This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid and revealing account of thirty-five years of art and history revolves around the locus of the internationally renowned Anna Schwartz Gallery and its eponymous founder. Beginning in St Kilda with United Artists, visionary gallerist Anna Schwartz relocated to City Gallery at 45 Flinders Lane before Anna Schwartz Gallery found its current location at 185 Flinders Lane in 1993. Present Tense captures Schwartz, known for her steadfast promotion of the contemporary and the challenging, alongside the inimitable roster of artists that her gallery represents, and the key figures of Australian art and culture. The visually stunning volume combines historical vignettes, interviews, and hundreds of archival photographs and artworks. Told with wit and verve, it reveals a story that arcs from the journeys of immigrants who make up Australia's rich cultural life to the local artistic scenes of Melbourne to the global stage of the art world. Present Tense is an elegant cloth-bound volume featuring full-colour images throughout and a magnificent portrait of Anna Schwartz by artist Jenny Watson on the spine.

Download or read book Communion of Stranger Gestures A written by Angelica Mesiti and published by Schwartz. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angelica Mesiti- A Communion of Stranger Gesturesis the first significant publication dedicated to chronicling the practice of one of Australia's leading contemporary artists. The 224-page, full colour book has been designed by Formist to reflect the elegance and beauty of Mesiti's approach, with a subtle aesthetic nod to the ideas around communication and transmission that she often explores. Two major new texts have been commissioned to expand the field of writing around Mesiti's body of work, from leading Australian academic and writer Justin Clemens, and Director of Lafayette Anticipations, Paris, Franpois Quintin.A Communion of Stranger Gesturesalso includes an in-depth artist interview with Artspace Executive Director Alexie Glass-Kantor and Curator Talia Linz, along with nine original short texts on new and existing works over the last ten years. The publication ties in with Mesiti's first solo institutional presentation, Relay League, which was commissioned by Artspace earlier this year, curated by Glass-Kantor and Deputy Director Michelle Newton. The work takes as its departure point a Morse code message transmitted by the French Navy on 31 January 1997 to signal the imminent demise of this communication method. Mesiti interprets the dots and dashes of this final poetic phrase through music, choreography, non-verbal communication and sculpture. A Communion of Stranger Gesturesfeatures extensive imagery from the development and presentation of this exciting new work, which is touring to Art Sonje Center, Seoul, in addition to nine venues across Australia including Griffith University Art Gallery, Brisbane, and Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne. Recently shortlisted for the 9th edition of the prestigious Prix Meurice for contemporary art and with a residency at the Centre National de la Danse in Paris, Mesiti is increasingly establishing her reputation as one of Australia's most outstanding artists. Working with the mediums of video and installation, and incorporating music and performance, her practice expands ideas of collective behaviour, social dynamics and human subjectivity through non-verbal forms of language and communication, exchange and adapted methods of expression. Mesiti has exhibited extensively at institutions and biennales worldwide, including the 19th Biennale of Sydney, 2014; 13th Istanbul Biennial, 2nd Aichi Triennale, 5th Auckland Triennial and 11th Sharjah Biennale, 2013; and 1st Kochi-Mizuris Biennale, 2012; as well as at the Palais de Tokyo and Centre Pompidou, Paris; Barbican Centre, London; Jewish Museum, New York; Kunstmuseum, Bonn; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Museo Reina SofYa, Madrid; Tate Modern, London; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; and Para Site, Hong Kong.

Download or read book Focus and Field written by Daniel Von Sturmer and published by Schwartz. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focus & Field documents Daniel von Sturmer's show at Young Projects Gallery, Los Angeles, 2014. The show comprises a solo survey of recent works (2008 - 2013) accompanied by a new 9-screen video installation, Camera Ready Actions. The book features 'Notes from the Field', an essay by Tara McDowell, former curator of SFMoMA and the CCA Wattis Institute. Using video, photography, installation and architectural interventions, von Sturmer's work draws on more traditional mediums of painting and sculpture, making direct - and often humorous - references to still life, modernism & minimalism. Drawing connections between psychology and philosophy, von Sturmer interrogates the modes of perception at play when a viewer encounters an artwork, and how they are influenced by presentation and context.

Download or read book Keith Haring Jean Michel Basquiat written by Dieter Buchhart and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the personal and artistic connections between two icons of twentieth-century art Keith Haring (1958–1990) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) changed the art world of the 1980s through their idiosyncratic imagery, radical ideas, and complex sociopolitical commentary. Each artist invented a distinct visual language, employing signs, symbols, and words to convey strong messages in unconventional ways, and each left an indelible legacy that remains a force in contemporary visual and popular culture. Offering fascinating new insights into the artists’ work, Keith Haring | Jean-Michel Basquiat reveals the many intersections among Haring and Basquiat’s lives, ideas, and practices. This lavishly illustrated volume brings together more than two hundred images—works created in public spaces, paintings, sculptures, objects, works on paper, photographs, and more. These rich visuals are accompanied by essays and interviews from renowned scholars, artists, and art critics, exploring the reach and range of Haring and Basquiat’s influence. Keith Haring | Jean-Michel Basquiat provides a valuable look at two artistic peers and boundary breakers whose tragically short but prolific careers left their marks on the art world and beyond. Distributed for the National Gallery of Victoria in association with No More Rulers
