Endless Andness
In Endless Andness, Mieke Bal pioneers a new understanding of the political potential of abstract art which does not passively yield its meaning to the viewer but creates it anew - an art perceived not only through the retina but experienced viscerally. In this book, the third of her companion volumes on art's political agency, Bal explores perception through an intense engagement with the work of Belgian sculptor Ann Veronica Janssens. In a series of vividly-recalled encounters with Janssen's practice over a number of years, Balpresents a new conception of embodied perception - art experienced in a body conjured into participation and transformed by the experience. From Janssens' 'mist room...
Ann Veronica Janssens
Experienced gathers together 30 years of work by artist Ann Veronica Janssens. Released as the companion to her 2009 exhibition Are You Experienced, curated for the Espai d'Art Contemporani de Castello, the book builds on that body of work, presenting more than 6000 images across some 500 pages. Packed with a variety of materials from the artist's personal archive, Experienced gives a panoramic view of Janssens' work and process.
Women's Work is Never Done
'Women's Work is Never Done' brings together the twenty most important essays by internationally acclaimed art critic and curator Catherine de Zegher. Together with Gerald McMaster, de Zegher has been appointed artistic director of this year's 18th Biennale of Sydney. Her essays on female artists, which have now been collected for the first time, cover a period of thirteen years. Over the years De Zegher's essays launched and consolidated the careers of such artists as Joelle Tuerlinckx, Ann Veronica Janssens, Eva Hesse and Bracha L. Ettinger. Thanks to De Zegher, these artists are now wildly acclaimed and acknowledged in the art world for their cutting edge, groundbreaking artistic activism that has shaped female artistic practice from the late 19th century onwards.
The Absent Museum
'The Absent Museum' is a large thematic exhibition that explores the absence of museums in public debates today. What relation can exist between historical awareness and aesthetic commitment? How can artists maintain the tension between globalisation's paradoxes and history's turbulences, and their individual sensibilities and voices? Works and new productions by around 49 artists - both contemporary and those active in the recent past - map what is at stake for museums and the societies that inspire them.
Bulgari. Serpenti. Il potere delle metamorfosi-The power of metamorphosis. Ediz. illustrata
Metamorphosis is a central theme of contemporary creativity, investigated by artists, stylists, designers, philosophers and craftsmen who have crossed the rigid fences of their respective disciplines in search of their changing inclusiveness. With a pioneering spirit, Bulgari also explores them in their different meanings: symbolic, creative and artistic. The protagonist of the narration is the snake, an emblem of regeneration in all cultures and an icon of the goldsmith mastery of the Rome maison from the 1940s to today.0In symbolic metamorphoses, the reptile embodies the archetype of transformation and renewal that refers to the dualism of life, while in the creative ones its seductive spe...
