Condizione: Fine. Used book that is in almost brand-new condition.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The practice of Chelsea School of Art and Goldsmiths College graduate Greg Rook (b.1971, London) explores the rich visual history, curious cultural politics and often complex ideologies of those who seek to start a new life or wish to lead alternative lifestyles. From pioneers travelling to new continents to those wanting to stay put and live self-sufficiently, Rook invites us to join him on his own aesthetic and critical journey through a world of colonies, communities, communes and cults.By means of figurative painting that pushes the boundaries between realism and lyricism, Rook captures something profoundly revealing in terms of the hopes, dreams and successes as well as the disappointments, disillusionment and disasters that radical departures from home life and mainstream society can entail. For some, utopias can turn to dystopias, the Romantic imaginary can turn to tragedy, the sublime can turn to misery. For those fleeing oppression, however, it can be completely the opposite - newfound freedom, affluence and happiness. Rook's oeuvre, which incorporates cowboys and communists, agrarians and anarchists, believers and book-burners, depicts how the relationship between people and land is regularly fraught with issues, especially when migration and a clash of mindsets or ways of life is involved. What are brave new worlds for some are threatened old worlds for others.This hardback publication, the first monograph to be devoted to the work of Greg Rook, has been co-published by Vento and Associati and Anomie to coincide with a substantial mid-career survey exhibition of the artist's work being staged by Vento and Associati at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan in spring 2019. Featuring approximately fifty illustrations of paintings and works on paper made by Rook since 2006, along with an introduction by London and Milan-based critic and curator Michele Robecchi and a significant newly commissioned essay by Matt Price, a leading voice in the field of contemporary British painting, the publication offers an engaging and pertinent commentary on Rook's long-standing painterly investigation into how people choose to live their lives.Vento and Associati is a Milan-based company operating in global contexts that specializes in strategic cultural communication within fields such as public affairs, corporate and social responsibility, and cultural fundraising.

Condizione: Como nuevo. : La obra de Greg Rook, graduado de Chelsea School of Art y Goldsmiths College (nacido en Londres en 1971), explora la rica historia visual, la curiosa política cultural y las ideologías a menudo complejas de aquellos que buscan comenzar una nueva vida o desean llevar estilos de vida alternativos. Desde pioneros que viajan a nuevos continentes hasta aquellos que desean quedarse quietos y vivir de forma autosuficiente, Rook nos invita a unirnos a él en su propio viaje estético y crítico a través de un mundo de colonias, comunidades, comunas y cultos. Mediante la pintura figurativa que empuja los límites entre el realismo y el lirismo, Rook captura algo profundamente revelador en términos de las esperanzas, los sueños y los éxitos, así como las decepciones, el desencanto y los desastres que las salidas radicales de la vida hogareña y la sociedad convencional pueden implicar. Para algunos, las utopías pueden convertirse en distopías, el imaginario romántico puede convertirse en tragedia, lo sublime puede convertirse en miseria. Sin embargo, para aquellos que huyen de la opresión, puede ser todo lo contrario: libertad, riqueza y felicidad recién descubiertas. La obra de Rook, que incorpora vaqueros y comunistas, agrarios y anarquistas, creyentes y quemadores de libros, representa cómo la relación entre las personas y la tierra está regularmente plagada de problemas, especialmente cuando la migración y un choque de mentalidades o formas de vida están involucrados. Lo que son mundos nuevos y valientes para algunos son mundos viejos amenazados para otros.
