Book Description
In his film work, Jesper Just links images of an exceptional quality to sound and music. Enigmas disrupt the narrative, creating a poetry-liberating tension. The artist leaves spectators with their own doubts and emotions. The work conceived for the Palais de Tokyo consists of an audiovisual installation and a spatial intervention, which transforms both the space and the visitor’s journey. The One World Trade Center, an iconic and controversial skyscraper, is as much the scene of the films, as a character in itself. It functions as a phantom limb, while also standing for resilience. The films follow two characters: a young girl, who is not an individual but embodies the ideals of youth and feminity conveyed today, and a disabled child. The characters mirror, oppose and interact, to explore themes of ableism and agency as well as the boundaries of body and selfhood. Book contents - “Servitudes”: Jesper Just in conversation with Katell Jaffrès, curator of Jesper Just’s exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo - “In The Doubling of Dreams”: an essay by Fabien Danesi on Jesper Just’s film work - Notes on a selection of the artist’s films About the authors - Fabien Danesi is an art historian. He’s managing the programme of the Pavillon Neuflize OBC, the research lab of the Palais de Tokyo. - Katell Jaffrès is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. Published on the occasion of Jesper Just’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, “Servitudes”, 24.06 2015 – 13.09 2015

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.

Touch in the Time of Corona
Author: Henriette Steiner
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311074483X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
A chronicle, a memoir, a reflection on the pandemic, and a cultural analysis of the new spatial, social, and epistemological forms that have arisen with it, this volume weaves together cultural history, aesthetics, and urban and digital studies. It looks at the particular ways in which the possibilities for touch, touching and being touched, both physically and affectively, are reconfigured by the pandemic. How are love, care, and humanity’s complex relationships with technology and nature played out in the interval between abandoned city centres and digitally mediated gatherings? How can we comprehend the reconfiguration of relationships through the human response to the pandemic as an experience that concerns us all but affects each of us in different ways? How do we think through the technological and material dependencies that the pandemic situation establishes? And how does this allow us to imagine the world beyond the pandemic—both utopian and dystopian? The essays in this book explore the new forms of intimacy and distance that are developing in the wake of COVID-19, offering a distinctive, topical analysis in the fields of urban and digital studies.

Atmospheres of Projection
Author: Giuliana Bruno
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226817474
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Bringing together cultural history, visual studies, and media archaeology, Bruno considers the interrelations of projection, atmosphere, and environment. Projection has long been transforming space, from shadow plays to camera obscuras and magic lantern shows. Our fascination with projection is alive on the walls of museums and galleries and woven into our daily lives. Giuliana Bruno explores the histories of projection and atmosphere in visual culture and their continued importance to contemporary artists who are reinventing the projective imagination with atmospheric thinking and the use of elemental media. To explain our fascination with projection and atmosphere, Bruno traverses psychoanalysis, environmental philosophy, architecture, the history of science, visual art, and moving image culture to see how projective mechanisms and their environments have developed over time. She reveals how atmosphere is formed and mediated, how it can change, and what projection can do to modify a site. In so doing, she gives new life to the alchemic possibilities of transformative projective atmospheres. Showing how their “environmentality” produces sites of exchange and relationality, this book binds art to the ecology of atmosphere.

Arctic Revelation
Author: Dr. Hugh Finch
Publisher: New London Publishing LLC
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
“...a true masterpiece.” -OnlineBookClub.org “...a mindblowing psychological thriller.” -Discovery Reviews “...this is a thriller …concept, action and danger pay dividends …the reader can’t resist going forward to find out how it all connects.” -Kirkus Reviews -Dr. Finch donates over half of all his royalties to support mental health awareness, opioid crisis relief, and veterans with PTSD. He is forever thankful for the support that saved him after a traumatic childhood and is committed to paying it forward. "Arctic Revelation" by Dr. Hugh Finch is a captivating psychological thriller that masterfully weaves together suspense, mystery, and paranormal elements into an engaging narrative. Drawing deeply from Dr. Finch's personal experiences in Scandinavia and academia, this debut novel provides a unique glimpse into the cultural mysteries of Denmark, a country renowned for being one of the world’s best countries to live and home to some of the happiest people on earth. The story revolves around Christian Yates, a character shaped by a traumatic childhood event leading to his father's death, amnesia, and a frustraiting nervous tics. As an Assistant Professor in psychology, his promising career faces threats from a manipulative department chair and a patient with an unprecedented case of multiple personality disorder. Amidst these challenges, Christian becomes the target of a sinister serial killer, 'The Surgeon', pulling him into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Set against the contrasting backdrops of a tranquil Rhode Island university and the mystical landscapes of Denmark, Greenland, and Switzerland, the novel takes the reader on an exhilarating chase for the truth. Christian's quest leads him to Greenland's icy terrains, in search of an ancient psychotropic elixir lost in the vast seas of time. This elixir is not just a key to healing Christian's psyche but also a gateway to unlocking primal human memories, presenting him with a life-altering choice. Finch's novel is praised for its unique blend of speculative science and murder mystery, touching upon themes like psychedelic-assisted therapy, Danish culture, the opioid crisis, life in academia, repressed trauma, the plight of Indigenous peoples, and the pressing issue of climate change. The early chapters set the stage for Christian's background, alternating between his present-day struggles and past encounters, including the traumatic incident that leads to a patient's murder, for which Christian is initially blamed. As Christian delves deeper into his research on ancestral memories, the plot thickens with international intrigue, involving a Danish pharmaceutical company with dubious intentions and a series of disguises and deceptions by various characters, including The Surgeon. The narrative builds to a climactic revelation culminating in a shocking 'whodunit' conclusion that has kept even the most seasoned readers captivated and guessing right till the end.
