Odd Nerdrum - Making Painting Great Again is a richly illustrated book with texts by philosopher Carl Wegner Korsnes and the artist Odd Nerdrum himself. "Painting as a discipline is ruined; It's time to make painting great again." Thus sounds the masterful painter's philosophy, and these are his appeal points: First and foremost, the painter is a craftsman, in addition, the painter should seek what is always relevant. Nerdrum's idea of making painting great again means reintroducing a quality concept. Again, one should be allowed to say, "I've made something wonderful, and I'm proud of it." It is no coincidence that Aristotle is the thinker who has most influenced the kitsch philosophy. He claims that craft has its utility and value as a means of mediation. Mimesis, or representation, is of value, not only because one finds joy and insight in recognizing a motif, but because one can recreate action in a painting. All human feelings take form in action. Stories that utilize familiar scenes and archetypal situations are, according to Aristotle, of the greatest value, because they are expressions of the universal. Odd Nerdrum gives the discipline of painting back to the people. Art is for the sake of Art. Kitsch, however, is for humans. Removing the intrinsic values of art makes painting a tangible phenomenon again. The feeling of usefulness will return and thus the valuation. Painting is lifted to old heights. Painting is made great again. Carl Wegner Korsnes

Boken RÅPUNK - The Birth of Swedish Hardcore dokumenterar den svenska råpunkscenen mellan åren 1981 - 1989.Den andra svenska punkvågen inspirerades av band som DISCHARGE, CRASS och DEAD KENNEDYS och utlöste en ursinnig, unik musikalisk och visuell attack som fortfarande påverkar och influerar punk-fans världen över.<br/>Råpunk fångar scenens anda och energi genom att publicera unika foton på band som ANTICIMEX, ASOCIAL, AVSKUM, DISARM, HUVUDTVÄTT/HEADCLEANERS, MISSBRUKARNA, MOB 47, MODERAT LIKVIDATION, RAPED TEENAGERS, RÖVSVETT, SKITSLICKERS, SVART PARAD, SVART SNÖ, SWANKERS PMS, TOTALITÄR och många, många fler. Boken dokumenterar också de som gick på spelningar, organiserade demonstrationer och husockupationer, gav ut fanzines, skivor och kassetter - alla vilka representerade minst lika viktiga kreativa och ideologiska delar av scenen. Råpunk innehåller också ett stort antal fanzines, posters, skiv- och kassettomslag vilka fångar råpunkscenens råa, expressiva och viktiga Do It Yourself-design och filosofi.<br/>Boken är skriven av DAVID ANDERSSON, en medlem av scenen i egenskap av redaktör av fanzinet BUBBEL-BAD och sångare i IDENTITY. Förordet är skrivet av legendariske NAPALM DEATHsångaren LEE DORRIAN som turnerade i Sverige under aktuell tid och också var en av de få som bokade svenska råpunkband i Storbritannien.<br/>Råpunk - The Birth of Swedish Hardcore fyller en viktig lucka då detta är första gången densvenska råpunkscenen under 1980-talet dokumenteras visuellt i bokform.
