Book excerpt: I?ve made these drawings in silence while the city was noisier than ever. I?ve been looking at my phone in silence while everyone in it is screaming. Well, sometimes the drawings were made with some people in the room, sometimes I spoke while making them. The phone just witnessed everything, lurking, listening and breathing, recording every action. I don?t think too much while taking these photographs. It?s a reaction to the environment, it?s about temperature, the climate, the water used to mix pigments, the humidity in the air, but also the pollution, the excavation in me, my data. It?s a way of working with the body. It?s about refusing a definition. Dance movements made by these hands, all the gestures they animate. The drawings are like an open wound, an autopsy. They reflect, just like the mirror on the phone.

Book excerpt: On the islands in the Strait of Hormuz, off the southern coast of Iran, there is a common belief that the winds can possess a person, bringing illness and disease. The existence of similar convictions in some African countries suggests that the cult may have been brought to Iran from southeast Africa through the Arab slave trade. This history is rarely spoken about but these winds and the traces they have left on the islands and their inhabitants are the touchstone for Hoda Afshar's Speak The Wind. Through her subtle and perceptive images of the extraordinary landscapes, the people and their rituals, Afshar's beautiful and complex book attempts to picture the wind and its psychic entanglements, to form a visible record of the invisible.

Download or read book The Parthenon Bomber written by Christos Chrissopoulos and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel at once metaphorical and iconoclastic, The Parthenon Bomber exposes the painful and maddening paradox of contemporary Greece. “Blow up the Acropolis” was the 1944 call to action by the surrealist circle the Harbingers of Chaos. Sixty years later, a young man obliges. The Parthenon has been destroyed, the city orphaned. Is it still Athens? All eyes are on the empty hill, now smoky and ashen. Cries of distress, indifference, and fanaticism fill the air. What were his reasons? How will he be punished for this unspeakable act of violence? What does it mean for Greece, now deprived of its greatest symbol? This provocative tale reveals the unique dilemma of a country still searching for an identity beyond its past as the birthplace of Western civilization.
Download or read book Manual for a Future Desert written by Ida Soulard and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desert and desertification are concepts with unstable, unfixed definitions that haunt current politics and aesthetics. Manual for a future desert proposes a full-spectrum scanning of the desert and its multiple implications across cultural, technological, political, and ecological concerns. Emerging from an artistic research program conducted in the Chihuahuan Desert on western Texas, this book is a time-space capsule; it collects routes, tools, and understandings on the desert in order to address and act upon issues that shape present and future realities. It is a manual for tapping into the exigency of the desert; it determines the coordinates for finding a future desert without deserting the future --
Download or read book Glial Cell Function Paperback written by Bernardo Castellano and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2003-09-15 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although knowledge of the development and differentiation of glial cells has significantly increased in recent years, there are still many questions unanswered. The first section of the book is devoted to this very active topic and includes contributions on Schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, astroglia and microglia. The second section of the book covers cellular interactions, the role they play on myelination and remyelination, how these interactions take place and the molecules involved. The third section of this volume focuses on the interactions of neurons with glial cells and their role in brain function. Neuron-glia cross talk appears to be fundamental for synaptic transmission and several chapters in this section address this topic. The topic of how glial cells react to brain injury and how they participate in neuroprotection and brain repair is covered in section four of this book. As our knowledge about the molecules involved in the regenerative properties of glia increases, new avenues are open for the use of genetically modified glia with therapeutic purposes. The final section of the book is devoted to therapeutic approaches to tumours, viral and prion infections. Gene therapy is a promising approach for the treatment of gliomas, one of the most devastating forms of cancer. A chapter on prion diseases and microglia addresses a question of tremendous actuality, since prion diseases in cows is at this moment the major veterinary problem in Europe and has created a considerable social alarm.

Download or read book Socialist Architecture written by Armin Linke and published by Jrp Ringier Kunstverlag Ag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socialist Architecture: The Vanishing Act is a collaborative project between photographer Armin Linke and architect Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss.Linke and Weiss have worked together since 2009 to visit and document selected examples of ex-Yugoslav Socialist architecture in order to document the state that they are in today. The Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia vanished during the early 1990s and the former Socialist states were 'Balkanized' into a number of emerging democracies.Each of these new states inherited monuments, buildings, landscapes, and infrastructure, which were constructed specifically for the former Socialist context and needs. After Yugoslavia vanished, most of the inherited architecture was left vacant and in a state of limbo between being repurposed and reused for new content, or simply being declared 'Socialist archeology', and continuing its life as ruins.By creating documentation, this project captures the indecision of five particular emerging democracies today: Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, and Serbia, and the distinct effects their irresolution creates spatially and visually on former Yugoslav architecture.Published with Codax Publishers, Zurich.English and German text.

Published within the context of the series Tranzit, edited by Vít Havránek, focusing on Central and Eastern European artists.English and Czech text.
Download or read book The Name of the Sun is Yellow written by Martijn in' t Veld and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dutch writer and artist Martijn in ‘t Veld seeks to give greater meaning to everyday reality in his work, scrutinising the poetic dimension of an image or experience and in turn bestowing a philosophical or literary significance on the embodiment of his themes and subjects. The Name of the Sun is Yellow is a collection of especially concise fictions that reflect the meditative process behind Martijn’s body of work. With simple clarity and liberal dashes of whimsical humour, his minimal narratives encourage the reader to think differently about all sorts of things, from shadows, clouds, and wind, to coffee, love, paint rollers, horoscopes, and special occasions.
