Information Age Publishing The Power of Oral History Narratives: Lived
Book SynopsisThe significance of this book is its uniqueness. First, the book contains a collection of fourteen chapters that capture the personal, professional, and historical experiences of international global scholars and artists to which they were subjected in their native country and after they immigrated to the United States. What makes this book project highly unusual in comparison to other publications is that these international global scholars and artists experienced historical events of trauma and joy in their native country and in their newly adopted country of the United States that lie deeply buried in their sub-consciousness; that these memories are unforgettable and still painful for them; that these memories are a constant companion in their daily lives; and that the experienced historical events of trauma and joy have shaped their professional and personal lives to this very day. There exists a paucity in the global education literature of this far-reaching topic and, thus, it has the potential to enhance and diversify the global education literature.Second, the significance of this book lies in the pedagogical power of the oral history narrative tradition and its impact on students at the secondary and tertiary levels in education. When one's lived experiences of trauma or joy occur during a critical time in history, they rarely yield unforgotten memories and deeply held private knowledge that do not come to light without a storyteller. When first-hand accounts are shared publicly, they can bring powerful insights into past historic events to the very presence. Thus, the pedagogical strength of this book contributes to knowledge creation in the classroom as oral histories move students from abstract textbook descriptions to concrete and compelling "lived" stories associated with historical happenings. This pedagogy leads students to become more critical of historical events of the past and develops in them a deeper understanding of the past. Consequently, oral history narratives enable teachers and teacher educators to enrich the abstract text of textbooks with the authentic voice of the individual.A third significance of this book lies embedded in the rich historical perspective displayed by storytellers of non-native international global scholars and artists from around the world who portray their lived-through, first-hand experiences such as child labor, communism, hate, hunger, fascism, fear, intolerance, discrimination, prejudice, poverty, war, protest, and death. Finally, a major purpose of this book is to expose young learners from around the world to empowering non-native international role models in global education and the arts from nations in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eurasia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America who build bridges—not walls—between peoples and nations.

Promopress Picasso: The Photographer's Gaze
Book SynopsisPablo Picasso always maintained a complex and intense relationship with photography and with the photographers in his milieu, something that could be seen when he pretended to be a reporter one summer, when he used his image as an icon, or when he took inspired and playful self-portraits. This book, which is also the catalogue of the exhibition of the same name at the Museu Picasso of Barcelona, immerses the reader in the universe of Picasso through photography and brings together images that explore all the facets of a creator who is simultaneously the author, model, witness and viewer of his work and life.

Book SynopsisLe Grand Verre de terre is an artist book that accompanies the special anniversary issue of Matador magazine. It collects the impressive images that the Mallorcan artist made for the National Library of France, in Paris in 2016: a gigantic fresco of 190 meters long by 6 meters high made in clay on the crystals of the mythical library and populated by the fantastic shapes, animals and creatures that shape Barceló’s imagination. A living work, conceived to be observed from inside and outside the building, which introduced the visitor to an extraordinary exhibition. The fresco was erased by the artist when the exhibition ended, and only the memory of these pages remain.

Turner Publicaciones, S.L. Roberto Obregón: Accumulate, Classify, Preserve,
Book SynopsisThis book was produced on the occasion of the first solo exhibition of Obregón's work in a North American public institution and includes essays by the curators Jesús Fuenmayor and Kaira M. Cabañas, in which the work is approached from the artist's own methodology and from its relevance in the current cultural context. In addition, it contains an extensive section in which all the works presented are exhaustively recorded in accordance with the curatorial structure, derived from years of work in the classification of the Archivo Obregón by Israel Ortega and Leonor Solá, and thanks to which it has been possible to open this window to investigate the intimacy and the interstices of Obregón's work. Since 2011, the Obregón Archive has formed part of the Carolina and Fernando Eseverri Collection.

Turner Publicaciones, S.L. Sarah Crowner. Serpentear
Book SynopsisNew Yorkbased artist Sarah Crowner (born 1974) makes paintings, ceramics, sculptures, installations and theatre sets. Her large-scale sewn canvases display a fluency in mid-20th-century art, artists and architecture, with a particular regard for geometric abstraction and Color Field compositions. Crowner's rigorous practice has long engaged thematic research with an abiding interest in materials, craft, and their related histories and processes. This beautifully produced, comprehensive publication spans over a decade of the artist's wide-ranging practice, documenting all of her major works to date, including her most recent exhibitions in Mexico and Brazil. Essays by Nikki Columbus, Diego Matos and Ingrid Schaffner discuss Crowner''s tileworks, paintings and designs for the stage in depth, showing how she has drawn inspiration from Mexican culture across disciplines and throughout the history of modernism as a whole. A portfolio of images is featured alongside Quinn Latimer's lyrica

Fabrica Editorial, La Drawings Juan Munoz
Book SynopsisExploring the little-known drawing practice of a late giant of Spanish sculpture. Juan Munoz (1953 2001) was a Spanish artist and self-described storyteller who worked primarily as a sculptor. Best known for his unsettling papier-mache characters that seem to be caught in the middle of an action suspended in time, Munoz made remarkable and pioneering breaks from the traditional and formal language of sculpture by introducing narrative elements into his work. This is the first overview of Munoz's little-known work in illustration, featuring his drawings and works on paper held by museum and gallery collections across Europe and the United States. With critical texts and essays to accompany the works, this volume contextualises the artist's drawing practice both within his larger oeuvre and the influence of 18th- and 19th-century European and Spanish drawing traditions. AUTHOR: Juan Munoz (Spain, 1953-2001) studied art in London and awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study at the prest

La Fabrica Hysteria - The Transgression of Desire
Book SynopsisPortraits of carnivals, storefronts, subways and other scenes of American life, recently unearthed from the archives of the avant-garde legend Since the 1970s, Catalan artist Antoni Miralda (born 1942) has created avant-garde installations, happenings and performances all over Europe and the US, most famously with his restaurant El Internacional (created with his partner, the chef Montse Guillén), which became a celebrated 1980s New York hot spot, and the FoodCulturaMuseum. Miralda has spent a large part of his career in the US, especially in the 1960s and ’70s when he traveled widely across the country and amassed a substantial oeuvre of photographs. This volume compiles these black-and-white images, recently discovered by chance in Miralda’s archives. Often comical, sometimes somber, the photographs range from shots of Easter celebrations in Brooklyn to portraits of Louisiana carnivals, scenes from Harlem, the Bronx, Kansas City, Miami, Philadelphia and elsewhere in the US, as well as photographs taken in Europe.
