Art Works: Money

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A unique exhibition in a book, presenting challenging art that deals with the place and function of autobiography in the contemporary world. Art Works: An exciting new series celebrating the vitality and diversity of art in the twenty-first century. Not only is money central to our daily existence, it also controls the very way societies organize themselves. It`s small wonder then that artists engage with this most powerful of social forces and address the many ways it impacts on our lives. Arranged into themed `rooms,` the book reflects a wide variety of artistic attitudes and practices. Some artists depict or use real money directly in their work, while others explore its more abstract aspects, such as the way it circulates around the globe. Some make highly expensive objects from valuable materials or produce sculptural copies of luxury goods, others go in the opposite direction, toward the amateurish and the handmade, to question the idea… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description A unique exhibition in a book, presenting challenging art that addresses the function of place in the contemporary world. Art Works: An exciting new series celebrating the vitality and diversity of art in the twenty-first century. Everyone wants to find his or her own place in the world. But where is it and what is it? How do we recognize place as being significant and not just merely space? And what is it that makes one place special and another not? These are questionsthat have taxed philosophers as far back as Ancient Greece, but they are much more than philosophical investigations. In a world where neighbor fights neighbor over a stretch of land, or where some groups can feel safe only in certain locations, place isa living reality that can be either the cause for violent conflict or the glue that binds communities together. This exhibition in a book presents some of the most challenging art to address the function of place in the contemporary… [detailed...]

Art and Advertising (Art and… Series)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Art and advertising are often seen as potential enemies, with the one being free from commercial concerns and the other dependent upon them. In this clearly written and wide-ranging book, Joan Gibbons argues rather for a mutually enriching relationship between the two, showing how artists have reached a wider audience by embracing the tactics and mass media of advertising, and how advertising has employed issues and strategies of contemporary art. Charting key points of overlap and antagonism, she looks at the work of artists from Andy Warhol, Barbara Kruger and Victor Burgin to Sylvie Fleurie and Swetlana Heger and at landmark campaigns from Silk Cut to Benetton`s Shock of Reality. Exploring cutting-edge advertising from the influential work of David Carson to Wieden and Kennedy`s Nike campaigns and the art and advertising work of Tony Kaye, she also looks at the increasing endorsement of art by highly branded products such as Absolut vodka, to argue that… [detailed...]

Art and Anger: Essays on Politics and the Imagination

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Fascinated by the idea of Western civilization as being a sequence of numerous misinterpretations and misrepresentations, these 19 essays cover a broad range of topics with the unifying theme being the crossroads where politics and the imagination meet. An essay on linguistics and culture discusses the shaping of Latin America’s collective identity, Peru’s modern history is approached as a bloody battle between enlightenment and darkness, and in critiques of Octavio Paz and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ilan Stavans reflects on the dichotomy between pen and sword in the Hispanic world. In Letter to a German Friend, Stavans returns to his fate as a Jew in the Southern Hemisphere, and in The First Book, he connects his passion for literature to his initiation into Jewishness. Finally, in a meditation on Columbus’s afterlife, he reflects on the many ways in which we reinvent ourselves in order to make sense of the chaotic world that surrounds… [detailed...]

Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Challuabamba (chi-wa-bamba)--now a developing suburb of Cuenca, the principal city in the southern highlands of Ecuador--has been known for a century as an ancient site that produced exceptionally fine pottery in great quantities. Suspecting that Challuabamban ceramics might provide a link between earlier, preceramic culture and later, highly developed Formative period art, Terence Grieder led an archaeological investigation of the site between 1995 and 2001. In this book, he and the team of art historians and archaeologists who excavated at Challuabamba present their findings, which establish the community`s importance as a center in a network of trade and artistic influence that extended to the Amazon River basin and the Pacific Coast. Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador presents an extensive analysis of ceramics dating to 2100-1100 BC, along with descriptions of stamps and seals, stone and shell artifacts, burials and their offerings, human remains, and zooarchaeology….

Description: Globalization and rational economic pursuits are putting a strain on organizations to constantly think up new ideas to sustain their mission. Theories of competition and consumerism are not sustainable in the long run because the needs of people grow increasingly complex. This book offers an alternative approach to organization strategies and management where art and design play strategic rather than supportive roles. A new category of organizational strategy that places culture at its core redefines the role of art and design in the organization. A culture-centric organization focuses on creating meaning and well-being to improve the lives of its customers and community. This adds new depth to management theories and practices where the value of an organization shifts from developing competitive advantage to pioneering innovation for humanity. It also forces a rethink of art and design where they are valued by organizations for their ability to transform, invent, integrate and… [detailed...]

Art and Experience:

2003 y.

Description: Book DescriptionIn recent years, `experience` has been one of the most ambiguous, evasive, and controversial terms in myriad disciplines including epistemology, religion, literary theory, and philosophical aesthetics. Its association with the subjective consciousness has deprived it of the cognitive status of human knowledge. Art and Experience aims to grasp a firmer hold on this elusive concept, via essays written by a distinguished group of international scholars who have rediscovered the foundation ofexperience and restored its cognitive status in understanding our cultural activities. Indeed, emotions and experience play a vital role in human cognition, and the symbiotic relationship between culture and experience is a subject long overdue for further study. This volume`s broad approach makes it an invaluable contribution to the study of the humanities. [detailed...]

Description: This book analyzes the broad range of Supreme Court cases that concern the protection of art and free speech under the First Amendment.

Bezanson tracks and interprets the Court`s decisions on film, nude dancing, music, painting, and other visual expressions. Showing how the Court has dealt with judgments of art, quality, meaning, and how to distinguish types of speech and expression, Bezanson explores issues as diverse as homosexuality in the Boy Scouts, gay and lesbian parade floats, 2 Live Crew`s alleged copyright infringement, National Endowment for the Arts grants and diversity, dangerous art, and screenings of the film Carnal Knowledge. In considering the transformative meaning of art, the importance of community judgments, and the definition of speech in Court rulings, Bezanson focuses on the fundamental questions underlying the discussion of art as… [detailed...]

Art and Innovation: The Xerox PARC Artist-in-Residence Program (Leonardo Books)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The idea behind Xerox`s interdisciplinary Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is simple: if you put creative people in a hothouse setting, innovation will naturally emerge. PARC`s Artist-in-Residence Program (PAIR) brings artists who use new media to PARC and pairs them with researchers who often use the same media, though in different contexts. This is radically different from most corporate support of the arts, where there is little intersection between the disciplines. The result is both interesting art and new scientific innovations. Art and Innovation explores the unique process that grew from this pairing of new media artists and scientists working at the frontier of developing technologies. In addition to discussing specific works created during several long-term residencies, the artists and researchers reveal the similarities and differences in their approaches and perspectives as they engage each other in a search for new methods for communication and creativity. … [detailed...]

He surveys and assesses a wide rangeof rival assumptions about the nature of intentions and the status of intentionalist psychology. With detailed reference to examples from diverse media, art forms, and traditions, he demonstrates that insights into the multiple functions of intentions have important implications for our understanding of artistic creation and authorship, the ontology of art, conceptions of texts, works, and versions, basic issues pertaining to the nature of fiction and fictional truth, and the theory of art interpretationand appreciation. Livingston argues that neither the inspirationist nor rationalistic conceptions can capture the blending of deliberate and intentional, spontaneous and unintentional processes in the creation of art.

Essayists tackle issues confronting the museum community and seek to further the debate between theory and practice around the most pressing of contemporary concerns. [detailed...]
