Cai Guo-Qiang and Pompeii
Author: Jerome Neutres
Publisher: Silvana Editoriale
ISBN: 9788836640591
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Cai Guo-Qiang, a Chinese artist known throughout the world for his exciting performances with fire, presents in this volume the works created in Naples as part of the project "In the Volcano". With these works, resulting from his "explosion workshop", the artist created a short circuit between our present and the memories of ancient Rome.0Cai Guo-Qiang, as a modern Prometheus, plays with his mastery in dominating the fire, and drawing on the powerful and suggestive traditions of the oriental world he crafts pyrotechnic works and performances with which he invites us to rediscover the inescapable bonds between the classical past and the modern sensibility, and in particular between the explosion that in 79 A.D. destroyed Pompei - paradoxically preserving it for us - and artistic creation.00Exhibition: Museo Archeologico, Naples, Italy (23.02-20.05.2019).

Antony Gormley

Publisher: Antony Gormley Studio
ISBN: 9782353770502
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
An insightful exploration of Antony Gormley's work and his lifelong engagement with Auguste Rodin Antony Gormley (b. 1950) is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations, and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. Tracing a dialogue between the influential British sculptor and Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), this book explores the work of two of the most well-known and respected sculptors of their respective times. This fascinating encounter is staged through extensive installation photography of Gormley's work within and around the Musée Rodin in Paris, never-before-seen drawings, workbooks, and models from the artist's studio, as well as Rodin's own sculptures, maquettes, and drawings. Seen together, it invites readers to reflect on the artists' shared investment in questioning what the body offers sculpture as a subject, object, and reflexive tool. Featuring new authoritative scholarship, as well as an insightful and wide-ranging conversation with Gormley, this beautifully illustrated volume documents the enduring impact of Rodin's work on Gormley. Exhibition Schedule: Musée Rodin, Paris (October 17, 2023-March 3, 2024)

Hans Op de Beeck
Author: Nicolas de Oliveira
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789461300348
Category : Artists' books
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This unique artist's book is the culmination of Hans Op de Beeck's long-term project "Sea of tranquillity". The ambitious publication includes film stills, texts, sculptures, watercolours and even a soundtrack (sung by Sandrine). In his familiar pictorial style - mildly surreal and resolutely critical - the artist confronts us with a large-scale but fictional luxury cruiser. This artificial city symbolises a postmodern society in which extreme luxury is accompanied by a moral vacuum. The book is conceived as a museum setting in which all the exponents of the engaging cruise irrevocably lead to perdition. On board we meet not only Eros and Thanatos, but also boredom, miscommunication and a hierarchial crew.

The Sacred Home in Renaissance Italy
Author: Abigail Brundin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192548476
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
The Sacred Home in Renaissance Italy explores the rich devotional life of the Italian household between 1450 and 1600. Rejecting the enduring stereotype of the Renaissance as a secular age, this interdisciplinary study reveals the home to have been an important site of spiritual revitalization. Books, buildings, objects, spaces, images, and archival sources are scrutinized to cast new light on the many ways in which religion infused daily life within the household. Acts of devotion, from routine prayers to extraordinary religious experiences such as miracles and visions, frequently took place at home amid the joys and trials of domestic life — from childbirth and marriage to sickness and death. Breaking free from the usual focus on Venice, Florence, and Rome, The Sacred Home investigates practices of piety across the Italian peninsula, with particular attention paid to the city of Naples, the Marche, and the Venetian mainland. It also looks beyond the elite to consider artisanal and lower-status households, and reveals gender and age as factors that powerfully conditioned religious experience. Recovering a host of lost voices and compelling narratives at the intersection between the divine and the everyday, The Sacred Home offers unprecedented glimpses through the keyhole into the spiritual lives of Renaissance Italians.
