Art & Physics
Author: Leonard Shlain
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks
ISBN: 9780061227974
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Art interprets the visible world. Physics charts its unseen workings. The two realms seem completely opposed. But consider that both strive to reveal truths for which there are no words––with physicists using the language of mathematics and artists using visual images. In Art & Physics, Leonard Shlain tracks their breakthroughs side by side throughout history to reveal an astonishing correlation of visions. From the classical Greek sculptors to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, and from Aristotle to Einstein, artists have foreshadowed the discoveries of scientists, such as when Monet and Cezanne intuited the coming upheaval in physics that Einstein would initiate. In this lively and colorful narrative, Leonard Shlain explores how artistic breakthroughs could have prefigured the visionary insights of physicists on so many occasions throughout history. Provicative and original, Art & Physics is a seamless integration of the romance of art and the drama of science––and an exhilarating history of ideas.

Installation art as experience of self, in space and time
Author: Christine Vial Kayser
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648892760
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Installation art has modified our relationship to art for over fifty years by soliciting the whole body, demonstrating its sensitivity to space, surroundings, and the living beings with which it is constantly interacting. This book analyses this modification of perception through phenomenological approaches convoking Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, as well as Levinas, Depraz, and the neuroscientist Varela. This theoretical framework is implicit in the various case studies which revisit works that have become classic or emblematic by Carl Andre, Bruce Nauman, Dan Graham; inaugural experiments that remain available only through photographic and written archives by Jean-Michel Sanejouand, Philippe Parreno, as well as the influence of the mode in the realm of music. The book also examines the transference of this Western form to Asia, revealing how it resonates with ancient Asian representations and practices—often associated with the spiritual. The distinct chapters underpin the role of space as a metaframe, the common ground of the various installations. While the nature and agency of space varies—from social, historical space, leisurely or political space, inner psychological space, to shared empty space—these installations reveal the chiasm between the individual body and the outside space. The chapters bear testimony of the process in which the physical journey of the spectator’s body within a material—at times invisible—space and its structural components takes place in time, as a succession of micro-experiences. ‘Installation art as experience of self, in space and time’ adds to the existing literature of art history a level of theoretical, experiential and transcultural analysis that will make this inquiry relevant to both university students and independent researchers in the academic fields of philosophy, psychology, aesthetics, art theory and history, religious and Asian studies.

The Art of Space
Author: Mary Cook
Publisher: Cognella Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9781626610095
Category : Interior decoration
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Like most fields called "creative," interior design has been fraught with mystery. People are led to believe that there's something magical about it, something that's simply beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. You've been led to believe that "only the professionals," "the high priests and priestesses" of creativity are qualified to tackle the ancient mysteries of design. Well, that's a myth, and many in the design industry are major promoters of the myth. The last thing a lot of designers want is for you to get a "look behind the curtain." Mary Cook is a nationally recognized interior designer. Her Chicago-based firm, Mary Cook Associates, has been delivering award-winning interior design for commercial and residential clients for more than 25 years. In the midst of her company's growth, something happened. Mary Cook Associates began to get more and more calls to "fix" interiors that had just been completed by someone else, but somehow didn't "feel right" to the clients or the people using them. In analyzing the problems, somewhere after the twentieth fix, Mary had the epiphany that led to her revolutionary synthesis of the principles of interior design. She managed to distill all successful interior design into the seven fundamentals that are now collectively known as "The Art of Space." In her new book, "The Art of Space," each of the seven fundamentals is explained and also demonstrated in scores of beautiful, enlightening and inspiring photographs that illustrate exactly how the elements really work. This book will not miraculously transform you into a professional designer. But, it will help you develop the abilities you have so you can grow, participate and enjoy the process and the benefits of successful interior design. There is something magical about interior design. But now, Mary Cook has demystified the process, making it accessible and understandable to everyone from the serious student of design to the adventurous homeowner. Thanks to "The Art of Space," you get to "look behind the curtain" and experience the magic yourself. Learn more at http://www.artofspace.us

