Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From oversized stuffed animals to sewn paintings, from pastiches of minimalist sculptures to recreations of shop display systems, Cosima von Bonin's work blends formalism and Pop, oscillating between seriousness and fun, weighed down with melancholy or fizzing with critical wit. This book features new texts by her long-standing collaborator Dirk von Lowtzow and from the cult writer Mark von Schlegell, revealing the quirky world of references that inform von Bonin's unusual practice. Accompanying an exhibition that takes sloth as one of its central themes, the book also reproduces an existing array of texts on laziness and sloth that were first published by Brooklyn-based Cabinet magazine in 2008.The penultimate in Witte de With's Source Book series, this publication continues to explore the sources that artists employ in their work, while also acting as a source for further research by others.

Download or read book Canvases and Careers Today written by Daniel Birnbaum and published by Sternberg Press. This book was released on 2008-04-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canvases and Careers Today brings together contributions from the eponymous conference organized by the Institut für Kunstkritik, Frankfurt am Main. Its goal is to provide deeper insights and more complexity to current debates on the relationship between criticism, art, and the market. “It was especially interesting for us to watch a kind of transatlantic divide happening. While the US-American participants mostly declared criticism as obsolete while hoping for turning its weakness into a strength, most European participants departed from the opposite diagnosis: that criticism has never been as strong as it is today, since it is now part of a knowledge-based economy.”—Isabelle Graw/Daniel Birnbaum Contributors George Baker, Johanna Burton, Merlin Carpenter, Melanie Gilligan, Isabelle Graw, Tom Holert, Branden W.

Download or read book The Imaginary Sea written by and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reflection on our changing relationship with the sea, imagined by artists such as Jeff Koons and Alison Katz It goes without saying that our relationship to the natural world, especially the sea and its enigmatic and unfathomable contents, is complex and fraught. Far from a wholesale critical condemnation of anthropocentrism, The Imaginary Sea seeks to present a balanced, multifaceted perspective of our evolving relationship with the natural world. It operates, if not in different temporalities, then in different imaginations, compiling work inspired by the sea from artists such as Jeff Koons, Miquel Barceló and Alison Katz, working across a wide range of mediums. This publication, released alongside the eponymous exhibition at the Fondation Carmignac, considers not only how artists are reevaluating our relationship with nature, but also how nature, particularly the sea, sparks our imagination. Akin to the emotional range of a Shakespearian comedy or tragedy, The Imaginary Sea intends to evoke joy, mystery, wonder and melancholy, as well as loss.

Download or read book Past Realization Volume 1 written by John C. Welchman and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of dynamic and engaged writings by art historian John C. Welchman on a range of contemporary European artists: Vasco Araújo, Cosima von Bonin, Jan De Cock, Orshi Drozdik, Susan Hiller, Andy Hope 1930, Michael Kunze, Nathaniel Mellors, Miguel Palma, José Álvaro Perdices, Sascha Pohle, Thomas Raat, Nicola Stäglich, and Xavier Veilhan. Anchored in concerns that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s, Welchman poses thoughtful and provocative questions about how these artists receive and negotiate the social and aesthetic histories through which they live and work. Past Realization inaugurates XX–XXI, John C. Welchman's two-part series on European art from this and the last century, which will be followed by a series on West Coast artists and one on the work of Mike Kelley.
Download or read book Porous Polymers written by Michael S. Silverstein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers the various aspects of the porous polymer field into one volume. It not only presents a fundamental description of the field, but also describes the state of the art for such materials and provides a glimpse into the future. Emphasizing a different aspect of the ongoing research and development in porous polymers, the book is divided into three sections: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications. The first part of each chapter presents the basic scientific and engineering principles underlying the topic, while the second part presents the state of the art results based on those principles. In this fashion, the book connects and integrates topics from seemingly disparate fields, each of which embodies different aspects inherent in the diverse field of porous polymeric materials.
Download or read book Georges Seurat written by Christoph Becker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as "the notary" by his contemporaries for his very proper disposition, Georges Seurat (1859-1891), was nonetheless a trailblazing artist, who devised mesmerizing effects in paint, creating what Museum of Modern Art, New York director Alfred Barr described as a "strange, almost breathless poise." Seurat's most famous painting, "La Grande Jatte" (1884), exemplifies the airy suspension of which "Pointillism" (as his style of painting-by-dabs was named) is uniquely capable, a sensation well suited to evoking in paint the sedate pace of Paris' new leisure class. For Seurat, Pointillism was also a way to attain for painting the mathematically explicable harmony of music: "Art is Harmony. Harmony is the analogy of the contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, considered according to their dominance and under the influence of light, in gay, calm or sad combinations," he declared in a letter to a friend. Seurat's style lent itself especially well to the portrayal of figures in space, and the endowing of those figures with volume and atmosphere. No other visual theme so well illustrates the tremendous innovations in Seurat's paintings and drawings as this handling of the figure, a theme which is at the heart of this new appraisal.

