Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This latest volume in the On Words series is dedicated to Mai-Thu Perret, one of Switzerland's most recognised contemporary artists. In conversation with Sarah Burkhalter, she talks about her personal fascinations, the randomness of glazing ceramics, and her love of reading. Burkhalter and Perret also explore artistic and intellectual means of including the importance of motherhood into art discourse without being reduced to that role.

She draws on the artistic and historic genealogies of the avant-garde as well as on Zen and feminist literature to create objects, spaces, and performances in which anthropology and political history give rise to intriguing heterotopias.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Former director of TED conferences Bruno Giussani's meditation on AI's influence and how to resist it. Bruno Giussani-author, curator of ideas, and podcaster-was European director and global curator of the widely heeded TED Conferences and TED Talks 200524. In Mind Under Siege, the renowned expert on digital culture writes on the technologies of influence and their social and political implications. In a world with its constant flood of information, social media, artificial intelligence, and strategies of cognitive influence all over, the integrity of our thought is under threat. Technologies that appropriate our personal data, analysing and exploiting our emotions, algorithmise our entire being.

Giussani offers an efficacious guide to develop collective and individual strategies to understand the complex relationship between ourselves and the artificial intelligences that increasingly invade our daily lives, professionally as much as privately. He explains the economic and power structures in which these technologies exist, and teaches us how to use AI without being used by it.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Wolfgang Beltracchi is a phenomenon of the international art world. His name is inextricably entwined with one of the greatest upheavals in the global art market. Emulating numerous world-famous artists, he developed and painted new paintings, continued their narrations and biography, and concluded them with a forged signature. His wife Helene Beltracchi then smuggled them onto the art market. Many experts were deceived by Beltracchi's stupendous skill and auctioneers cast many doubts aside in the interests of insatiable market demand, selling the paintings as authentic works by the purported artists. Reading the artistic handwriting of a painting requires an exceptional willingness and ability to be able to empathise and identify with the artist, until you "can feel what the other feels" (Wolfgang Beltracchi). Through extensive discussions with the painter and his wife, the psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer explored this capability that is so pronounced for Beltracchi. In her new book, she places this in relation to the disappearance of Beltracchi's own signature. As with her previous highly successful book about the performance artist Marina Abramovic, Jeannette Fischer has created an exceptionally insightful portrait of a fascinating artist personality. AUTHOR: Jeannette Fischer has been practicing for more than 30 years as a Freudian psychoanalyst in Zurich, with a special focus on the topics of violence, power, and powerlessness. She has also curated exhibitions on these topics and produced two film documentaries. SELLING POINTS: .

