Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A collection of Black American artist Glenn Ligon's groundbreaking text-based paintings American artist Glenn Ligon is best known for his landmark text-based paintings, which draw on the influential writings and speeches of twentieth-century historical and cultural figures, including James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, and Gertrude Stein. Glenn Ligon serves as an introduction to the artist's oeuvre and accompanies a major exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in which his art is displayed in dialogue with objects from the Fitzwilliam and Trinity College collections selected by the artist himself. Informed by his experiences as a Black man living in New York, Ligon's art is a sustained meditation on issues of interpretation through translation and quotation, the role of the past in the present, and the representation of the self in relation to culture and history, both as the conceptual underpinning and as a critique of modern society. His incisive text-based paintings, made since the late 1980s, highlight the social, linguistic, and political constructions of race, gender, and sexuality. By exploring Ligon's curatorial practice alongside his artworks, the exhibition showcases the ideas of one of the most significant Black artists working today in direct dialogue with museological tradition. Issues such as art making and aesthetics, as well as broader questions about race and its sociopolitical implications, are further developed in the catalogue, which includes essays and conversations between Ligon and a range of museum curators. American artist Glenn Ligon (b. 1960) is best known for his landmark text-based paintings, which draw on the influential writings and speeches of twentieth-century historical and cultural figures including James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston and Gertrude Stein.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Tom de Freston (born 1983) is a British artist and writer, living and working in Oxford. He graduated from Cambridge University in 2007\. De Freston's multimedia art tackles themes of trauma, humanity and intimacy across paintings, films and performance. He builds rich visual narratives, drawing on literature, art history and social issues. A prolific author, Granta published de Freston's debut non-fiction book, _Wreck_, in 2022 and his second will be released in 2024\. _Julia and the Shark_ (Hachette, 2021), created with his wife Kiran Millwood Hargrave, won the Waterstones Children's Gift of the Year and was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Children's Writing on Nature and Conservation. De Freston was chosen to illustrate the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of David Almond's _Skellig_, published in 2023. _I Saw This_ was born out of a collaboration between de Freston, filmmaker Mark Jones and Dr Ali Souleman after de Freston was introduced to the academic in 2017\. The paintings and mixed-media works that resulted from the project are an exploration into Souleman's experiences of terrorism, displacement and war in Syria and ruminate on how art can attempt to represent suffering and terror. In 1996, a bomb explosion in Damascus on New Year's Eve nearly killed Souleman and left him blind. A sensitive and highly-charged topic, Souleman explained to de Freston the importance of engaging with what is happening in Syria. Disembodied mouths, hands and feet appear frequently in the works. Circles recur as a motif, which bear an uncomfortable resemblance to eyes and eye sockets. In the Mirror paintings which stand upright in black boxes, de Freston embeds ash, screws, thick glue, dirt and bits of wood into the canvas. They are corporeal and volcanic, visceral and abstract. The sense of molten heat in the paintings was compounded by a fire in de Freston's studio in 2020, which was simultaneously destructive while giving the artist and the collaboration new momentum. The collaborative process involves de Freston describing the paintings to Souleman through words and touch. Souleman brings fresh meaning to the works, grounding them in his psychological landscape. Mark Jones captures these interactions in striking photographs and film footage.Habda Rashid, Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at Kettle's Yard and the Fitzwilliam Museum, introduces _I Saw This_ and considers the challenges of incorporating elements from real life. Journalist Yasmina Floyer's contribution describes her reaction to de Freston's work at his 2022 exhibition _From Darkness_ at No 20 Arts, London, where she found that the sooty-black feet stencils and inky circles depicted resonated with her own experience of child loss. The moving text shows how de Freston's art carries both specific and universal meanings. Editor Matt Price focuses on de Freston's paintings, structuring his essay with fascinating quotes from Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri, the eleventh-century blinded.…

Trade Paperback. Condizione: New. This important publication--the first comprehensive survey of the filmmaker's influential oeuvre--surveys the entirety of Chris Marker's prolific career and considers his lasting influence on contemporary artists and filmmakers. It charts Marker's unique commentaries on societies at times of upheaval, from his early writing and photography to his later use of CD-ROM and appropriation of web technology. Integrating his films within the display, it also brings together for the first time all of Marker's multimedia installations. Alongside a wealth of images that chart Marker's substantial creative output, 'Chris Marker: A Grin Without a Cat' also explores through essays the filmmaker's shift from word to image, the commissioning of his multimedia installations and the subsequent interplay of media. In addition, it includes the first translations of texts from key Marker scholars, as well as the only English translation of Marker's own writing.Director, writer, photographer, multimedia artist and film essayist, Chris Marker (1921-2012) began his career in film and journalism after the Second World War (during which he was a member of the Resistance). In 1952, Marker made his first film, 'Olympia 52,' and soon became affiliated with the Left Bank Cinema movement that included filmmakers such as Alain Resnais and Agnes Varda. In 1962 he made his best-known film, 'La Jetee,' which won him an international audience. His most ambitious film, 'A Grin Without a Cat' (1977), compares the promise of the global socialist movement before May 1968 (the grin) with its actual activities after May 1968 (the cat). (When asked for a picture of himself, the famously reclusive Marker usually offered a photograph of a cat instead.) Marker's acclaimed film 'Sans Soleil' (1983) heralded his deep interest in digital technology, further evidenced by the 1998 CD-ROM 'Immemory.' Marker died on his 91st birthday, in 2012.…
