Book excerpt: An ambitious new sculptural installation specially created for a Paris exhibition. Based in Seoul, Lee Bul is a leading figure within a new generation of contemporary Korean artists. Her practice embraces sculpture, performance, video, and interactive media. Lee Bul began her career in the late 1980s and came to international prominence a decade later with her high-tech sculptures based around mythical monsters and futuristic cyborgs. Her latest works, inspired by visionary architect Bruno Taut (1880 -1938), evoke a beautiful landscape of metal and glass. For her exhibition at the Fondation Cartier, the artist has envisioned a gigantic installation made of crystal beads and aluminum that fills the whole of the transparent galleries of the Jean Nouvel-designed building and overflows into the garden. 60 color illustrations.

Featuring the work of six international artists, this publication examines a recurring facet of contemporary artistic production material excess, accumulation, bravado, asymmetry, and theatricality.

Download or read book Art School written by Steven Henry Madoff and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-09-11 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading international artists and art educators consider the challenges of art education in today's dramatically changed art world. The last explosive change in art education came nearly a century ago, when the German Bauhaus was formed. Today, dramatic changes in the art world—its increasing professionalization, the pervasive power of the art market, and fundamental shifts in art-making itself in our post-Duchampian era—combined with a revolution in information technology, raise fundamental questions about the education of today's artists. Art School (Propositions for the 21st Century) brings together more than thirty leading international artists and art educators to reconsider the practices of art education in academic, practical, ethical, and philosophical terms. The essays in the book range over continents, histories, traditions, experiments, and fantasies of education. Accompanying the essays are conversations with such prominent artist/educators as John Baldessari, Michael Craig-Martin, Hans Haacke, and Marina Abramovic, as well as questionnaire responses from a dozen important artists—among them Mike Kelley, Ann Hamilton, Guillermo Kuitca, and Shirin Neshat—about their own experiences as students. A fascinating analysis of the architecture of major historical art schools throughout the world looks at the relationship of the principles of their designs to the principles of the pedagogy practiced within their halls. And throughout the volume, attention is paid to new initiatives and proposals about what an art school can and should be in the twenty-first century—and what it shouldn't be. No other book on the subject covers more of the questions concerning art education today or offers more insight into the pressures, challenges, risks, and opportunities for artists and art educators in the years ahead.

Download or read book Lee Bul written by Stephanie Rosenthal and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lee Bul (b.1964) is a contemporary mixed-media artist from South Korea. This is the most comprehensive monograph presenting her iconic works over the last 30 years.Considered as one of the foremost Asian artists to emerge from the international art scene in the 1990s, she represented South Korea in the 1999 Venice Biennale.Drawing upon experiences of living under a military dictatorship, her work reflects images of totalitarianism, alongside contrasting visions of utopian architectural designs.Exploring issues ranging from societal gender roles and the perceived failure of idealism to the relationship between humans and technology, she produces genre-crossing works rooted in critical theory, art history and themes from science fiction.The survey includes an extensive illustrated interview investigating her life, aims and influences alongside an essay discussing the interplay between architecture, design and the human influence and another exploring the domestic and international context for her artistic vision.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Lee Bul: Crashing at Hayward Gallery, London (30 May - 19 August 2018), and continuing to Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (29 September 2018 - 13 January 2019).

Book Synopsis The Invisible Flâneuse? by : Aruna D'Souza
Download or read book The Invisible Flâneuse? written by Aruna D'Souza and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection of essays revisits gender and urban modernity in nineteenth-century Paris in the wake of changes to the fabric of the city and social life. In rethinking the figure of the flâneur, the contributors apply the most current thinking in literature and urban studies to an examination of visual culture of the period, including painting, caricature, illustrated magazines, and posters. Using a variety of approaches, the collection re-examines the long-held belief that life in Paris was divided according to strict gender norms, with men free to roam in public space while women were restricted to the privacy of the domestic sphere." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0743/2007533305-d.html.

Book Synopsis Spaces of Experience by : Charlotte Klonk
Download or read book Spaces of Experience written by Charlotte Klonk and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating study of art gallery interiors examines the changing ideals and practices of galleries in Europe and North America from the 18th to the late 20th century. It offers a detailed account of the different displays that have been created—the colors of the background walls, lighting, furnishings, the height and density of the art works on show—and it traces the different scientific, political and commercial influences that lay behind their development. Charlotte Klonk shows that scientists like Hermann von Helmholtz and Wilhelm Wundt advanced theories of perception that played a significant role in justifying new modes of exhibiting. Equally important for the changing modes of exhibition in art galleries was what Michael Baxandall has called “the period eye,” a way of seeing informed by the impact of new fashions in interior decoration and by department store and shop window displays. The history of museum interiors, she argues, should be appreciated as a revealing chapter in the broader history of experience.