Book excerpt: "The exhibition is the first to focus on the implications of Darwinism for the fine arts. All of the artists featured in the exhibition shared an interest in the natural sciences and either read texts by Darwin or by those who reacted to him. With approximately 150 paintings, drawings, and lithographs as well as rare documentary material, the exhibition showcases artists such as Martin Johnson Heade, František Kupka, Odilon Redon, George Frederic Watts, Arnold Böcklin, Gabriel von Max, Alfred Kubin, and Max Ernst, and thus spans the period from 1859 to the mid twentieth century."--Schirn Kunsthalle website (viewed July 26, 2009).

Book excerpt: For 40 years, the Skulptur Projekte Münster has been a unique engine for contemporary art. Held every ten years, its curatorial direction has been in the hands of Kasper König since its inception in 1977. International artists are invited to develop site-related works for Münster. The projects are as diverse as the artists themselves, going beyond the specific location to engage with global themes, contemporary notions of sculpture and ongoing questions relating to the public space in times of increasing digitization. The fifth edition of the Skulptur Projekte, opening in summer 2017, features 30 new artistic positions moving between sculpture, installation and performance art. This publication, produced in conjunction with the show, is a combination of exhibition catalog and guide, presented in a handy format. Seven essays, an extensive series of images and short texts provide information about the projects.

Download or read book Kara Walker a Black Hole Is Everything a Star Longs to Be written by Anita Haldemann and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enormous clothbound panorama of Kara Walker's works on paper--all reproduced for the first time This gorgeous 600-page volume provides an exciting opportunity to delve into the creative process of Kara Walker, one of the most celebrated artists working in the United States today. Primarily recognized for her monumental installations, Walker also works with ink, graphite and collage to create pieces that demonstrate her continued engagement with her own identity as an artist, an African American, a woman and a mother. More than 700 works on paper created between 1992 and 2020--which are reproduced in print for the first time from the artist's own strictly guarded private archive--are collected in this volume, thus capturing Walker's career with an unprecedented level of intimacy. Since the early 1990s, the foundation of her artistic production has been drawing and working on paper in various ways. Walker's completed large-format pieces are presented among typewritten notes on index cards and dream journal entries; sketches and studies for pieces appear alongside collages. The result is a volume that allows readers to become eyewitnesses to the genesis of Walker's art and the transformative power of the figures and narratives she has created over the course of her career. Now based in New York, Kara Walkerwas born in Stockton, California, in 1969. She received her Master of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1994; soon afterwards, Walker rose to prominence for her large, provocative silhouettes installed directly onto the walls of exhibition spaces. Walker's work confronts history, race relations and sexuality in a decidedly non-conciliatory manner, urging the public to reconsider established narratives surrounding the experiences of African Americans in particular.

Book excerpt: This publication "sheds light on the phenomenon of research in the visual arts. In ’artistic research,’ practical acts (the making) and theoretical reflection (the thinking) go hand in hand, in a manner similar to creating and thinking being inextricably linked with artistic practice. -- This volume has been written from the perspective of art as practice. The majority of the authors are artists, while several artists provided visual contributions that elucidate the phenomenon of research in art. There are also contributions form theoreticians, who analyse how artistic research works (and how it is productive)"--P.[3] of cover.
