Download or read book The Figure of Knowledge written by Sebastiaan Loosen and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism. Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of knowledge has become important in the recent history of architectural theory and how the resulting figure of knowledge sets the conditions for the actual arguments made. The contributions in this volume focus on institutional, geographical, rhetorical, and other conditioning factors. They thus screen the unspoken rules of engagement that postwar architectural theory ascribed to.

Book excerpt: L'arcipelago di St Kilda è la parte più remota delle isole britanniche, nelle Ebridi Esterne, Scozia. Nel 1930 gli ultimi abitanti abbandonarono l'isola: restano muri di pietra, case, sentieri segnati dal lavoro, un'intera topografia perde il suo disegno, ciò che si possedeva si disperde, ciò che si sperava non accade. L'artista Claudia Losi riesce ad arrivare a St Kilda nel 2012. In che misura un luogo è descritto dalla geologia, dalla geografia, dalla storia, e in che misura è invece immaginato? Cosa vuol dire pensare un luogo ancora prima di esserci stati fisicamente? Quante descrizioni vanno ad abitare la nostra coscienza? Quali fra loro governano le parole e le immagini che decidiamo di restituire al mondo? "How do I imagine being there?"cerca di rispondere a queste domande attraverso una riflessione corale: uno scrittore, un semiologo e uno storico del cinema, un geografo, un biologo e un naturalista, un neuroscienziato, uno psichiatra e un artista hanno prestato a Losi la propria voce per descrivere, attraverso St Kilda, un'idea di "arcipelago mondo". Completa il libro una serie di nuove tavole dell'artista.

Book excerpt: "This generously illustrated volume documents Sonfist's formidable body of work that continues to date. Featured are photographs and drawings that stand as independent works of art in their own right and also relate to the environmental landscapes for which he is best known. In addition to an informative interview by Robert Rosenblum and essays by a number of other art experts, the book also includes comments by the artist and quotes from a variety of sources that have inspired him. All these elements conjoin to reveal the fascinating story of this innovative artist who prefigured environmental art." -Inside back cover.
Download or read book Earthwards written by Gary Shapiro and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untimely death of Robert Smithson in 1973 at age 34 robbed postwar American art of an unusually creative practitioner and thinker. Smithson's pioneering earthworks and installations of the 1960s and '70s anticipated concerns with environmentalism and site-specific artistic production. Gary Shapiro's insightful study of Smithson's career is the first book to address the full range of the artist's dazzling virtuosity.
Download or read book The Curatorial written by Jean-Paul Martinon and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop curating! And think what curating is all about. This book starts from this simple premise: thinking the activity of curating. To do that, it distinguishes between 'curating' and 'the curatorial'. If 'curating' is a gamut of professional practices for setting up exhibitions, then 'the curatorial' explores what takes place on the stage set up, both intentionally and unintentionally, by the curator. It therefore refers not to the staging of an event, but to the event of knowledge itself. In order to start thinking about curating, this book takes a new approach to the topic. Instead of relying on conventional art historical narratives (for example, identifying the moments when artistic and curatorial practices merged or when the global curator-author was first identified), this book puts forward a multiplicity of perspectives that go from the anecdotal to the theoretical and from the personal to the philosophical. These perspectives allow for a fresh reflection on curating, one in which, suddenly, curating becomes an activity that implicates us all (artists, curators, and viewers), not just as passive recipients, but as active members. As such, the Curatorial is a book without compromise: it asks us to think again, fight against sweeping art historical generalizations, the sedimentation of ideas and the draw of the sound bite. Curating will not stop, but at least with this book it can begin to allow itself to be challenged by some of the most complex and ethics-driven thought of our times.

Here is a fascinating history of the Solidarity movement.
Download or read book Robert Smithson written by Robert A. Sobieszek and published by Angeles County Museum of Art. This book was released on 1993 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There have been other exhibitions of his works, but Robert Smithson: Photo Works is the first to examine his use of the camera and to present the way he saw the unique landscapes in which he traveled and located his art. As demonstrated by curator of photography Robert A. Sobieszek, the photographic image was central to Smithson's art, whether in collages, montages, sequences, films, or alone. Smithson's final projects attempted a collaboration art and industry. He believed artists could assist in reclaiming such devastated areas as open-face strip mines. Our expanding presence in and impact upon the land may have become so pervasive that the boundaries between nature and culture have been all but obliterated. Now two decades after his death, Robert Smithson's lessons are all the more vital and significant."-from preface.
