Krátky popis
",More than just a story of an abiding cultural preoccupation, The
Longing For Less peels back the commodified husk of minimalism to
reveal something surprising and thoroughly alive.", -Jenny Odell,
author of How to Do Nothing",Thoughtful and absorbing . . . A
superb outing from a gifted young critic that will spark joy in
many readers.", -Kirkus Reviews, starred review ",Less is more",:
Everywhere we hear the mantra. Marie Kondo and other decluttering
gurus promise that shedding our stuff will solve our problems. We
commit to cleanse diets and strive for inbox zero. Amid the frantic
pace and distraction of everyday life, we covet silence-and airy,
Instagrammable spaces in which to enjoy it. The popular term for
this brand of upscale austerity, ",minimalism,", has mostly come to
stand for things to buy and consume. But minimalism has richer,
deeper, and altogether more valuable gifts to offer. Kyle Chayka is
one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years
covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves
beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to
claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for
less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the
philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the
stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd, composers
such as John Cage and Julius Eastman, architects and designers,
visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their
extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked-from
Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of
Kyoto-he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not
absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist
desires and our profound emotional needs.
