Viking Britain: An Exploration , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 798min

A new narrative history of the Viking Age, interwoven with exploration of the physical remains and landscapes that the Vikings fashioned and walked: their rune stones and ship burials, settlements and battlefields. To many, the word Viking brings to mind red scenes of rape and pillage, of marauders from beyond the sea rampaging around the British coastline in the last gloomy centuries before the Norman Conquest. And it is true that Britain in the Viking Age was a turbulent, violent place. The kings and warlords who have impressed their memories on the period revel in names that fire the blood and stir the imagination: Svein Forkbeard and Edmund Ironside, Ivar the Boneless and Alfred the Great, Erik Bloodaxe and Edgar the Pacifier, amongst many others. Evidence for their brutality, their dominance, their avarice and their pride is still unearthed from British soil with stunning regularity. This is not, however, the whole story. In Viking Britain, Thomas Williams has drawn on his experience as project curator of the major international exhibition Vikings: Life and Legend to show how the people we call Vikings came not just to raid and plunder but to settle, to colonise and to rule. The impact on these islands was profound and enduring, shaping British social, cultural and political development for hundreds of years. Indeed, in language, literature, place names and folklore, the presence of Scandinavian settlers can still be felt, and their memory - filtered and refashioned through the writings of people like J. R. R. Tolkien, William Morris and G. K. Chesterton - has transformed the Western imagination. This remarkable new audiobook draws upon new academic research and first-hand experience, drawing deeply from the relics and landscapes that the Vikings and their contemporaries fashioned and walked: their rune stones and ship burials, settlements and battlefields, poems and chronicles.

Junk Own

Großvaters Archiv als Identitatsgeber Sarah Entwistle (geb. 1979 in London, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) ist fasziniert von der Formbarkeit und Umdeutung von Materialien. Diese sind in der Praxis der Künstlerin sowohl architektonischen - sie bedient sich im Sinne der Arte Povera an gefundenen Metallobjekten von Schrottplatzen - als auch biografischen Ursprungs. So beschaftigt Entwistle sich seit Jahren intensiv mit der Aufarbeitung und Demontage des Archivs ihres verstorbenen Großvaters und Architektenkollegen Clive Entwistle (1916-1976), den sie nie kennengelernt hat. Das Archiv, bestehend aus nicht realisierten Entwürfen und personlichen Unterlagen, enthüllte Clive als einen komplexen Menschen mit vielen Gesichtern, dessen esoterische Ader seine professionelle Entwurfspraxis stets durchzog. Die Auseinandersetzung mit gefundenen Materialen ist für Entwistle ein Mittel, um ihre eigene Identitat als Architektin, Künstlerin und Frau zu evaluieren. Sie entwickelt aus ihnen heraus Objekte und skulpturale Stillleben, die Elemente wie großformatige, handgewebte Wandteppiche, gefundene und umgestaltete Metallabfalle, Keramikobjekte und Arbeiten auf Papier assemblieren. Die ausdrucksstarke, handgefertigte Einzigartigkeit der einzelnen Elemente steht im Gegensatz zu den reproduzierbaren und zweckmaßigen Prototypen des High Designs. Dieser Prozess der Verwandlung und Deutung ist Entwistles poetischer Versuch eines kreativen Umgangs mit der eigenen Herkunft und Biografie. Junk Own legt Entwistles sensible Praxis offen. Die Monografie zeigt Werke der letzten 5 Jahre und ist durchzogen von zahlreichen Archivstücken aus dem Erbe des Großvaters, begleitet von fiktionalen wie kultur- und kunsthistorischen Texten zur Arbeitsweise der Künstlerin. Grandfather's Archive as a Source of Identity Sarah Entwistle (b. London, 1979; lives and works in Berlin) is fascinated by the malleability of materials and their openness to reinterpretation. For her own practice, the artist combines architectural elements-in the tradition of Arte Povera, she repurposes found metal objects from junkyards-with objects that have a direct bearing on her biography. For several years, Entwistle has dedicated herself to reviewing and dismantling the archive of her late grandfather and fellow architect Clive Entwistle (1916-76), whom she never met. The archive, which consists of unrealized designs and personal papers, revealed Clive to be a mercurial and complex figure whose esoteric leanings were inseparable from his professional practice. Engaging with found materials lets Entwistle evaluate her own identity as an architect, artist, and woman. She adapts them to develop objects and sculptural still lifes, assemblaging elements such as large-format hand-woven tapestries, found and refashioned metal offcuts, ceramic objects, and works on paper. The expressive handmade singularity of each element runs counter to the reproducible and purposeful prototypes of high design. This process of transmutation and interpretation is Entwistle's poetic attempt to grapple in creative fashion with her own origins and personal history.Junk Own illuminates Entwistle's sensitive practice. The monograph features works from the past five years, interspersed with numerous archival pieces from her grandfather's estate and accompanied by fictional writings as well as discussions of the artist's creative approach through the lenses of cultural and art history.
