Paperback. Condizione: New. Allen Jones RA's 52-page book On the Road: Parking Markings takes the reader on a graphic visual journey. by road."Since roads were first bisected by a white line, a pictorial language has evolved that, in classic parlance, is the first or Primitive phase in ever-developing visual vocabulary," says Jo…nes. "Parking markings were introduced during my final years as a student. Produced with stencils, these marks are enlivened by human error and chance."Because of increasing traffic during the 1960s a change was needed. Yellow represented a new and Classical phase, telling us what we should NOT do," the artist continues. "Familiarity breeds contempt and by the 1990s the problem required desperate measures. Red, the colour of danger, anger and hell marked a third, Baroque phase in the developing language of road marking."During the 1950s we were asked politely - in white. During the 1960s we were told - in yellow. During the 1990s we were shouted at - in red. Now the air - is blue."Jones was elected a Royal Academician in 1986. He is one of Britain's most distinguished artists from the pioneering Pop Movement, whose paintings and sculptures are held in many important international collections, including: Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, the Museum of 20th-Century Art in Vienna, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.On the Road: Parking Markings is one of a collection of four artist's books by Allen Jones that Black Dog Press is releasing in September 2022.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Abolition of War explores the ideas that inform Krzysztof Wodiczko's project The World Institute for the Abolition of War and is a manifesto for the dismantling of what Wodiczko sees as the ubiquitous, unconscious, and ultimately perilous Culture of War", which is embedded within and constantly re…affirmed by our monuments and our historical narratives. In this volume Wodiczko, winner of the Hiroshima Art Prize in 1998, offers a detailed examination of his proposal for The World Institute for the Abolition of War, a projected Un-War Memorial" constructed as a structure encapsulating the existing Arc de Triomphe in Paris.Wodiczko is joined by anthropologist Douglas Fry to shed light on the silent but deeply rooted ideologies of war, which permeate our contemporary societies, fuelling current acts of aggression and threatening to erupt into further warfare. Fry's essay Abolition of War: An Agenda for Survival" contradicts the generally held assumption that war is an inevitable aspect of human life, and posits new models of global interdependency as the necessary step towards viable peace.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Taking the form of a composition book - a classic style of American notebook - Written English is an Allen Jones RA artwork in book form. Over 40 pages, Jones playfully explores the English language, and its use. and misuse."Conquest and trade allowed the English language to become the World's lingua…franca, perhaps because its phonetic and grammatical structure is more pliable than most languages," says Jones.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This book features exclusive photography by the renowned artist Allen Jones RA. These images enable the shadows of his celebrated sculptures to become works of art in their own right, revealing a viewpoint previously unseen or unnoticed. Intermingled with views of the Jones's own home and household ob…jects, Shadows is an intimate, beautiful and playful 60-page publication featuring previously unseen work by the artist."Light can transform a solid object into an insubstantial shadow, not a copy but a unique slant on the real thing," says Jones. "Domestic shadows are anchored to their place but out of doors they can come alive seemingly of their own volition. Dependent on the sun and moon for their existence these shadow drawings will exactly repeat themselves only once a year - weather permitting."Jones was elected a Royal Academician in 1986.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Mesozoic Park is an intriguing series of photographs documenting the construction of a (pseudo) prehistoric landscape in Calgary, Canada in the early 1980s. The history of photography has been dominated by the landscape: from its state as a pristine natural phenomenon, to its altered forms, and then t…o the manufactured, of which the city's Prehistoric Park is a prime example. The site includes multiple geologic structures that humans have built to mimic nature. The images in the monograph address the illusions that humanity creates for itself, as in our increasing quest to find substitutes for 'the real'. The simulated environment in Mesozoic Park focuses on the earth and landscape as packaging or amusement, and more importantly, as a site for social and political inquiry. The black and white photographs, printed in duotone, document a geological dream world in which a 'primordial' landscape has been cleverly designed and programmed for an artificial visitor experience. By exploring the park in great detail, Munro offers privileged access to what we never get to see: the construction of a facsimile panorama that will provide visitors with the illusion of time travel. The real and false are confused, no longer relevant in this walk through a purported 65 million year-old landscape. The book also contains photographs which show the artificial human construct in 2018.

The versatile oeuvre of Tehran-based artist Sahand Hesamiyan (b. 1977) explores the ties between geometry, mythology and philosophy in Islamic and Persian architecture, extracting traditional elements from the ancient sciences and adapting them for the present and future. The process, informed by complex construction and design techniques, manifests in larger-than-life metal sculptures and small elaborate works of paper, taking inspiration from years of craftsmanship and historical concepts. In all his works, Hesamiyan boldly strips away layers of recognisable ornamentation to reveal a minimal core at the heart of all forms.This monograph surveys two decades of studio and archival material, sculpture, drawing and ambitious installation plans, supported by an introduction and two essays, not only providing a rich overview of Hesamiyan's practice, but also a better understanding of contemporary art from Iran.

