Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Biennale f�r aktuelle Fotografie (9 September - 5 November 2017) bids farewell to photography as we know it. Farewell Photography illuminates the radical changes in our dealings with images in the digital era and presents an alternative vision of the history of photography. Since its invention, photography has been a medium of social exchange. With digitization not only has the number of photographic images exploded but their capacity to be reproduced and distributed has multiplied.Sharing is the photographic usage of the moment. The individual, isolated image has had its day; instead, photographs appear as part of chains of communication and relationship networks. On social media and in messenger services a photo often says more than a thousand words, or 140 characters -- it calls for a response, it gets liked, hated, and re-shared.As memes, images spread across the Internet like a virus, are modified by users, and released back into orbit. Their natural state is one of circulation. Every photo on Facebook or Instagram is organized in an online biography and linked with a hashtag to a host of other images.Featuring the work of almost 100 artists and photographers including: F & D Cartier, Jochen Lempert, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rosa Barba, Dirk Braeckman, Barbara Kasten, Oscar Mu�oz, Ed Ruscha, Hans-Peter Feldmann, John Smith, Willem de Rooij, Harun Farocki, Candida H�fer, Arwed Messmer, and Armin Linke.This biennial is created by a team of six curators and is comprised of eight themed exhibitions at Wilhelm-Hack-Museum I & II (Ludwigshafen am Rhein); Port 25 (Mannheim); Sammlung Prinzhorn (Heidelberg); Heidelberger Kunstverein; Kunstverein Ludwigshafen; ZEPHYR (Mannheim); and Kunsthalle Mannheim.

Download or read book A Gust of Photo Philia written by Alexandra Moschovi and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first transnational history of photography’s accommodation in the art museum Photography was long regarded as a “middle-brow” art by the art institution. Yet, at the turn of the millennium, it became the hot, global art of our time. In this book—part institutional history, part account of shifting photographic theories and practices—Alexandra Moschovi tells the story of photography’s accommodation in and as contemporary art in the art museum. Archival research of key exhibitions and the contrasting collecting policies of MoMA, Tate, the Guggenheim, the V&A, and the Centre Pompidou offer new insights into how art as photography and photography as art have been collected and exhibited since the 1930s. Moschovi argues that this accommodation not only changed photography’s status in art, culture, and society, but also played a significant role in the rebranding of the art museum as a cultural and social site.

Download or read book Political Phenomenology written by Thomas Bedorf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years phenomenology has become a resource for reflecting on political questions. While much of this discussion has primarily focused on the ways in which phenomenology can help reformulate central concepts in political theory, the chapters in this volume ask in a methodological and systematic way how phenomenology can connect first-person experience with normative principles in political philosophy. The chapters are divided into three thematic sections. Part I covers the phenomenology of political experience. The chapters in this section focus on a variety of experiences that we come across in political practice. The chapters in Part II address the phenomenology of political ontology by examining the constitution of the realm of the political. Finally, Part III analyzes the phenomenology of political episteme in which our political world is grounded. Political Phenomenology will be of interest to researchers working on phenomenology, Continental philosophy, and political theory.

Download or read book HEAT Series 3 Number 8 written by Alexandra Christie and published by Giramondo Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some things have nothing in common until you put them together, says artist and collector Patrick Pound about his series of found photographs in our latest issue. The writers in HEAT Series 3 Number 8 seem similarly drawn to overlooked meaning. In ‘Shopping’, a short story by Katerina Gibson, a young arts worker in Melbourne overcomes an obsession with designer clothing. The late Hong Kong writer Xi Xi, in a work of autobiographical fiction, processes a cancer diagnosis. Essayist Cameron Hurst finds herself attending a meeting of the Victorian Spiritualists’ Union after reading Henry Handel Richardson. And poets Judith Beveridge and Paul Muldoon transform unassuming animals, people and places into singular moments. Recent praise for HEAT: ‘So slender and elegant, nothing wasted, nothing grandiose — and beautiful work.’ — Helen Garner ‘Elegantly designed and thoughtfully curated, and including work from canonical Australian writers to emerging voices to authors in translation, [HEAT] reminds us how crucial such organs are to the vigour and health of our literary ecosystem.’ — The Saturday Paper ‘A very beautiful and stylish object…long may this new series of HEAT continue!’ — Sarah Holland-Batt ‘I welcome the return of HEAT. Readers and writers alike will revel in its daring audacity, bold exploration and innovative celebration of literature.’ — Alexis Wright

