Why are we not? In \u003ci\u003eThe Dialectic of Creativity\u003c\/i\u003e, Hermann Vaske explores these questions in conversations with Marina Abramović, Vivienne Westwood, David Hockney, Georg Baselitz, Björk, Jeff Koons, Zaha Hadid, Christo, Yoko Ono, Damien Hirst, Jim Jarmusch, Shirin Neshat, David Bowie, and many more of the most influential creatives of our time. He identifies the stimuli as well as the beta blockers, the killers of creativity: spirituality, sex, money, fear, nurture, ambition versus censorship, self-censorship, bureaucracy, compromise, distraction, and gatekeepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOften it is those very blockages, the threats to creativity, that allow it to thrive—a dialectical synthesis of opposites. Today, as we are facing an existential threat to our planet, it is time to come up with new ideas, more creative than ever. \u003ci\u003eThe Dialectic of Creativity\u003c\/i\u003e explores all facets of creativity—artistic, intellectual, philosophical, and scientific. It is accompanied by a film trilogy and an exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47363083796716,"sku":"9783775752923","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9318953483532.jpg?v=1772913533","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-dialectic-of-creativity-9783775752923","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