Best known for her colossal sculptural projects, for over 5 decades Barlow has employed a distinctive vocabulary of inexpensive materials such as plywoo…d, cardboard, plaster, rubber, cement, fabric and paint. Barlow creates striking sculptures and bold and expansive installations that confront the relationship between objects and the space that surrounds them. Drawing on memories of familiar objects from her surroundings, Barlow's practice is grounded in an anti-monumental tradition characterised by her physical experience of handling materials in an expedient and direct way.

Paperback. Condizione: New. "With an artistic mindset, we don't always draw what we can't see. And because we don't draw it, we can't fully understand it." - Kurt Ofer To challenge this restricted outlook, architect Kurt Ofer has formulated an utterly unique way of drawing, which gives a superior understanding of form. By follow…ing the method of "transparent drawing," you ignore an object's opacity and see beyond its surface, allowing you to draw it in a very distinct and holistic way. This enables us to fully see and understand the object, and brings unimaginable results. Transparent Drawing will appeal to anyone who has ever picked up a pencil and made marks on a piece of paper. The book questions why we draw, but it is not a book on how to draw. It is clear that through Ofer's detailed exploration of various drawing movements through history, taking into account prominent thinkers and philosophers, the purpose of the book is not only to advance a new mode of drawing, but to enrich readers with a knowledge, which gives a previously inconceivable outcome when put into practice.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Punk Orientalism: The Art of Rebellion explores the spaces and places associated with the former Soviet Union, focusing on the artists and ideas hailing from Central Asia and the Caucasus, which were long perceived as an extension or "client" states of the USSR. The theme of non-conformity and the pun…k rejection of state authority is a continuous thread throughout the book, which highlights changing and divided societies and their evolving norms in the post-Soviet period.Inspired by the titular concepts, punk and orientalism, the text functions as a form of bricolage, uniting punk movements and strategies, which can be traced in popular visual culture from the 1970s onwards. The idea of punk is coupled with a critical study of orientalism and its historical association with imperialist assumptions of knowledge concerning the East. Punk Orientalism expands its association with this territory to explore former Soviet possessions in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as looking at the USSR's complex relationship with the Arab world, Iran and Turkey.Thematically organised, Punk Orientalism presents a thoroughly researched and fascinating selection of contemporary art from a complex and multifaceted part of the globe, featuring diverse artists such as Lida Abdul, Babi Badalov, Ergin Çavusoglu, Taus Makhacheva and Erbossyn Meldibekov who have challenged state and academic policies, mapped new territories, and formed new artistic movements. Punk Orientalism examines history as a conduit for revisionist thinking and rebellion, appealing to those readers interested in revolutionary practices in contemporary art. This thought-provoking book highlights breaking free from the entrapment of imperialism and shines a light on one of the most under-researched regions in the contemporary art world.

Rebel, Jester, Mystic, Poet tells the story of the evolution of Iranian contemporary art by examining the work of 30 artists.This is art where the ills of internal politics remain astutely masked below a layer of ornamentation, poetry, or humor. What unites the disparate works into a coherent theme is…the artists coping mechanisms, which consist of subversive critique, quiet rebellion, humor, mysticism, and poetryhence the publications title. The subtitle Contemporary Persians is also a reference to a strategy of survival, this one used by Iranians in the United States during the early 2000s; at a time when Iranians were identified with hostage takers and terrorists, they adopted the identity Persians, which remained free of such associations.This title collects the work of a number of artists who are already well-known in the United States, including among others Afruz Amighi, whose work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Monir Farmanfarmaian, who received a major exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in 2015.".

