Book excerpt: For years, contemporary photography and video art have played a substantial role in the avant-garde sector of Spain's multifaceted culture. Their unique quality is grounded in a power of emotion that inscribes in the hues and colors, politics and history a certain something which constitutes Spain's identity. This publication is a collection of works by thirty-one contemporary artists and reflects the cornucopia and continuity of this robust visual culture. Unchecked by academic tendencies, Spanish photography has been gradually developing since the early nineties, finally achieving a breakthrough that established it as an independent medium. The selection of artists here sheds some light on how much this movement has grown and simultaneously established its own methods of expression which can be regarded as unmistakably Spanish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Ghostly Landscapes, Patricia M. Keller analyses the aesthetics of haunting and the relationship between ideology and image production by revisiting twentieth-century Spanish history through the camera's lens. Through its vision she demonstrates how the traumatic losses of the Spanish Civil War and their systematic denial and burial during the fascist dictatorship have constituted fertile territory for the expressions of loss, uncanny return, and untimeliness that characterize the aesthetic presence of the ghost. Examining fascist documentary newsreels, countercultural art films from the Spanish New Wave, and conceptual landscape photographs created since the transition to democracy, Keller reveals how haunting serves to mourn loss, redefine space and history, and confirm the significance of lives and stories previously hidden or erased. Her richly illustrated book constitutes a significant reevaluation of fascist and post-fascist Spanish visual culture and a unique theorization of haunting as an aesthetic register inextricably connected to the visual and the landscape."--Publisher's website.
Download or read book Contemporary Spanish Culture written by Paul J. Smith and published by Polity. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible introduction to the exciting field of contemporary Spanish visual culture is the first of its kind. It combines cultural context with close readings of particular works. Going beyond the field of cinema, in which Spain is an acknowledged leader, Smith examines new developments in television, where original and innovative series drama has recently blossomed. He also explores Spanish fashion, where 'classic' design is married to high tech production and distribution. Two aspects of Spanish visual art are considered: the career of Miquel Barcelo, global artist and pure painter, and Basque conceptual art which, through photography and installation, puts a new spin on international questions of gender and sexuality. Finally, Contemporary Spanish Culture examines Catalan independent cinema and the most recent work of Spain's best known director, Pedro Almodovar, who has resurrected a genre long considered dead: the art movie. This innovative new book provides an ideal introduction for undergraduates and will be essential reading for those working in Hispanic studies, cultural studies, and film.
Download or read book Fragments Along the Archipelago written by Beth Ann Zinsli and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation seeks to reconsider the medium of photography as a system of visual and aesthetic representation within the context of the contemporary Spanish Caribbean and its U.S. diasporas. Aspects of fracture, fragmentation, and incoherence haunt both of the interdisciplinary areas into which this inquiry delves: the history and theory of photography and Caribbean studies. Comprised of discrete but interconnected case studies, my project replicates the fragmented form of Antonio Benítez-Rojo's metaphorical meta-archipelago and serves as a critical intervention into the history of photography via the Spanish Caribbean, including its U.S. diasporas. I consider the afterlives of Walker Evans's Havana 1933 portfolio and the photographs produced for it; vernacular photographs in circulation; the work of contemporary artists using photography in the Spanish Caribbean, including Carlos Garaicoa, Raquel Paiewonsky, Karlo Andrei Ibarra; and artists using photography in the U.S. diasporas, including Abelardo Morell, Scherezade García, and Adál. Each section is examined as a distinct photographic fragment along the archipelago of the contemporary Spanish Caribbean and its U.S. diasporas. Throughout the project, I repeatedly push against the notion that the Spanish Caribbean as a cultural designation can be bounded solely by the places where the edge of an island meets the sea. Instead, I expand the place of the contemporary Spanish Caribbean to include its diaspora populations in the United States and even the spaces of transit and circulation between psychic and geographic locales. Similarly, the diversity of the photographic case studies from or about the Spanish Caribbean that I consider through the four thematic chapters of this project gestures to the lack of homogeneity inherent in the set of images we nevertheless refer to uniformly as "photography." Ultimately, I posit photography as a form of visuality rather than as a visual medium as such.

Download or read book Contemporary Spanish Gothic written by Ann Davies and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines Spain's contribution to international interest in Gothic culture, film and literatureWith the success of novels such as The Shadow of the Wind and films like The Others, contemporary Spanish culture has contributed a great deal to the imagery and experience of the Gothic, although such contributions are not always recognised as being specifically Spanish in origin. Contemporary Spanish Gothic is the first book to study how the Gothic mode intersects with cultural production in Spain today, considering some of the ways in which such production feeds off and simultaneously feeds into Gothic production more widely. Examining the works of writers and filmmakers like Carlos Ruiz ZafAn, Arturo PA(c)rez-Reverte, Pedro AlmodAvar and Alejandro AmenA!bar, as well as the further reaches of Spanish Gothic influence in the Twilight film series, the book considers images and themes like the mad surgeon and the vulnerable body, the role of the haunted house, and the heritage biopics of Francisco de Goya.
Download or read book Documenting Spain Artists Exhibition Culture and the Modern Nation 1929 1939 written by and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The news media have given us potent demonstrations of the ambiguity of ostensibly truthful representations of public events. Jordana Mendelson uses this ambiguity as a framework for the study of Spanish visual culture from 1929 to 1939--a decade marked, on the one hand, by dictatorship, civil war, and Franco's rise to power and, on the other, by a surge in the production of documentaries of various types, from films and photographs to international exhibitions. Mendelson begins with an examination of El Pueblo Español, a model Spanish village featured at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. She then discusses Buñuel's and Dalí's documentary films, relating them not only to French Surrealism but also to issues of rural tradition in the formation of regional and national identities. Her highly original book concludes with a discussion of the 1937 Spanish Pavilion, where Picasso's famed painting of the Fascist bombing of a Basque town--Guernica--was exhibited along with monumental photomurals by Josep Renau. Based upon years of archival research, Mendelson's book opens a new perspective on the cultural politics of a turbulent era in modern Spain. It explores the little-known yet rich intersection between avant-garde artists and government institutions. It shows as well the surprising extent to which Spanish modernity was fashioned through dialogue between the seemingly opposed fields of urban and rural, fine art, and mass culture.
Download or read book The Spanish Style House written by and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luminous new photography showcases contemporary and historic homes in the beloved Spanish Style in Southern California, while offering, as well, a rare look at the original inspirations to the style, born in Andalusia, Spain. The great appeal of Spanish Style homes lies in their aura of romance and drama, a sense of story, of magic, as well as in their very comfortable and engaging proportions and the great livability of the interior spaces. Deep shadow, arched doorways, trickling courtyard fountains, climbing bougainvillea on wrought-iron window grilles, wood-beamed ceilings, and white plaster walls are all hallmarks of the style. Here, through a celebration of contemporary and historic homes in Southern California, as well as existing historic precedents in Andalusia, Spain--most notably the intricately detailed Casa de Pilatos in Seville and the Alhambra of Granada--The Spanish Style House presents the definitive picture of the style as it exists today. Featured homes include the George Washington Smith-designed Casa Blanca (1928)--a fantasy made real in stone and stucco replete with the romance of old Morocco in its horseshoe arches, domes, and evocative tile murals--and a Marc Appleton-designed beach house (2007) in Del Mar, California, which is a dream on the sea and an eloquent testament to the virtues of the style for today.
