Book excerpt: Ugo Rondinone’s Sun paintings are reproduced at unprecedented scale in a display-worthy elephant folio, published in a limited edition of 345 copies. New York–based, Swiss-born conceptual artist Ugo Rondinone’s Sun paintings are among his most celebrated series. Begun in 1992 and spanning three decades, the Sun works reflect Rondinone’s inter-ests in nineteenth-century German Romanticism and Tibetan mysticism as vehicles to explore natural phenomena and interior states. Rondinone began the Sun series by directing his gaze inward (a coun-terpoint to his contemporaneous plein air works), translating his emotional state to circular bands of watercolor on paper. To create distance between these diaristic studies and the viewer, Rondinone then altered the media and scale: expanding the Suns to more than seven feet in diameter and exchanging tremulous watercolor for seamless airbrush. Main-taining a consistent form and naming strategy—the German date of the work—Rondinone cycled through more than 370 color combinations, ranging from strong contrasts to barely perceptible shifts. Sometimes referred to as mandala works, the Sun paintings fill the viewer’s field of vision with pulsing color. At 19 by 22 inches, this elephant folio creates an intense optical experience at close range. Complete with reproductions of all 219 large works and 154 smaller canvases and prints, Ugo Rondinone: The Sun is the most comprehensive source on the series to date.

Download or read book Ugo s Fantastic African Voyage written by Chris Woodard and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ugo doesn’t think of himself as that different. He’s just like a bunch of other kids at school—except for his name. “Ugo” is a Nigerian name, and due to its uniqueness, he is bullied and made to feel isolated and alone. No one seems to understand what he’s going through. One day at the market, he sits and just wishes someone would understand and make him feel better. Then, out of nowhere, he hears a voice. The unfamiliar boy on the bench looks and speaks like no one Ugo has ever met, but he says his father owns a store called African Magic. Strangely, the boy gives Ugo a little pebble, and that pebble takes Ugo on a wild journey all the way to Africa. There he gets the chance to learn about his heritage and his name. Ugo’s Fantastic African Voyage is one boy’s journey of self-discovery as he uncovers his ability to overcome the pain of bullying while learning about the majestic land of Africa. Truth is, everyone can be bullied: children, adolescents, and even adults. Anyone can feel like an outcast. Yet the important thing to remember is that it’s our unique qualities that make us special. All we need is the courage to accept ourselves and others, differences and all.

Download or read book Ugo Foscolo and English Culture written by Sandra Parmegiani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of the literary relations between Italy and England has its most celebrated early modern representative in Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827). Foscolo's translation of Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy is often regarded as the benchmark of his English experience, but there is more - around and beyond his relationship with Sterne - that can be uncovered. With over 3,000 letters spanning three decades, Foscolo's correspondence represents a unique perspective from which to monitor his literary, philosophical, and political views. The 'Epistolario' is also a space in which Foscolo engages with literary, philosophical, and moral questions, and a place where he exercises an often private form of literary criticism. These are letters which ultimately produce one of the most complete yet most composite self-portraits in the history of modern Italian autobiography. In the first comprehensive and historicized reading of Foscolo's correspondence, Sandra Parmegiani reveals the rich and complex relations between the Italian writer and the literature, philosophy, and culture of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Anthology of the Works of Ugo Spirito' captures the trajectory of Ugo Spirito?s complex body of thought that spanned more than fifty years, from 1921 to 1977. While confronting difficult contemporary problems related to philosophy and science, liberalism and socialism, fascism and communism, and other economic and ideological aspects such as corporativism and democracy, Spirito revealed a persistent desire to reach truth and the absolute. Yet, he also voiced his failure to consistently believe in any philosophical or political system. Unable to reach ?incontrovertibility,? he consistently examined his ideas, developing at the same time the ?antinomic? approach, a method of critical analysis that undermined any truth considered ?incontrovertible.? Today, Spirito stands as one of most anti-conformist Italian thinkers for he challenged the certainties of modern thought.
Download or read book Before the Collapse written by Ugo Bardi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobody has to tell you that when things go bad, they go bad quickly and seemingly in bunches. Complicated structures like buildings or bridges are slow and laborious to build but, with a design flaw or enough explosive energy, take only seconds to collapse. This fate can befall a company, the stock market, or your house or town after a natural disaster, and the metaphor extends to economies, governments, and even whole societies. As we proceed blindly and incrementally in one direction or another, collapse often takes us by surprise. We step over what you will come to know as a “Seneca cliff”, which is named after the ancient Roman philosopher, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, who was the first to observe the ubiquitous truth that growth is slow but ruin is rapid. Modern science, like ancient philosophy, tell us that collapse is not a bug; it is a feature of the universe. Understanding this reality will help you to see and navigate the Seneca cliffs of life, or what Malcolm Gladwell called “tipping points.” Efforts to stave off collapse often mean that the cliff will be even steeper when you step over it. But the good news is that what looks to you like a collapse may be nothing more than the passage to a new condition that is better than the old. This book gives deeper meaning to familiar adages such as “it’s a house of cards”, “let nature take its course”, “reach a tipping point”, or the popular Silicon Valley expression, “fail fast, fail often.” As the old Roman philosopher noted, “nothing that exists today is not the result of a past collapse”, and this is the basis of what we call “The Seneca Strategy.” This engaging and insightful book will help you to use the Seneca Strategy to face failure and collapse at all scales, to understand why change may be inevitable, and to navigate the swirl of events that frequently threaten your balance and happiness. You will learn: How ancient philosophy and modern science agree that failure and collapse are normal features of the universe Principles that help us manage, rather than be managed by, the biggest challenges of our lives and times Why technological progress may not prevent economic or societal collapse Why the best strategy to oppose failure is not to resist at all costs How you can “rebound” after collapse, to do better than before, and to avoid the same mistakes.
