Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Fifty paintings, reproduced in color, by an international array of contemporary artists, show the aptness and relevance of painting in an era of uncertainty.In an age of global instability, the threat of chaos looms. Or is the threat more spectral than real? The fear of chaos may simply be our response to living in a world controlled by powerful forces beyond our understanding. Chaos and Awe demonstrates the aptness and relevance of painting as a medium for expressing the uncertainty of our era. It presents more than fifty paintings, by an international array of contemporary artists, that induce sensations of disturbance, curiosity, and expansiveness--the new sublime, derived not from the unfathomable mystery of nature but from the hidden and often insidious forces of culture. Essays by art historians and painters who write offer context and illumination.Chaos and Awe, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville, shows that painting's capacity to represent the liminal space between the real and the virtual allows it to portray the shifting ground of today's social imaginary. With suggestions of fragmentation, instability, and murkiness, these paintings enclose what seems to be (as Simon Morley writes in his essay) wholly unenclosable. The paintings presented offer visions of interconnected forces invisibly shaping contemporary global experience; portray theintractability of veiled racial animus and the phantoms of the past that continue to haunt the present; suggest, through semi-abstract languages, long-term conflicts played out through nationalism and extremism; depict the conjunction of cultures not as flashpoints but in terms of cross-fertilization and a new hybridity; convey the role of digital technology in intertwining knowledge and doubt; express the elusive nature of perception through floating forms, liquid, gas, flame, and light; and cast instability and chaos as opportunities to expand our perceptions of the connectedness of knowledge, intuition, and spirituality.PaintersFranz Ackermann, Ahmed Alsoudani, Ghada Amer, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Radcliffe Bailey, Ali Banisadr, Pedro Barbeito, Jeremy Blake, Matti Braun, Dean Byington, Hamlett Dobbins, Nogah Engler, Anoka Faruqee, Barnaby Furnas, Ellen Gallagher, Adrian Ghenie, Wayne Gonzales, Wade Guyton, Rokni Haerizadeh, Peter Halley, Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga, Rashid Johnson, Guillermo Kuitca, Heather Gwen Martin, Julie Mehretu, Jiha Moon, Wangechi Mutu, James Perrin, Neo Rauch, Matthew Ritchie, Rachel Rossin, Pat Steir, Barbara Takenaga, Dannielle Tegeder, Kazuki Umezawa, Charline von Heyl, Sarah Walker, Corinne Wasmuht, Sue WilliamsContributorsMedia Farzin Media Farzin is a writer, editor, and educator.

Binding is firm and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This catalog explores the psychological and social implications contained in the hybrid creatures and fantastic scenarios created by contemporary artists whose works will appear in the exhibition Fairy Tales, Monsters, and the Genetic Imagination, which opens at Nashville's Frist Center for the Visual Arts in February 2012. Curator Mark Scala's introductory essay focuses on anthropomorphism in the mythology, folklore, and art of many cultures as it contrasts with the dominant Western view of human exceptionalism. Scala also provides an art historical context, linking the visual fabulists of today to artists of the Romantic, Symbolist, and Surrealist periods who sought to transcend oppositions such as rationality and intuition, fear and desire, the physical and the spiritual. Discussing how artists adapt traditional stories to give mythic form to the very real dilemmas of contemporary life, Jack Zipes's "Fairy-Tale Collisions" centers on Paula Rego, Kiki Smith, and Cindy Sherman. From a generation of women who have attained prominence since the 1980s, these artists alter fairy-tale imagery to subvert or rewrite social roles and codes. In "Metamorphosis of the Monstrous," Marina Warner discusses works in the exhibition in the context of historical conceptions of monsters as expressions of alterity, bestiality, or sinfulness. Her reminder that contemporary monster images offer "a promise and a warning about the variety, heterogeneity, and possible combinations and recombinations in the order of things" sets the stage for Suzanne Anker's essay, punningly titled "The Extant Vamp (or the) Ire of It All: Fairy Tales and Genetic Engineering." Considering representations of hybrid bodies by Patricia Piccinini, Janaina Tschape, Saya Woolfalk, and others, which evoke imagined beings of the past as a way to envision the recombinant creatures that may lie in the future, Anker shows how artists explore the social, ethical, and future implications of biological design and enhanced evolution. Accompanying an exhibition of contemporary art in which depictions of marvelous creatures and fantastic narratives provide both chills and delights, the essays in Fairy Tales, Monsters, and the Genetic Imagination explore the meaning of this fabulist revival through the lenses of social and art history, literature, feminism, animal studies, and science.(Publisher).…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. An eye-opening collection from contemporary artists and authors about how art and technology can reimagine humanity?s relationship with nature and society.Shimmer?the apt name of both the highly-illustrated book and the exhibition it accompanies?offers a timely collection of essays by today?s key thinkers about art and technology. In this vital showcase that takes on some of the most salient questions of our time, authors and artists consider how a ?posthuman? perspective can help inspire new ways to confront crises like climate change, species extinction, technological manipulation, and social alienation.Here, you?ll find current thinking on interspecies entanglement, the role of dreams in imagining a post-anthropocentric world, a return to the interconnectivity found in prior (mostly Indigenous) technologies, and the power of enchantment. Examining both the advantages and dangers of twenty-first century tools, essayists explore the artistic use of quantum computing, machine learning, motion capture software, and augmented, extended, and virtual reality.Throughout this engaging collection, the authors show that, like the Surrealists of the twentieth century, many of today?s artists tap the transformative agency of the marvelous, the uncanny, and the unpredictable, destabilizing conventional patterns of thought to open new pathways to unexplored terrain.Artist profiles include Nancy Baker Cahill, Ian Cheng, Chalet Comellas, Anna Dumitriu and Alex May, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Libby Heaney, Marguerite Humeau, Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Kite, Katja Loher, Josefa Ntjam, Rachel Rossin, Jacolby Satterwhite, Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Saya Woolfalk, and Marina Zurkow.The exhibition Shimmer: Dreaming the Posthuman opens September 2026 at the Frist Museum in Nashville and in 2027 travels to the Media Majlis Museum of Northwestern University in Doha and the Palmer Museum of Art, Penn State.…