Download or read book Battle for the Museum written by Rachel Spence and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture and power have been bedfellows since ancient times. But now, more than ever, exhibits and the organisations responsible for them have become part of our troubled politics. Protests force out problematic patrons and curators, and pressure museums to abandon fossil fuel sponsorship. Campaigners demand equality and diversity, and condemn exploitation of artists and staff alike. Those confronting racism and imperial legacies call for restitution of cultural objects. Arts journalist Rachel Spence has watched these institutions become a flashpoint for today's social divisions. She interviews those on the frontlines, from artists and activists to directors and donors, revealing stories of elitism, inequality and injustice. Business and finance launder their reputations through art fair and museum patronage, while governments bolster their authority by weaponising or attacking the arts--and ordinary museumgoers mobilise to demand better. How did we get here, and what lies ahead for these institutions? From China and Russia to Helsinki and New York, from the British Museum and the Louvre to the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi, Battle for the Museum uncovers a dark nexus of capital, culture and power--and a radical shift in attitudes, driven by resistance movements fighting fiercely for exhibition spaces that serve today's public.

Download or read book Girl Plays with Snake written by Clare Strand and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[This book] comprises images sourced from the darkest recesses of the artist's extensive archive. The project continues Strand's decades-long engagement with the scrapbooks, magazines and photographs that she has drawn together since her mid-teens. In this iteration of Strand's ongoing research and reflection, women and girls are pictured holding, playing with and gazing fondly at snakes. Key to understanding the intention of the imagery is the inclusion of original accompanying text attached to the reverse, revealing stories of the bizarre and the erotic, alongside Myth and Credo."--Publisher's website.

This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lives of Images, edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, is a set of contemporary thematic readers designed for educators, students, practicing photographers, and others interested in the ways images function within a wide set of cultural practices. The series tracks the many movements and "lives" of images--their tendency to accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies, cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times. Volume I of the series, Repetition, Reproduction, and Circulation, addresses the multiple life cycles of the image--its modes of dispersion, reception, consumption, and aggregation--and the significance of technological reproduction for contemporary forms of social, cultural, and political life. The image is considered both a tool for liberation and a means of repression within the evolving structures of modern life. The essays consider the implications of the nature and effect of the reproducible image on the categories, shapes, and aims of contemporary art and society. Further grounded by two interviews with practitioners in the field, Repetition, Reproduction, and Circulation promises to be an accessible, rigorous, and timely resource for all students, educators, and practitioners of photography.

Book excerpt: "Analogy, Attunement, and Attention brings together a uniquely contemporary and diverse set of voices to address the complex sets of relationships that the photograph creates between its viewers and their bodies, minds, and sense of the physical and metaphysical world.

Download or read book Salvatore Vitale How to Secure a Country written by Salvatore Vitale and published by Lars Muller Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Switzerland is well-known as one of the safest countries on earth and as a prime example of efficiency and efficacy. One of the central reasons that such a country exists is the development of a culture based on protection, which is supported by the presence and production of national security. When in 2014 Swiss people voted in favour of a federal popular initiative against massive immigration, Salvatore Vitale, an immigrant living in Switzerland felt the need to research this phenomenon in order to comprehend where the motives for this constant need for security originate and how they became part of Swiss culture. In How to Secure a Country Vitale explores this country s national security measures by focusing on matterof-fact types of instructions, protocols, bureaucracies, and clear-cut solutions which he visualises in photographs, diagrams, and graphical illustrations. The result is a case study that can be used to explain the global context and the functioning of contemporary societies Essays by political scientists Jonas Hagmann (ETH Zurich) and Roland Bleiker (University of Queensland, Australia) provide an analysis of the structure of the Swiss security system and a view on the politics of photography. Lars Willumeit, curator and social anthropologist, will discuss attitudes, behaviours, and codes in 21st Century statehood. 118 illustrations
