Encuadernación: Rústica.Colección: Turner Música.Esta primera parte del medioevo está dedicada al examen de los orígenes de la música occidental partiendo del canto hebraico del Templo y las sinagogas para adentrarse en el estudio de la monodia gregoriana, fundamental en la formación de la música culta europea. Asistimos en esta obra al desarrollo de las diferentes tradiciones de las Iglesias occidentales (romana, ambrosiana, galicana, mozárabe) y a su confluencia en una única rama que dará origen al canto religioso litúrgico y extra-litúrgico que, gracias a las aportaciones y modificaciones llevadas a cabo a lo largo de los siglos, constituirá el patrimonio musical de la Iglesia católica hasta la reciente reforma del Concilio Vaticano II. Junto a tan amplio y brillante examen, que forma la estructura fundamental del texto, se ha reservado una atención particular a la aparición de la música profana, primero en latín y más tarde en las diferentes lenguas nacionales, que alcanzará

The Subjects are solo exhibition projects in which Spanish artists Cabello/Carceller, Francesc Ruiz and Pepo Salazar have a similar starting point: Salvador Dalí. The Subjects also questions the gaze of the artist figure within literature, gender thinking and the exhibition event. Cabello/Carceller presents a situation in which several characters dismantle its layers and show the uncertainty as an attitude. Pepo Salazar questions what a work art is and what is out of the work. Francesc Ruiz recovers lost characters from popular culture. Includes interviews with Montserrat Aguer (Director of the Center for Dalí Studies from the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation), Manuel Borja-Villel (director of Centro Reina Sofía National Museum of Art), Vicente Todolí (director at Tate Modern when it presented the exhibition Dalí & Film) and Paul B. Preciado (philosopher and queer activist, Program Director of the MACBA Independent Studies).

Con tiempo, y también con suerte, puede que logremos salir adelante sin que nos pase nada terrible. Se imponen dos preguntas: tendremos suerte? Y, nos queda tiempo?Cuál es la diferencia entre vivir hoy en Dinamarca o en Siria? Efectivamente, la política. El primero es un país con un sistema democrático en el mejor sentido, el de la adaptabilidad. El otro es un Estado fallido. La diferencia es el bienestar o la guerra, la vida o la muerte. Lo dice Runciman y lo demuestra su libro: la política importa. Más que nunca, importa y dirige nuestras vidas, economías y culturas. Por si no se habían enterado: Politics is the new hype.Puede la impresora 3D cambiar la escala de los partidos políticos? Puede Google sustituir al Estado? Acaso nuestros tecnócratas son capaces de olfatear siquiera hacia dónde sopla el viento de la historia? Sin la irritante monserga de la corrección política, Runciman plantea estas y mejores preguntas mientras da cuenta de los auténticos mecanismos de la política

This book brings together a wide series of photographs that travel through unknown times and places in the Salón de Reinos, the former Army Museum in Madrid. The images of Álvaro Perdices constitute an archive and visual device that reveals the corners, the absences, the shields without weapons, the empty showcases, the reflection of the intruders or the feasts that have gathered in the remains of the old palace of Felipe IV.

Texts by Juan Herreros, María Virginia Jaua, María Dolores Jiménez-Blanco, Manolo Laguillo, Álvaro Perdices and Manuel Segade. In co-edition with the CA2M, Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid.

Armando Romero's paintings often juxtapose his re-painting of historical works by Old Masters like Velazquez, Bosch, and Veronese with images from popular culture; consequently, the adjective most commonly used to describe his work is 'irreverent.' This practice is typified in series like Las Nuevas Tentaciones De San Antonio (2000) in which he re-paints and re-presents Bosch's triptych The Temptations of St. Anthony (1501) but in addition to the fantastic imagery typical of Bosch already in the original, Romero adds Tweety, Pokemon, various Looney Tunes and Disney characters - Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, and Goofy - superheroes including Superman, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four, the Jetsons, Topcat, Penelope Pitstop, the Flintstones, Smurfs, the gang from Scooby-Doo and Jerry from Tom and Jerry. At first glance, irreverent certainly seems like an appropriate description of such work but further consideration of his historical source here - particularly because Romero frequently returns to Bosch - suggests that we consider not only quite how irreverent describe the work of an artist as irreverent in the 21st century.

