Decolonial Imaginaries in Palestinian Experimental Film and Video
Decolonial Imaginaries in Palestinian Experimental Film and Video focuses on an underexamined group of female Palestinian filmmakers, highlighting their relevance for thinking through a diverse set of issues relating to decolonial aesthetics, post-nationalism and gender, non-Western ecologies, trauma and memory, diasporic experiences of space, biopolitics, feminist historiography and decolonial temporalities. Positing that these filmmaker-artists radically counter dominant media images of Palestinians, deessentializing Palestinian identity while opening up history and the present to new potentialities and ways of imagining Palestinian futures, Decolonial Imaginaries in Palestinian Experiment...
Grief Unseen
At least one in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage, yet aftercare is rarely available for those who have experienced it. Grief Unseen explains different kinds of childbearing losses, such as failed fertility treatment, ectopic pregnancy, and stillbirth, and explores their emotional impact on women and their partners, and the process of healing.
Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life
Digitization is the animating force of everyday life. Rather than defining it as a technology or a medium, Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life argues that digitization is a socio-historical process that is contributing to the erosion of democracy and an increase in political inequality, specifically along racial, ethnic, and gender lines. Taking a historical approach, Janet Kraynak finds that the seeds of these developments are paradoxically related to the ideology of digital utopianism that emerged in the late 1960s with the rise of a social model of computing, a set of beliefs furthered by the neo-liberal tech ideology in the 1990s, and the popularization of networked computing. The result of this ongoing cultural worldview, which dovetails with the principles of progressive artistic strategies of the past, is a critical blindness in art historical discourse that ultimately compromises art’s historically important role in furthering radical democratic aims.
Participatory Design and Social Transformation
Participatory Design and Social Transformation introduces theories and methodologies for using image-oriented narratives as modes of inquiry and proposition toward greater justice and equity for society and the environment. Participatory artistic- and design-based research encounters – being, making, and learning with people, things, and situations – are explored through practices that utilize image-oriented and cinematic narratives. Collaborative alliances are invited to consider aesthetics, visuality, attunement, reflection, reciprocity, and care as a means for transdisciplinary approaches that foster generative and ethically responsible conditions toward collective liberation. The des...
Hollis Frampton
Hollis Frampton was an American filmmaker, photographer, and theorist who bridged the experimental film and contemporary art worlds in the 1960s and 1970s. Best known for avant-garde films including Zorns Lemma (1970) and (nostalgia) (1971), Frampton spent his later years working on the unfinished epic Magellan, a monumental cycle that used the metaphor of Ferdinand Magellan’s circumnavigation of the world to rethink the natures and meanings of history, modernity, and cinema. Frampton’s career was cut short by cancer at age 48, with his vast ambitions for the project left incomplete. This book is a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of this remarkable figure’s work in its totalit...
Camille Henrot
Das künstlerische Spektrum der französischen Künstlerin Camille Henrot (*1978) umfasst die Bereiche Film, Malerei, Zeichnung, Skulptur und Installation. Henrots Einflüsse sind vielfältig und reichen von der Selbsthilfe über die Kulturanthropologie bis hin zu den sozialen Medien in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit dem sich verändernden Status der Informationsverbreitung und der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Henrots vielschichte Kunst stellt die Frage, was es bedeutet, gleichzeitig ein privates Individuum und ein globales Subjekt zu sein. Diese erste große Monografie über die Künstlerin zeigt Schlüsselwerke vom Beginn von Henrots Karriere bis zum Jahr 2020 und bietet einen intimen Blick auf neue Arbeiten auf Papier und immersive Ausstellungen wie The Pale Fox (2014) und Grosse Fatigue (2013). Über 200 Bilder werden von neuen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen über die Künstlerin begleitet. Die Bandbreite der versammelten Stimmen – Dan Fox, Shanay Jhaveri, Clara Meister, Jane Devery und Pip Wallis – wird dem Facettenreichtum von Henrots Werk gerecht.