Paperback. Condizione: New. Hardeep Pandhal: Inheritance Quest is the first monograph on Hardeep Pandhal, whose practice concerns the unsettling and transformative forces of migration, historical violence and cultural assimilation. Including images of the artist's key works and QR links to view key videos online, this book offer…s multiple ways into his complex, multi-layered practice. The Glasgow-based artist works with an unusual fluency across various media, including rap, animations, embroidered jumpers knitted by his mum, sensitively rendered drawings of unsettling characters, airbrush paintings and installations. These works reference genres across a vast landscape of popular culture, from video games to cartoons, and from fantasy lore and mystical poetry to gothic horror and steampunk. In this book, Pandhal builds a luridly rendered world where the ghosts of empire slink alongside narratives of Tolkienesque fantasy; where game designer Hideo Kojima's Solid Snake shares a backseat with an Uber Eats bag; and where personal memories of racist invective are untwisted into sinuous renderings of the headless figures of Sikh martyr Baba Deep Singh, or tottering troops of British-Indian sepoys. Beneath the surface of his visually seductive yet often disturbing imagery lies a lyrical ambition and allusive power that is literary in quality. Whether exploring the libidinal and orgiastic energies of empire, or the fantastical elements of his practice, Pandhal adeptly riffs on the immigrant experience in modern Britain. From the sung poems of the 15th-century South Asian mystic poet Kabir to Pandhal's affinities and difficulties with contemporary fantasy - and that genre's uncomfortable relationship with whiteness - this is an eclectic and erudite exposition of the relationship between race, place and art.Hardeep Pandhal: Inheritance Quest is commissioned by Anita Dawood. It includes critical texts by four writers: Zahid Chaudhary, Gabrielle de la Puente, Hammad Nasar and Jamie Sutcliffe. It also includes a conversation with artist and academic David Steans.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In this beautifully executed, concertina-fold book, Allen Jones RA explores the human form and how painting on a figure is a vastly different process, and has vastly different results, to painting from a figure. The first half of the book features detail photography of the artist's sculpture series Wa…iting on Table. The second half concertinas out to reveal the front and back of one of Jones's most prominent sculptures, A Muse, which can also be displayed as a wall hanging. For many years as a student, Jones had to draw from casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. Over time he developed a reverence for their idealised bodies, heightened by the tactile purity of the white marble. It seemed sacrilegious to him, therefore, to discover later that the marble was often painted over with colour. For many years as a student, Jones had to draw from casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. Over time he developed a reverence for their idealised bodies, heightened by the tactile purity of the white marble. It seemed sacrilegious to him, therefore, to discover later that the marble was often painted over with colour. "Painting on a figure is quite different from painting the figure" is an observation that Jones has grown to embrace, and one that has greatly informed his practice. Like the Romans, Jones has discovered that colour matters. Jones was elected a Royal Academician in 1986. He is one of Britain's most distinguished artists from the pioneering Pop Movement, whose paintings and sculptures are held in many important international collections, including: Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, the Museum of 20th-Century Art in Vienna, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.Colour Matters is one of a collection of four artist's books by Allen Jones that Black Dog Press is releasing in September 2022.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The ability to use imagination and envision future needs is crucial in art, design and architecture. Future thinking and making require imagination and capability to create narratives for near and far futures and the capacity to compose proposals to meet the imagined future needs. Future-oriented crea…tive practices also require future literacy-understanding the temporal continuum in whichthe future-oriented work is created and being aware of underlying incentives, motivations and structures of the self-initiated works or commissions. Similarly, viewing or consuming the speculative creative works requires some level of understanding of the context of the works.Studio Time: Future Fictions in Art and Design approaches these questions with essays from international design and art thinkers, reflective shorter essays and a selection of art, design and architecture projects. The book consists of three parts that each focus on future fictions in art and design from different perspectives: future fictions and imagination in creative practices, future literacy, and future ethics. Each part consists of two essays, two practical, reflective contributions from artists and designers and a selection of art and design projects from practitioners around the world.The book is a closing chapter of Studio Future, which is one of the research studios developed by Belgian-based Z33 House for Contemporary Art. Since 2012, Studio Future has focused on a variety of aspects on future-oriented art and design practices through different research and exhibition projects, which have been accompanied by online and offline publishing.

From her spontaneous, gesturally abstractdrawings of the 1970s, to her bolder, more defined, large-scale drawings that gained public attention at the 1980Venice Biennale, to her lesser-known sculptural and photographic works,to the wall painting created for Kunstmuseum Basel in 2018 - this book spansthe artist's creative scope.The characteristic linear forms thatunderscore Marianne's practice come from the meditative process ofdrawing she developed in her lifetime, whereby she externalised her personalexperiences onto paper. Marianne Eigenheerdocuments beautifully how theartist created a highly distinctive and recognisable visual language by working in this way throughout hercareer. The book also features aselection of essays by a diverse group of writers that discuss and explore thedifferent aspects of Marianne's practice, shining a light on her work asartist, writer, curator and teacher.