Jacobo Castellano, (Jaén, 1976), is one of the most complex and solid contemporary Spanish artists. He uses engraving to create a body of work based on the emotions and sensations that are hidden in his personal memory. In his work he uses elements such as curtains, wire, small piggy banks, coffins or those rhombuses that were placed on the top of the TV screen. These elements are superimposed creating structures that seem to be on the verge of collapse and that seem to want to hide something or point to a place to hide and protect themselves from imminent collapse. The work of Jacobo Castellano follows a defined line in which the recovery of remembrances stored in his memory leads to a deep reflection on essential issues such as identity, or life and death. Numerous collections of contemporary art have their production, like ARTIUM. Basque Center-Museum of Contemporary Art; CAAC. Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art; CGAC. Galician Center of Contemporary Art; Montenmedio Contemporary Art Foundation; or the Rafael Botí Provincial Plastic Arts Foundation, among others.

Marcos Martín Blanco and Elena Rueda began to acquire artworks in 1979. Over the years, the MER Foundation has gathered more than 800 works and includes important pieces from the best contemporary artists. The collection specialises in European and American figuration since 1980. This attention to figuration as distinct from painting and photography, has led Marcos and Elena to seek the masterpieces of artists such as Eric Fischl, Francesco Clemente, David Salle, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruff, Marlen Dumas, Lisa Yuscavage, Merilyn Minter, Luis Gordillo and Cecily Brown. The collection includes more than 180 artists: Miquel Barceló, José María Sicilia, Antoni Tàpies, Mompó, Palazuelo, Gordillo, Zóbel or Soledad Sevilla, among the Spanish artists, and Warhol, LeWitt, Oelen, Basquiat, David Sala or Julian Schnabel, among the international ones. In 2004 it was awarded the Collecting Prize by the ARCO art fair. This catalogue includes two introductory texts by Patricio Pron and Dan Cameron, one a more literary and personal appraisal of the founder and the collection, and the other one a technical and critical view.

Iván de la Nuez describes Luis Cruz Azaceta's work as "an aesthetics of constant escapes." His imaginative creations, ranging from figuration to abstraction, narrate anguish, pain, shipwrecks, violence... And yet they are simultaneously an escape from them: a means of coming to terms with and challenging a dark past. His paintings reflect his unique perspective as an exile in the United States. This book captures the mood of these impressive artworks, displaying them in an accessible format. Text in English and Spanish.

2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The work carried out in these hundred years has contributed to the construction and consolidation of the image of Spain as a cultural power in the international arena, projecting, in one of the best world artistic showcases, the excellence of Spanish contemporary art. In this first century of history, the Spanish Pavilion has seen different styles, evolutions and artistic changes pass through its walls, whose dynamics have been possible thanks to the work of the curators who promoted and continue to promote a “pluralism of voices” that characterises the essence of the Biennale. This book includes extensive graphic documentation that is the result of exhaustive research work. Never before has so much documentation of interest on the history of the building and the exhibitions that took place within its walls over these years been jointly published. Text in English and Spanish.

