Ediciones Poligrafa The Architecture of Life: Environments, Sculptures, Paintings, Drawings and Films by Carlos Bunga
Carlos Bunga's sculptural and painterly structures propose architecture as body and mindscape. Using only cardboard and paint, Bunga creates fantastical buildings, furniture-like sculptures and paintings as immersive environments. This book surveys his actions and performances, and documents over a decade of installations. Enacting cycles of construction and destruction, Bunga explores states of dispossession and nomadism; the nature of spatial experience; and the creative and symbolic potential of ruin. With essays by Iwona Blazwick, Carlos Bunga, Nuno Faria, Inês Grosso and Antony Hudek.

Ediciones Poligrafa Marcel Li Antunez Roca Systematurgy
Marcel Lí Antúnez Roca (Moià, Barcelona, 1959) is internationally renowned for his mechatronic performances and interactive installations. From his earliest days, as founder of the theatre company La Fura dels Baus in 1979, Marcel Lí has assembled his own special universe of interests, to which he has contributed (among other things) his interest in Outsider Art, the trends of the 1960s, technology, science, comics and popular traditions. This personal universe is completed by his embracing of particular aspects of the human experience such as food, sex and death. For over two decades, the performance art that lies at the heart of Marcel Lí''s work has been immersed in digital technology. During this time, he has developed a working procedure he has dubbed ''Systematurgy''; a practice that is characterised by the concept of user participation. This book explains the concept of Systematurgy through a first-person narrative that also offers us an insight into the genesis and form of p

Ediciones Poligrafa Art Strikes Back
For more than two centuries we have heard, again and again, in a most persistent manner, and in many different contexts and situations, that art is dead. We have heard that artistic experience has been overcome or permanently suspended from history. It is said that what began, strictly speaking, with the arrival of the Renaissance has ceased to occupy a significant place within our cultural landscapes. In the field of theory and artistic thought, those who have pondered on or delivered such mortuary statements are countless: from Hegel to Arthur Danto. Despite all this, art resists and persists, time and time again. In the face of every death certificate, art restructures its own parameters to generate a prospect of sense, both internal and external, strong enough to continue to be operational. This fortitude is shaped by proposals from a selection of contemporary artists: Rita Ackermann, Louise Bourgeois, Martin Creed, Subodh Gupta, Thomas Houseago, Paul McCarthy, Dieter Roth, Mira

Ediciones Poligrafa Institute of Contemporary Art Boston: Museum Building Guides
The Institute of Contemporary Art, designed by Diller + Scofidio (now Diller Scofidio + Renfro), was the first new art museum to be built in Boston in a century. Opened in December 2006, the ICA is located on a small parcel of land on Boston Harbor and this is the 25th location for the museum in its 75 year history and its first, permanent, free-standing home. "The ICA's decision to hire Diller + Scofidio reflected our belief in the firm's vision that architecture can shape as well as reflect contemporary experience," stated Jill Medvedow, director of ICA. The architects balanced use of cool and transparent glass with the warmth of wood and the energy of light, as well as their design of spare, flexible spaces for presenting contemporary art, was a revelation for a city and an architectural community. ''Their brilliant and beautiful design of the ICA was a harbinger of change: edgy, bold and breathtaking, transforming the landscape for contemporary art and culture in Boston and for the artists, art and ideas of our time," Medvedow has said.
