ACC Art Books Xu Bing: Book from the Sky to Book from the
Book Synopsis"The written word is the most basic element of human culture. To touch the written word is to touch the essence of culture." - Xu Bing Book from the Sky certainly seemed to have fallen from the heavens: the text of this installation piece was written in a new language that resembled traditional Chinese. No matter who scours Xu Bing's book for 'meaning', they will only discover a semblance of it: mutated characters that resist interpretation. Carving out approximately four thousand wood blocks by hand, Xu Bing spent four years, from 1987 to 1991, making (in his own words) "something that said nothing". After creating a book no one could read, it only made sense for Xu Bing to develop his next project: a book that transcended barriers of language: Book from the Ground. Composed entirely of pictographs, Book from the Ground is a groundbreaking study into the concept of universal communication. Whether his goal is total comprehension or confusion, Xu Bing's masterful exploration of language challenges the way we think about the written word.

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd Light Field: The Art of Bruce Munro
Book SynopsisStarting his career in commercial lighting design, Bruce Munro (b.1959) later returned to his artistic roots to create large immersive site-specific light installations. Exploring Munro’s fascinating career to date, text and images combine to present an artist whose work is an exploration of place, topography and the environments in which the works are set. From the Australian desert to Californian vineyards, through to museums and manor houses in his native England, Munro’s spellbinding installations are immersive experiences that engage with the senses, their apparent simplicity belying the thematic and technological complexity behind their conception and realisation. Continually probing the possibilities of light and the considerable emotional pull the medium can create, Munro's enthusiasm for his materials and their relationship with audiences and environments is intelligently and engagingly communicated here. Richly balanced with beautiful reproductions of Munro's spectacular work, Light Field is essential reading for anyone interested in the power of light as an artform.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; 1 The birth of the Field of Light; 2 Developing Art Practice; 3 Long Knoll, Wiltshire; 4 Ideas and Inspirations; 5 New Directions and Works in Progress; Chronology; Bibliography; Index

AVEdition Event Design Yearbook 2020/2021
Book SynopsisThe world is changing. A host of developments are impacting our lives: sustainability, values, equality, purpose, digitisation or 'Gen Z'. However, a consideration of the majority of brand experiences gives rise to the question: Where is the change? It occurred: with COVID-19! And suddenly it was about people's lives, about our supply system and saving our and many other sectors. This is therefore a special Event Design Yearbook. It allows us to revel in projects that have been prohibited for months in 2020. It also shows experience concepts from the time before COVID-19. With all the foreseen changes after the pandemic, as described for example by Cedric Ebener in an interview, one can only speculate how the concepts presented here might look in future.

MIT Press Ltd Digital Performance A History of New Media in
Book SynopsisThe historical roots, key practitioners, and artistic, theoretical, and technological trends in the incorporation of new media into the performing arts.The past decade has seen an extraordinarily intense period of experimentation with computer technology within the performing arts. Digital media has been increasingly incorporated into live theater and dance, and new forms of interactive performance have emerged in participatory installations, on CD-ROM, and on the Web. In Digital Performance, Steve Dixon traces the evolution of these practices, presents detailed accounts of key practitioners and performances, and analyzes the theoretical, artistic, and technological contexts of this form of new media art. Dixon finds precursors to today's digital performances in past forms of theatrical technology that range from the deus ex machina of classical Greek drama to Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk (concept of the total artwork), and draws parallels between contemporary work and the

Getty Trust Publications David Lamelas - A Life of Their Own
Book SynopsisThe renowned Argentinian conceptual artist David Lamelas (born 1946) has an expansive oeuvre, which shows his work to be evocative, restive, and exhilarating. This book, published to coincide with the first monographic exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, offers an incisive look into Lamelas's art. The guiding analytic theme in this book is the artist's adaptability to place and circumstance, which invariably influences his creative production. Lamelas left Argentina in the mid-1960s to study at Saint Martin's in London. Since then, he divides his time among various cities. While the typical narrative invoked about artists like Lamelas is that of "internationalism," Lamelas has always been more "postnational" than "international" in his nomadic movement, from one place or conceptual framework to the next.

Taschen GmbH Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Book SynopsisThe work of the artist couple Christo (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) resists categorization. It is a hybrid of art, urban planning, architecture, and engineering, but above all an aesthetic uniquely their own: surreal and ethereal environmental interventions that have graced monuments, public parks, and centers of power alike. This compact book spans the complete career of the couple who were born on the very same day, met in Paris, fell in love, and became a creative team like no other. With rich illustration, it spans Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s earliest projects in the 1950s right through to The Floating Piers, installed at Lake Iseo, Italy, in 2016. The book celebrates all of the couple’s most famous environmental interventions, such as The Gates in New York’s Central Park and the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, while also featuring early drawings and family photos unknown to the wider public.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd The Marvellous and the Monstrous in the Sculpture
Book SynopsisRichly-illustrated consideration of the meaning of the carvings of non-human beings, from centaurs to eagles, found in ecclesiastical settings. Representations of monsters and the monstrous are common in medieval art and architecture, from the grotesques in the borders of illuminated manuscripts to the symbol of the "green man", widespread in churches and cathedrals. These mysterious depictions are frequently interpreted as embodying or mitigating the fears symptomatic of a "dark age". This book, however, considers an alternative scenario: in what ways did monsters in twelfth-century sculpture help audiences envision, perhaps even achieve, various ambitions? Using examples of Romanesque sculpture from across Europe, with a focus on France and northern Portugal, the author suggests that medieval representations of monsterscould service ideals, whether intellectual, political, religious, and social, even as they could simultaneously articulate fears; he argues that their material presence energizes works of art in paradoxical, even contradictory ways. In this way, Romanesque monsters resist containment within modern interpretive categories and offer testimony to the density and nuance of the medieval imagination. KIRK AMBROSE is Associate Professor & Chair, Department of Art and Art History, University of Colorado Boulder.Trade ReviewAn insightful and overdue study that will pave the way for future research. * SPECULUM *[An] excellent work. ... Ambrose's scholarly contribution is fundamental to the progression of the study of Romanesque sculpture. * MEDIEVAL REVIEW *Profound and intellectually wide-ranging. ... A book that offers both a fresh and profound perspective on monsters and a superb, original, perspective on the current state of the field and some of its central questions. * BURLINGTON MAGAZINE *Fascinating.

