BELLAS ARTES

In spaces that forgo easy categorization of traditional or contemporary, Hallberg uses art and objects from every genre and era—eighteenth-century gilt consoles, African baskets, selenite-slab tables—in a seductive interpretation of modernity that embodies the multifaceted, multicultural way we live today. Wrought by a native Californian with the heart of a classicist, these rooms reserve space for sunlight, foliage, and the sound of trickling water, which make the exalted approachable and revere the perfectly imperfect. Hallberg incorporates the finest natural and artisanal materials—reclaimed wood, hand-troweled plaster, marble, limestone, crisp linen, and sumptuous wool—but understands that the greatest luxury of all is comfort. This volume chronicles the instinctual process of a designer who eschews hard-and-fast rules for the wonder of breaking them, who leaves no stone unturned in his uncompromising search for beauty, and whose lifelong pursuit of the magical, ineffable, and gorgeous has yielded an incomparable oeuvre.

The House of Chanel offers rare access behind the scenes to three haute couture runway shows designed in dialogue with contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan. Virginie Viard, artistic director for Chanel’s fashion collections, entrusted Xavier Veilhan with the set design for three consecutive haute couture shows: Spring‒Summer 2022, Fall‒Winter 2022/23, and Spring‒Summer 2023. This unusually long dialogue resulted in an original visual universe, blending Veilhan’s poetic imagination, his reinterpretation of the Chanel world, and the infinite delicacy of Virginie Viard’s haute couture creations.

De Yung Beef a C. Tangana o Rosalía: la historia de la generación musical más excitante de nuestro tiempo. Detrás del contrato entre PXXR GVNG y Sony, de la actuación de Rosalía en los Goya, de la lona de C. Tangana en la Gran Vía de Madrid o de la entrevista de La Zowi en La Resistencia se esconde la historia más fascinante sobre un relevo generacional. Una nueva escena marcada por internet y por la falta de prejuicios en una década de momentos traducidos en rupturas aceleradas. La conversación política, estética y afectiva a través de la música que ha sido la más seguida en tiempo real. Nuevas formas de entender la industria; sobreproducción de música e imágenes, de memes y virales. Una serie de acontecimientos que nos hacen dudar de si lo que hemos vivido es realidad o simulacro.
