Download or read book Desert Interviews Or How to Jump Off the Roof and Not Hit the Ground written by Piero Golia and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piero Golia founded in 2005, with his long-time friend Eric Wesley, the Mountain School of Arts, an educational structure that rapidly became a new spot on the cultural map of the city of Los Angeles. This book, composed of discussions between artists, presents a kind of report on this unique 'institution': teaching methods, academic syllabus, and students' selection are here explained with metaphors, compared with artistic interaction, and equated to performances. Not unlike Golia's work itself, the development of the school and its program follow a poetic of the gesture, of the instant, and of actions recalling Fluxus, Gino de Dominicis' or Paul McCarthy's works. Published with Fundación/Colección Jumex, Mexico.
Download or read book Explorers written by Collectif and published by Art Book Magazine Distribution. This book was released on 2016-09-08T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication brings together an outstanding ensemble of works by artist “explorers” selected from France’s national collections. Whatever the terrain — on land or at the depths of the ocean, real, virtual or even at the farthest limits of the subconscious — exploration remains a quest, accomplished thanks to and in spite of oneself, to redefine the contours of a world, whether it exists for real or in our imagination. In this respect, exploration is not so unlike art, which is largely inspired by it, both in terms of how it is done and its objective. From Voyage autour de ma chambre by Xavier de Maistre, whose detailed inventory encompasses just a single room, to Jules Vernes’ Voyages extraordinaires in which we anticipate an exploration of the seas, the centre of the Earth and outer space, the paths taken by the explorer seem infinite, from the most exotic to the most local, from the direct trajectory to the most labyrinthine of routes. In this book, the artist assumes the role of explorer, inventor and cartographer in turn, plunges into the seas, traverses the oceans, digs beneath the earth, loses their way, finds it again or becomes a castaway, taking the read along with them on the ride. This digital book is a revised and enhanced edition of the two catalogues created to present the Explorateurs exhibition shown at the Centre des Arts in Enghien-les-Bains in 2010 then at the Musée de l’Abbaye Sainte-Croix des Sables d’Olonne in 2012.

Download or read book Lullaby Road written by James Anderson and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winter has come to Route 117, a remote road through the high desert of Utah trafficked only by eccentrics, fugitives, and those looking to escape the world. Local truck driver Ben Jones, still in mourning over a heartbreaking loss, is just trying to get through another season of treacherous roads and sudden snowfall without an accident. But then he finds a mute Hispanic child who has been abandoned at a seedy truck stop along his route, far from civilization and bearing a note that simply reads “Please Ben. Watch my son. His name is Juan” And then at the bottom, a few more hastily scribbled words. “Bad Trouble. Tell no one.”. Despite deep misgivings, and without any hint of who this child is or the grave danger he’s facing, Ben takes the child with him in his truck and sets out into an environment that is as dangerous as it is beautiful and silent. From that moment forward, nothing will ever be the same. Not for Ben. Not for the child. And not for anyone along the seemingly empty stretch of road known as Route 117.

Download or read book The Glass Castle written by Jeannette Walls and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BELOVED #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER—FROM THE AUTHOR OF HANG THE MOON The extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, “nothing short of spectacular” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world’s most gifted storytellers. The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family. The memoir was also made into a major motion picture from Lionsgate in 2017 starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.

A team that operates outside the rules laid down by things like the Geneva Convention. Their latest mission takes them into Iran in search of two nuclear missiles. But when the mission fails and a majority of his men are killed in the raid, Raffle suspects betrayal as the evidence starts pointing towards someone in Washington D.C. Maybe even the President himself. Meanwhile, the President receives mysterious calls threatening to release the Gulf War Syndrome on the capitol, unless he publicly admits to a government cover-up concerning the origin of the terrible disease. To make matters worse, the caller knows about the Omega Force and its mission, though only a select few people are supposed to be aware of its existence.

However, this assignment is personal and tainted with a decades-old obsession for revenge. Despite his earlier failure, he will not fail this time, and hes sure Bonn knows hes coming. If Bonn is going to survive, he must rely on the help of three strong women: Rebecca, a Special Ops Colonel and ex-lover; CIA Agent Michelle Milton; and Cari, an Air Force Base Commander. Together, these brilliant, courageous, and fearless women have one goal: draw a sociopathic killer into their trap and save Bonns life.
