Book excerpt: Mexican artist Martín Soto Climént (b. 1977) makes the lyrical potential of found objects and images the core of his multifaceted conceptual practice, which manifests in works ranging from object-based sculptures and installations to photography, and, recently, painting. Soto Climént?s particular attunement to the associative and affective properties of objects and images enables him to destabilize their conventional reading and to radicalize their potential for new meaning. Drawing out the appealing, sexual, or otherwise heightened qualities of objects, the artist triggers our own structural and linguistic perceptions of desire.0This monograph constitutes the first major assessment of Climént?s fascinatingly rich and intriguingly complex practice. Spanning 20 years of work, it chronicles his exhibition history and provides documentation on his most important groups of works. With contributions by Giorgia von Albertini, Susan L. Aberth, Veit Loers, and Chris Sharp.

Book excerpt: Tiré du site Internet de Mousse Publishing: ""The equation of desire" is the outcome of Mexican artist Martin Soto Climent's efforts to recognise, name and organise all the relevant and substantial aspects of his own life. Starting from this very personal standpoint, the research soon became an investigation into universal questions of life ; it became a series of diagrams about the human condition and also a series of 366 photographs. All of the photographs emerge from a similar process : Soto Climent rolls-up different pages of vintage photographic yearbooks in such a way that a new and surprising image arises. Being a combination of a number of pictures, the result is reminiscent of a collage, but with one essential distinction : the original pictures are neither damaged nor destroyed by being cut up, but just unravel back into their original shape after the shot. The whole process thus results in an ephemeral picture that will disappear again and only remains in the picture taken by the artist. At the same time, the photographs become samples of hidden and unseen pictures that are contained in what surrounds us, pictures that can come to life by a minimal and reversible human act. They are indeed ciphers for the existence of vast potential in the world, a potential that can be harnessed by human creativity. This artist's book was published on the occasion of the show at Kunsthalle Winterthur, where "The equation of desire" was shown the first time."
Download or read book Nelli Palom ki written by Estelle af Malmborg and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Finnish photographer Nelli Palomäki (born 1981) is a graduate of Helsinki's renowned Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture. In her work, she aims to recapture the lost magic that was once inherent in photography. Even 50 years ago, having one's photograph taken was a special event; people donned their Sunday best and gazed, unmoving and serious, into the camera. Palomäki's models likewise tend not to smile, looking steadfastly at us with the kind of openness and attention that could be said to characterize the work of their photographer. This volume gathers Palomäki's black-and-white portraits, mostly of children and young people. The photographer says she wonders what her models will look like ten years from now; her contemplative photographs provoke a like sense of wonder in the viewer.

Download or read book One No One and One Hundred Thousand written by Luca Lo Pinto and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication documents the 2016 exhibition “One, No One and One Hundred Thousand,” which took place at Kunsthalle Wien, Karlsplatz. Curated by Luca Lo Pinto, the show took its inspiration from Oulipo, a literary strategy whose objective was to propose new “structures” for writing that were mathematical in nature. Using A Thousand Billion Poems, a 1961 book by Raymond Queneau, one of Oulipo's founders, as a manifesto for the exhibition, nine artists were invited to create new works in a display that would change depending on the wishes of the visitor. Investigating and reformulating the conventional structure and limitations of exhibition making, “One, No One and One Hundred Thousand” challenged curatorial authorship and explored potentiality. The main actor of the exhibition was the viewer who was not a consumer but a coproducer, alongside the artists and the curator. This publication, which comprises photographs, dates, time stamps, and the names of the visitors, is a record of the 178 unique exhibitions realized. Copublished with Kunsthalle Wien Contributors Luca Lo Pinto, Vanessa Joan Müller, Mathieu Copeland With artist contributions by Darren Bader, Jason Dodge, Phanos Kyriacou, Adriana Lara, Jonathan Monk, Marlie Mul, Amalia Pica, Martin Soto Climent, Lina Viste Grønli
Download or read book The Case for Marriage written by Linda Waite and published by Crown. This book was released on 2002-03-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for children when parents are unhappy, and that marriage is essentially a private choice, not a public institution. Waite and Gallagher flatly contradict these assumptions, arguing instead that by a broad range of indices, marriage is actually better for you than being single or divorced– physically, materially, and spiritually. They contend that married people live longer, have better health, earn more money, accumulate more wealth, feel more fulfillment in their lives, enjoy more satisfying sexual relationships, and have happier and more successful children than those who remain single, cohabit, or get divorced. The Case for Marriage combines clearheaded analysis, penetrating cultural criticism, and practical advice for strengthening the institution of marriage, and provides clear, essential guidelines for reestablishing marriage as the foundation for a healthy and happy society. “A compelling defense of a sacred union. The Case for Marriage is well written and well argued, empirically rigorous and learned, practical and commonsensical.” -- William J. Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues “Makes the absolutely critical point that marriage has been misrepresented and misunderstood.” -- The Wall Street Journal www.broadwaybooks.com
Download or read book Monica Haller Riley and His Story written by and published by . This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, Monica Haller's acclaimed Riley and His Story presents the daily life of the Iraq war, as lived and photographed by Riley Sharbonno. Haller and Sharbonno met in college before the latter was deployed, serving as an army nurse at Abu Ghraib prison from 2004 to 2005. Sharbonno used his camera as an almost prosthetic device to record the events his memory suppressed; on other occasions he used the camera to "store" overwhelming experiences with the aim of processing them later. Many of these images are indeed overwhelming: "These aren't the photos we're likely to find in grandma's photo album 50 years from now," he rightly observes. The photo pages in this book are variously sized, intersecting and overlapping to mimic the unstable nature of such memories, conveying the blurry jumble of amnesia and trauma. It is an invitation to all--veterans, family and friends--to face the realities of war.

