Book Synopsis Jan Fabre's Chalcosoma by : Jan Fabre
Download or read book Jan Fabre's Chalcosoma written by Jan Fabre and published by Strange Chemistry. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these new works Fabre explores the multiformity of life and death: he plants a laurel between the wing-cases of a beetle, mounts a compass in a skull, and lets a crust of drawing pins grow over a self-portrait. Some of the works are completely new creations, while others refer to earlier elements in his oeuvre. Their diversity makes them a sampler of the themes that dominate Fabre's oeuvre. A network of associations unfolds between the various sculptures, one in which the viewer can wander endlessly.

Download or read book Jan Fabre, Stigmata written by Jan Fabre and published by Skira. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual artist, choreographer, writer and director, Jan Fabre has been one of the most influential figures on the European scene for over twenty years. His provocative forays into all different art forms are aimed at breaking down the artistic and moral barriers of his times. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of Fabre's works at the MAXXI in Rome, the monograph brings together, for the first time, the action art and performances of the Belgian artist from the 70s to the present: drawings, "thinking models", collages, films, photos and other documentation that lay the groundwork for a rediscovery of dozens of Fabre's performances and interventions, both public and private, held in Belgium and abroad. The extreme, even brazen exploration of the human body, which frequently scandalizes viewers, is linked to the idea of metamorphosis, which Fabre may have derived from that passion for the sciences he inherited from his great-grandfather, the esteemed entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre. Jan Fabre has devoted much of his career to studying the human body and its transfiguration, central themes in his work; the artist considers performance art a "per-for-a(c)tion" of the body with respect to the outer world: a way to explore its limits, actions and reactions, both inside and out.
Book Synopsis The Descent of Man by : Charles Darwin
Download or read book The Descent of Man written by Charles Darwin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-11-27 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most accessible edition ever published of Darwin's incendiary classic, edited by "as fine a science essayist as we have" (New York Times) The Descent of Man, Darwin's second landmark work on evolutionary theory (following The Origin of the Species), marked a turning point in the history of science with its modern vision of human nature as the product of evolution. Darwin argued that the noblest features of humans, such as language and morality, were the result of the same natural processes that produced iris petals and scorpion tails. To convey the revolutionary importance of this groundbreaking book, renowned evolutionary science writer Carl Zimmer edited this special abridged edition—made up of nine excerpts, each one representing one of Darwin's major themes—and wrote illuminating introductions to each section, as well as an overall introduction. Zimmer brilliantly places Darwin's basic ideas in the context of the current understanding of human nature and twenty-first-century DNA research. By accessibly presenting Darwin's thinking to a modern readership, Zimmer eloquently demonstrates Darwin's ever-increasing relevance and amazing scientific insight.