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the summer 2015, famous performance artist Marina Abramovic and psychanalyst Jeannette Fischer spent four days together at Abramovics house in the Hudson Valley. Associating freely, they took a psychoanalytical perspective for a lengthy exploration of Abramovics biography and art and their interrelation.???Abramovic went into this discussion in hopes of reaching a better understanding of herself, her personality, and her work. Conversations with artists are widely available, she notes, but a chance to use psychoanalysis to put an artists life and work in context is much rarer. The resulting book is neither a therapists report nor a Fischers analysis of Abramovic. Rather, it is a search for understanding conducted by the pair, looking for the structures and dynamics that underlie Abramovics life and art. The dialogues are presented along with Fischers comments on them and images of some of Abramovics performances that are referred to in the discussion. An account of Marina Abramovic's dialogue with psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer, offering an understanding of the underlying structures and dynamics of Abramovic's extraordinary performances.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. French sculptor Aristide Maillol (18611944) is sometimes referred to as the "Cezanne of sculpture" as he, like Paul Cezanne in painting, paved the way for abstraction. Though Maillol began as a painter, he produced an impressive collection of sculptures, many featuring women, over the course of his career. This book, published in conjunction with a comprehensive Maillol exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zuerich, examines how the male gaze operates in Maillol's art and the changing perceptions of this gaze from the 19th century to today. A photo essay by Franca Candrian contrasts Maillol's Venus au collier with works by modern and contemporary women artists from the Kunsthaus Zuerich's collection. An essay by feminist art historian and curator Catherine McCormack explores the presence of art depicting female nudes in contemporary museums. Supplemented by an introduction by Philippe Buettner, curator of Kunsthaus Zuerich's permanent collection, the book thus offers a fresh and unique view of Maillol and his art. Text in English and German. AUTHOR: Kunsthaus Zuerich is one of Europe's leading art museums and Switzerland's largest art institution.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthors oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale.This small, beautifully designed book records the conversation between Zumthor and Lending, accompanied by photographs taken by the renowned Swiss architectural photographer Helene Binet. The resulting book is a surprisingly revelatory view of one of the most interesting and restlessly creative architects of our era. Peter Zumthor in dialogue with Mari Lending explores how history, time and temporalities reverberates across his oeuvre, a feeling of history has informed his continuous attempts of emotional reconstruction by means of building.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Swiss artist duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann's catalogue of models. Swiss artists Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann have been collaborating since 1990, gaining much international recognition as Lang/Baumann (or L/B). Their collaborative work comprises installations, sculptures, murals, and floor paintings, as well as architectural interventions. Models play a key role in their creative process. This book brings together for the first time all the models that L/B have made for the projects they have pursued over 33 years. It thus forms a complete catalogue of their oeuvre to date in miniature format, featuring also those projects that were never developed beyond the model stage. A model can serve three purposes: three-dimensional sketch, test of a concept, or presentation. L/B use all three types. The sketch model is quickly made, fragile, and merely manifests a thought. The working model is used to try to test formal or technical details. The presentation model is made to show the result once the design process is complete, and this is usually elaborately built. Some 120 colour illustrations are supplemented by two essays on iconography in Lang/Baumann's work and on the playful aspect of model making. A conversation with Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann rounds off the book. AUTHORS: Lilia and David Glanzmann are joint directors of Museum Zeughaus Teufen in Switzerland. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Representing vision is a core theme in the art of Markus Raetz (19412020). The imitation of a binocular field of vision, which he chose for Zeemansblik, is as simple as it is convincing. Raetz created some 20 versions of this relief, made of painted and later of polished zinc sheet, in various dimensions. The Dutch term zeemansblik (sailor's view) can be translated as a view of the sea, yet blik in Dutch also means sheet metal. Raetz's wordplay refers objectively to the material and at the same time invites an interpretation of the horizontal fold in the plate as a sea horizon. Light reflections on the curved blank material change with the viewer's moving point of view, suggesting changing weather. A simple, abstract object on the wall thus becomes a seascape without painting, with the longing motif of looking into a blue distance. In this book, art historian Franz Mueller explores the complexity behind the apparent simplicity of Markus Raetz's Zeemansblik, highlighting what makes the relief a landmark of Swiss art. Text in English and German. AUTHOR: Franz Mueller is a scholar of art history working at the Swiss Institute for Art Research SIK-ISEA, where he directs various research projects, such as the catalogue raisonne of Markus Raetz's sculptural work.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Swiss artist Florian Graf conceived his School Models art project for the public space in the city of Zurich. Situated within the playground of a public secondary school, it comprises models of three neighbouring schools, each representing a period of architectural history. Graf's white, limestone sculptures of 1:20 scale are supported by oversized, multicoloured Terazzo toy blocks. Pupils are invited to appropriate their school buildings in entirely new ways, such as seating or as meeting places. The interplay of proportions between oversized blocks and miniature school buildings, as well as the actual school buildings as a backdrop, prompts a re-evaluation of the underlying power dynamics and interpretations that shape educational systems. This book documents a unique public art project that evokes interaction through images and supplementing texts. It illuminates key terms such as education, model, collaboration, and resonance.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on ones outlook, may transcend to infinity. But how can we imagine that infinity? What goes beyond it? In his latest movie about architecture, Swiss filmmaker Christoph Schaub sets out on a personal journey through time and space. He starts in his childhood, when his fascination with sacred buildings began, as did his wondering about beginnings and ends. In dialogue with architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Maerkli, and Alvaro Siza, artists James Turell and Cristina Iglesias, and musician Jojo Mayer, Schaub explores the magic of sacred spaces, a term that for him represents much more than just churches.Architecture of Infinity traces spirituality in architecture and fine arts as well as in nature, moving beyond the limits of thought. The lightly floating camera immerses the viewer in somnambulistic images, taking us on a sensual and sensing journey through vast spaces, guiding our eyes towards the star-spangled skys infinity and the depths of the ocean. Past and present, primeval times and light years, we see it all through Schaubs work. Swiss director Christoph Schaub's new film Architecture of Infinity explores the magic of sacred spaces and traces spirituality in architecture and fine arts as well as in nature, featuring architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Maerkli and Alvaro Siza, artists James Turell and Cristina Iglesias, and musician Jojo Mayer.
