Download or read book Rodney Graham written by Alessandro Vincentelli and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2017 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the artist remains a central subject of investigation for Rodney Graham, known for straddling many areas simultaneously--painter, photographer, writer, philosopher, actor, psychologist, scientist, and musician.This new monograph gathers together works made between 1994 and 2017, in particular his photographic lightboxes and his musical production.Contradicting the title, That's Not Me the lightbox series focuses on the use of the self-portrait. Graham shows himself starring in various fictional roles (artist, musician, actor, lighthouse keeper, paddler, reader) at different times.According to curator Alessandro Vincentelli, Graham likes to look back at history and repeat it through his work, by 'stirring up art history with multiple and varied cultural references, so that the signals are subtly altered for the viewer.'Through his visual production, Rodney Graham questions the fundamental perception of the image and invites the public to participate in shaping its meaning.This title also highlights Graham's musical works. In his essay Robert Linsley retraces Graham's career as a musician and observes the connections that can be made between some of the songs and Graham's visual production.Published with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, in association with IMMA, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; and on the occasion Rodney Graham's exhibition, That's Not Me at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead (17 March - 11 June 2017).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixty-five million years ago the Era of the Dinosaurs ended. Their extinction wasn't caused by their exploitation of natural resources. It wasn't caused because dinosaurs polluted the air with the gas of corn-fed cows or poisoned the water with nitrogen and phosphorous-rich poultry and hog effluent. They didn't plant crops in monocultures for economic gain, causing the loss of soil fertility and biodiversity. And they were certainly not aiding and abetting unsustainable food systems. No, they were hit by a rock. We all know that the sky is falling, Chicken Little. Our current agricultural models exploit natural resources and has led to an extinction crisis, a farm crisis, a food crisis, a health crisis, an economic crisis, a biodiversity crisis, and a pollution crisis—all of which ultimately culminates into one big human crisis. Our agricultural models aren't sustainable. A freight train is coming our way, and it's loaded with genetically modified corn, soy, and wheat. The question is, Can we slow this freight train or stop it altogether? In Eat Paleo—Save The World, Pendergrass outlines a paleo prescription for the planet. While researching standards for the eco-label Paleo Approved, she made some discoveries. By embracing various facets of the Paleolithic Era, people could not only drastically improve their health, but they could also help save the world.

Download or read book Aesthetische Paranoia written by Jürgen Klauke and published by Hatje Cantz. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photo and media artist Jürgen Klauke (*1943) is known for his critical examination of socially standardized gender identities and patterns of behavior. His most recent work describes the paranoid perception as well as the paranoid structure of today's world. He is the first to so strikingly transpose the symptoms of this situation into an aesthetic. Klauke's photographs reflect the fundamental conditions of a fearful existence in scenes that range from the austerely minimalist to the excessive and occasionally surreal. He employs everyday materials as tools to create his scenes, succeeding in shaping a concentrated view of the absurdity of life. This publication documents groups of works the artist produced in past years, such as Ästhetische Paranoia (Aesthetic Paranoia) and Wackelkontakt (Loose Connection), as well as the Schlachtfelder (Battlefields) series, published here for the first time.

Download or read book A Century of Ceramics in the United States 1878 1978 written by Garth Clark and published by New York : E. P. Dutton. This book was released on 1979 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Inside Cover: The history of American ceramics from the celebration of the Centennial (1876) to the present day is rich, varied, and relatively undocumented. It is a period studded with men and women of genius, uncompromising ethical standards, and engaging eccentricity. The purpose of the exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York, and this book based on it is to present the history of American ceramics, its aesthetic and its influence, and so provide a perspective. Comprised of over 400 pieces, the majority of which are illustrated in this book, the exhibition and book span one hundred years of creative endeavor. In the decade-by-decade presentation, a variety of styles, philosophies, and techniques of ceramic artists is shown in this first study focusing on the role of ceramics in the modern, decorative, and fine arts of the United States. The journey of self-discovery and purpose that is surveyed here is an extraordinary one. It takes the ceramic medium in the United States from an imitative, exploratory stance in the late nineteenth century to a vanguardist role in the 1950s and beyond. The achievement is twofold. On the one hand, the American ceramists had established a beachhead for a traditional craft medium in the fine arts, redefining the vessel aesthetic and presenting ceramic sculpture as an intimate and meaningful alternative to the cerebral quality of postwar metal sculpture. More broadly, however, it reflects the triumph of a nation that has been able to achieve a cultural voice and identity through the arts in the brief space of one hundred years.