The monograph documents Attie's multi-year project of excavating stories of the city by filming community members, clothed in contemporary and historical dress, transiting iconic local buildings and topography - and the resulting exhibition at the Lehigh University Art Galleries, anchored by a two-channel video and a modified scaled facsimile of Bethlehem's 90-foot tall lighted sculptural representation of the biblical Star of Bethlehem, a civic project from the 1930s that overlooks the city to this day. The book is published together with the Lehigh University Art Galleries.From the city's founding by Moravian Christian utopian settlers in 1741, through to its industrial heyday in the late 19th to 20th centuries as a capital of the American steel industry, to the collapse of its steel mill and manufacturing in the 1980s and 1990s, and subsequent post-industrial reincarnation with a new casino and gambling, Bethlehem is a microcosm of America's hopes and dreams, failures and realities. Starstruck: An American Tale probes this uneasy, distinctly American blend of utopian aspirations, industrial capitalism, and the dream of "making it big", which have defined life in Bethlehem and other communities across the United States since the country's founding.

Hardback. Condizione: New. What Comes to My Lips is the first monograph on the artist Ambreen Butt. Trained in the thousand-year tradition of Indo-Persian miniature painting and contemporary Western art and theory, Butt's studio practice circumvents history, tradition and contemporaneity, creating a multifaceted project that exp…lores civil liberties and rights, mutual responsibilities and complex geopolitical forces.Illuminated with images of the artist's paintings, collaged works on paper and large-scale installations from the past three decades, this in-depth book features essays by curator/writer Sara Raza and artist/critic Quddus Mirza. Raza examines Butt's practice through the thematic lens of the sciences of Islam's Golden Age (7th-14th century), proposing a bridge that connects art, history and cosmology. In his essay, Mirza places the conventions of the artist's work in relation to longer historical narratives and traditional gendered roles across the spectrums of time and locality.An intimate archive of Butt's technically rich, aesthetically delightful work, What Comes to My Lips invites the reader to enter the symbolic landscape of Butt's oeuvre and discover the hidden, unseen and unrecorded aspects that shimmer beneath the surface of even the most fraught realities.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Featuring essays by exhibition curators Julia Paoli and Nigel Prince, as well as a specially commissioned text, Julia Dault is an engaging and long overdue introduction to the artist and her work. Physical negotiations are central to the textured paintings and improvised sculptures for which Julia Daul…t is celebrated. In her multilayered paintings, Dault employs organic and synthetic supports such as canvas, leather, vinyl, spandex and wooden frames, which act as surfaces to hold paint or as a means of imposing patterns. Whether adding or subtracting paint from these materials, she uses unusual tools such as rubber combs and squeegees that standardise her gestures. Repetition and transparency are important to Dault; looked at closely, her paintings reveal the process of their creation. In partnership with The Power Plant, Toronto and the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver. Julia Dault's recent solo exhibitions include Jessica Bradley, Toronto; China Arts Objects, Los Angeles; and Galerie Bob van Orsouw, Zurich.

Hardback. Condizione: New. FedericoSolmi: Escape Into The Metaverse examines the work of Federico Solmi, a leading practitioner in the genreof new media art. As a narrative and figurative artist, Solmi utilises lurid coloursand satire to portray a dystopian vision of contemporary society, highlighting thecontradictions and falli…bilities that characterise our time. Employing video, painting,drawing, sculpture, sound and digital game design, he creates a carnivalesque virtualreality with historical and present-day world leaders - animated by computer scriptand motion capture performance - in a critique of Western society's obsession withpower. Inspired by real events and fabricated myths, Solmi explores, re-interpretsand concocts celebrated moments in history. As reconfigured narratives, these socialand political commentaries disrupt the mythologies that underpin Western society,revealing its ties to nationalism, colonialism, religion and consumerism.The book documentsSolmi's unique process of melding traditional art practices and digital technologiesin a case study of his most ambitious video-painting to date, The Bathhouse (2020). Pioneering new modes of cultural production and art experience affordedby the metaverse, Solmi's absurd rewriting of past and present merge dark humorand a sense of the grotesque in a virtual world that indicts our own reality.Solmi was born in 1973 to a working-class family in Bologna, Italy. He is self-trained and self-educated. In 1999, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, to pursue his career. His perspective reflects his outlook as a cultural voyeur, questioning the nationalistic and revisionist American mythologies that are often presented as fact. In 2003, Solmi began to experiment with the tools of video game design, fascinated by the parallel universe made possible by 3D graphics, which he saw as a structure to create narrative video sequences using drawings and paintings. Every visual texture is painted and scanned on the computer up to three times to achieve the intentional flickering effect. The art of Paolo Uccello, Giorgio Morandi and Giorgio di Chirico serve as references for his visual compositions, while the writings of Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky and Oriana Fallaci serve as inspiration for his social and political commentary.
