FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 240 pp. -- with a bonus offer--; With the emergence of conceptual art in the mid-1960s the traditional notion of the studio became at least partly obsolete. Other sites emerged for the generation of art leading to the idea of "post-studio practice." But the studio never went away; it was continually reinvented in response to new realities. This collection expanding on current critical interest in issues of production and situation looks at the evolution of studio--and "post-studio"--practice over the last half century. In recent decades many artists have turned their studios into offices from which they organize a multiplicity of operations and interactions. Others use the studio as a quasi-exhibition space or work on a laptop computer--mobile flexible and ready to follow the next commission. Among the topics surveyed here are the changing portrayal and experience of the artist's role since 1960; the diversity of current studio and post-studio practice; the critical strategies of artists who have used the studio situation as the subject or point of origin for their work; the insights to be gained from archival studio projects; and the expanded field of production that arises from responding to new conditions in the world outside the studio. The essays and artists' statements in this volume explore these questions with a focus on examining the studio's transition from a workshop for physical production to a space with potential for multiple forms of creation and participation. . 2012. 0262517612 .

If the cinema of the 1950s and 60s sublimated the fear of atomic catastrophe or communist attack into interplanetary drama the more recent work collected here uses elements of that retro sci-fi world as powerful metaphors for our deep-seated fears of the Other the foreigner--the increasingly frequently decried "invasion" of immigrants or just the presence of people of different skin colors and beliefs. Among the 12 international contemporary artists showcased are Laylah Ali Kori Newkirk and Yinka Shonibare. They and their compatriots explore themes of otherness and difference in film sculpture painting photography and installation. Their interplanetary visitors--which might be built from Christmas ornaments like Marepe's untitled creature or sewn from African cloth like Shonibare's "Dysfunctional Family"--are illustrated alongside film stills and posters from the 1950s and 60s a glossary of alien names from those films several thoughtful essays and interviews with the participating artists. A timely ambitious and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between fiction race and contemporary art. . 2007. 377571944X . Hatje Cantz hardcover

Before Galella celebrity photographs were tightly controlled by the Hollywood studio system and PR agencies; after him shots of stars caught unawares whether stumbling out of night clubs drunk or just shopping for groceries became part and parcel of how we perceive the rich and famous. "My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous" Andy Warhol once said. "It's being in the right place at the wrong time. That's why my favorite photographer is Ron Galella." Some of Gallela's most famous photographs include covertly or spontaneously snatched portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy Marlon Brando Greta Garbo Andy Warhol Sean Penn Robert Redford Muhammad Ali Madonna Mick Jagger and Audrey Hepburn; often he has paid a high price for these photographs having been assaulted most famously by Marlon Brando and taken to court his pursuit of Jackie Kennedy was so obsessive and relentless that she took out a restraining order. Other celebrities such as Warhol and Elizabeth Taylor who used his photographs in her biography have welcomed his attention. This volume presents more than 100 of his controversial photographs from the past half-century. . 2012. 3775733248 . Hatje Cantz paperback

But outside the lab Herzog also devoted himself to what was at the time an unusual and even frowned-upon medium at least artistically: color photography. Laboring away as a virtually anonymous pioneer in this field some 20 years before William Eggleston's watershed show at the Museum of Modern Art Herzog was quietly documenting in rich Kodachrome the streets of Vancouver: its supermarkets gas stations bars urban scenery and above all its working class culture. Herzog used slide film to make his photographs which limited his ability to exhibit them and further marginalized his work; but in recent decades happily this color pioneer has drawn great acclaim and this volume the largest Herzog monograph yet published does marvelous justice to his rich oeuvre. . 2011. 3775728112 .

The birth of the Vienna Secession was brought about by collaboration among numerous painters sculptors and architects including Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann. For more than twenty years these pioneering figures mutually influenced each other as they created lasting monuments to the principles of artistic freedom. Published in conjuction with an exhibition commemorating the centennial of one of the pair's greatest accomplishments-the Stoclet Palace in Brussels-this book centers on the collaboration as a means of exploring the modernist movement at the turn of the century. Essays on Hoffmann's designs for the 1900 Paris World's Fair; the creation of the iconic Ver Sacrum building; the 1909 Internationale Kunstschau exhibition; and the history of the Stoclet Palace trace the rise of one of Europe's most fertile artistic eras. Readers will also learn about the role played by other prominent artists such as George Minne Fernand Khnopff Jan Toorop and Frank Brangwyn as they explore the interplay of ideas that marked this important moment in western art. . 2012. 3791351494 .

