- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Босиљ и Мангелос у Њујорку

Дела Илије Башичевића Босиља и Димитрија Башичевића Мангелоса представљена су у Галерији „Сент Етјен” у Њујорку 24. априла на изложби која је названа Илија/Мангелос, „Фадер енд сан, инсајд енд аут”.

Мангелос је доживео низ значајних групних и самосталних изложби последњих година, ушао у најважније светске музеје (МОМА, Тејт, Помпиду, и др.) али је увек излаган искључиво као истакнути протоконцептуални уметник. Као такав је и освануо на насловној страни најновије књиге о светској концептуалној уметности, у издању музеја Центар „Жорж Помпиду” (Мишел Гoтје, Арт концептуел, Париз, 2013).

.

На овој изложби је међутим Мангелос изложен као део занимљивог уметничког феномена, два уметника који се баве заправо сродним темама са сасвим различитим уметничким изразима, истовремено оца и сина који су преживели страхоте Другог светског рата и као осуђеници на смрт бежали у Беч (1942).

Изложба у Њујорку траје до 3. јула.

Theological Disambiguations

An Unconventional Handbook of Orthodox Theology

by Rev. Vladan Perisic

Foreword
by Fr John Behr

It is a great pleasure to see this work published, making available some of the most important writings of Fr Vladan Perisic over the last couple of decades available, together in one volume, to an English speaking audience. Fr Vladan’s work is well known in Serbia, and in broader academic and ecumenical circles. But it can now receive the much wider readership that it deserves, and, as a collected volume, its scope, coherence, and significance is sure to receive the recognition it deserves.

The eighteen essays collected here treat diverse topics, from academic theology (and its place in the Church) to questions of life and death, from historically oriented studies, on Sts Ignatius and Gregory Palamas, to contemporary issues, such as human rights and ecology. Each of them is characterized by meticulous scholarship and great insight, clarity of thought and expression.
