Download or read book Bodies That Still Matter written by Annemie Halsema and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the appearance of her early-career bestseller Gender Trouble in 1990, American philosopher Judith Butler is one of the most influential (and at times controversial) thinkers in academia. Her work addresses numerous socially pertinent topics such as gender normativity, political speech, media representations of war, and the democratic power of assembling bodies. The volume Bodies That Still Matter: Resonances of the Work of Judith Butler brings together essays from scholars across academic disciplines who apply, reflect on, and further Butler's ideas to their own research. It includes a new essay by Butler herself, from which it takes its title. Organized around four key themes in Butler's scholarship - performativity, speech, precarity, and assembly - the volume offers an excellent introduction to the contemporary relevance of Butler's thinking, a multi-perspectival approach to key topics of contemporary critical theory, and a testimony to the vibrant interdisciplinary discourses characterizing much of today's humanities' research.

Book excerpt: Seitdem Santiago Sierra Ende der 1980er Jahre in Hamburg studiert hat, eilt ihm der Ruf des Skandalösen voraus. Dabei macht Santiago Sierra mit seinen Arbeiten doch nur die strukturellen Mächte und deren Gewaltausübung sichtbar. Weil er in diese Strukturen interveniert, kann er aufzeigen, wie Ausbeutung und Marginalisierung funktionieren. Dabei bildet Santiago Sierra die Realität nicht einfach nur ab, sondern macht sie erfahrbar, am eigenen Leib spürbar - wie soll man es sonst verstehen, wenn er 2003 den spanischen Pavillon der 50. Biennale in Venedig durch eine Mauer versperren lässt, ein Sicherheitsdienst in seinem Auftrag den Hintereingang bewacht und nur diejenigen Besucher eingelassen werden, die spanische Ausweispapiere vorlegen können? 0Exhibition: Kunsthalle Tübingen, Germany (23.03.-16.06.2013) / Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Sammlung Falckenberg, Germany (07.09.2013-12.01.2014). 0.
Download or read book House in mud written by Santiago Sierra and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Venice Biennale 2003, Sierra had the Spanish pavilion walled in and guarded by security personnel, who only allowed Spanish citizens with a valid passport to enter. Since then, Sierra has been one of the most frequently discussed contemporary artists in the world. His most recent project; the installation `House in mud' for the Kestnergessellschaft, links the institutions history with the history of the city of Hanover. Using the origins of Lake Masch - which was created in the middle of the city as part of a government employment program in the 1930's - Sierra addresses the question of what work is really worth, a recurring theme in his work which is especially pertinent today.
Download or read book Materiality and Architecture written by Sandra Loschke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once regarded a secondary consideration, in recent years, materiality has emerged as a powerful concept in architectural discourse and practice. Prompted in part by developments in digital fabrication and digital science, the impact of materiality on design and practice is being widely reassessed and reimagined. Materiality and Architecture extends architectural thinking beyond the confines of current design literatures to explore conceptions of materiality across the field of architecture. Fourteen international contributors use elucidate the problems and possibilities of materiality-based approaches in architecture from interdisciplinary perspectives. The book includes contributions from the professions of architecture, art, architectural history, theory and philosophy, including essays from Gernot Böhme, Jonathan Hill and Philip Ursprung. Important 'immaterial' aspects such as presentation, agency, ecology and concept are examined, deepening our understanding of materiality’s role in architectural processes, the production of cultural identities, the pursuit of political agendas, and the staging of everyday environments and atmospheres. In-depth illustrated case studies examine works by Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, and Lacaton & Vassal, interspersed with visual essays and interviews with architects such as MVRDV providing a direct connection to practice. Materiality and Architecture is an important read for researchers and students with an interest in architectural theory and related fields such as art, art history, or visual and cultural studies.

Download or read book The Unmaking of Home in Contemporary Art written by Claudette Lauzon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where the notion of home is more traumatizing than it is comforting, artists are using this literal and figurative space to reframe human responses to trauma. Building on the scholarship of key art historians and theorists such as Judith Butler and Mieke Bal, Claudette Lauzon embarks upon a transnational analysis of contemporary artists who challenge the assumption that ‘home’ is a stable site of belonging. Lauzon’s boundary-breaking discussion of artists including Krzysztof Wodiczko, Sanitago Sierra, Doris Salcedo, and Yto Barrada posits that contemporary art offers a unique set of responses to questions of home and belonging in an increasingly unwelcoming world. From the legacies of Colombia’s ‘dirty war’ to migrant North African workers crossing the Mediterranean, The Unmaking of Home in Contemporary Art bears witness to the suffering of others whose overriding notion of home reveals the universality of human vulnerability and the limits of empathy.

Book excerpt: ‘a game-changer, a must-read for scholars, students and artists alike’ – Tom Finkelpearl At a time when art world critics and curators heavily debate the social, and when community organizers and civic activists are reconsidering the role of aesthetics in social reform, this book makes explicit some of the contradictions and competing stakes of contemporary experimental art-making. Social Works is an interdisciplinary approach to the forms, goals and histories of innovative social practice in both contemporary performance and visual art. Shannon Jackson uses a range of case studies and contemporary methodologies to mediate between the fields of visual and performance studies. The result is a brilliant analysis that not only incorporates current political and aesthetic discourses but also provides a practical understanding of social practice.