Download or read book The Last Picture Show written by Douglas Fogle and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography has become an increasingly pervasive medium of choice in contemporary art practice and is even employed at times by artists who do not necessarily consider themselves to be photographers. How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s in the work of artists such as Bernd & Hilla Becher, Ed Ruscha and Bruce Nauman, to its rise to art-world prominence in the work of the artists of the late 70s and early 80s including Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman. Intended as a major genealogy of the rise of a still-powerful and evolving photographic practice by artists, the checklist will include a wide array of works examining a range of issues: performativity and photographic practice; portraiture and cultural identity; the formal and social architectonics of the built environment; societal and individual interventions in the landscape; photography's relationship to sculpture and painting; the visual mediation of meaning in popular culture; and the poetic and conceptual investigation of visual non-sequiturs, disjunctions and humorous absurdities. Bringing together a newly commissioned body of scholarship with reprints of important historical texts, The Last Picture Show seeks to define the legacy that has produced a rich body of photographic practice in the art world today.

Download or read book The Lasting World written by Rudolf Arnheim and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dramatic traveling exhibit of 15 works, The Lasting World: SIMON DINNERSTEIN and The Fulbright Triptych, is the theme of this new publication. The title, The Lasting World, comes from an essay on Simon Dinnerstein by the noted art theorist and psychologist, Rudolf Arnheim. Granted a Fulbright Fellowship in 1970-1971, Dinnerstein traveled to Germany where he began working on The Fulbright Triptych, his best known work. The triptych, which measures 14 feet in width, has been the subject of much critical response, including Roberta Smith and John Russell, both senior art critics of The New York Times: "This little-known masterpiece of 1970s realism was begun by the young Simon Dinnerstein during a Fulbright Fellowship in Germany and completed in his hometown, Brooklyn, three years later. Incorporating carefully rendered art postcards, children's drawings and personal memorabilia; a formidable worktable laid out with printmaking tools and outdoor views; and the artist and his family, it synthesizes portrait, still life, interior and landscape and rummages through visual culture while sampling a dazzling range of textures and representational styles. It should be seen by anyone interested in the history of recent art and its oversights."Roberta Smith, The New York Times, August 11, 2011: "Neither scale nor perseverance has anything to do with success in art, and Mr. Dinnerstein's triptych could be just one more painstaking failure. But it succeeds as an echo chamber, as a scrupulous representation of a suburb in the sticks, as a portrait of young people who are trying to make an honorable go of life and as inventory of the kind of things that in 1975 give such people a sense of their own identity. It deserves to go to a museum."John Russell, The New York Times, February 5, 1975. The publication includes an interview with noted art historian Lynn F. Jacobs on the triptych form and essays by Alex Barker, Director of the Art Museum at the University of Missouri and Tom Healy, who served three terms as Chairman of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, which oversees the worldwide Fulbright Program.

Download or read book Architecture Astrology written by Dan Graham and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tiré du site Internet de la Buchhandlung Walther König: "Dan Graham and Jessica Russell's playful yet thorough "Architecture/Astrology" considers some of the most important and innovative figures in the world of architecture from an angle few would expect: their star signs. Originally published as a column for Domus magazine, Graham and Russell's book integrates critical analysis with astrology and mythology to offer alternative perspectives on the work and personalities of artist/architects including Frank Gehry (a restless, dreamy Pisces), Eero Saarinen (a dynamic, dramatic Leo) and Le Corbusier (a logical, balanced Libra). With accompanying illustrations by Mieko Meguro, Architecture/Astrology resembles the best sort of architect, one who is at once rigorous and whimsical, with his feet on the ground and his head in the clouds."

Book excerpt: In Laura Letinsky: Time's Assignation the Polaroid--now an anachronistic format, a leftover of photographic history--is conjoined with the photographer's trademark subject matter: the remains of meals and appetites never entirely sated. Chicago-based photographer Laura Letinsky (born 1962) used Polaroid Type 55 film as part of her working process until the film was discontinued in 2008, exploring focus, composition, exposure and light in black-and-white instant photographs as she worked up to the larger-scale color works for which she is best known. Like sketches, the photographs in this volume--small, slow and raw--reveal a process of asking. This way or that? More or less? Now or then? A Polaroid is a fugitive thing, beautiful in its decomposition, subject to change as much as the still life compositions of ripe fruits and nibbled foods that Letinsky arranges. Time's Assignation collects Polaroids taken by the photographer in her studio between 1997 and 2008, now stabilized, their high-key tones slipping into white veils and darker tones metallized in hues of taupe, gold and gunmetal gray. These photographs offer a record of Letinsky's working process, but are a compelling body of photographic work in their own right, exploring time's unrelenting progression in their subject matter and materiality.
