Book excerpt: Published on the occasion of his solo exhibition at the Manoir de la Ville de Martigny (February - May 2018), this publication is the first monograph on Swiss painter Sylvain Croci-Torti.Organized around an extensive photographic documentation of his Martigny show, but encompassing the last six years of his practice, the book offers an insight into the artist's idiosyncratic approach to contemporary painting.Informed by the Swiss tradition of geometric abstraction and monochrome - from Olivier Mosset, John M Armleder, Christian Floquet to Francis Baudevin, Philippe Decrauzat, and Stephane Dafflon (as well as by a decisive interest in the relationships between painting and architecture, i.e. how we perceive and experience two-dimensional works in three-dimensional environments) -- Croci-Torti is building a cogent body of works dealing with and renewing the eternal parameters of painting--colours, forms, proportions, perspectives, and structures.Edited by Manoir de la Ville de Martigny curator Anne Jean-Richard Largey, this publication brings together essays by curator Samuel Gross, MAMCO Geneva Chief Curator Julien Fronsacq, American artist Blair Thurman, as well as a conversation with the artist.Born in 1984 in Monthey, Sylvain Croci-Torti lives and works between Lausanne and Martigny. He graduated from ECAL in 2013.Published with the Manoir de la Ville de Martigny.

Book excerpt: Work Hard, the curatorial debut of celebrated Swiss artist Valentin Carron (born 1977), presents a creative discourse between a surprising group of artists: Edmond Bille, Vittorio Brodmann, Marguerite Burnat-Provins, Luciano Castelli, Claudia Comte, Sylvain Croci-Torti, Latifa Echakhch, Frédéric Gabioud, Mathis Gasser, Fabrice Gygi, Andreas Hochuli, Trix and Robert Haussmann, David Hominal, Bernhard Luginbühl, Urs Lüthi, Fabian Marti, Méret Oppenheim, Simon Paccaud, Mai-Thu Perret, Ugo Rondinone, Denis Savary, Daniel Spoerri and Jean Tinguely. In this book Carron suggests an imaginary time and place in art history while conjuring mythologies of labor and exploring the very personal approach that he took to understanding the narrative of national identity. Essays by Mai-Thu Perret and Balthazar Lovay plus an annotated walkthrough by Carron evoke the vernacular poetry of quirky Swissness.
Download or read book Color Library written by Emily King and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A collectible volume for graphic designers and creative entrepreneurs, this book is dedicated to "Color Library," one of the most discussed projects in the field of graphic design of the last few years. An investigation into color reproduction and printing, "Color Library" is a tool for artists, designers, photographers, and printers. It aims to widen the possibilities of color printing, and reflects on our contemporary perception of color as it is shaped by the recent developments in print production. Primarily conceived as a digital platform, "Color Library" offers a variety of colorimetric profiles automatically applicable to images, based on color combinations generated according to their perceptual, technical, and conceptual relevance. It not only offers an alternative to standard color printing, but also affirms a distinctive vision of how to print colors and process them" (Verlagshomepage).

Download or read book Speed written by Heike-Karin Föll and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Art. Heike-Karin Föll's foundational collection of works on paper refuses, in its totality, to be pinned down. SPEED exists in a sequence of autonomy, embracing simultaneity and resisting typical chronology or logic. A resource library for Foll's more well known painted works, each page also stands on its own. The "writing" and "rewriting" of these pages is a rejection by the artist to rest on what has already been accomplished, and insists on constantly renewing modes of expression amidst the routine and expected. SPEED takes the form of visual index, a micro structure of narrative, through the space of the page. Blank spaces (components of in-betweens and not-yets), textual elements, found images, and abstract icons are assembled from a daily stream of computational information and graphics to bring us into the temporal now. The pages slip from medium to medium, relying on short forms and small units as the bases for recontextualisation and variation. Montez Press is honoured to be able to offer an opening for these vast and untamable works by Heike-Karin Föll.

Download or read book The Artist as Curator written by Elena Filipovic and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an anthology of essays that first appeared in The Artist as Curator, a series that occupied eleven issues of Mousse from no. 41 (December 2013/January 2014) to no. 51 (December 2015/January 2016). It set out to examine what was then a profoundly influential but still under-studied phenomenon, a history that had yet to be written: the fundamental role artists have played as curators. Taking that ontologically ambiguous thing we call "the exhibition" as a critical medium, artists have often radically rethought conventional forms of exhibition making. This anthology surveys seminal examples of such exhibitions from the postwar to the present, including rare documents and illustrations. It includes an introduction and the twenty essays that first appeared in Mousse, a newly commissioned afterword by Hans Ulrich Obrist, and two additional essays that appear here for the first time."
Download or read book Design in Conservative Times written by Joanette Van Der Veer and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design in Conservative Times tackles conservatism in and around design, challenging both designer and user to actively engage with, and reflect upon their positions within our current, politically charged landscape. The focal point of this reflection at large ranges from hands-on issues within specific practices, to the broader, more fundamental motivations that fuel them. Within this book, Onomatopee wishes to explore the conservative currents and cadence in and around design(ed) culture. By inviting both graphic design and fashion design professionals to comment, reflect, promote, critique, provoke and/or contemplate on conservative culture in relation to their own visions, design practice and designed goods, we wish to lay bare the intricacies and dynamics of design(er) in society today. As a result, issues of feminism, decolonisation, queerness, engagement, ecology, production and preservation in relation to conservatism today come to the forefront of conversation.

Download or read book Also space from Hot to Something Else written by Reinaart Vanhoe and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although contemporary art in Indonesia is completely integrated within the global art discourse, the fundamental context of Indonesian artists is in fact quite different from that of the contemporary Western artistic practicein which notions of individuality and autonomy play a key role. Indonesian initiatives tend to include more of an awareness of local networks, and a contextual (as opposed to purely conceptual) way of thinking and acting. This softcover book, Also-Space, From Hot to Something Else, focuses mainly on a Jakarta-based artists initiative called ruangrupa, andto a lesser degreeon a number of other Indonesian artists and initiatives, as case studies of how Indonesian artists organize and manifest themselves individually and collectively. Reinaart Vanhoe (b. 1972, Belgium) lives in both Rotterdam (Holland) and Jakarta (Indonesia); his practice consists of research-based activities that Vanhoe translates into books, exhibitions,
