Made in Fryslân
€ 17,90In Made in Fryslân vertelt Bert Looper het boeiende verhaal van design in Fryslân in de afgelopen honderd jaar. Het is een verhaal van voortdurende innovatie in traditie. De klassieke rotanstoel uit Noordwolde veranderde in handen van Gerard van den Berg in de spannende ‘stoel van het jaar 1985’. De eeuwenoude keramiek van Tichelaar Makkum werd opzienbarend design door de creativiteit van Studio Job en Hella Jongerius. Christien Meindertsma maakte furore op de ‘Salone’ van Milaan met haar interpretatie van het Hindelooper meubel. En Claudy Jongstra laat in haar viltkleden zien wat ecologisch activisme en design kunnen betekenen voor de maatschappij van de eenentwintigste eeuw. Kortom, de vruchtbare combinatie van traditie en ambacht, kunst en vernieuwing vormt de rode draad in het verhaal van Fryslân als een verrassende broedplaats van design.
Bert Looper is historicus en publiceert boeken en artikelen over geschiedenis, kunst en design.

Cache-sexe
€ 34,90This book asks why humans through history have covered their genitals and worn a cache-sexe. Does the cache-sexe merely provide protection, or is it an instrument to draw attention? Can the cache-sexe be used to stimulate certain thoughts? Why does not wearing a cache-sexe provoke shame one society but not in another? Are nudity and nakedness the same?
On his quest to answer these questions, the author takes the reader on a review of the anatomy of the female and male genitals and reflects on how this part of the human body has been perceived over time and in various cultures. The different types of male and female cache-sex are discussed with reference to comprehensive illustrations based on unique and sometimes previously unpublished examples of cache-sexes and photographic documentation. The book also pays attention to the covering of the ‘backside’. Following this 360° exploration of the use of the cache-sexe, the place of the cache-sexe in art and fashion is uncovered.
