Download or read book Sadaharu Horio written by Atsuo Yamamoto and published by Asamer. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese artist Sadaharu Horio (b. Kobe, 1939) can be considered as the most important artist of his generation. He is a pioneer in modern Kobe performance art and his influence on Japan's contemporary art scene is significant. Horio's unbridled enthusiasm and boundless energy of challenging both audience and art institution is as much inspiring today. His work is not a matter of aestheticization, or of raising the banal to the level of art. Horio puts together about 100 exhibitions and performances each year, which reinforces the idea that the exhibition is not a special moment for him but rather an extension of his everyday living. continued. All is in the non-referential action, Atarimae-no-koto ('A Matter of Course'). This new publication is published by the Vervoordt Foundation and bears an essay by the curator Atsuo Yamamoto, an interview by the art critic Heinz-Norbert Jocks, a large survey with pictures of Horio's numerous performances and artworks from the 1960s till now, a complete biography and list of exhibitions and publications.
Download or read book Gutai written by Ming Tiampo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gutai is the first book in English to examine Japan’s best-known modern art movement, a circle of postwar artists whose avant-garde paintings, performances, and installations foreshadowed many key developments in American and European experimental art. Working with previously unpublished photographs and archival resources, Ming Tiampo considers Gutai’s pioneering transnational practice, spurred on by mid-century developments in mass media and travel that made the movement’s field of reception and influence global in scope. Using these lines of transmission to claim a place for Gutai among modernist art practices while tracing the impact of Japan on art in Europe and America, Tiampo demonstrates the fundamental transnationality of modernism. Ultimately, Tiampo offers a new conceptual model for writing a global history of art, making Gutai an important and original contribution to modern art history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractured Scenes is the first extensive academic account of music and sound art practices that fall outside of the scope of ‘mainstream music’ in Hong Kong.

Download or read book Maekawa II written by Boris Vervoordt and published by AsaMER. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Maekawa II' presents the work of Japanese artist Tsuyoshi Maekawa (1936) during the 1970s. In contrast to 'Maekawa I', which highlights his art of the previous decade made within the directives of the Gutai Art Association, 'Maekawa II' sheds light on the artist's unremitting efforts to overcome the sudden death of Gutai's leader Jiro Yoshihara in 1972. In this volume, the ceaseless innovations and impulses Maekawa instigated in his post-Gutai practice are brought to the fore. They show the profound exercises and manipulations of sewed and dyed burlap that he shaped into oftentimes highly tactile squares, lines, triangles, and a multitude of colourful yet sober wavy patterns; at times stretched over boxes or loosely draped over walls. The result is a singular exploration of fabric, texture, colour and the possibilities of the canvas at its roughest core.
