With this project, Warburg created a visual reference system that was far ahead of its time. In cooperation with the Warburg Institute, Roberto Ohrt and Axel Heil have now undertaken the task of finding all of the individual pictures from the atlas and displaying these reproductions of artworks from the Middle East, European antiquity, and the Renaissance in the same way that Warburg himself showed them, on panels hung with black fabric. This commentary volume and the exhibition in Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin succeed in restoring Warburg\u0026rsquo;s vanished legacy\u0026mdash;something that researchers have long considered impossible.

In 1960, she became the first woman to win the Rome Prize in Architecture from the American Academy. Although she had previously been involved in the planning of the modernist Märkisches Viertel in Berlin, she subsequently moved to Rome and focused henceforth on educating architects and preserving buildings. She began restoring old historic houses in Civita di Bagnoregio, an abandoned hilltop village north of Rome. In 1970, she founded the Washington University Rome Program, enabling young students to experience Rome. Partly unpublished photographs from Zarina's estate and the Civita Institute Foundation offer insight into Astra Zarina's captivating personality, which her former student Steven Holl also raves about in an interview. With a holistic approach that is highly relevant today, her main goal was to inspire young students with Italy's building culture and way of life: \"If you want to be an architect, first you have to learn how to cook!\"\n\nLaura Helena Wurth (*1989, Berlin) is an author and critic.

Chronos-Swimmer is a crypto-biography that delves deep into a psychic landscape where time and space are governed by the logic of traumatic memories.

Painter of the Quiet Sound","description":"Vilhelm Hammershøi is one of the most fascinating artists of the period around 1900. With a sparse visual language and a reduced color palette, he created interiors that, in their focus on the essential, possess an overwhelming poetic charm. People rarely appear in his paintings, and when they do, they are seen from behind or engrossed in everyday activities. For the first time, this text explores the role of sound in Hammershøi's visual worlds. The painter himself played the cello, and musical instruments are a recurring subject in his compositions. The subtitle \"Painter of Silent Sound\" only superficially describes a paradox. For as \"silent\" as the paintings may seem at first glance: it is a silence that resembles the concentrated calm immediately before the start of a concert. A silence that demands our attention and invites us to listen – thus revealing an entirely new side to Hammershøi's art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916) is considered the most important representative of Danish interior painting. At the time of his death, he was a widely celebrated painter – his admirers included Rainer Maria Rilke and Emil Nolde. Later, his work increasingly fell into oblivion outside his homeland until he was \"rediscovered\" throughout Europe about a hundred years later.
