Download or read book Art in the Global Present written by Nikos Papastergiadis and published by UTS ePRESS. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art in the Global Present presents a fascinating collection of essays that together reveal how art is currently navigating a globalised world. It addresses social issues such as the impact of migration, the ‘war on terror’ and the global financial crisis, and questions the transformations produced by new forms of flexible labour and the digital revolution. Through examining the resistance to the politics of globalisation in contemporary art, presenting the construction of an alternative geography of the imagination and reflecting on art’s capacity to express the widest possible sense of being, this book explores the worlds that artists make when they make art. A multifaceted perspective on the complexity of these issues is reached through the words of a diverse range of art practitioners and commentators, including acclaimed artists Lucy Orta, Callum Morton, Danae Stratou and the collective Postcommodity, international curators Hou Hanru, Cuauhtémoc Medina, Ranjit Hoskote and Linda Marie Walker and art critics, academics, writers and theorists Jean Burgess, Paul Carter, Barbara Creed, Geert Lovink, Scott McQuire, Nikos Papastergiadis, Gerald Raunig and Jan Verwoert.
Download or read book Moment of Glory written by John Feinstein and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2010-05-13 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After winning 6 of the 12 Majors from 2000 to 2002, Tiger Woods struggled in 2003. Four unknown golf players -- Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Ben Curtis, and Shaun Micheel -- would seize the day, rising to become champions in his wake. Mike Weir -- considered a good golfer but not a great one -- triumphed in The Masters, becoming the first Canadian to win a Major. Jim Furyk emerged victorious in the U.S. Open. In the British Open, Ben Curtis became the only player since Francis Ouimet in 1913 to prevail on his first time out, and Shaun Micheel came from nowhere to prevail at the PGA Championship. How does one moment of glory affect the unsung underdog for years to follow? In Moment of Glory, John Feinstein returns to the unlikely year of 2003 and chronicles the personal and professional struggles of these four players. With great affection for the underdog and extraordinary access to the players, he then looked to the 2008 season, giving readers an insider's look into how winning (and losing) major championships changes players' lives.
Download or read book Louise Haselton written by Gillian Brown and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louise Haselton offers glimpses of the curious inner lives of everyday and overlooked things. From the domestic to the exotic, the natural to the 'made', she distinctively intuits connections between seemingly disparate material vernaculars. Haselton believes in the invisible forces that bind and repel the world around us. With a witty reverence for the objects and materials she engages with, Haselton explores the communicative possibilities of weight, balance and form within her predominantly sculptural works. Her practice is unexpected, unconventional, and exemplary of an artist especially attuned to the matters which surround us. Louise Haselton: Act natural is a compendium of Haselton's works to date including illustrated essays chronicling the inspirations, influences and ideas behind her extraordinary practice of the last twenty-five years.

Download or read book Insured for Murder written by Robin Yocum and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the ingredients of a first-rate thriller stand out in this investigative report by Robin Yocum and Catherine Candisky, who reveal a sinister and deadly con game that was three years in the making: a murder, an insurance scam with a multi-million dollar payoff, a playboy businessman, a sinister stun-gun-toting neurologist, false identities, and an international manhunt. On the morning of April 16, 1988, the emergency squad was called to the office of Dr. Richard P. Boggs, a respected neurologist in Glendale, California. On the floor of the examining room was the body of Melvin E. Hanson, the vice president of the Just Sweats athletic clothing store chain, based in Columbus, Ohio. Apparently, he had collapsed and died of heart failure during a routine examination. Early next morning, Hanson''s business partner and the company president, John B. Hawkins, arrived from Columbus and had the body unceremoniously cremated. The coroner ruled that Hanson died of natural causes, so there was nothing to be investigated, and the Glendale police did not pursue the case further. But this wasn''t just another unfortunate death. There was something very, very wrong here. The body lying on the floor was not Hanson''s. The corpse was an anonymous double who had been murdered in a scheme to fraudulently collect on Hanson''s life insurance policy.

Download or read book Angela Valamanesh written by Cath Kenneally and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angela Valamanesh is one of Australia's most intriguing ceramic artists. Her art is aesthetically minimal and cunningly simple, allowing us to interpret universal and ever-perplexing human, animal and organic forms. Valamanesh re-immerses us in the primeval rawness of form and function and, in doing so, the artist succeeds in visualising what many of her contemporaries have avoided - the symbiosis between art and science.

Download or read book Gerry Wedd written by Mark Thomson and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When I first came across Mambo, I remember looking at the wall of T-shirt designs, at the breadth and wit of the drawing there, and thought: why would they ever use mine?" In the late 1980s the young surfer and artist, Gerry Wedd, came to the attention of Mambo Graphics, the iconoclastic surf-wear company. With his sense of humour, his subject matter, his encyclopaedic knowledge of surfing culture, and his 'scratch board' style of drawing, Wedd found a spiritual home in Mambo and helped build the developing Mambo ethic. But there's more to Gerry Wedd than Mambo. This latest book in the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) series showcases the work of a unique artist who works in a wide range of media, including ceramics, public art, jewellery and fabric design. In a career spanning three decades, Gerry Wedd's works maintain a sardonic wit and thought-provoking charm. In 'Gerry Wedd' author Mark Thomson reveals a man whose life and work is a pleasant shambles of activity, zigzagging in and out of so many subjects and spaces; an artist who makes no apology for not being modernist or post-, post-post-, or any other sort.
