Book excerpt: This large format book is also the catalog of the exhibition of JeffWall held at the Museo Tamayo Contemporary Art in Mexico City.Includes some of his recent color photographs mounted in light boxes, and large black and white prints. For the Canadian artist, his photographs are divided into two categories: documentary, a representation of a specific place and space without manifest manipulation by the artist, and film, which recreates the contec and restructures. The latter category includes items from subtle movements within a given situationeven more elaborate approaches involve the construction of scenarios and other aspects of stage work. Although for Wall are two different working methods, has a greatinterest in how the two merge and overlap continuously overartistic practice. With many references to the outstanding naturalenvironment and distinctive urban character of the city ofVancouver, where the artist lives and works, the group ofphotographs reproduced here focuses primarily on the work created in the last seven years. This selection offers a compellinglook at the ways in which Wall continues to question and expandthe way that photography is defined and understood. Jeff Wallwas awarded the Hasselblad Award 2002 and his work is one of the most renowned museums and collections.

Book Synopsis Looking Through Duchamp's Door by : Hans Belting
Download or read book Looking Through Duchamp's Door written by Hans Belting and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this new book by Hans Belting, three monographic essays are united by one common problem the need for perspective after the end of perspective in modern art. Hans Belting not only opens up new ways of looking at the works of Marcel Duchamp, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall, but also deals with the concept of perspective in their work. The door that Marcel Duchamp installed in Philadelphia is a metaphor for a brilliant strategy that redirects the worn-out view of perspective back to ones self. Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall, two protagonists of photography in contemporary art, both looked through this door as they became artists and have both referenced Duchamp time and again. Beltings analysis and surprising discoveries also open up a new way of looking at Duchamp a lifelong experiment, in which art, in the name of perspective, is freely negotiated with the viewer. It was a bout of seasickness on a trip to Buenos Aires that gave Duchamp the impulse for his highly original reflection on horizon, perspective and gravity. Hans Beltings very knowledgeable and coherent reasoning makes for a highly captivating book, embellished with 65 illustrations to help lead the reader through the pictorial art of perspective." --Book Jacket.
Download or read book Jeff Wall written by Stefan Banz and published by Moderne Kunst Verlag Fur. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his impressive analysis Stefan Banz examines how Jeff Wall uses camera, computer, actors and specialists to generate a visual performance that provokes epistemological questions in the viewer; illustrates how the artist - beyond avant-garde criteria - develops a sophisticated and engaging visual feel, which deals both with the everyday but also with the history of art; and explores meticulously how he reflects the role of the recipient in his compositions.In this sense, Banz shows with the eyes of an active observer how art has an inexhaustible metaphorical power for Wall, which enriches and upsets our visual concepts. And he also creates new, startling references between his photographic works and paintings by such different artists like Diego Velázquez, Jan Vermeer, Claude Monet, Frederic Remington, Hans Emmenegger, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.
Download or read book Jeff Wall written by Aaron Peck and published by Figure 1 Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Wall has lived in his hometown of Vancouver for all but four years of his life. Most of the images he has created are shot in and around that city, yet his art transcends these local subjects and addresses universal themes of history and memory. That explains why his work is celebrated around the world and has been the subject of countless international exhibitions from the Tate Modern, to MoMa, to the Art Institute of Chicago. His importance to photoconceptualism is recognized throughout the art world and his cinematographic pictures are immensely popular with the public and the academy alike. The images he has chosen for North and West explore the meaning of history and how we remember the cities we inhabit. The towns imprinted in our minds no longer exist. Urban landscapes constantly change but the remnants of the past remain and history's influence never ends. North and West is a succinct and indispensable look into the profoundly moving and influential oeuvre of Jeff Wall.

Book Synopsis Marcel Duchamp by : Michael R. Taylor
Download or read book Marcel Duchamp written by Michael R. Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his early thirties, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) convinced everyone that he had abandoned making art in favor of playing chess. But from 1946 to 1966, he was secretly at work in his studio on West 14th Street in New York City. There he produced his final masterpiece: Étant donnés: 1o la chute d'eau, 2o le gaz d'éclairage, composed of a battered wood door through which one views a prone, nude female, holding aloft an antique gas lamp against a landscape of trees, waterfall, and sky. Unveiled as a permanent installation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in July 1969, the year after Duchamp's death, it startled the art world with its explicit eroticism and voyeurism, as well as its trompe l'oeil realism. Since its public debut, Étant donnés has been recognized as one of the most important and enigmatic works of the 20th century. Published to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the original installation of Étant donnés and to accompany the first major exhibition on the artwork and its studies, this richly illustrated book presents a wealth of new research and documents that draw upon previously unpublished works of art and materials. The catalogue also examines the critical and artistic reception of Étant donnés, as evidenced by the subsequent work of Les Levine, Hannah Wilke, Robert Gober, Marcel Dzama, Ray Johnson, and other artists who have engaged with Duchamp's provocative and challenging tableau-construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Duchamp scholars represented here are among the leading European and American critics of their generation. Their 11 essays offer lively nd diverse perspectives on the artist, focusing on the major issues surrounding his contribution: the philosophical implications of Duchamp's skepticism, eroticism, and paradoxical acceptance of contradiction; the events leading to the creation of the infamous Fountain; a rigorous reading of the Large Glass by Jean Suquet that appears here in English for the first time, as does Andre Gervais's exhilarating voyage through Duchamp's puns, aphorisms,and word plays; a reinterpretation of Duchamp's late works as ready mades; the influence of scientific models on his art, and of the gender-based teaching of drawing in the Third Republic on his - or Rrose Selavy's - peculiar use of mechanical drawing.

Book Synopsis Reconsidering the Object of Art by : Ann Goldstein
Download or read book Reconsidering the Object of Art written by Ann Goldstein and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1995 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconsidering the Object of Artexamines a generally underexposed (and therefore often misunderstood) period in contemporary art and highlights artists whose practices have inspired much of the most significant art being produced today. It illustrates and discusses many crucial, ground-breaking works that have not been seen within their proper historical context, if they have been individually seen at all. By 1969 such artists as Michael Asher, John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Dan Graham, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Lawrence Weiner and others had begun to create works using a variety of media that sought to reevaluate certain fundamental premises about the formal, material, and contextual definitions of art. This first comprehensive overview of Conceptual art in English documents the work of fifty-five artists, work that marked a significant rupture with traditional forms and concepts of painting, sculpture, photography, and film. Also included are essays that elucidate the significant aesthetic issues that gave rise, in both America and Europe, to the highly individual, but related, modes of Conceptual art. Lucy Lippard (art historian) writes on the broader sociopolitical milieu in which this work was made; Stephen Melville (Professor of Art History, Ohio State University) probes the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of Conceptual art; and Jeff Wall (artist) discusses the relationship between Conceptual art and photography. Anne Rorimer and Ann Goldstein (curators of the exhibition the book accompanies) respectively take up the role of language in this work, and discuss each of the artists.
