This book was released on 2018-10-10T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political, poetic, committed, profound: Jean-Michel Alberola’s oeuvre is an artist’s reaction to reality, human feelings and the state of the world. His exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo triggers a voyage that stimulates the eye and the mind as it maps the underappreciated diversity of his work. Associating bodily and geographical fragments with ambiguous statements and injunctions, this major and utterly distinctive figure on the French art scene shapes rebuses that challenge both our way of seeing and the role of art in society. And yet, in its intermingling of artistic speculation and political questioning, and of conceptualism, abstraction and figuration, Alberola’s unique, hard-hitting oeuvre is never without its touch of humour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politique, poétique, engagée et profonde, l’œuvre de Jean-Michel Alberola lui permet de réagir par l’art, sur le réel, les sentiments et l’état du monde. Son exposition au Palais de Tokyo initie un voyage qui stimule le regard et la pensée, en cartographiant la diversité méconnue de son travail. Associant des fragments de corps ou de géographies à des énoncés ou des injonctions ambiguës, cet artiste majeur et inclassable de la scène française compose autant de rébus qui interrogent notre regard tout comme le rôle de l’art dans la société. Évoluant entre réflexions artistiques et questionnements politiques, entre conceptualisme, abstraction et figuration, l’œuvre de Jean-Michel Alberola, unique et percutante, n’est jamais dénuée d’humour. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Jean-Michel Alberola au Palais de Tokyo, « L’Aventure des détails », 19.02 – 16.05 2016

This book was released on 2018-10-10T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their works, mingling colours, light, mass and illusions, Florian and Michael Quistrebert play back the main motifs of modern art, while perverting them, through a particular approach to matter. At the Palais de Tokyo, they are deploying a vast optical theatre in which experience of their paintings and videos is disturbed by the glittering and internal motions of objects. The Quistrebert brothers’ ambiguous pieces evoke the impossibility of grasping a painting. Their pictures are never what they show or, rather, never stabilize themselves around their subjects. The artists explore perception by handling it in various ways, which can be intellectual, optical, symbolic or else occult. Book contents - “Trance, Meditation, Madness”: An essay by Khairudin Hori, cocurator of Florian & Michael Quistrebert’s solo show at the Palais de Tokyo. - “Turbulent Infinities”: An essay by Hugo Vitrani, cocurator of Florian & Michael Quistrebert’s solo show at the Palais de Tokyo. - “The Substance of Painting is Light”: A conversation between Florian & Michael Quistrebert and Mara Hoberman. - Notes on a selection of the artists’s works. About the authors: - Khairuddin Hori is the deputy director of artistic programmes at the Palais de Tokyo. - Hugo Vitrani contributes to Mediapart and Beaux-Arts Magazine. He is the curator of the Palais de Tokyo’s urban art programme. - Mara Hoberman is a freelance curator and a writer.

This book was released on 2018-10-10T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorian Gaudin focuses on the interplay of correspondences between the organic, psychical, and material worlds. Combining performance, sculpture and cinema, his oeuvre moves back and forth between automation and living systems. He mobilizes, dislocates, and mechanizes in an amalgamation of genres: absurdist theater, science fiction cinema, burlesque and Minimalism. In his exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo machines and social rituals, visual illusion and physical presence set in motion a mechanism which is also that of the emotions. Revealing the capacity of objects to generate narrative and elicit our emotional and intellectual involvement, his works remind us of the way fetishization of objects and technology governs our relationship with the world. Book Contents - “Incomparable Theatre”: The Splendid Ambiguity of Dorian Gaudin’s Machines” an essay by Kate Sutton - “The Mechanism of the Emotions”: interview between Dorian Gaudin and Julien Fronsacq About the authors - Kate Sutton is a writer currently based in Zagreb. In addition to writing articles and reviews for magazines including Artforum, Bidoun, Frieze, Ibraaz, and LEAP, Sutton is a regular contributor to Artforum.com. In 2013, she was recognized with an Art Writers Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation. - Julien Fronsacq is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. He curated Dorian Gaudin’s solo show.

