Christo and Jeanne-Claude, The Gates

Central Park, New York City, 1979-2005

By: Christo,Jeanne-Claude,Wolfgang Volz,Jonathan Henery

Christo und Jeanne-Claude verwirklichen im Februar 2005 im New Yorker Central Park ihr seit langem geplantes Projekt The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979-2005: 7500 leuchtend safranfarbene Tore auf 37 km Parkwegen, jedes rund 5 Meter hoch und je nach Wegbreite zwischen 1,67 und 5,50 m breit. Freihängende Gewebebahnen in jedem Tor, die bis auf 2,13 m herunterreichen, wehen bei leichtem Wind bis an das nächstliegende Tor. Den Besuchern im Central Park eröffnet sich beim Durchschreiten ein goldenes, warme Schatten werfendes Dach. Von den rund um den Central Park liegenden Gebäuden betrachtet erscheinen The Gates als ein goldener Fluss, der durch die Bäume hindurchleuchtet und die Form der Parkwege nachzeichnet. Die Collector's Edition ist weltweit auf 5.000 Exemplare limitiert. Jedes einzelne Exemplar ist numeriert und von Christo und Jeanne-Claude wie auch vom Fotografen Wolfgang Volz signiert. Dem Buch ist ein 24 x 24 cm grosses Stück des im Kunstwerk verwendeten Originalstoffes beigelegt.

In/out Studio

By: Jeanne-Claude

Christo (*?1935) und Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) haben einige der atemberaubendsten Kunstwerke des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts geschaffen. Mit ihren Projekten haben sie die traditionelle Vorstellung von Malerei, Skulptur und Architektur radikal in Frage gestellt.0Der aufwendig gestaltete Bildband versammelt zahlreiche, teils private Fotografien und Studioaufnahmen aus den Jahren 1949 bis 2013 und erlaubt so einen intimen Blick hinter die Kulissen der monumentalen Installationen, mit denen Christo und Jeanne-Claude die Öffentlichkeit immer wieder in Staunen versetzt haben. Aufnahmen, die die Künstler während der Arbeit porträtieren, werden um Fotografien aller wichtigen Projekte – 'Wrapped Coast' (1968–69), 'Valley Curtain' (1970–72), 'Running Fence '(1972–76), 'Surrounded Islands' (1980–83), 'The Pont Neuf Wrapped' (1975–85), 'The Umbrellas' (1984–91), 'Wrapped Reichstag' (1971–95) und 'The Gates' (1979–2005) – sowie Abbildungen von Zeichnungen, Collagen und Objekten ergänzt.

To Kill a Kingdom

By: Alexandra Christo

AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER This action-packed YA debut pits a deadly siren princess and a siren-hunting human prince against each other as they fight to protect their kingdoms. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most--a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen and or remain a human forever. The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby--it’s his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good--But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy?

Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1971-95

By: Christo,Wolfgang Volz,Jeanne-Claude,David Bourdon

Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Umbrella Project in 1991 was the most ambitious and expensive project they have ever undertaken. 1340 blue six metre umbrellas were assembled and erected throughout a narrow valley in rural Japan. 7000 yellow umbrellas were similarly prepared across the Pacific in a dry expanse of Californian land. After months of gruelling process, the two countries united as the forest of umbrellas were opened simultaneously on both continents.

Into the Crooked Place Sneak Peek

By: Alexandra Christo

Download a FREE sneak peek of INTO THE CROOKED PLACE by Alexandra Christo. The streets of Creije are for the deadly and the dreamers, and four crooks in particular know just how much magic they need up their sleeve to survive. Tavia, a busker ready to pack up her dark-magic wares and turn her back on Creije for good. She’ll do anything to put her crimes behind her. Wesley, the closest thing Creije has to a gangster. After growing up on streets hungry enough to swallow the weak whole, he won’t stop until he has brought the entire realm to kneel before him. Karam, a warrior who spends her days watching over the city’s worst criminals and her nights in the fighting rings, making a deadly name for herself. And Saxony, a resistance fighter hiding from the very people who destroyed her family, and willing to do whatever it takes to get her revenge. Everything in their lives is going to plan, until Tavia makes a crucial mistake: she delivers a vial of dark magic—a weapon she didn’t know she had—to someone she cares about, sparking the greatest conflict in decades. Now these four magical outsiders must come together to save their home and the world, before it’s too late. But with enemies at all sides, they can trust nobody. Least of all each other.

Mandela - My Prisoner, My Friend

Mandela - My Prisoner, My Friend

By: Christo Brand

Christo Brand was a South African farm boy, born into the Afrikaans culture which had created apartheid, a racial system designed to persecute black people while claiming superiority for white people. Nelson Mandela, the black son of a tribal chief, also raised in a rural village, trained as a lawyer to take up the fight against apartheid on behalf of a whole nation. Their opposing worlds collided when Christo, a raw recruit from the country's prison service, was sent to Robben Island to guard the notoriously dangerous terrorists; Mandela was their undisputed leader.The two of them, a boy of 19 and a long-suffering freedom fighter then aged 60, should have become bitter enemies. Instead they formed an extraordinary friendship through small human kindnesses; Christo, a gentle young man who valued ordinary decency and courtesy, struck a chord with the wise and resilient freedom fighter - a man who was prepared to die if necessary to liberate his people.As an African tribesman family was a priority for Mandela and he knew that his life imprisonment meant that he might never be able to live with them again. When his mother died he was refused permission to go to her funeral - as the eldest son, Mandela held a great responsibility towards her, and he wept with shame and despair. Christo was witness to that despair many times during his years as Mandela's personal prison warder. He knew the heartbreak he suffered at never being able to see his children. So, when Winnie secretly brought their tiny granddaughter to Robben Island it was Christo who risked his own freedom to put the baby in Mandela's arms for a few moments.Their friendship was sealed by many such shared moments; sometimes merely a gesture or a smile, at other times an act of generosity which could have cost Christo his job. This bond of trust endured between the two men long after Mandela was freed. As President of South Africa he invited Christo into his home, advised his son Riaan on his career and gave Christo a job in the Constitutional Assembly in Parliament, drawing up the country's new laws. Shortly before passing away he called for Christo again for the final time - to say goodbye. In this book Christo tells, for the first time, the incredible and moving story of their unlikely friendship.

Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Dyslexia at School

By: Catherine Christo,John M. Davis,Stephen E. Brock

As many as one in four children experiences problems with reading. Dyslexia, the most common learning disability leads to well-documented negative effects on school and, ultimately, adult success. Therefore, it is critical that school professionals provide early and effective assessment and intervention. Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Dyslexia at School equips practitioners with in-depth understanding of the disorder and a wealth of practical information for meeting student needs. This volume: Reviews up-to-date findings on dyslexia – causes, prevalence, and related conditions. Provides research-based tools for identifying and addressing dyslexia. Offers a detailed framework for case finding and screening, diagnostic and psychoeducational assessment as well as age- and grade-appropriate intervention. Explains the roles and responsibilities of school psychologists when it comes to identifying students with dyslexia. Focuses solely on dyslexia, unlike most other books on learning disabilities. As the duties of school psychologists and related education professionals become more complex, recognizing and providing services for students with learning disorders has become progressively more demanding. Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Dyslexia at School offers practitioners an accessible and easy-to-read reference that they will use for years to come.
