Saying What You See
The big question: what is the point of art? Why do some artists choose to work with visual media? What is a text? Or do you mean 'txt'? What is this book about? Artworks are a form of communication. The communications of an artist, like all other forms of communication, are often mysterious and complex, but each artist's works are the best way he or she knows to say those things. If it could be easily expressed in words, the artist would do it that way with much less effort. It is not surprising, then, that when we come to talk or write about art, we often find ourselves talking about things that are difficult to express. Luckily, responding to art is analogous to reading written works. The ...
Weather as Medium
An exploration of artworks that use weather or atmosphere as the primary medium, creating new coalitions of collective engagement with the climate crisis. In a time of climate crisis, a growing number of artists use weather or atmosphere as an artistic medium, collaborating with scientists, local communities, and climate activists. Their work mediates scientific modes of knowing and experiential knowledge of weather, probing collective anxieties and raising urgent ecological questions, oscillating between the “big picture systems view” and a ground-based perspective. In this book, Janine Randerson explores a series of meteorological art projects from the 1960s to the present that draw on...
Air Supplied
Air Supplied doubles as an artbook and edited collection of critical essays on the work of Australian-based artist David Cross. Known for his practice with inflatable structures, his projects often draw audiences into unexpected situations and dialogues. Working across performance/participatory art and object-based environments, Cross has developed a unique body of work that focuses on relationships between pleasure, the grotesque, and phobia. His curious architectural structures, which often resemble children’s funhouses, draw participants into physically and psychologically complex scenarios. While often large in scale, these structures at the same time create a framework around which id...
Wellington
Featuring brilliant urban photography, this celebration of the dynamic presence of sculpture in Wellington vividly captures more than 40 sculptures throughout the city's streets and parks. An informative and provocative examination of the sculptures' origins, this collection shows how many of the gorgeous art works came into being due to the shared vision of individuals, government agencies, and corporations who value the relationship of art and city, to brighten the lives of its citizens. The result is both a visual feast and a unique record of the 21st-century city's fabric--sure to be treasured by travelers, art enthusiasts, and locals alike.
Animism in Art and Performance
This book explores Māori indigenous and non-indigenous scholarship corresponding with the term ‘animism’. In addressing visual, media and performance art, it explores the dualisms of people and things, as well as 'who' or 'what' is credited with 'animacy'. It comprises a diverse array of essays divided into four sections: Indigenous Animacies, Atmospheric Animations, Animacy Hierarchies and Sensational Animisms. Cassandra Barnett discusses artists Terri Te Tau and Bridget Reweti and how personhood and hau (life breath) traverse art-taonga. Artist Natalie Robertson addresses kōrero (talk) with ancestors through photography. Janine Randerson and sound artist Rachel Shearer consider the sun as animate with mauri (life force), while Anna Gibb explores life in the algorithm. Rebecca Schneider and Amelia Jones discuss animacy in queered and raced formations. Stephen Zepke explores Deleuze and Guattari's animist hylozoism and Amelia Barikin examines a mineral ontology of art. This book will appeal to readers interested in indigenous and non-indigenous entanglements and those who seek different approaches to new materialism, the post-human and the anthropocene.
Pauline Rhodes
"Pauline Rhodes' artwork, characterised by her long-term concern with the environment, is situated in two spatially separate but materially and conceptually connected zones - temporary sculptural interventions outdoors that are documented, and gallery based sculptural installations. While these physical and conceptual spaces are often described as opposites: open and closed space, exterior and interior, nature and culture, through small-scale interventions and over more than 40 years, Rhodes' work has consistently drawn connections between them."--Publisher description.
Air Supplied
Air Supplied examines the work of Australian-based artist David Cross. Known for his practice with inflatable structures, the work often draws audiences into unexpected situations and dialogues. Working across performance/participatory art and object-based environments, Cross, has developed a unique body of work that focuses on relationships between pleasure, the grotesque and phobia. His curious architectural structures often resembling children's fun houses draw participants into physically and psychologically complex scenarios. While often large in scale, these structures at the same time create a framework around which ideas of intimacy and haptic experience can be negotiated and challenged. Since 2011 Cross has begun to work increasingly in the public sphere developing works that navigate the relationship between sport, collective decision making and sensory deprivation. Capturing work since 2005 produced in Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, and Australasia, the text features a survey essay by New Zealand-based academic Dr Martin Patrick, an interview with the artist and eleven commissioned essays on each of the artworks.
