Regular price $97.99 Save $-97.99Art as a communicative practice
This publication presents and documents 16 years of artistic teaching and research at the Department of Art and Communicative Practice at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It illustrates the specific approach to artistic teaching in different media fields, building on the artistic practice of individual teachers.
Drawing on best-practice examples and a variety of innovative projects, it becomes clear which spaces for action and reflection each individual artistic approach opens up in interaction. These essays explore the specific potential that teaching “from art” opens up for educational processes, self-awareness, world experience, critical reflection and ability to act, and the production of knowledge.
- Unusual insights into the diversity and interaction of different forms of artistic practice
- Contemporary examples of the social relevance of artistic research
- Elaborately designed volume; appears together with the publication Geografien des Textilen. Lehren als künstlerische Praxis

Fabric of Life - Textile Arts in Bhutan
Regular price $57.99 Save $-57.99This extensive work dedicated to the unique textile art of Bhutan is an impressive illustration of how closely art, spirituality, and life are interwoven in the last of the Buddhist kingdoms in the Himalayas. It gives new insight into Bhutanese cosmology, worldview, culture, and society, which is associated with a variety of historical, philosophical, religious, social, and artistic perspectives.
The remote mountain location, low-key foreign policy, and basic principles of Buddhism has made it possible for Bhutan, the last of the Buddhist kingdoms in the Himalayas, to preserve a remarkable form of textile art that is interwoven with all aspects of life.
Karin Altmann shows us Bhutan textiles in their diversity: they are clothes and everyday objects, currency and commodity, mark important events as gifts during life, and are testament to the social status of a person. But they are also an integral aspect of religious festivals, dances, and rituals that provide insight into the mystical and religious beliefs of the Bhutanese people, and reflect the concept of gender in Bhutanese society. The book also tells the story of a country that is searching for a sensitive balance between tradition and progress in a globalized world.
