Francesc Jarque acostumbra a un trato cotidiano con los elementos de la naturaleza, y los convierte en manifiestos. Sus fotografías aspiran a devenir una huella, una sucesión de iconos de gran valor metafórico. El objetivo: que la piedra sea piedra, que hable por sí misma; que cada árbol, cada hoja, cada senda, cada perfil de la naturaleza no nos llame a falsos engaños y se manifieste como es: una huella cada vez más debilitada frente a la mano del hombre. El catálogo recoge todas las obras de esta exposición, que se presentó en el Jardín Botánico, con el objetivo de convertirse en una escenografía total, un submundo efímero, envolvente, donde cada espectador entraba dentro de un cosmos naturalista. Jarque propone con este proyecto un enorme mosaico de sensaciones, e intenta que cada tesela provoque en nosotros un laspus reflexivo sobre el enorme déficit moral con el que abordamos nuestro paisaje más inmediato.

"Acaso una de las reflexiones mas profundas y sentidas sobre la desolación que está sufriendo Barcelona es la debida a Juan José Lahuerta, en un librito que es todo él una pequeña joya que resume en unas pocas páginas hermosamente editadas el error y el horror de lo que el mismo título del libro es síntesis. Refiriéndose a la devastación de la ciudad y los simulacros de memoria con que se pretende disimularla, escribe Lahuerta: '¿Qué puede haber más cruel, más feroz, que aspirar toda la carne de un barrio conservando sus huesos o caparazones, y más desvergonzado que usarlos como signos de supuesto respeto, de recuerdo o de memoria? Memoria: ¿de qué o de quien'" (Manuel Delgado, "La ciudad mentirosa").

Renowned as one of the most important museums in the world, the Prado houses sculptures, drawings, coins, and other works of artbut it is its incomparable collection of paintings for which it is famed worldwide. Included in its holdings of more than 8,600 paintings are works by members of the Italian, Flemish, Spanish, French, Dutch, and German schools. Albrecht Dürer, Anton van Dyck, Correggio, El Greco, Goya, Hieronymous Bosch, José Ribera, Lucas Cranach, Nicolas Poussin, Pieter Brueghel, Rafael, Rembrandt, Rogier van der Veyden, Rubens, Sandro Botticelli, Tiepolo, Tintoretto, Tiziano, Velázquez,and nearly every other master painter from the 12th to the 20th century is represented in the Prados magnificient collection. The history of the museum began during the reign of Charles III, but it did not really take form as an institution until the reign of Fernando VII, under whom the Royal Museum of Painting and Sculpture was founded in 1819. With the disappearance of the Spanish monarchy, the museum became national property and was renamed the Prado Museum. Only a tenth of the Prados immense collection of works are normally on show. Architect Rafael Moneo (Pritzker Prize in 1996) has designed an extension to join the existing neo-classical building with two nearby historical buildings, the cloister of the San Jerónimo church and a 17th-century palace, by buried passageways. Its opening towards the end of 2007 was undoubtedly a landmark in the history of this renowned picture gallery.
The Dream Sea Photographs by Galen Garwood are a series of twenty photographs that reveal the power and mythic nature of the sea, out of which the fires of our supra-consciousness rise in the winds of our dreaming, a symbolic transformation from the self to the universe of unknowns. As poet William O'Daly writes: "Galen Garwood's works are meditations and explorations that attain harmonic balance and truth in motion, infused with an astonishing awareness of color and the perpetual energy generated by dark and light. Life within these evocative works emanates from a fleeting, ceaseless center, and their vulnerability and compassion, their fearlessness and wisdom, reside within us."
ROCKIN' SPAIN es un viaje al corazón del rock n ´roll. Sus pioneros, los grandes protagonistas, los discos de leyenda, salas de concierto de culto, lugares míticos, etc… El libro comienza en los años 50 y llega hasta nuestros días, deteniéndose en un portfolio especial con fotografías inéditas de la escena española. Cuenta con numerosos documentos de archivo, así como con los textos de diversas personalidades y periodistas especializados.
Vincent the Artist is a beautiful children's picture book with lovable characters that jump off the page and tug at your heart. Vincent Van Raatt lives with his family in an upscale underground part of the world where his father is a professor at Harvard Ground School. The professor believes that Vincent should follow in his footsteps and become a teacher but Vincent has bigger dreams. To be an artist! Against his family's wishes and his father's future plans for him, Vincent leaves home to follow his dreams, leading him on a journey that teaches Vincent what the world has to offer in one of the most imaginative stories ever told. Using the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh as inspiration, the story brings to light what it means to be a true artist. Vincent the Artist is an endearing coming-of-age story for anyone who has ever had a dream!
