Biennials, Triennials, and Documenta

The Exhibitions that Created Contemporary Art

By: Anthony Gardner,Charles Green

This innovative new history examines in-depth how the growing popularity of large-scale international survey exhibitions, or 'biennials', has influenced global contemporary art since the 1950s. Provides a comprehensive global history of biennialization from the rise of the European star-curator in the 1970s to the emergence of mega-exhibitions in Asia in the 1990s Introduces a global array of case studies to illustrate the trajectory of biennials and their growing influence on artistic expression, from the Biennale de la Méditerranée in Alexandria, Egypt in 1955, the second Havana Biennial of 1986, New York’s Whitney Biennial in 1993, and the 2002 Documenta11 in Kassel, to the Gwangju Biennale of 2014 Explores the evolving curatorial approaches to biennials, including analysis of the roles of sponsors, philanthropists and biennial directors and their re-shaping of the contemporary art scene Uses the history of biennials as a means of illustrating and inciting further discussions of globalization in contemporary art

How to Cook Eggs and Omelets in 300 Different Ways

By: Charles Herman Senn

This vintage book contains a guide to cooking eggs in over three hundred different ways. From devilled and fried to Eggs a 'Africaine and beyond, this expansive book of recipes is highly recommended for egg-lovers and those looking for some inspiration on the kitchen. Charles Herman Senn (1862 – 1934) was a German writer of cook books. He wrote profusely on the subject, producing cook books for all manner of people and situations, but was particularly well-known for his vegetarian and confectionery recipes. Other notable works by this author include: “Breakfast and Supper Dishes” (1898), “A book of Salads: The Art of Salad Dressing” (1922), and “British Red Cross Society Cookery Manual” (1915). Contents include: “Almond Eggs (moulded)”, “Anchovy Eggs (cold)”, “Anchovy Eggs (another way)”, “Aspic or Savoury Jelly”, “Baked Eggs a la Princesse”, “Bechamel Sauce”, “Brown Sauce”, “Buttered Eggs”, “Buttered Eggs with Anchovies”, “Buttered Eggs with Truffles”, “Caviare Eggs”, “Chaud-Froid of Eggs (cold)”, “Cheese Eggs”, “Chestnut Eggs”, etc. The Vintage Cookery Books series hopes to bring old wisdom and classic techniques back to life, as we have so much to learn from 'the old ways' of cooking. Not only can these books provide a fascinating window into past societies, cultures and every-day life, but they also let us actively delve into our own history – with a taste of what, how and when, people ate, drank, and socialised.
