Download or read book Tony Cragg written by Tony Cragg and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally renowned British sculptor Tony Cragg (1949) is presented here through a selection of his latest sculptures as well as an overview of his graphic works, showing his artistic path and creative process from the initial idea to the final object. Tony Cragg has set his relations between the natural and the artificial. In his work, there is a momentum swinging towards the invisible and the visible. Spirituality fails to be overlapped by the medium of idealistic support. The materials this creator uses could be a path against himself from the outset. Each one of them recycles, transforms, collides and produces changes to adapt to later on, just like the planet's tectonic forces - in orders that coexist with its instability. The artist proclaims the function of the imagination beyond the mutilation of words, wishing to find a vocabulary for the emotions and effects that breaks ties with positivism and favours our way of grasping the universe.

Download or read book Archaeologies of Cultural Contact written by Timothy Clack and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologies of Cultural Contact undertakes an exploration of cultural transfer, with a particular focus on the combination and modification of both material and behavioural attributes under conditions of contact. From globalization and displacement to cultural legitimization and identity politics, the modern world is characterised by, and articulated through, dynamics of contact and transfer. This book recognises that creolization, ethnogenesis, hybridity, and syncretism are analytical concepts and social processes, relevant not only to the postcolonial contexts of the twentieth century but also to wide-ranging instances where contact is made between cultural groups. Indeed, in representing the re-working of pre-existing cultural elements, they were crucial and ever-present features of the human past. Ranging in their analytical frame, scale, and geographical and temporal location, the chapters in this volume demonstrate the diverse understandings that can be gained from explorations into the material remains of past contact, exposing and overcoming various limitations of competing models of cultural change. They permit insights into not only cultural change and difference but also the processes of appropriation, resistance, redefinition, and incorporation. Together, the contributions articulate the perspectives that concern practices in relations to people, places, and things, and note how power dynamics mediate social interactions and sustain and constrain forms of cultural contact. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in archaeology as well those from cognate disciplines, particularly anthropology and history.
Download or read book Crossing Boundaries The Journey from Teacher to Teaching Artist written by Purnima Ruanglertbutr and published by The Melbourne Graduate School of Education. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Boundaries: The Journey from Teacher to Teaching Artist is an exhibition curated by Purnima Ruanglertbutr. Crossing Boundaries displays more than sixty works of art by twenty-seven secondary school Visual Art teachers who have recently graduated from the Master of Teaching (Secondary, Art) program at the University of Melbourne. In addition to a wide range of eclectic artworks across multiple mediums, this catalogue comprises succinct and informative commentaries on the role that art making plays in the graduates’ teaching. These are special insights; Visual Art teachers are educators who carry the expectation that to be good in the classroom, they should have a vibrant private practice – that in order to ‘teach it’, they also have to prove that they can ‘do it’. But through their works of art and artist statements, the participants in this exhibition question their practice and expose themselves to continued examination and critique. The commentaries reveal the graduates exhibit professional identities that amalgamate both the roles of an ‘artist’ and a ‘teacher’ through a re-framing of the teacher of art as an ‘artist teacher’ or a ‘teaching artist’. The foreword by Art Education Australia, Art Education Victoria and the introduction by the curator explores the term ‘teaching artist’ within the context of the exhibition - that ‘teaching artists’ boast a hybrid identity fusing the roles of teacher and artist – an identity that conflates two distinct professions and is successful because the artist teacher brings practitioner skills in both professions.

Download or read book Italian Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes in the Metropolitan Museum of Art written by Denise Allen and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he revival of the bronze statuette popular in classical antiquity stands out as an enduring achievement of the Italian Renaissance. These small sculptures attest to early modern artists' technical prowess, ingenuity, and desire to emulate—or even surpass—the ancients. From the studioli, or private studies, of humanist scholars in fifteenth-century Padua to the Fifth Avenue apartments of Gilded Age collectors, viewers have delighted in the mysteries of these objects: how they were made, what they depicted, who made them, and when. This catalogue is the first systematic study of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's European Sculpture and Decorative Arts collection of Italian bronzes. The collection includes statuettes of single mythological or religious figures, complex figural groups, portrait busts, reliefs, utilitarian objects like lamps and inkwells, and more. Stunning new photography of celebrated masterpieces by leading artists such as Antico, Riccio, and Giambologna; enigmatic bronzes that continue to perplex; quotidian objects; later casts; replicas; and even forgeries show the importance of each work in this complex field. International scholars provide in-depth discussions of 200 objects included in this volume, revealing new attributions and dating for many bronzes. An Appendix presents some 100 more complete with provenance and references. An essay by Jeffrey Fraiman provides further insight into Italian bronze statuettes in America with a focus on the history of The Met's collection, and Richard E. Stone, who pioneered the technical study of bronzes, contributes an indispensable text on how artists created these works and what their process conveys about the object's maker. A personal reminiscence by James David Draper, who oversaw the Italian sculpture collection for decades, rounds out this landmark catalogue that synthesizes decades of research on these beloved and complex works of art.