De Gruyter human error: Louisa Clement
Book SynopsisGerman-english edition The question of identity has always preoccupied artists. Louisa Clement is no different, her central theme is the human being and the human in the digital. In her art, she starts out from herself, but ventures much further, asking how identity will be shaped in the future and examining forms of transformation. In the series of works Repräsentantinnen (Representatives), she creates AI-equipped, adaptive images of herself, with which visitors can converse. In photographic works, the master pupil of Andreas Gursky continues this examination of the body and its possible optimisations and deals with military legacies under the aspect of transformation. This publication is appearing for an exhibition at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum - both artists are united in their search for self-expression, as Paula Modersohn-Becker's Self-portrait on 6th wedding anniversary from 1906 demonstrates in a succinct manner.

Granta Books Rodinsky's Room
Book SynopsisRodinsky's world was that of the East European Jewry, cabbalistic speculation, an obsession with language as code and terrible loss. He touched the imagination of artist Rachel Lichtenstein, whose grandparents had left Poland in the 1930s. This text weaves together Lichtenstein's quest for Rodinsky - which took her to Poland, to Israel and around Jewish London - with Iain Sinclair's meditations on her journey into her own past and on the Whitechapel he has reinvented in his own writing. Rodinsky's Room is a testament to a world that has all but vanished, a homage to a unique culture and way of life.Trade ReviewThis is a mystery story and a detective story. It is a story of obsession and possession. It is a story about disappearing people, disappearing buildings and a disappearing way of life. Most of all, it is a story of a man who vanished, and the woman who set out to find him and, in the process, found herself * Guardian *Highly original, entertaining and instructive ... Thanks to those two mythographers, the story of David Rodinsky will remain with us * Times Literary Supplement *A wonderful story * Observer *

David Zwirner Carol Bove
Book SynopsisCarol Bove presents new work by “sculpture’s woman of steel,” as coined by Randy Kennedy in The New York Times. Her new sculptures expand on her investigations of materiality and form.Characterized by compositions of various types of steel, Bove’s ongoing series of “collage sculptures,” begun in 2016, amalgamates theoretical and art-historical influences across time periods and disciplines. To create these lyrical and abstract assemblages, Bove pairs fabricated tubing that has been crushed and shaped at her studio with found metal scraps and a single highly polished disk. Luminous color is applied to parts of the composition, transforming the steel—more commonly associated with inflexibility and heft—into something that appears malleable and lightweight, like clay, fabric, or crinkled paper.Bove’s new works are smaller in scale and elaborate on the “collage sculptures,” with more complex forms that twist, fold, and bend into postures that belie their material construction. Bove manipulates steel to varying degrees, rendering gentle folds in some, and extreme, almost anthropomorphic contortions in others. Their contrasting textures—matte, glossy, or rough—create a further sense of visual play, heightening the surface tension throughout.The publication features a new interview with the artist by Johanna Burton. Published on the occasion of the artist’s solo exhibition at David Zwirner, Hong Kong in 2019, Carol Bove is available in both English only and bilingual English/traditional Chinese editions.

The University of Chicago Press Of What One Cannot Speak Doris Salcedos
Book SynopsisDoris Salcedo, a Colombian-born artist, addresses the politics of memory and forgetting in work that embraces fraught situations in dangerous places. This title leads us into intimate encounters with Salcedo's art, encouraging us to consider each work as a 'theoretical object' that invites certain kinds of considerations about history and grief.Trade Review"Of What One Cannot Speak is the next innovative and brilliant book that will once again push the field of visual studies into unexplored areas.... Bal does not simply take Doris Salcedo's work as her starting point, and neither does she argue that the violence of the political is somehow merely 'reflected' in it. Instead, she embarks on a much more ambitious and original project - initiating a discourse by allowing a work of art to take the lead." - Hanneke Grootenboer, University of Oxford"

Book SynopsisA comprehensive introduction to the vast range of tribal sculpture from Africa is presented in this photographic survey. Ashanti fertility dolls, Bambara dance headpieces, Bachokwe staff heads, and Bakuba boxes are included in 347 works from Senegal to the Congo regions, Mali to Sierra Leone. This book provides a tremendous opportunity to view the diversity, expressive quality, and sheer evocative power of African art, and to gain a better understanding of one of the great heritages of mankind. Author Warren Robbins, founder and former director of the National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., presents these pieces from the perspective of two civilizations -- Africa and the West. Believing that the works are classical rather than primitive art, his sensitive analysis of the stylistic refinements of the various tribes past and present emphasizes the importance of preserving this art for posterity.