This book was released on 2018-10-10T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julien Creuzet is an artist, videographer, performer and poet. He links forgotten, minority histories and imaginary representations of distant places with the social realities of the here and now. His exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, which visit is rhythmed by a soundtrack composed specifically for it, takes the form of an immersive environment akin to a large public space suffused with the permanent state of tension that characterizes our era. It presents a multiplicity of different works and offers an array of disjointed narratives. Preferring anachronism to the linearity of established stories, Creuzet thus invokes poetry and politics to unfold a mobile imaginary that brings together different temporalities and geographies. Book contents - “An Interview or Not,” interview between Julien Creuzet and Yoann Gourmel - “Flashing Light-Elegy,” by Eva Barois De Caevel and Dorothée Dupuis. About the authors - Eva Barois De Caevel is an independent curator. She is in charge of publications at RAW Material Company—Center for Art Knowledge and Society (Dakar). - Dorothée Dupuis is an independent curator, art critic and publisher. She is the founder and editor in chief of the magazine Terremoto.mx. - Yoann Gourmel is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. He curated Julien Creuzet’s solo show.

This book was released on 2020-03-11T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a background rich in literature and the history of arts and architecture—as well as psychoanalysis, spiritism and magic—Ulla von Brandenburg explores the shaping of our social constructs with borrowings from theatrical codes and mechanisms, together with esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies. For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo she has conceived a total, constantly evolving project inspired by the theatre, its imaginary realm and its conventions. With ritual as her starting point, she invites the public to experience an immersive reinterpretation of the themes, forms and motifs—including movement, the stage, colour, music and textiles—that fuel her oeuvre. Book published on the occasion of Ulla von Brandenburg’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, 21.02 – 13.09.2020

Download or read book Profiller written by Paul Poudade and published by Pera Müzesi. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Son yıllarda Fransız sanat sahnesi ne durumda? Bu sahnenin ayırdedici özellikleri, ağır basan eğilimleri neler? Görünüşünü dönüştüren önemli değişiklikler oldu mu? “Panorama”sını çıkartmaktan çok “profil”ini çizme düşüncesinin ortaya koyduğu sorular bunlar. Panorama ve profil sözcükleri arasındaki anlamsal farklılık, burada yadsınmaz bir ağırlık taşır. Panorama kavramı, duruma genişletilmiş bir bakış yöneltildiğini düşündüren bir yoğunluk, bir kapsam içerir; oysa profil kavramı konuya aynı yönde bakmaz ve daha çok, bir toplu bakış düşüncesini vurgular. Bir özet düşüncesini. Tıpkı modelinin ana hatlarını yakalamak için taslaklar çiziktirmeye koyulan sanatçının yaptığı gibi. Fransa’da son yılların gelişim biçimiyle sanatsal üretimin durumunu öne çıkarmayı hedefleyen ve ‘Fransız Baharı’ etkinlikleri kapsamında gerçekleştirilen “Profiller” sergisi küratörü Philippe Piguet serginin “hiç bir okulun, hiç bir grubun manifestosu olmadığını amacının çoğulcu bir yaratım özgürlüğünün açık fikirliliğini yansıtmak” olduğunu belirtiyor. -- Where does the French artistic scene stand in regard to the last fifteen years? What are its eminent character traits? What are its dominant trends? Did nay notable change come about to transform its physiognomy? These are so many questions brought into play by this idea of sketching a “profile” and not a “panorama” of its present status. The semantic differentiation between these two words is quite imposing here. If the notion of panorama supposes a scope and an extent which imply a broadened vision of the situation, that of profile does not make out the same meaning and sooner accentuates the idea of an overview, a digest, following the example of an artist who endeavours to give a thumbnail sketch of his model in an attempt to express its essential traits. The famous art critic Philippe Piguet put it, this exposition “which intended to highlight a present state of art production as it developed in France more or less in the last fifteen years and what is more insomuch as it is sifted though sieves of public collections” blew like a spring breeze wafting a gentle air from France into the halls of Pera Museum, and gave the contemporary artistic panorama of a country that has always been amongst the vanguards of European Art.

Book Synopsis Graciela Iturbide: Heliotropo 37 by : GRACIELA. ITURBIDE
Download or read book Graciela Iturbide: Heliotropo 37 written by GRACIELA. ITURBIDE and published by Fondation Cartier Pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuous survey of Mexico's foremost photographer Through more than 200 photographs, this luxurious volume presents Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide's most iconic works alongside an important selection of previously unpublished photographs and a series of color photographs specially commissioned by the Fondation Cartier. Working mainly in black and white, Iturbide has explored the cohabitation between ancestral traditions and Catholic rites in Mexico, humanity's relationship with death and the roles of women in society. In recent years, her photographs have emptied themselves of human presence, revealing the enigmatic life of objects and nature. In addition to her stark images of her homeland, this book also includes images from her series in India, the United States and elsewhere. Heliotropo 37, named for the photographer's address in Mexico City, also contains an interview with the photographer by French essayist Fabienne Bradu, an original short story by Guatemalan writer Eduardo Halfon and a photo-portrait of Iturbide's studio by Mexican photographer Pablo López Luz. One of the most influential photographers active in Latin America today, Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide (born 1942) began studying photography in the 1970s with legendary photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Seeking "to explore and articulate the ways in which a vocable such as 'Mexico' is meaningful only when understood as an intricate combination of histories and practices," as she puts it, Iturbide has created a nuanced and sensitive documentary record of contemporary Mexico. She lives and works in Mexico City.

