Art &, D: Research and Development in Art

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description aRt&,D considers changes in art practice due to media, to that new branch of art making known primarily as electronic art. Use of radio and video came first, about 25 years ago, but over the last 10 years digital media and network technology have reigned. This new discipline embraces a heterogeneous collection of artistic, technological, and scientific disciplines and is also characterized by inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations. Electronic art proved a troublesome fit for existing art institutions, necessitating the founding of specialized organizations for the funding and creation of relatively expensive, process-based projects. And they were: digital art laboratories were established around the world with the financial support of governments, arts foundations, industry, scientific programs, and so on. aRt&,D is a critical consideration of the many artistic, technical, and theoretical aspects of making electronic art in such interdisciplinary… [detailed...]

2007 y.
Publisher: Chronicle Books
Description: Rex Ray`s highly collectible artwork is coveted in design as well as art circles. His color-bursting, curvaceous art graces the walls of high-design hotels, world-class museums, and hip restaurants, yet remains, as acclaimed author Douglas Coupland puts it in his foreword, `unslick, but superslick at the same time.` Abstract and handcrafted, with a retro-futuristic mid-century feel, Rex Ray`s meditations on fluid forms are a rare combination of sophistication and decorative appeal. The first monograph to survey his multi-faceted work in various media including paper cutouts, mixed-media collages, paintings, digital prints, and the highly admired graphic design and music packaging that launched his visual career Rex Ray is a veritable trove of his sleek yet playful aesthetic.

Art After Conceptual Art (Generali Foundation Collection)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Art After Conceptual Art tracks the various legacies of conceptualist practice over the past three decades. This collection of essays by art historians from Europe and the Americas introduces and develops the idea that conceptual art generated several different, and even contradictory, forms of art practice. Some of these contested commonplace assumptions of what art is, others served to buttress those assumptions. The bulk of the volume features newly written and highly innovative essays challenging standard interpretations of the legacy of conceptualism and discussing the influence of conceptualism’s varied practices on art since the 1970s. The essays explore topics as diverse as the interrelationships between conceptualism and institutional critique, neoexpressionist painting and conceptualist paradigms, conceptual art’s often-ignored complicity with design and commodity culture, the specific forms of identity politics taken up by the reception of conceptual art,… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionA fascinating exploration of the healing power of art.

From the drawings of a child imprisoned in Terezin to quilts created by slave women in the United States, history repeatedly shows us people finding solace in crafting beautiful things.

John A. Walker
Art And Celebrity

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe uneasy crossover between art and celebrity has been much discussed in recent years. Artists as celebrities is hardly a new phenomenon, but the growing cult of celebrity in contemporary culture is throwing up paradoxical ideas about the contradictions between `high` art and mass appeal and blurring the already unstable boundaries between art, commodity and popular culture. This is a lively and accessible study of the phenomenon -- the glitzy world where art and celebrity meet -- informed by a fundamentally serious look at what happens when the `serious` world of art collides with celebrity. Global culture is now dominated by celebrities, some of whom -- like Madonna and Stallone -- are art collectors and some -- like Dennis Hopper and David Bowie -- are spare-time artists. Walker explains how artists such as Warhol, Gavin Turk, Jeff Koons, Elizabeth Peyton and Alison Jackson contribute to, but also critique, the cult of celebrity by depicting film… [detailed...]

Art And Science of Stanislaw Lem

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Polish science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem, whose works include Return from the Stars, The Cyberiad, A Perfect Vacuum, and Solaris, has been hailed as a `literary Einstein` and a science-fiction Bach. The Art and Science of Stanislaw Lem offers an inter-disciplinary analysis of his influence on Western culture and the creative partnering of art and science in his fiction and futorology by American and European scholars who have defined Lem scholarship. Rather than analyzing Lem solely as a science fiction writer, the contributors examine the larger themes in his work, such as social engineering and human violence, agency and consciousness, Freudianism and the creative process, evolution and the philosophy of the future, virtual reality and epistemological illusion, and science fiction and socio-cultural policy. This unique collection also includes `Smart Robots,` a previously unpublished essay by Lem. Contributors include Peter Butko (Southern Mississippi), Istvan… [detailed...]

Jonathan Petropoulos
Art As Politics in the Third Reich

1999 y.
Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press
Description: The political elite of Nazi Germany perceived itself as a cultural elite as well. In Art as Politics in the Third Reich, Jonathan Petropoulos explores the elite`s cultural aspirations by examining both the formulation of a national aesthetic policy and the content of the private art collections held by high-ranking Nazis. He demonstrates that these leaders manipulated public policy and their own collecting patterns to articulate fundamental tenets of Nazi ideology. Petropoulos begins by tracing the evolution of official aesthetic policy, from the purges of museum staff and academics labeled as `undesirable` in 1933 to the confiscation of Jewish-owned artworks in the late 1930s and the organized plundering of art from occupied areas during the war. He then reconstructs the collections of a dozen prominent Nazi officials—including Hitler, Gsring, Goebbels, Himmler, Speer, and Ribbentrop—and argues that their private holdings defined their relationships to one another within the Nazi… [detailed...]

Art At The Margins: The Work of Jennifer Kotter, Ray Materson and Bonnie Peterson

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a descriptive and historical study of how Jennifer Kotter, Ray Materson and Bonnie Peterson, three late 20th century artists, use their experience, objects from everyday life, and the techniques of ?women?s work? to create `art at the margins.` Levinson defines ?art at the margins? as art that is perceived to be low art, rather than high art, because the artists use ?women?s workstereotyped with domestic activities and craft. Her discussion focuses on how the artwork remains or transcends its status at the margins and moves among diverse categories of art. Interviews with the three artists reveal their life experiences and views on their art. Each artistset in an historical context to show how the medium evolved, how certain perceptions became attached to it, and how the concept of mainstream art changed over time. Included are sections on female stereotypes, embroidery, art quilts, and pluralist art of the 1970s. Levinsonnalysis sheds light on the… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description Refuting the assumption that art is a representational practice, Bolt`s striking argument engages with the work of Heidegger, Deleuze and Guattari, C.S.Peirce and Judith Butler to argue for a performative relationship between art andartist. Drawing on themes as diverse as the work of Cezanne and of Francis Bacon, the transubstantiation of the Catholic sacrament and Wilde`s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray , she challenges the metaphor of light as enlightenment, reconceiving this revealing light as the blinding glare of the Australian sun, and suggests that too much light may in fact reveal nothing. Finally she asks: how does an embodied practice fare within the culture of conceptual art? [detailed...]
