Book Description
German painter David Ostrowski (born 1981) widens his spectrum of meditations on the color red with The Thin Red Line. Ostrowski has long experimented with chromatic hues on white or neutral background, but it took him almost a decade to go back to investigating the scarlet shade--a coloring bearing social and cultural implications, besides playing a fundamental part on the history of painting. Made using found material and canvases painted with acrylic and lacquer, Ostrowski's recent work are an exploration of the absence and presence of the color. Published on the occasion of the same-titled solo show, the artist's first with Sprüth Magers in London, in collaboration with Karma Books, the catalog--characterized by a red Pantone that changes its tone when printed on the pages made of three different papers, mirroring the artist's chromatic research--is to be considered as further piece of the exhibition, featuring a series of texts Ostrowski commissioned from writers and academics, with the word "red" as the only instruction.

Pages : 92
Book Description
The instruments in David Ostrowski's work, beside the canvas itself, are spray paint or materials such as paper, strips of wood, newspapers or cardboard, which he finds in his studio. Often found materials, for instance a piece of cardboard with paint residue, or a single spray-painted line, find their way onto the canvas. Even the dust which the canvas absorbs from lying on the studio floor becomes an element of the composition. When Ostrowski talks about the act of painting, he mentions the inclusion of the error, injecting itself into the work coincidentally and uncontrollably in equal measure, ultimately determining the composition. Exhibition: Kunstraum Innsbruck, Austria (11.04-13.06.2015).

The Turn to Provisionality in Contemporary Art
Author: Raphael Rubinstein
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350243728
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
In his influential essay “Provisional Painting,” Raphael Rubinstein applied the term “provisional” to contemporary painters whose work looked intentionally casual, dashed-off, tentative, unfinished or self-cancelling; who appeared to have deliberately turned away from "strong" painting for something that seemed to constantly risk failure or inconsequence. In this collection of essays, Rubinstein expands the scope of his original article by surveying the historical and philosophical underpinnings of provisionality in recent visual art, as well as examining the works of individual artists in detail. He also engages crucial texts by Samuel Beckett and philosopher Gianni Vattimo. Re-examining several decades of painting practices, Rubinstein argues that provisionality, in all its many forms, has been both a foundational element in the history of modern art and the encapsulation of an attitude that is profoundly contemporary.

The Artist's Estate
Author: Dr. Loretta Würtenberger
Publisher: Hatje Cantz Verlag
ISBN: 3775752048
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Andy Warhol bequeathed us the words "Death can really make you look like a star." But death per se is not a catalyst for the relevance of an artist. What is of crucial importance is the proper management structure for the posthumous preservation and development of an artistic estate. The handbook by Loretta Würtenberger presents the possible legal framework, appropriate financing models, as well as the proper handling of the market, museums, and academia. Her business, Fine Art Partners, has advised artists and artists' estates for many years in their structuring and development of estate concepts as well as in operative questions. Based on numerous international examples, the author explains the different alternatives for maintaining an artist's estate and makes recommendations on how to ideally handle work, archives, and mementos following the death of an artist.

Author: Robert F Dorr
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1782008357
Category : History

Pages : 202
Book Description
Featuring photography and colour profiles throughout, a history of the bomber that shaped the Pacific War. The ultimate piston-engined heavy bomber of World War 2, the first production B-29s were delivered to the 58th Very Heavy Bomb Wing in the autumn of 1943. By the spring of 1944 the Superfortress was bombing targets in the Pacific, and by war's end the aircraft had played as great a part as any weapon in ending the conflict with the Japanese. Indeed, the final dropping of two atomic bombs from the B-29 convinced the Japanese to sue for peace.

The Microgrid Revolution
Author: Mahesh P. Bhave Ph.D.
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440833168
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
What kinds (according to U.S. News & World Report) of clean electricity initiatives—ones that make sense on public policy and business strategy levels—could overcome the hurdles in shifting away from the entrenched electricity and petroleum-based transport industries in the United States? This book explores the tremendous opportunities of the new electricity revolution that looks to threaten the century-old business models of our existing power production infrastructure. The electricity industry, having been in place for more than 100 years, has established tremendous power and influence. But as solar- and wind-based energy businesses gain small footholds and expand their impact, the incumbent electricity businesses face fundamental challenges that threaten their century-old business models. Will technological advances and the motivation to control climate change finally effect a revolution in the electricity markets? This unique book proposes public policy- and business strategy-level initiatives that could overcome the structural impediments that prevail in the current electricity industries and predicts the important changes to come in the immediate and distant future. In The Microgrid Revolution: Business Strategies for Next-Generation Electricity, author Mahesh P. Bhave explains the current state of electricity production, identifies its widespread problems, and proposes a specific approach and particular solution to the puzzle of supplying clean energy for the 21st-century world. The introductory chapters lay the groundwork for the author's provocative thesis, and the concluding chapters elaborate on it with broad implications. By examining the subject material from the perspectives of public policy and regulatory concerns, corporate strategy, industry structure changes, innovation, and climate change as well as from a technological angle, readers from diverse industries and professional backgrounds will be able to understand how the coming electricity revolution is something we all have the power to influence.

Religiosity and Work in the Lives of Mortuary College Students
Author: Charles Lynn Gibson
Publisher: Universal-Publishers
ISBN: 1599422972
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
The study investigated the failure to integrate faith in daily work--a multifaceted problem important for interdisciplinary studies in religion and society. The Purpose in Life (PIL) test and the Engagement in Meaningful Work Scale (EMWS) were used to research how religious faith impacted work perceptions of mortuary college students. Students from Gupton-Jones College of Funeral Service in Atlanta, Georgia and John A. Gupton College in Nashville, Tennessee were chosen as the respondents. The following research question was examined: What were the effects of religiosity on mortuary college student perceptions of purpose in life and the engagement in meaningful work? The study identified four facets of religiosity for observation: (1) belief, (2) attitude, (3) practice, and (4) group experience. The primary research objectives examined the variables of denominational preference, Christian affirmation, favorability toward the institutional church, active church membership, the number of religious disciplines practiced, and involvement in church activities. Secondary objectives of the study examined the demographics of age, gender, educational attainment, and experience in funeral service work. Two hypotheses with ten corollaries for each hypothesis were tested-- eight with a Kruskal-Wallis procedure, ten with a Mann-Whitney U procedure, and two with a Spearman's Rank Correlation procedure. Six independent variables demonstrated a significant relationship with PIL values--funeral service experience, denominational preference, Christian affirmation, active church membership, the number of religious disciplines practiced, and the involvement in church activities. Six variables demonstrated a significant or practically significant relationship with EMWS values--funeral service experience, denominational preference, favorability toward the institutional church, active church membership, the number of religious disciplines practiced, and the involvement in church activities. Conclusions drawn from the findings of the study had important implications for the fields of religion, psychology, business administration, and funeral service.
