Book Synopsis Pedro Cabrita Reis by : Cabrita Reis
Download or read book Pedro Cabrita Reis written by Cabrita Reis and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant Portuguese artists alive today, Pedro Cabrita Reis has produced a complex oeuvre encompassing a variety of media. His paintings, sculptures and site-specific installations are primarily composed of found and manufactured objects. Often employing common, simple materials, his work touches on issues of space, architecture and memory, with a suggestive power of association that goes beyond the visual to the level of metaphor. Bringing together the viewer's subjective conscience with the greater conscience of everyday life, Cabrita Reis's artworks induce a reconstruction of individual and collective memory, creating an expansion of meaning and proposing a literal and figurative reconstruction of the world. This lavishly illustrated publication provides a comprehensive overview of the artist's work from the mid-1980s to the present, and includes writings by the artist as well as bibliography and thumbnail catalogue raisonné.

Book excerpt: London focuses on the four London projects to date by renowned Portuguese artist Pedro Cabrita Reis, at Haunch of Venison and the Frieze Art Fair in 2005, Camden Arts Centre in 2004, and Pearl Projects in 2003. Reis is interested in man's relationship to architecture and the fabricated environments in which we live. The exhibition included three sculptures and a group of five large scale monochrome paintings in sombre dark colours presented behind glass, creating perspectival boxes that reflect the room in which they are sited. On close inspection the monochrome fabric makes its material presence felt and the viewer's gaze flits between seeing their own image and the work's materiality. Included is a conversation between the artist and David Batchelor, and a major new essay by art critic Sarah Kent. Pedro Cabrita Reis (b.1956) represented Portugal at the 2003 Venice Biennale.

Book excerpt: I Have a Weakness for a Touch of Red is a selection of essays on the art and architecture of Portugal by Yehuda Safran, who has been a professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University and Pratt Institute, as well as the director of Potlach journal. Safran, who has previously written books on Adolf Loos, Mies van der Rohe, Anthony Gormley and Anish Kapoor, is not himself Portuguese; he writes here from the perspective of a traveler, enamored with the work of major architects Alvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura and artist Pedro Cabrita Reis, among others. In an interview with the Portuguese website Virose, Safran said of Siza: "there is always a Portuguese accent to it, but he is really addressing universal architectural issues. The great poet writes normally in his own language."

Download or read book Bas Jan Ader written by Jan Verwoert and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-05-26 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated investigation into the critical motives behind the last, unfinished work that has defined the romantic legacy of conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader. In 1975 Bas Jan Ader disappeared at sea while trying to sail from the East Coast of the United States to Europe as part of a project titled In Search of the Miraculous. Ader's considerable influence on later conceptual artists stems from the way in which he used the cool analytic and antisubjective aesthetics of conceptual art to explore experiences that would seem definitively subjective—the emotional intensity of tragedy and the romantic quest for the sublime. In Search of the Miraculous was conceived as a three-part project: a lonely nighttime walk from the hills of Los Angeles down to the sea, documented in photographs; the Atlantic crossing; a night walk through Amsterdam, mirroring the LA photographs.The circumstances of his disappearance have led many interpreters to identify Ader (as a person) with the role of the tragic romantic hero. The cult status of the artist as a hero whose work is authenticated through his death, however, has obscured the fact that Ader's art was a critical investigation of precisely those romantic motives his persona has now come to be identified with. This book unpicks these ties in Ader's work in order to highlight the specific and unique way in which Ader explores the existential and emotional with an artistic approach that is as conceptual and analytic as it is poetic and personal.

Download or read book Utopia written by David Ayers and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utopian hope and dystopian despair are characteristic features of modernism and the avant-garde. Readings of the avant-garde have frequently sought to identify utopian moments coded in its works and activities as optimistic signs of a possible future social life, or as the attempt to preserve hope against the closure of an emergent dystopian present. The fourth volume of the EAM series, European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies, casts light on the history, theory and actuality of the utopian and dystopian strands which run through European modernism and the avant-garde from the late 19th to the 21st century. The book’s varied and carefully selected contributions, written by experts from around 20 countries, seek to answer such questions as: · how have modernism and the avant-garde responded to historical circumstance in mapping the form of possible futures for humanity? · how have avant-garde and modernist works presented ideals of living as alternatives to the present? · how have avant-gardists acted with or against the state to remodel human life or to resist the instrumental reduction of life by administration and industrialisation?

Book excerpt: Close to spiritual anarchism, Georgia Sagri?s writing happens in the heat of negotiation. Starting in the months leading up to the occupation of Zuccotti Park in 2011, which became the movement for people?s self-governance known as Occupy, this book carries the energy and commitment of open struggle, direct address, self-organisation and public assembly. It is a critique of representation and its implicit oblivion, told through a decade of artistic and activist practice. The writing is a mode of recovery, it is pre-content shared to encourage open processes in art, thinking and action.