Download or read book Barrag n a Spiritual Master written by Robert Duncan and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Duncan was introduced to photography as a child. His interest began to grow while he was a student at Northwestern University. Later, he fit the pursuit around the edges of his travels for pleasure and for Duncan Aviation business. With the additional time retirement has offered, Robert's enthusiasm has mushroomed. He has amassed over 100,000 images. Robert's interest in photography parallels and, in fact, is integral to his passion for collecting art. He loves the discovery of a visual surprise and is compelled to acquire it. He photographs intuitively, yet, a perusal of his images shows that he responds to unusual plays of light, whether shadows, surface washes, reflections or atmospheric ambience. It is no wonder, then, that the opportunity to tour several Mexico City sites designed by Pritzker Prize winner, Luis Barragán, was like Christmas morning for the Nebraskan. This book was an outcome of that experience. Robert took the images at Cuadra San Cristóbal, an equestrian estate Barragán designed for a friend and fellow horseman, and at Casa Gilardi, a home conceived as a bachelor pad for young partners in an advertising agency. The 20th century architect's projects are quiet and contemplative, yet they confound visual perceptions. Robert's images reflect his own aptitude for seeing and building on Barragán's compositional conundrums.Artist Merrill Peterson recognized Robert's adroitness as soon as he looked at the Barragán photos and collaborated with Robert on the book. They are images of beautiful sites, but they are also studies of crisp geometric shapes, pitch-perfect linear compositions, washes of blindingly radiant light, rhyming forms and transcendent color. These images tickle our longing for a balance of order and spontaneity, human connection and solitude, seriousness and quirkiness, simplicity and complexity, dynamism and stillness. Robert wishes for these images to be a gift to those who delight in the pursuit of interminable visual possibilities.
Download or read book Tuesday Or September Or the End written by Hannah Black and published by Capricious Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This intimate and funny and abstract fiction uses fable, and unreality, to flood a reader with the real, to remind her what is at stake." -Rachel Kushner During a residency on Fire Island, artist and writer Hannah Black decided to tackle a highly daunting project: the 2020 novel. The result of her efforts, Tuesday of September or the End, is a slim, playful work of speculative fiction. Written in the aftermath of the early months of the pandemic and the uprisings of summer 2020, the novel explores the ruptures of the year with a satirical sci-fi bent. Black chronicles the lives of two characters, Bird and Dog, as they contend with rapidly changing political possibilities during the pandemic while the run of Moley Salamanders (i.e. Bernie Sanders) concludes and aliens finally invade earth. Through a galvanic vision of how the riots of 2020 might have turned revolutionary, Black offers a meditation on collective life. This crucial novel invites readers to consider who we are--and, by extension, what we are here for--when our normal referents are muted, deleted and upended. Hannah Black (born 1981) is a New York-based visual artist, critic and writer from Manchester, England. Her work spans video, text and performance and draws from communist, feminist and Afro-pessimist theory. She is the author of Life (2017, with Juliana Huxtable) and Dark Pool Party (2016). Black is represented by the gallery Arcadia Missa in London and Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin.
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 Cally Spooner written by Roos Gortzak and published by Hatje Cantz. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tear, engineered in 1856 by Rodolphe-the adulterous lover of Flaubert's Madame Bovary-is dripped onto a breakup letter and sent to the heroine via messenger. "There ought to have been some tears on this; but I can't cry; it isn't my fault," he says, but not to her. Then, having filled a drinking glass with water, Rodolphe dips his finger and lets a big drop fall onto the paper, leaving a pale stain on the ink. Cally Spooner's monograph documents a large eco-system of 40+ works which takes the incident of this false tear as a lynch pin, to reflect on the outsourcing, hijacking, erosion, decay, or destruction of personal, subjective utterance, in a 21st-century hyper connected and financialized climate. For the monograph, Spooner describes each work in an active, present-tense voice, intercut with diagrams, drawings, culled, and censored correspondence. New essays bring into focus central themes that play out in Spooner's transdisciplinary performance work.
Download or read book Deterioration They Said written by Raphael Gygax and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American artists Cory Arcangel, Jessica Ciocci & Jacob Ciocci / Paper Rad, Shana Moulton, and Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch, have been brought together in this publication. In their works the artists create an overwhelming, colour-charged aesthetic with an excessive density of content, reacting to the consumer-oriented condition of Western society. In their image-spaces the four collaborations address a culture of excess, constructing their critique via a form of appropriation, which simultaneously releases a veritable deluge of images. In the tradition of experimental film and Scatter art they probe potential unconventional narrative patterns and test for the disintegration of stereotypes. As a result, the video works are often shown in sculptural settings, in which fragments of pop culture and handcrafted forms are amalgamated into an multimedia Gesamtkunstwerk. Published with the migros museum für gegenwartskunst, Zurich.
