Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002), the entirety of which are collected in this volume, represent a revealing series of reflections on art and culture by the deeply influential Spanish sculptor, originally intended either for his private use or as public lectures. Edited in collaboration with Chillida's family, the texts include tributes to such figures as Bach, Joan Miró, Gabriel Aresti, Pío Baroja, Joan Brossa, María Zambrano and Mark Rothko, alongside discussions of the most difficult artistic questions that Chillida faced throughout his career, covered here in his acceptance speech for his induction to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Also discussed are metaphysical themes of perception, knowledge and religion, all of which informed his sculpture's approach to materiality as a kind of "realism," and made his body of work one of the most significant in abstract sculpture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sculptural work of Chillida (San Sebastian, 1924-2002) is non-figurative and characterised, in the artist's own words, by the dialogue between masses and voids of often monumental proportions, elements that he endows with conceptual unity thanks to his mastery of the laws of movement and balance. In this book Carandente, far from restricting himself to commenting on the most visible aspects of the artist's career, analyses the conceptual and technical dimensions of his activity, both the individual task of searching and perfecting and the socio-cultural context that acts as a framework to the Basque sculptor's output. Chillida is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding figures in the sculpture of the second half of the 20th century. 782 illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deluxe appreciation of Eduardo Chillida's public sculpture The outdoor public works of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002), which are installed in various cities around the world, are protrayed here in stunning black-and-white photography, highlighting the intensity of his monumentally scaled abstract sculptures. In most cases, the architectural, urban or landscape setting determines many elements of the sculpture, and the artist strives to relate his design to the external environment in which it is placed. Here, both the details of each sculpture and its setting are featured. Chillida: Open-Air Sculptures begins with an essay by Italian art critic Giovanni Carandente that tracks Chilida's origins and inspirations, and also analyzes his civic and social themes. The volume also features a wide selection of the artist's own writings, included on inserted pages printed on an alternative paper stock. Chilida's lucid meditations on sculpture outline his intentions and desires, bringing us closer to the work itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A massive compendium on the multimedia art of Rashid Johnson, tackling themes of Black history, literature, philosophy and material culture Rashid Johnson (born 1977) is renowned for challenging the assumptions often present in collective notions of Blackness. Based in New York, Johnson is among an influential group of American artists whose work employs a wide range of materials and images to explore themes of art history, literature, philosophy, and personal and cultural identity. After beginning his career working primarily in photography, Johnson has expanded into a variety of mediums, including text work, sculptural objects, installation, painting, drawing, collage, film, performance and choreography. Drawing on a dizzying array of historical, cultural, literary and musical references, Johnson ultimately invites audiences to find connections to their own lives. Rashid Johnson: The Hikers presents works from his highly acclaimed shows at the Aspen Art Museum, Museo Tamayo and Hauser & Wirth. This dynamic and unprecedented collection of his work features a conversation between Rashid Johnson and choreographer Claudia Schreier, as well as essays by curators Heidi Zuckerman and Manuela Moscoso.

Download or read book Heidegger Among the Sculptors written by Andrew Mitchell and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s and 60s, Martin Heidegger turned to sculpture to rethink the relationship between bodies and space and the role of art in our lives. In his texts on the subject—a catalog contribution for an Ernst Barlach exhibition, a speech at a gallery opening for Bernhard Heiliger, a lecture on bas-relief depictions of Athena, and a collaboration with Eduardo Chillida—he formulates his later aesthetic theory, a thinking of relationality. Against a traditional view of space as an empty container for discrete bodies, these writings understand the body as already beyond itself in a world of relations and conceive of space as a material medium of relational contact. Sculpture shows us how we belong to the world, a world in the midst of a technological process of uprooting and homelessness. Heidegger suggests how we can still find room to dwell therein. Filled with illustrations of works that Heidegger encountered or considered, Heidegger Among the Sculptors makes a singular contribution to the philosophy of sculpture.

Download or read book Aesthetics After Metaphysics written by Miguel de Beistegui and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on a dimension of art which the philosophical tradition (from Plato to Hegel and even Adorno) has consistently overlooked, such was its commitment - explicit or implicit - to mimesis and the metaphysics of truth it presupposes. De Beistegui refers to this dimension, which unfolds outside the space that stretches between the sensible and the supersensible - the space of metaphysics itself - as the hypersensible and show how the operation of art to which it corresponds is best described as metaphorical. The movement of the book, then, is from the classical or metaphysical aesthetics of mimesis (Part One) to the aesthetics of the hypersensible and metaphor (Part Two). Against much of the history of aesthetics and the metaphysical discourse on art, he argues that the philosophical value of art doesn't consist in its ability to bridge the space between the sensible and the supersensible, or the image and the Idea, and reveal the sensible as proto-conceptual, but to open up a different sense of the sensible. His aim, then, is to shift the place and role that philosophy attributes to art.
