Download or read book Chicano and Chicana Art written by Jennifer A. González and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology provides an overview of the history and theory of Chicano/a art from the 1960s to the present, emphasizing the debates and vocabularies that have played key roles in its conceptualization. In Chicano and Chicana Art—which includes many of Chicano/a art's landmark and foundational texts and manifestos—artists, curators, and cultural critics trace the development of Chicano/a art from its early role in the Chicano civil rights movement to its mainstream acceptance in American art institutions. Throughout this teaching-oriented volume they address a number of themes, including the politics of border life, public art practices such as posters and murals, and feminist and queer artists' figurations of Chicano/a bodies. They also chart the multiple cultural and artistic influences—from American graffiti and Mexican pre-Columbian spirituality to pop art and modernism—that have informed Chicano/a art's practice.

Book Gronk

    Book Details:
  • Author : Max Benavidez
  • Publisher : U of Minnesota Press
  • Release : 2007
  • ISBN : 9780895511010
  • Pages : 140 pages

Download or read book Gronk written by Max Benavidez and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gronk was born in 1954 in the barrios of East Los Angeles. An autodidact by circumstance, he began his career as an urban muralist who had to look up the word “mural” to know whether he could paint one. Over time, he has grown into an international figure who has created grand sets for operas and computerized animation for panoramic screens. In this sweeping examination of Gronk's oeuvre, Max Benavidez elucidates how the artist can cross genres, sexual categories, and ethnic barriers, yet still remain true to himself. From street murals to mail art, from large-scale action painting to performance art and operatic set design, Gronk has made a lasting mark on the Chicano art movement, the punk scene, gay art, and the cultural world stage. As a founder of the East L.A. avant-garde art collective Asco (Spanish for nausea), Gronk and his contemporaries responded to Hollywood's rejection of Chicanos by creating a conceptual countercinema, the No Movie, that incorporated Hollywood imagery and style even as it wickedly dissected the banality and biases of the mass media. In collaborations with Cyclona, Mundo Meza, Jerry Dreva, and Tomata DuPlenty, Gronk challenged the limits of sexuality, gender norms, and taste. What Benavidez ultimately reveals is Gronk's uncanny power to reinvent himself and his art, moving through one vivid artistic and subcultural scene to another. Add large doses of Gronk's wit, irony, and talent and you have the story of his major contribution not only to Chicano art but to late twentieth-century culture. Max Benavidez is a writer, independent scholar, essayist for the Los Angeles Times, and a consultant to a wide range of cultural and academic institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book tells the story of US performance artists who adopted guerrilla tactics during the 1970s and 1980s in response to the "cultural domestication of militancy" in the United States. In the 1960s, as US news was covering anti-colonialist resistance in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, they fashioned the persona of the "guerrilla fighter" as the embodiment of a "foreign" agent of threat. A key example was Che Guevara, resplendent in his beret and camouflage garb. It wasn't long before the nation was consuming endless images of militant protestors donning berets and carrying guns in gestures conjuring Che. As the Black Panthers, Brown Berets, Young Lords, and Weathermen adopted the uniforms and the tactics of armed and psychological interference, artists across the country began to use sabotage, hijacking, deception, and other "risk work" to wage conceptual war on both art and society. They fabricated Chicano gang wars, held TV talk shows hosts hostage, and posed as hijackers in the garb of guerrilla-terrorists made iconic by the news"--

Book Bruce Nauman

  • Author : Bruce Nauman
  • Publisher : JHU Press
  • Release : 2002-05-29
  • ISBN : 9780801869068
  • Pages : 432 pages

Download or read book Bruce Nauman written by Bruce Nauman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2002-05-29 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the beginning I was trying to see if I could make art that did that. Art that was just there all at once. Like getting hit in the face with a baseball bat. Or better yet, like getting hit in the back of the neck. You never see it coming; it just knocks you down. I like that idea very much: the kind of intensity that doesn't give you any trace of whether you're going to like it or not."—Bruce Nauman "Bruce Nauman's art is about heightened awareness, awareness of spaces we usually don't notice (the one under the chair, out of which he made a sculpture) and sounds we don't listen for (the one in the coffin), awareness of emotions we suppress or dread... It's hard to feel indifferent to work like his."—Michael Kimmelman, New York Times One of America's most important artists, Bruce Nauman has worked in a dazzling variety of media since the mid-1960s: sculpture, photography, performance, installation, sound, holography, film, and video. What has been a constant throughout his career, however, is his persistence in exploring both art as an investigation of the self and the power of language to define that self. The latest volume in the acclaimed Art + Performance series is the first book to combine the key critical writings on Nauman with the artist's own writings and interviews with him, as well as images of his work. Bruce Nauman offers a multifaceted portrait of an artist whose determination to experiment with style and form has created a body of work as eclectic and perhaps more influential than that of any other living American artist.
