Book excerpt: Sweet Liberty brings together 15 years of work by painter Dan Colen (born 1979), one of the "bad boys" of the New York art world who emerged onto the scene in the early 2000s alongside artists like Dash Snow and Ryan McGinley. Witty, shocking, poignant and nihilistic, Colen's art presents a portrait of contemporary America and investigates the acts of producing and looking at art. Alongside significant early works such as "Me, Jesus and the Children" (2001-03), this publication features paintings from Colen's long-running Gum and Trash series, as well as four installations in which Colen appropriates imagery from the mass media and American subcultures. This volume marks, in Colen's own words, "the first time I've been able to present the full range of my work and the wide-ranging ideas, crafts, materials, technologies and processes that I engage with."
Download or read book Dan Colen written by Douglas Fogle and published by . This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates two new performance pieces and a recent body of paintings by the artist, drawing on desert landscapes, Road Runner cartoons, and Hollywood Westerns.0Bursting with full-color plates and performance stills suffused in a rich desert palette, this volume was published on the occasion of an exhibition of new paintings by Dan Colen and the accompanying premiere of two performance pieces created in collaboration with choreographer Dimitri Chamblas.0Colen's Desert Paintings (2015-19) are lush yet schematic interpretations of stills from Chuck Jones's animated shorts featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. These unpopulated depictions of the cartoons' arid settings recall hard-edge abstraction, biomorphic landscapes by Georgia O'Keeffe, and popular art forms such as stage sets, billboards, and the Hollywood Western. The American cowboys who might inhabit these scenes were brought to life in two performances Colen presented with the Desert Paintings as a backdrop. In At Least They Died Together and Carry On Cowboy, figures in full Western regalia repeatedly performed a stylized, convulsive death on a mound of dirt in the gallery. In an insightful essay, Douglas Fogle explores the works' rich interplay of allusions, ultimately placing them in the context of the modern human condition.00Exhibition: Gagosian Galllery, Beverly Hills, USA (02.11-15.12.2018).

Download or read book Avicenna and the Visionary Recital written by Henry Corbin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work a distinguished scholar of Islamic religion examines the mysticism and psychological thought of the great eleventh-century Persian philosopher and physician Avicenna (Ibn Sina), author of over a hundred works on theology, logic, medicine, and mathematics. Henry Corbin's discovery in an Istanbul library of the manuscript of a Persian translation of and commentary on Avicenna's Hayy ibn Yaqzan, written in Arabic, led him to an analysis of three of Avicenna's mystical "recitals." These form an initiatory cycle leading the adept along the path of spiritual progress. In Part I Corbin summarizes the great themes that show the philosophical situation of Avicennan man in the cosmos and presents translations of these three great Avicennan recitals. Part II is a complete translation, with notes, of the Persian commentary. Originally published in 1960.

Download or read book Liquor Store Theatre written by Maya Stovall and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For six years Maya Stovall staged Liquor Store Theatre, a conceptual art and anthropology video project---included in the Whitney Biennial in 2017---in which she danced near the liquor stores in her Detroit neighborhood as a way to start conversations with her neighbors. In this book of the same name, Stovall uses the project as a point of departure for understanding everyday life in Detroit and the possibilities for ethnographic research, art, and knowledge creation. Her conversations with her neighbors—which touch on everything from economics, aesthetics, and sex to the political and economic racism that undergirds Detroit's history—bring to light rarely acknowledged experiences of longtime Detroiters. In these exchanges, Stovall enacts an innovative form of ethnographic engagement that offers new modes of integrating the social sciences with the arts in ways that exceed what either approach can achieve alone.
Download or read book Creative Legacy written by Nancy Princenthal and published by . This book was released on 2001-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Nauman, Alice Neel, Chuck Close, Cindy Sherman, Dale Chihuly, Nam June Paik: these are just a few of the approximately 5,000 artists whose once-fledgling careers have been fostered by a Visual Artists' Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Sometimes controversial, always committed to the development of art in America, from 1966 to 1995 the NEA awarded many such artists' fellowships to recipients in a diverse range of disciplines. A Creative Legacy presents a compelling insider account of this innovative government program -- how its policies were determined, its panelists selected, and the artists evaluated. The 100 color and nearly 200 black-and-white illustrations showcase a significant sampling of work by both notable and less-recognized honorees; all recipients from 1965 to 1995 are listed in the extensive indices.
