full color illustrations. NL/ENG text ISBN 9783945525814.‎

‎The sensation of turning the beautiful printed pages, sensing the smooth resistance of the 200gr silky paper as well as experiencing the today rarely seen art of bookbinding manufacture in your hands, should be understood by those genuinely interested in exquisite built violins and cellos from spruce and maple, made by talented luthier hands and played with sensitive and reactive pernambuco bows. And the ears to be touched by vibrations of beauty, created with competence and some luck of a matching player, instrument and bow. For that experience even ordering this really nice book will even not be adequate. Best suggestion is to try to get an instrument by Anton in your hands and play it! --- Anton Somers. Born in 1986, Borgerhout, Belgium. Ever since childhood he was very passionate about woodworking. At the age of 15 he made his first instrument, the next year he started studying at the violin making school of Antwerp. Directly after his studies in 2006 he worked in a local workshop in Brussels till 2011. Anton then decided to take the leap and started his own business opening his workshop in his hometown Melsele where he grew up and is strongly connected to the cultural life. From 2013 till 2015 Anton Somers and his former employer tried to work together again, but now as chef d'atelier, in the workshop premises of Anton in Melsele. where he worked meanwhile on his own account. One can see finally an output of high quality instruments under his own name, with his own models and with his own varnish, which lead to a boost in his career. In September 2016 Anton also took on the challenge to work as a teacher in the violin making school of Antwerp ILSA. Sharing his knowledge for 5 years, he stopped teaching at the end of 2021 to be able to fully focus on his career. In December 2016 Anton received a Coup du Coeur in the violin making competition ?Violoncellenseine? in Paris which was dedicated to the cello. The cello was specially awarded for his tonality qualities by renowned cellist Damian Martinez Marco. In 2020 Anton was selected by Andy Lim personally to serve as one of the five supervisors for the 3-year string sextet project, where 24 last year student/ recently graduated violinmakers will make 2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos. Anton has the honour and the challenge to supervice the making of 2 cellos. In 2021 Anton made a string quartet containing completely CITES certified whalebone purflings. This quartet is shown in the book published by Darling Publications "Anton Somers Vioolbouwer te Antwerpen ~ 22 instruments of the violin family 2012-2021 which was launched in Brussels, June 2021. Anton?s instruments are appreciated by the most demanding musicians as also by investors who keep them in their private collection. ‎

‎Nicolas Gilles est né en 1977 à Montpellier où il installe son premier atelier après un parcours de formation découlant d?une sensibilité musicale dès son jeune âge. En 2016, Nicolas établit son atelier de lutherie dans l?ancienne manufacture Royale de Villeneuvette. Ce village du XVIIeme siècle classé monument historique est un écrin précieux où l?histoire et la nature sont préservées s?accordant avec beauté à la fabrication des instruments du quatuor. Il s?inspire principalement des grands luthiers Italiens du 18ème siècle (Crémone, Venise, Breccia) qui ont développé le violon dans sa perfection sonore et esthétique. Tout au long de la fabrication, son intuition, son expérience et l?échange avec les musiciens le guident dans ses choix sonores et esthétiques. Ses instruments sont appréciés en Europe et aux Etats Unis par des solistes et professeurs de Conservatoires.‎

‎Karl Fritsch : Die 7 Todsünden‎

‎, Darling Publications, 2008 16 pages, hard cover, 8 colour photographs, text in German, 310 x 245 x 10 mm, NEW, available in dark grey / purple. ISBN 9783939130888.‎

‎Karl Fritsch or the ring as a sophisticated weapon. What I find really fascinating, and one of the reasons why it's so interesting to make jewelery, is the moment of recognition when something that comes across as cute and pretty, has on Second glimpse into almost obscene grotesque. I would say this quality probably works best in jewelery, where politeness and cold-blooded anger can clash mercilessly into one another . We present Karl's latest works designed specially for Hannah Gallery: gold & silver seal rings as apainter palette, colors of the gems ... diamonds, zirconias, carnelians, garnets ... materials must be sick to be shaped in these variations of barocky and geometric shapes ... engraved messages in the shore.‎

‎Arne Rautenberg : Vermeeren‎

‎, Darling Publications, 2007 Hardcover, 96 seiten, German, 220 x 135 x 18 mm, Neu, illustr. in farbe, . ISBN 9783939130284.‎

‎It's not every day that you hold such a beautiful and graphically appealing volume of poetry in your hands. See and read, that's what Arne Rautenberg says on almost 100 pages of collages and poems, with lyrical harlequinades and well thought-out pictorial poetry. The title says it all: Whoever hears it, hears the word "increase". Anyone who reads it reads a linguistically creative ?vermeeren?. Anyone who sees art as the focus thinks of Vermeer.‎

‎Lukas Roth : " Episode One"‎

‎, Darling Publications, 2007 Hardcover, 56 pages, ENG / GER , 220 x 170 x 15 mm, NEW, ill. in colour / b/w. ISBN 9783939130475.‎

