'That this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal.' - El País In-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe's leading curators. Throughout history, human beings have excelled at creating art of the highest quality. Aristotle wrote that Homer "surpassed all others" and Pliny the Elder referred to "masterpieces that we never tire of admiring". Velázquez distinguished between portraits "made with art" and those that were not. What did they all mean exactly? What do we mean when we say that a work of art is good, of high quality? This book is an attempt to explain this central question, which remains surprisingly unexplored. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp argues that "a deep knowledge of the history of art provides us with the tools to approach this issue objectively". He then invites the reader to share with him a Socratic voyage of discovery, gradually unveiling arguments that can assist us in understanding this elusive and crucial concept.

- Publication to coincide with the exhibition of the same name at Huis Marseille in Amsterdam from 28 October 2023 to 25 February 2024Eddo Hartmann's new photographic project focuses on one of the first 'sacrifice zones' created by governments in the late modern era for the secret production, testing and maintenance of nuclear and chemical weapons of all kinds. The residents of these locations unknowingly became guinea pigs in the experiment. Today, these areas have become examples of ecocide: the irreversible destruction of nature on a large scale. A remote area of Kazakhstan was once home to the Soviet Union's main nuclear testing facilities. It became known as 'The Polygon'. On this site more than 450 nuclear tests took place from 1949 to 1989, without regard for their effect on the local population and the environment. The full impact of the radiation only became apparent after the test site closed in the early 1990s. Today, this corner of the Kazakh steppe is a place of desolation and decay. The landscape is dotted with strange lakes formed by nuclear explosions and the remains of giant concrete structures. It seems uninhabitable, and yet people live there, demonstrating incredible resilience. Eddo Hartmann (b. 1973) studied photographic design at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague. He mainly focuses on long-running documentary projects and is the author of Setting the Stage - North Korea, published by Hannibal Books. He currently also works as a lecturer in photography and visual grammar at KABK in The Hague.
