Book excerpt: The Sign Painting Project came into being between 1993 and 1997 through a collaboration between Francis Alÿs and professional billboard-painters from Mexico City, particularly Rotulistas Juan Garcia, Enrique Huerta and Emilio Rivera. Alÿs brought the billboard-painters some of his small-format oil paintings and asked them if they would copy and enlarge these motifs. Today the resulting paintings are scattered throughout the world. This book presents the grand scale and multifaceted motifs of the Sign Painting Project for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our visual landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine, coauthor of Handmade Nation, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features stories and photographs of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. With a foreword by legendary artist (and former sign painter) Ed Ruscha, this vibrant book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco s New Bohemia Signs and New York s Colossal Media s Sky High Murals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sign painting is a topic that I decided to pursue for my thesis in October 2013. I arrived at the topic for a few reasons. First, Merrell Hambelton, the studio assistant of Steve Powers who is a Brooklyn based sign painter and graffiti artist, came to speak in John Lewis' writing class about grant writing. She spoke touched on what her duties are for Powers and how she finds ways to fund his large scale sign painting projects. I had never heard of Steve Powers, but I knew his work. In 2010 he designed and painted 50 signs in Philadelphia that ran along the Southeastern Transportation Authority's (SEPTA) Frank Ford Elevated line. Second, Roger Gastman a curator and author of The History of American Graffiti, also, visited John Lewis' writing class. His portfolio includes Art in the Streets, Museum of Contemporary Art; Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s, Corcoran Museum of Art; REVOK + POSE, Known Gallery; and many more books, films, and exhibits. I was inspired by his ability to take graffiti and street art and contextualize it in a museum setting. I wanted to do something similar. I didn't know what it would be or how I could frame it for my thesis, but I certainly admired his accomplishments that and his love for the punk band, Minor Threat. Lastly, Bond Street Wharf is a building located on Bond Street in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood and it adorns a 310 foot hand painted wall sign. When I first moved to Baltimore, I was running along the water and I stopped dead in my tracks as I turned the corner by the Isaac Meyers Maritime Museum. I had never seen a hand painted sign of that scale. As I stood there gawking at it, I wondered who had painted it, how old it was, and how someone could paint the letters so perfectly. At the time I knew nothing about sign painting, but I wanted to learn and I decided to declare sign painting as my thesis topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the importance of the relationship between anthropology and contemporary art has long been recognized, the discussion has tended to be among scholars from North America, Europe, and Australia; until now, scholarship and experiences from other regions have been largely absent from mainstream debate. Alternative Art and Anthropology: Global Encounters rectifies this by offering a ground-breaking new approach to the subject. Entirely dedicated to perspectives from Asia, Latin America, and Africa, the book advances our understanding of the connections between anthropology and contemporary art on a global scale. Across ten chapters, a range of anthropologists, artists, and curators from countries such as China, Japan, Indonesia, Bhutan, Nigeria, Chile, Ecuador, and the Philippines discuss encounters between anthropology and contemporary art from their points of view, presenting readers with new vantage points and perspectives. Arnd Schneider, a leading scholar in the field, draws together the various threads to provide readers with a clear conceptual and theoretical narrative. The first to map the relationship between anthropology and contemporary art from a global perspective, this is a key text for students and academics in areas such as anthropology, visual anthropology, anthropology of art, art history, and curatorial studies.
