The legendary Brooklyn Rail has been a platform for artists,
academics, and writers in New York and abroad for almost twenty
years. No other publication devotes as much space to the artist’s
voice, allowing ideas to unfold through open discussion, with all
their idiosyncrasies. The journal’s continued appeal is due in
large part to its wonderfully diverse contributors, many of whom
bring contrasting and often unexpected opinions to conversations
about art and aesthetics. Since its inception, co-founder and
artistic director Phong Bui and his team have interviewed over one
hundred artists for the Brooklyn Rail . Here, we bring together a
selection of sixty of the most influential and seminal interviews
with artists ranging from Richard Serra and Brice Marden, to Alex
Da Corte and House of Ladosha, for the first time. While each is
important in its own right, offering a perspective on the life and
work of a specific artist, together they tell the story of a
journal that has grown during one of the more diverse and
surprising periods in visual art. There is no unified style or
perspective, Brooklyn Rail’s strength lies in its ability to
include and champion difference. Selected and coedited by Jarrett
Earnest, a frequent Rail contributor, with Lucas Zwirner, the book
includes a new introduction to the project by Phong Bui as well as
many of the hand-drawn portraits he has made of those he has
interviewed over the years. This combination of verbal and visual
profiles offers a rare and personal insight into contemporary
visual culture.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