Over the course of his four-decade-plus career in photography Berndt has erased the routine divide between spontaneous documentary photography and Conceptual artwork. Berndt first achieved public acclaim with his now-famous work Combat Zone 1967-1970 which documented life in Boston's red-light district. At the beginning of the 1970s Berndt pitched commercial iconography of the day-to-day world against the psychology of nocturnal moods with the project Nite Works a series of night-time shots of American and European cities. With his documentations of the anti-Vietnam War movement and of homelessness in America in the early 1980s Berndt put his finger on the unresolved conflicts of his country and photographed them unflinchingly always cutting directly to the emotional content of the subject at hand. Gathering these numerous projects Insight surveys Berndt's work from the 1960s to the 1980s--in single images sequences and series and almost exclusively in black-and-white." . 2008. 3865217257 .

Art Works: An exciting new series celebrating the vitality and diversity of art in the twenty-first century. If all the world is a stage then each of us is a performer. Every day we act out individual roles and take part in private and collective rituals handed down by society. In our relationships with others we hide behind masks and assumed personae; and when we interact with the objects spaces and environments around us we follow established patterns of behavior set down by history and convention playing out performances everywhere we turn. In such a world it is no surprise that the line between art and life is sometimes blurred. Arranged into themed "rooms" this book reflects a wide variety of artistic attitudes and practices. Some artists present collaborators as the living performing objects of their work while others turn the audience into the main protagonists in the creative process. Some artists transform themselves through disguise or by altering their surroundings in order to perform a new reality while others make everyday items into art by changing their function or context. Some artists explore the storytelling capacity of art but others present only cryptic fragments that leave the viewer to complete the narrative. Where some question the permanence of art by producing ephemeral or short-lived pieces others leave traces of their actions and yet others seek to freeze time in highly dramatized tableaux or hyperrealistic sculptures. For some artists performance offers the possibility of leaving the gallery environment altogether and enacting art in public on the street for everybody. All of the artists in this book use art to puzzle out the complicated ways in which performance plays a part in our daily experiences. All of them help us understand the world in which we live. 280 illustrations 232 in color. . 2005. 0500930066 . Thames & Hudson paperback

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 72 pp. ; 35 color illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Writing and painting have been intertwined throughout history but literature has of late become a diminished subject in the medium of painting which has looked more to history society and politics for inspiration. With Painting Between the Lines the CCA Wattis reinvigorates the relationship between these two fields by commissioning 14 contemporary artists to create works based on descriptions of paintings in historical and contemporary novels. Here art that until now has only existed in the mind's eye can now be seen as interpreted by the likes of Fred Tomaselli on Samuel Beckett's Watt and Marcel Dzama on Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore. Additional materials include images of first edition book covers and installation images from the accompanying exhibition. Enclosed in a slipcase the catalogue is itself a take on the library practice of rebinding classic books in hardcover. . 2012. 0980205530 . Artbook / D. A. P. (Distribution) hardcover

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 208 pages; 120 mostly color illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Throughout its long history and not just as the key aesthetic category for the Romantic Movement the sublime has created the necessary link between aesthetic and moral judgment offering the prospect of transcending the limits of measurement even imagination. The best of science makes genuine claims to the sublime. For in science as in art every day brings the entirely new the extreme and the unrepresentable. How does one depict negative mass for example or the folding of a protein that is contagious Can one capture emergent phenomena as they emerge Science is continually faced with describing that which is beyond. This book through contributions from nine prominent scholars tackles that challenge. The explorations within Beyond the Finite range from the images taken by the Hubble Telescope to David Bohm's quantum romanticism from Kant and Burke to a "downward spiraling infinity" of the 21st century sublime all lucid yet transcendent. Squarely positioned at the interface between science and art this volume's chapters capture a remarkable variety of perspectives with neuroscience chemistry astronomy physics film painting and music discussed in relation to the sublime experience topics surely to peak the interest of academics and students studying the sublime in various disciplines. . 2011. 019973769X .
