!Perla_Miseria!
German Tina Bara and Italian Alba D'Urbano have worked together since 2000, creating works that deal with female identity, the body and personal history. This volume explores their combination of documentary strategies with performance-related image production, linking narrative and conceptual elements.
Alba D'Urbano
Plasticienne, installationniste, photographe, vidéaste, styliste, Alba d’Urbano, artiste italienne vivant à Leipzig, déploie depuis les années 1980 une oeuvre dont les réalisations communiquent par capillarité. Ouvrage publié à l’occasion de l’exposition Alba d’Urbano Topographie de l’art (15 rue de Thorigny - Paris 75003) du 8 septembre au 4 novembre 2012.

Covergirl: Wespen-Akte
A feeling between shock, grief, and anger; it has to do with my body, with losing control, with memory, the present, with time, powerlessness and outside control, ± says photographer Tina Bara of the moment she saw a catalogue of Spanish artist Dora Garcia on her colleague?s desk.?I recognised the photograph, I had become a nude cover girl.±?I± in this case meaning a nude young woman with a black bar covering her eyes. For her work?Rooms, Conversations± Garcia had used several photos from the STASI archives, and incidentally a picture of Bara was selected as the cover of her catalogue. What was a random STASI photo of a nude woman with obscured eyes to Garcia, to Bara was her life. With?Covergirl: Wespen-Akte± Tina Bara and Alba d?Urbano present an artistic reply to Garcia?s catalogue; a reply which reveals the story of the photographs.

Through the Looking Glass
Through the Looking Glass provides readers with an informative record of the exhibition of self-portraits by Ana Mendieta, Carrie Mae Weems, and other leading women artists, held in 2003 at the Palmer Museum of Art as part of the Women's Self-Representation Project at The Pennsylvania State University. Fully illustrated, this catalogue enables readers to revisit the provocative juxtaposition of Yayoi Kusama's Multi-Fabrics and Alba d'Urbano's Couture, or Martha Rosler's Semiotics of the Kitchen and several of Cindy Sherman's famed Film Stills. An essay by Sarah Rich addresses important questions about women's use of self-portraiture. How, for example, does self-representation by women engage with narcissism, a long-time trait long ascribed to the stereotypical &"woman&"? To what extent is gender a necessary element in women's self-portraiture?
Skin
A companion to an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution from May to September 2002 illustrates designs relating to coverings that resemble, in some way or another human skin. Organics, artificial and digital skin, vessels and membranes, padding and protection, and warps and folds are among the dimensions explored. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
