Download or read book Martin Boyce written by Dominic Molon and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known for his powerful sculptures and installations, Scottish artist Martin Boyce reconfigures everyday elements into alternate realities. Garbage cans are lopsided, trees consist of straight lines, and air-vent grilles become objets d'art. Heavily influenced by modernism, Boyce often incorporates well-known objects by mid-twentieth-century designers into his work, such as the Eames Storage Unit or the four concrete trees by Joel and Jan Martel for a 1925 garden. By reinventing or deconstructing them for his installations, Boyce critically reflects on the legacy of modernist design. When Now is Night is the most significant monograph on the artist—who won Britain's coveted Turner Prize in 2011—in a decade, providing an overview of his career with an emphasis on work from recent years. While his practice is frequently considered in relationship to modernism and the specific precedents he draws on, this book places a greater emphasis on the narratives he develops within individual works and the process involved in creating them. This shift in focus will encourage new insights into Boyce's work, making it an invaluable resource for admirers and scholars alike.

Download or read book Martin Boyce written by Martin Boyce and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2009 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Boyce represents Scotland at the 2009 Venice Biennale. This catalogue accompanies Martin Boyce's exhibitions at Westfaelischer Kunstverein, Frac des Pays de la Loire and Ikon Gallery in 2008. Martin Boyce is interested in urban landscape, transforming galleries with groups of works which poetically recall conventional public areas; for example, the playground or the pedestrian subway. The artist is one of the most original of the Scottish artists who came to international prominence during the 1990s. He works at the interface of design, architecture, and the social environment. For this major exhibition, the artist creates 'a place out of time'. Individual works comprising sculptural forms are reminiscent nostalgically of the phone booth, the streetlamp and the recliner. Ikon Gallery presented a series of new works made especially for their gallery spaces alongside recent pieces never before seen in the UK. Estranged from their original place and purpose, Boyce's subjects draw on the visual language and fabrication of iconic Modernist designs to form an eerie dreamlike landscape. We are encouraged to consider alternative lives for them, away from their natural habitats. This is a joint publication between Ikon Gallery, Frac des Pays de la Loire, Westfalischer Kunstverein and produced by JRP Ringier. English text.

Download or read book Losing Streak written by James Boyce and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A jaw-dropping account of how one company came to own every poker machine in the state of Tasmania – and the cost to democracy, the public purse and problem gamblers and their families. The story begins with the toppling of a premier, and ends with David Walsh, the man behind MONA, taking an eccentric stand against pokie machines and the political status quo. It is a story of broken politics and back-room deals. It shows how giving one company the licence to all the poker machines in Tasmania has led to several hundred million dollars of profits (mainly from problem gamblers) being diverted from public use, through a series of questionable and poorly understood deals. Losing Streak is a meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has implications for pokies reform throughout Australia.
Download or read book On the Trail of Capital Flight from Africa written by Léonce Ndikumana and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Trail of Capital Flight from Africa investigates the dynamics of capital flight from Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, and South Africa, countries that have witnessed large-scale illicit financial outflows in recent decades. Quantitative, qualitative, and institutional analysis for each country is used to examine the modus operandi of capital flight; that is, the 'who', 'how', and 'where' dimensions of the phenomenon. 'Who' refers to major domestic and foreign players; 'how' refers to mechanisms of capital acquisition, transfer, and concealment; and 'where' refers to the destinations of capital flight and the transactions involved. The evidence reveals a complex network of actors and enablers involved in orchestrating and facilitating capital flight and the accumulation of private wealth in offshore secrecy jurisdictions. This underscores the reality that capital flight is a global phenomenon, and that measures to curtail it are a shared responsibility for Africa and the global community. Addressing the problem of capital flight and related issues such as trade misinvoicing, money laundering, tax evasion, and theft of public assets by political and economic elites will require national and global efforts with a high level of coordination.
Download or read book Born Bad written by James Boyce and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the doctrine of original sin, all humans are born bad and only God’s grace can bring salvation. James Boyce shows how these ideas have shaped the Western view of human nature, and how the belief that we are all innately sinful retains a firm grip on Western consciousness and culture – even in the writings of avowed atheists such as Marx and Freud. Born Bad traces a fascinating journey from Adam and Eve all the way to Adam Smith and Richard Dawkins in this sweeping story of a controversial idea and its remarkable influence.

It would be the night when empowered members of the LGBTQ+ community--in and around the Stonewall Inn--began to protest and demand their equal rights as citizens of the United States. Movingly narrated by the Stonewall Inn itself, and featuring stirring and dynamic illustrations, Stonewall: A Building. An Uprising. A Revolution is an essential and empowering civil rights story that every child deserves to hear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How are you involved in the art world? Are you related to any art scene? What would be the most productive place to present your work? What kind of curators do you like to work with and why? What does the art market mean for your work? In your opinion, what are centers for contemporary art for? What would you like to see them presenting?" "These are seven simple and open questions on different aspects of today's art world that were asked to every artist involved in Witte de With's program in 2006 and 2007. The resulting publication reflects on some of the topics touched upon in the program of the past two years - for example, in group shows such as Street: behind the cliche - looking at the best place for art, the role of the art institution and its curators, and the influence of "populist" forces on different forms of art production. The answers included here serve as time-documents, providing a "tour d'horizon" of artists' opinions, concerns and ambitions today, setting out a blueprint for the future role of the art institution and of its related actors (the artist, curator, critic, gallerist)."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: It is 741. After conquering a continent for the Merovingian kings, only one thing stands between Charles Martel and the throne - he's dying. Charles cobbles together a plan to divide the kingdom among his three sons, betroth his daughter to a Lombard prince, and keep the Church unified behind them through his friend Bishop Boniface. Despite his best efforts, the only thing to reign after Charles's death is chaos. His daughter has no intention of marrying anyone, let alone a Lombard prince. His two eldest sons question the rights of their younger pagan stepbrother, and the Church demands a steep price for their support. Son battles son, Christianity battles paganism, and Charles's daughter flees his court for an enemy's love. Based on a true story, Anvil of God is a whirlwind of love, honor, sacrifice, and betrayal that follows a bereaved family's relentless quest for power and destiny.
