The series of photographs illustrates the ability of speed to compress time and space. The body moves at the same speed as the mode of transportation, while one’s thoughts are already somewhere else. The photos are about how quickly you can exist, at least mentally, somewhere else. They portray a feeling of simultaneousness, that everything is happening now. An exciting cutting edge book.

Despite other interpretations, researcher Bolvig recounts the history of the gorgeous Roskilde church altar and the purchase of same in the 1550’s by Birgitte Gøye and Herluf Trolle for their beloved castle Hillerødsholm at Antwerp’s art market. Once thought to be unique to Denmark, the beautiful, detailed paintings are the result of Dutch industrialized art production. In fact, people would come from all over Europe to purchase and partake in this art production, a new approach to art at the time. The altars were made to be sold and not ordered beforehand. The paintings themselves depict 33 scenes from the life of Christ and present a visual narrative from the New Testament. Gorgeous photographs capture this “ œillustrated Bible“ from the 1500s, while Bolvig’s research is compelling in its reinterpretation of cultural history, art, and art production.

Sterling Silver jewelry and tableware that was sold at the Jensen store in New York City included designs by American craftsmen, especially William De Matteo and Alphonse La Paglia, in the late 1940s. This is the story of these two silversmiths' work and its impact on fancy goods of the mid-20th century period. Silver tea sets, candelabra, centerpieces, bowls, serving spoons, and women’s jewelry sets were made in original designs that incorporated Danish styles for which the store was famous. Today, these are vintage items that are valuable and highly popular among collectors of fine traditional style decorative arts. Many identifying marks, catalog pages, and original advertisements are presented and discussed. Through newly found documentation, original working drawings, and careful analysis, these vintage silver items finally can be identified and appreciated for their specialty status among the finest luxury goods worldwide.

When Axel Svensson moved from his tenement home in Bjuv, Sweden, at the age of eight to ease his family’s financial burden, he began an odyssey that would extend over a quarter-century and thousands of miles. It took him four years working as an indentured servant until he was finally able to make it to America. He traveled the Midwest until he finally married and settled in Ames, Iowa, where he assumed the managership of the local J.C. Penney store. In Ames, he became a community leader and retired from Penney’s at age 50 to devote his time to managing his farm and traveling with his wife until her death.

Per Nilsson was born in Gävle in 1963. During his childhood he moved often and lived from Kiruna in the north to Kristianstad in the south. In 2001 he received his PhD in Philosophy at UmeÃ¥ University with the thesis “ œNature Science and Reason: Dialectic of Enlightenment, and the other modern.“ Since 2001 he has worked as a philosopher at the Academy of Fine Arts in UmeÃ¥. In his new book, The Amphibian Stand: A Philosophical Essay Concerning Research Processes in Fine Art . Nilsson develops a philosophy of art and relates it to the debate on art and research. He argues that art's critical potential and its dialectical deconstructive approach to including language, norms and philosophy render it suitable as a research discipline. The core of the book is the discourse theory developed by Per's metaphors Ampibian and Littoral landscape of culture, metaphors that point out that our cultures are the illusory positions of dogmatism and relativism. It is in the littoral landscape that the amphibians presented live their lives, well-adapted to their environment.
