The Mantle of the Earth
Author: Veronica della Dora
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022674132X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
The term mantle has inspired philosophers, geographers, and theologians and shaped artists’ and mapmakers’ visual vocabularies for thousands of years. According to Veronica della Dora, mantle is the “metaphor par excellence, for it unfolds between the seen and the unseen as a threshold and as a point of tension.” Featuring numerous illustrations, The Mantle of the Earth: Genealogies of a Geographical Metaphor is an intellectual history of the term mantle and its metaphorical representation in art and literature, geography and cartography. Through the history of this metaphor from antiquity to the modern day, we learn about shifting perceptions and representations of global space, about our planetary condition, and about the nature of geography itself.

Alighiero & Boetti
Author: Alighiero Boetti
Publisher: Mondadori Electa
ISBN: 9788837068424
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
La mostra e il catalogo illustrano il metodo creativo di Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994), un artista "singolare" che nel tempo à ̈ riuscito a diventare "plurale", cambiando nel 1972 il proprio nome in Alighieroamp;Boetti. Torinese d'origine, à ̈ stato tra i piÃ1 importanti esponenti del movimento Arte povera e dell'Arte Concettuale. Nel corso della sua vita si avvicina a molteplici discipline dalla musica alla matematica, dalla filosofia all'esoterismo, dalle culture africane a quelle del Medio ed Estremo Oriente, verso le quali compie molti dei suoi viaggi. Ogni progetto artistico ha sempre al centro un primo momento di ideazione, svolto singolarmente dell'artista, e poi concretizzato, materializzato e diffuso attraverso un'elaborazione a piÃ1 mani nella quale gli esecutori non sono semplice manovalanza ma artefici. Boetti dà vita a un concetto di creatività diffusa: l'artista dà i suoi input al corpo sociale che raccogliendoli si fa artefice, confermando un rapporto di scambio e di complice dignità . Il percorso della mostra intende sottolineare il nomadismo culturale ed esistenziale di un artista che à ̈ riuscito a sdoppiarsi iconograficamente in Alighieroamp;Boetti e attraverso l'opera, mediante il momento esecutivo, a ricongiungersi con il mondo. Per questo il titolo della mostra à ̈ "Mettere all'arte il mondo": indica l'attitudine di un grande artista che ha voluto far socializzare la propria creatività , sviluppando come metodo l'interattività e la comunicazione dell'arte nella società di massa.

Color Chart
Author: Ann Temkin
Publisher: The Museum of Modern Art
ISBN: 9780870707315
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Color Chart celebrates a paradox: the lush beauty that results when contemporary artists assign colour decisions to chance, readymade source or arbitrary system. Midway through the 20th century, long-held convictions regarding the spiritual truth or scientific validity of particular colours gave way to an excitement about colour as a mass-produced and standardized commercial product. The Romantic quest for personal expression instead became Andy Warhol's 'I want to be a machine'; the artistry of mixing pigments was eclipsed by Frank Stella's 'Straight out of the can; it can't get better than that'. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, is the first devoted to this pivotal transformation, and features work by some forty artists ranging from Ellsworth Kelly and Gerhard Richter to Sherrie Levine and Damien Hirst.

The Aestheticization of History and the Butterfly Effect
Author: Nancy Wellington Bookhart
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648897924
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
'The Aestheticization of History and the Butterfly Effect: Visual Arts Series' introduces the audience to philosophical concepts that broach the beginning of the history of Western thought in Plato and Aristotle to that of more modern thought in the theoretician Jacques Rancière in which the main conceptual framework of this anthology is predicated. The introduction is mainly concerned with Rancière’s concept of the distribution of the sensible, which is the arrangement of things accessible to our senses, what we experience in real-time and space— compartmentalization and categorization of all things. These things do not just involve tangible items, but audible speech, written language, and visibilities. Rancière’s theory of the regimes of art is undertaken as the unfolding of the distribution. Such is evoked in the various genres of visual art forms, from two-dimensional paintings to three-dimensional sculptures and architectures. Understanding the aesthetic regime of art is crucial for grasping how art performs time travel. One way of understanding this phenomenon is in terms of embodied philosophy imbued vis-à-vis art forms, which are subsequently challenged by contemporary artists. The contributing essays examine these reiterations, reevaluations—performances. Aesthetics is a term deriving from the 18th-century European Enlightenment. It is here that aesthetics as the study of beauty is probed for its political potential after the failure of the French Revolution. Many major thinkers during this period signed on to the aesthetic moment, recognizing that Reason in its present state failed to develop humankind beyond barbarism. J.E.B. Stuart's statue is part of an equestrian theme that approximates the Western canon of power and class in the pursuit of domination. But such power and domination will be dethroned in the restaging of history and the redistribution of said canon. This reimagining of the form not only alters perception but constitutes a new narrative.
