It has often been argued that the arrival of the early-20th-century avant-gardes and modernisms coincided with an in-depth exploration of the materiality of art and writing. The European historical avant-gardes and modernisms excelled in their attempts to establish the specificity of media and art forms as well as in experimenting with the hybridity of the materials of their multiple disciplines. This third volume of the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies sheds light on the full range and import of this aspect in avant-garde and modernist aesthetics across all art forms and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The book's contributions, written by experts from some 20 countries, seek to answer the following questions: What sort of objects and material, works and media help us to properly grasp the avant-garde and modernist "aesthetics of matter"? How were affects, emotions and sensory and bodily experiences transferred and transformed in the experiment with matter? How were "immaterial" things such as concepts of time changed in this aesthetic moment? What "material meanings" were disseminated in the cultural transfer and translation of objects? How did subsequent avant-gardes deal with the "aesthetics of matter" in their response to historical predecessors?

The German-Jewish émigré composer Stefan Wolpe was a vital figure in the history of modernism, with affiliations ranging from the Bauhaus, Berlin agitprop and the kibbutz movement to bebop, Abstract Expressionism and Black Mountain College. This is the first full-length study of this often overlooked composer, launched from the standpoint of the mass migrations that have defined recent times. Drawing on over 2000 pages of unpublished documents, Cohen explores how avant-garde communities across three continents adapted to situations of extreme cultural and physical dislocation. A conjurer of unexpected cultural connections, Wolpe serves as an entry-point to the utopian art worlds of Weimar-era Germany, pacifist movements in 1930s Palestine and vibrant art and music scenes in early Cold War America. The book takes advantage of Wolpe's role as a mediator, bringing together perspectives from music scholarship, art history, comparative literature, postcolonial studies and recent theories of cosmopolitanism and diaspora.

What's happening?' neemt de lezer mee naar de roerige jaren zestig en zeventig. Het Stedelijk Museum schudde kunstwereld en publiek wakker met tentoonstellingen als Bewogen Beweging, Dylaby en Op Losse Schroeven. Het Van Abbemuseum organiseerde de eerste tentoonstelling in Nederland van Joseph Beuys, het Haags Gemeentemuseum presenteerde minimal art, Sonsbeek 71 ging alle perken te buiten en de documenta in Kassel en de Biënnale in Venetië werden mikpunt van kunstenaarsprotesten. De kunstwereld trilde op zijn grondvesten. Ook de rol van de criticus stond ter discussie. Jonneke Jobse en Catrien Schreuder selecteerden 37 artikelen van toonaangevende critici als Cor Blok, Carel Blotkamp, Jan Eijkelboom, Rudi Fuchs, Betty van Garrel, George Lampe, Lambert Tegenbosch en Dolf Welling, die laten zien hoe er in de kunstkritiek op de artistieke vernieuwingen is gereageerd.