‎When confronted with Lukas RothŽs photography one is immediately struck by its variety of subject, because the work doesnŽt follow a single unified theme. The photos present urban scenes, isolated architecture and housing blocks as well as landscapes. People move about within these spaces but they could just as well be empty. It isnŽt the objective documentation of an object or a situation that is the focus of interest here in the sense of an ?industrial archaeology?, but rather the opposite.‎

‎Susanne Rottenbacher, Volume I - Beginning to see the light, Band 1 einer zweiteiligen Monografie ‎

‎, Darling Publications, 2009 Hardcover, 48 pages, ENG / GER, 330 x 330 x 15 mm, NEW / NEU, illustr. in colour / b/w.Large Format ISBN 9783941765061.‎

‎Susanne Rottenbacher studied stage design at Barnard College[1] from 1988 to 1991 in New York (B.A.) and then (1991-1992) completed a degree in light (MSc) at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning in London. She worked as a set designer at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as a light designer for the "LichtKunstLicht" planning office. In this context, among other things, she designed the lighting design for the Federal Chancellery and the new government buildings. She has been working as a freelance light artist since 2007. Susanne Rottenbacher creates expansive installations from sculptural elements that can best be described as light-colored bodies. Her sculptures are characterised by great lightness and transparency and change in dialogue with the surrounding space and times of day. They penetrate the surrounding space like three-dimensional drawings and thus reinterpret it. The organically curved forms seem to be in dynamic motion and at the same time frozen in time and space‎

‎What do West Berlin's world-famous ICC, one of the most important pieces of 1970s pop and hi-tech architecture, and the nondescript garages, lounges, or bowling alley of the erstwhile motor pool of the GDR Council of Ministers in Lichtenberg, East Berlin, have in common? The first was created in order to show off West Berlin's claim to global city status. To this day it is regarded as one of the most successful conference centers, yet the ICC's future is still under dispute. The second was once used by the SED leadership to exhibit their claims to power and has been used, since the regime's collapse in 1989, by automobilefocused firms and now also as a gallery, exhibition and studio center. Berlin-based photographer Claus Rottenbacher and architecture historian Nikolaus Bernau investigate the astonishingly well-preserved state of these chronological documents, their ostentatious aesthetic orientation to the "zeitgeist" which was, after all, put to the service of completely different social and cultural systems. They discover a commonality that is located beyond the formal differences.‎

‎Gardens of La Gara, An 18th century estate in Geneva with gardens designed by Erik Dhont and a labyrinth by Markus Raetz‎

‎, Scheidegger & Spiess, 2018 Hardcover, 380 pages, Illustrated. text in English, **Fine condition. ISBN 9783858818027.‎

‎This English-language book portrays the historic La Gara estate in Jussy near Geneva and its 18th century gardens. The buildings have been restored by Swiss architect Verena Best-Mast and supplemented with harmonious interior design interventions. The gardens were subtly reinterpreted in a contemporary way by the renowned Belgian landscape architect Erik Dhont and supplemented with a palindrome-like hedge labyrinth designed by the Swiss artist Markus Raetz. Anette Freytag has followed La Gara's transformation at close quarters over the past few years. Her own contributions and those of her co-authors - Verena Best-Mast, Erik A. de Jong, Erik Dhont, Éric Dumont, Leïla el-Wakil, Iris Lauterbach, Gaël Maridat, Rainer Michael Mason, Markus Raetz, Luc-Éric Revilliod and Natalie Rilliet - shed light on the history of the estate, the restoration of the buildings and gardens, including the historic irrigation system and carp ponds, as well as the contemporary landscape interventions. The book also focuses on Geneva's garden culture and the characteristics of the Jussy landscape with its great biodiversity. The book is also dedicated to the phenomenon of the ?Ferme ornée?, a villa modeled on ancient models with agricultural and ornamental functions. An important part of this book are the new photographs by Zurich photographer Georg Aerni from all four seasons. Winner of the European Garden Book Award. ‎

‎Angela Grauerholz : The 2015 winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award‎

‎, Steidl Publishers 2016, 2016 Hardcover, 234 pages, English, 310 x 255 mm, book in new state, . ISBN 9783958291225.‎

‎Over the course of her career, Angela Grauerholz has created a subjective vision of our world, full of intimate moments that reveal the passage of time. Her spaces are filled with people, glimpses of public and private interiors, and ethereal rural and urban landscapes. The out-of-focus quality of her photographs transforms them into a stream of consciousness, generating a sense of collective memory. She considers this approach ?a representation of our experience: a continuous prodding into something that escapes us continuously.? Turning away from the single image shown on the wall, her photographs are displayed inside cabinets, in portfolios or on sliding panels. This method creates new viewing possibilities, opens up narrative potential, and pushes the concept of the archive to reveal its potentially endless thematic categories and points of entry. Grauerholz?s attention to how the medium is displayed and experienced makes the viewer an active participant in her photographic universe.‎