Book Synopsis Enter Culture, Exit Arts? by : Semi Purhonen
Download or read book Enter Culture, Exit Arts? written by Semi Purhonen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key debates of contemporary cultural sociology – the rise of the ‘cultural omnivore’, the fate of classical ‘highbrow’ culture, the popularization, commercialization and globalization of culture – deal with temporal changes. Yet, systematic research about these processes is scarce due to the lack of suitable longitudinal data. This book explores these questions through the lens of a crucial institution of cultural mediation – the culture sections in quality European newspapers – from 1960 to 2010. Starting from the framework of cultural stratification and employing systematic content analysis both quantitative and qualitative of more than 13,000 newspaper articles, Enter Culture, Exit Arts? presents a synthetic yet empirically rich and detailed account of cultural transformation in Europe over the last five decades. It shows how classifications and hierarchies of culture have changed in course of the process towards increased cultural heterogeneity. Furthermore, it conceptualizes the key trends of rising popular culture and declining highbrow arts as two simultaneous processes: the one of legitimization of popular culture and the other of popularization of traditional legitimate culture, both important for the loosening of the boundary between ‘highbrow’ and ‘popular’. Through careful comparative analysis and illustrative snapshots into the specific socio-historical contexts in which the newspapers and their representations of culture are embedded – in Finland, France, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the UK – the book reveals the key patterns and diversity of European variations in the transformation of cultural hierarchies since the 1960s. The book is a collective endeavour of a large-scale international research project active between 2013 and 2018.
Book Synopsis Radical Revelation by : Balázs M. Mezei
Download or read book Radical Revelation written by Balázs M. Mezei and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a practical and innovative interpretation of divine revelation, from a philosophical-theological perspective. Balázs M. Mezei outlines the most important presuppositions of our notion of divine revelation in a historic and semantic setting, as well as elaborating upon the methodology of model analysis. He then introduces and analyses the notion of self-revelation as the most important modern understanding of divine revelation; and presents the notion of “apocalyptic personhood” as a corollary of radical personhood, which is further developed into apocalyptic phenomenology. Mezei further examines the remarkable development of some of the most important notions in the history of Christianity, along with the homogenous infrastructure of these notions in the very essence of the religion: the doctrine of Trinity. Covering aspects of revelation from semantics to historical and cognitive origins, and engaging with a wide variety of texts – including Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Joseph Ratzinger – Mezei makes a strong and clear statement when explaining what the radical revelation is, how it can be understood and its overall importance.

Finally, the book provides methodic access to the study of spirituality, focusing on the following questions: Which are the different forms of spirituality and how can we describe them? How can spiritual texts be given a reliable reading? Which themes can be distinguished in the field of spirituality and what would be a meaningful way to address them? What do we mean by spiritual guidance and what can we learn from it? This textbook has no equal. It is indispensable to scholars wishing to study the subject, but also to others who want to learn about spirituality.
Book Synopsis Transforming Atonement by : Theodore W. Jennings
Download or read book Transforming Atonement written by Theodore W. Jennings and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books on the Christian doctrine of atonement have been published in recent years. Some point out the difficulties of traditional atonement theories; others attempt a revision of one of the classical three types; others attempt to combine aspects of these types.Jennings attempts something new: by approaching the question of the meaning of the cross through close attention to the biblical passages that serve as the basis of any reflection on the cross of Jesus and an engagement with patristic as well as contemporary discussion. The result is an alternative theology of the cross that grounds the message concerning the cross in the socio-political reality in which it was historically located and points to the way in which this message bears upon contemporary social and ecclesial reality.Jennings's truly fresh understanding for Christians of the meaning of Jesus' death specifically grounds the cross in the concrete political confrontation within which it occurred, relates the message about the cross to the practice of Jesus (thus keeping in relationship the gospels and the theology of Paul), and shows how the cross bears on overcoming of human division and sin, reconciliation to God, and new forms of social reality in the community of the crucified.