Public Art Encounters
Author: Martin Zebracki
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317073835
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Public art is produced and ‘lived’ within multiple, interlaced and contested political, economic, social and cultural-symbolic spheres. This lively collection is a mix of academic and practice-based writings that scrutinise conventional claims on the inclusiveness of public art practice. Contributions examine how various social differences, across class, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, ability and literacy, shape encounters with public art within the ambits of the design, regeneration and everyday experiences of public spaces. The chapters richly draw on case studies from the Global North and South, providing comprehensive insights into the experiences of encountering public art via a variety of scales and realms. This book advances critical insights of how socially practised public arts articulate and cultivate geographies of social difference through the themes of power (the politics of encountering), affect (the embodied ways of encountering), and diversity (the inclusiveness of encountering). It will appeal to scholars, students and practitioners of cultural geography, the visual arts, urban studies, political studies and anthropology.

The Beauty of Space Art
Author: Jon Ramer
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030493598
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Long before humans wrote, we painted. From mud and ash to acrylic and computers, artists across the centuries have found countless inventive ways to explore and express some of life’s biggest mysteries. Enter space art, a genre of artistic expression that strives to capture the wonders of our universe. This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the remarkable development of space art from a fledgling theme to a modern movement. In Part I, we traverse the history of art and astronomy from ancient times, through the Industrial Revolution, and into the 20th-century Space Age. Part II delves into the diverse techniques and subgenres of space art, where you will learn about things like rocks and balls, hardware art, and cosmic expressionism. Along the way, we’ll stop at places where neither humans nor spacecraft can easily go, from the scorching surface of Venus and the radiation-soaked volcanoes of Io to the alien terrain of exoplanets and the depths of distant galaxies. Featuring hundreds of original color images from space artists and astronomers alike, this book is a vivid visual story about the power of art, astronomy, and human curiosity. A heavily revised edition of the original Beauty of Space, it will entertain, educate, and inspire anybody who yearns to make sense of the strange and surreal sights in our universe.

Space, Image, and Reform in Early Modern Art
Author: Arthur J. DiFuria
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 1501513486
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
The essays in Space, Image, and Reform in Early Modern Art build on Marcia Hall’s seminal contributions in several categories crucial for Renaissance studies, especially the spatiality of the church interior, the altarpiece’s facture and affectivity, the notion of artistic style, and the controversy over images in the era of Counter Reform. Accruing the advantage of critical engagement with a single paradigm, this volume better assesses its applicability and range. The book works cumulatively to provide blocks of theoretical and empirical research on issues spanning the function and role of images in their contexts over two centuries. Relating Hall’s investigations of Renaissance art to new fields, Space, Image, and Reform expands the ideas at the center of her work further back in time, further afield, and deeper into familiar topics, thus achieving a cohesion not usually seen in edited volumes honoring a single scholar.

The Art of Space
Author: Ron Miller
Publisher: Zenith Press
ISBN: 9780760346563
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Art of Space is the most comprehensive celebration of space art ever to be published, profiling the development of space-based art in a variety of media. In The Art of Space, award-winning artist and best-selling author Ron Miller presents over 350 high-quality and often photorealistic images that chart how artists throughout history, working with the knowledge and research available during their time, have endeavored to construct realistic images of visions throughout the universe. Beginning with depictions of space ships, unmanned probes, and space stations, Miller moves through collections that also illustrate the planets, moons, galaxies, and stars; cities, colonies, and space habitats; and possible alien life. The artwork presented here has been created in a variety of media, from the woodcuts and oil paintings of the Victorian and Edwardian eras to the digitally enhanced work of contemporary artists. Each chapter also includes two special features: one profile of an artist or group of artists of particular influence and one sidebar discussion of general cultural topics, such as the use of space art for propaganda purposes during the Cold War or the impact of the digital revolution on the resources available to artists. A fascinating study on the intersection of science and the artistic imagination, The Art of Space shows how astronomy and space travel has been reflected in popular art and public perception over the past two centuries. With forewords from Carolyn Porco and Dan Durda, this book is the ultimate resource for space art fans.
