As a novelist, essayist, and cultural historian, John Berger is a writer of dazzling eloquence and arresting insight whose work amounts to a subtle, powerful critique of the canons of our civilization. In About Looking he explores our role as observers to reveal new layers of meaning in what we see. How do the animals we look at in zoos remind us of a relationship between man and beast all but lost in the twentieth century? What is it about looking at war photographs that doubles their already potent violence? How do the nudes of Rodin betray the threats to his authority and potency posed by clay and flesh? And how does solitude inform the art of Giacometti? In asking these and other questions, Berger alters the vision of anyone who reads his work.

A 2018 januárjában megnyílt Közös ügyeink című kiállítás egy négyéves nemzetközi program (CAPP – Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme) eredményeit mutatta be a közönségnek a Ludwig Múzeumban.

Since its publication fifty years ago, this work has established itself as a classic. It casts the visual process in psychological terms and describes the creative way one's eye organizes visual material according to specific psychological premises. In 1974 this book was revised and expanded, and since then it has continued to burnish Rudolf Arnheim's reputation as a groundbreaking theoretician in the fields of art and psychology.

Az Országos Katolikus Gyűjteményi Központ szeretné segíteni azokat, akik érdeklődnek azon műtárgyak iránt, melyek legfőbb célja a liturgia szolgálata. A vallásos jellegű műtárgyakon belül ez egy sajátos csoportot alkot. Jelen kézikönyv összefogja a liturgikus művészet különböző területeit. Mivel azonban az épületek és a benne használatos tárgyak nem érthetők a Katolikus Egyház tanítása, lelkisége, szokásai és gyakorlatai nélkül, ezért szükség mutatkozott egy olyan szemléletű munkára, mely feltételezi ugyan a szakképzett művészettörténész munkáját, de e mellé feltétlenül szükségesek azok a teológiai ismeretek is, melyek a Katolikus Egyház latin rítusának a specialitásához tartoznak...

Ilya Kabakov (b.1933) is recognized as the most important Russian artist to have emerged in the late twentieth century, with installations that speak as much about conditions in post-Stalinist Russia as they do about the human condition universally. His work has been exhibited at such major international venues as The Museum of Modern Art in New York (1991), the Centre Pompidou in Paris (1995) and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (1995)...

The object is this thing that refuses to go away. Virtual reality, conceptual art and numerous philosophical and psychological traditions have sought to de-thingify the world, but the object, in its many forms, persists. This anthology surveys reappraisals of what constitutes the ‘objectness’ of production, with art as its focus. Among the topics it examines are the relation of the object to subjectivity; distinctions between objects and ‘things’; the significance of the object’s transition from inert mass to tool or artefact; and the meanings of the everyday in the found object, repetition in the replicated or multiple object, loss in the absent object, and abjection in the formless or degraded object. It also explores artistic positions that are anti-object; theories of the experimental, liminal or mental object; and the role of objects in performance. The object becomes a prism through which to re-read contemporary art and better understand its recent past.

Oscar Benifier, a filozófia doktora Nanterre-ben kezdte meg kísérletezését az iskolai programba illesztett filozófiaórákkal, majd ezek tapasztalatait leszűrve írta meg  gyerekeknek szánt könyvsorozatát Ki vagyok én?, Az élet vajon mi? és A jó és a rossz, az vajon mi? címmel.

"Public Art Now showcases large- and small-scale public art installations that appear everywhere, from sidewalks and bus stops to parks and exhibition centers. The projects within are often made to be enjoyed through more than just looking, with audiences being encouraged to touch, photograph, climb, read, listen, sit, swing, and run through the artworks. Pieces such as a walk-in origami-style hut with a kaleidoscopic interior, an iridescent bike path, an entire two-story home with oversized white balloons spilling out of every window, and a colorful library designed to be pulled apart and re-assembled question the relationship between artist and audience, and create an intimate relationship between those who create and those who experience their exciting creations"
