A great man is one who collects knowledge the way a bee collects honey and uses it to help people overcome the difficulties they endure - hunger, ignorance and disease!

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

Izložba o arhitekturi Jugoslavije u MoMA muzeju

Najuticajniji muzej moderne umetnosti na svetu, njujorški Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), od 15. jula prikazivaće izložbu Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980, čija je tema arhitektura bivše Jugoslavije.

To će biti prva velika međunarodna izložba koja se bavi arhitekturom bivše Jugoslavije, a koja će obuhvatiti više od 400 crteža, modela, fotografija i video radova iz raznih opštinskih arhiva, porodičnih kolekcija i muzeja širom regiona, putem kojih će posetioci moći da pogledaju dela vodećih arhitekata socijalističke Jugoslavije.

Arhitektura koja se pojavila tokom tog perioda - od modernih nebodera, do monumentalnih spomenika i drugih objekata - predstavlja manifest radikalnog pluralizma, hibridnosti i idealizma koji je karakterisao samu jugoslovensku državu, navodi se u zvaničnoj najavi izložbe.

Izložba istražuje teme urbanizacije, tehnološkog eksperimenta i njegove primene u svakodnevnom životu, spomenicima, memorijalizaciji i globalnom dosijeu jugoslovenske arhitekture, u pravcu konkretne utopije, a predstaviće radove važnih arhitekata, uključujući Bogdana Bogdanovića, Juraja Neidhardta, Svetlane Kane Radević, Edvarda Ravnikara, Vjenčeslava Rihtera i Milice Šterić.

Organizatori izložbe su Martino Sterli, glavni kustos arhitekture i dizajna MoMA muzeja, Vladimir Kulić, gostujući kustos i Ana Kats, kustos asistent na Odseku za arhitekturu i dizajn MoMA muzeja.

Izložba "Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980" biće otvorena od 15. jula ove do 13. januara 2019. godine.

Emmanuel

The Only Begotten and Firstborn among Many Brethren

by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich

In Emmanuel, the second anthology of Bishop Athanasius' articles to appear in English, His Grace explores themes of Orthodox Christology, Soteriology, Ecclesiology, and Gnoseology. How can we know Who God is? How can we know who we are, as human persons created in His image and likeness? How can we become one with Him? Bishop Athanasius examines these and other foundational questions in depth in this volume, drawing from a wealth of Scriptural and patristic sources. In discussing diverse theological subjects, he always returns to his overarching theme: the communion that man can have with God through Jesus Christ the God-man, within Christ's Church and above all in the Holy Eucharist. His exquisite and unique way of engaging the reader in mutual dialogue, with the living Eucharistic experience permeating his every thought, instills in the reader a burning desire for that communion.
