Download or read book Sculpture and the Vitrine written by JohnC. Welchman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitrines and glass cabinets are familiar apparatuses that have in large part defined modern modes of display and visibility, both within and beyond the museum. They separate objects from their contexts, group them with other objects, both similar and dissimilar, and often serve to reinforce their intrinsic or aesthetic values. The vitrine has much in common with the picture frame, the plinth and the gallery, but it has not yet received the kind of detailed art historical and theoretical discussion that has been brought to these other modes of formal display. The twelve contributions to this volume examine some of the points of origin of the vitrine and the various relations it brokers with sculpture, first in the Wunderkammer and cabinet of curiosities and then in dialog with the development of glazed architecture beginning with Paxton's Crystal Palace (1851). The collection offers close discussions of the role of the vitrine and shop window in the rise of commodity culture and their apposition with Constructivist design in the work of Frederick Kiesler; as well as original readings of the use of vitrines in Surrealism and Fluxus, and in work by Joseph Beuys, Paul Thek, Claes Oldenburg and his collaborators, Jeff Koons, Mike Kelley, Dan Graham, Vito Acconci, Damien Hirst and Josephine Meckseper, among others. Sculpture and the Vitrine also raises key questions about the nature and implications of vitrinous space, including its fronts onto desire and the spectacle; transparency and legibility; and onto ideas and practices associated with the archive: collecting, preserving and ordering.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Historiens de l’art et archéologues ont tenté de mettre en lumière, dans leurs dimensions passées et dans leurs prolongements actuels, les multiples facettes de ces objets d’art et de sciences que sont les moulages. Par la richesse et la diversité des thèmes abordés ainsi que par la présence de nombreuses illustrations, les Actes de ce colloque font le point sur les rapports spécifiques qu’entretinrent l’Allemagne, la Grande-Bretagne et la France, aux "temps forts" du moulage, avec les hauts lieux de la sculpture antique que sont la Grèce et l’Italie, et constituent un témoignage important de l’histoire artistique, culturelle et scientifique des moulages, susceptible d’intéresser l’amateur éclairé autant que l’érudit. »--

Download or read book Bally A History of Footwear in the Interwar Period written by Anna-Brigitte Schlittler and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Franz Bally founded a shoe factory in Switzerland in 1851. Within decades, the Bally name had achieved worldwide recognition for its high-quality footwear. The history of modern footwear can be traced through the lens of Bally's corporate evolution. This book brings together the results of research on such topics as the economic importance of fashion, Bally's fortunes in the US, the career of shoe design, the sourcing and use of materials, and the rise of strategic product display. The research focuses on the 1930s and 1940s: years of economic crisis and war, characterized by a wide diversity of designs and increasing variety in product range. Shortages also led to experiments with materials and technical innovations. Featuring numerous points of contact with adjacent fields of historical study, this publication marks a contribution to the history of fashion as the history of industrially manufactured products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The increasing trend towards collaborations between practising artists and museum curators has in some cases involved the rehanging of existing collections or redesigning of gallery spaces.