Where Art Lives in Latin America has as its starting point the countless ways of exposing and showing contemporary art today. In addition to the traditional museum concept, with its program of temporary exhibitions and permanent collection, in recent decades other formats have emerged that conduct contemporary art thinking and doing, including foundations, artistic residencies, independent art spaces, sculpture parks, among others. The book brings the reader a selection of 35 spaces for creation and exhibition in Latin America that are a reference for the development of the state of the art not only in the region but worldwide, each in its own way. Composed of images from each space and exclusive interviews with their respective directors and curators, the publication brings together unavoidable and original places that today represent the greatest poles of thought and avant-garde in contemporary Latin American art. Text in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Chacón's work can be read as a pictorially narrated story of the problems of modern and contemporary painting. Throughout his career, genres and aesthetics are transgressed in his artistic production, "pure" painting is invaded by conceptual art or becomes an installation, and the most radical geometry shares the stage with abstract expressionism. This book is the most complete editorial work dedicated to the artist, one of the main protagonists of contemporary Venezuelan and Latin American art. It contains critical texts by authors of international and national prestige, such as Jesús Fuenmayor, Dan Cameron, Nadja Rottner and Félix Suazo; it also includes a complete interview with the artist by graphic designer and curator Álvaro Sotillo and a detailed chronology by Israel Ortega and Leonor Solá. Illustrated with numerous reproductions of his works and a selection of previously unpublished historical photographs, it is destined to become an essential bibliographical reference.

In this volume Corina Matamoros brings together some of the most outstanding creators of the Cuban contemporary artistic scene, with essays that reveal a sharp curatorial perspective. Emerging, for the most part, from shows organised at the National Museum of Fine Arts (Havana), these texts examine the personal poetics of the authors, while revealing the intense consonance that has existed between their brilliant artistic productions and the sustained and faithful welcome they have received in the collections of the National Museum, to which the author has dedicated her professional life. Creators such as José Toirac, Los Carpinteros, Lázaro Saavedra, Carlos Garaicoa, Abel Barroso, Aimée García, Sandra Ramos, Kcho, Eduardo Ponjuán, José Manuel Fors, and Gustavo Pérez Monzón, among others, are treated, according to the prologue by Dr. Juan Martínez, with vibrant prose, intelligence, and haiku economy.

Arnaldo Coen (1940) is one of the most prominent Mexican artists. As a result of his restless, transgressive and irreverent creativity, his work has never ceased to be fresh.

Iconocracia uses photography to bring together approximately thirty creators of Cuban art from several generations who, despite their wide-ranging differences in biography, aesthetics and even politics, coincide in challenging what has been assimilated as Cuban photography and disseminated as such. The book is a collection of work by a series of artists who have managed to take in and process iconography with the steadfast goal of building, more than just an image, but a different imagery altogether from their individual positions and particular viewpoints. However, it also explores the very limits of photography as an act: the text by Ivan de la Nuez seeks to find a location other than the photographer's stance, radically stirring up what is usually considered to be a photographic object.

Lucien Hervé (1910-2007) was one of the great architectural photographers of the 20th century. His methodological and conceptual patterns were reflected in his work, which includes a long collaboration with Le Corbusier. In 1958 he launched the project for a photobook on the monastery of El Escorial commissioned by the RM publishing house in Barcelona, and a year later, during a trip around Spain, a second commission on popular Mediterranean architecture arose. Although they remained unpublished, both works were the object of constant revision by the photographer throughout his life. Sixty years later, both photobooks are published, preceded by specialised texts by architects Javier Mosteiro and Marco Iuliano. The publication is completed by a volume in which Iñaki Bergera and art historian Horacio Fernández offer us an overview of the artist's life and investigate the relationship between these two projects. Text in English and Spanish. Contents: Volume 1: Prefacio / Preface - Judith Hervé; Hervé en España. Blancos y negros, luces y sombras / Hervé in Spain. Whites and Blacks, Lights and Shadows; - Iñaki Bergera; Rigor y tijeras / Rigueur and Scissors - Horacio Fernández. Volume 2: Mediterránea / Mediterranean - Marco Iuliano; Arquitectura popular española / Spanish Popular Architecture - Lucien Hervé. Volume 3: El Escorial, a la luz -y contraluz- de Lucien Hervé: imágenes y reflexiones / El Escorial in the Light - and the Backlight - of Lucien Hervé: Images and Reflections - Javier Mosteiro; El Escorial - Lucien Hervé. Published to accompany an exhibitions at PhotoEspaña, Galería José de la Mano, Madrid, from 5 June to 31 July 2019.
