Carlos Amorales ? The Factory' is the first European retrospective exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Carlos Amorales. It showcases the work of one of Mexico?s most important contemporary artists from the 1990s to the present day.00Carlos Amorales made an extraordinary artist book that accompanies the exhibition, together with the Amsterdam-based designers Mevis & Van Deursen. Amorales collaborated with Mevis & Van Deursen in 2000 on his first book 'Los Amorales', which is now a collector?s item.00By plunging into the depths of a single silhouette taken from Carlos Amorales?s Liquid Archive, letting it run amok and infinitely transform, this highly original artist book coaxes a disturbing understanding of both Carlos Amorales?s recent practice and the perversions of our time.00Including an enlightening manifesto by the artist and a new, enthralling text by author Reinaldo Laddaga, embedded in interweaving and overlapping layers of comic-book-like frames designed by Elsa-Louise Manceaux.00Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (24.11.2019-05.04.2020).
This work includes an essay by Michael Stanley. This catalogue was published to coincide with the first solo exhibition in the UK by the Mexican artist Carlos Amorales featuring new and recent work comprising video, installation, drawing and animation.
Poop in the air, poop in the trees, poop on your chin, poop on your knee: Mexican artist Carlos Amorales' children's book revels in the stuff, rendering these scenes in bold, scatological brown and black silhouette. Amorales (born 1970) has already established an impressive reputation as an artist working in a variety of media--animation, performance, video, sculpture, photography and works on paper--and here explores that singular niche within artists' publications: the artist's book sort of for children and definitely for adults. Caca Grande plays fast and loose with the brown stuff, dispatching it to places it had previously never been, with joyous abandon.
Artists' book on the work of Carlos Amorales focusing on his persona based series Los Amorales.
Born in 1970, Amorales is one of Mexico's most interesting contemporary artists. Drawing from his Liquid Archive, an electronic image bank, he creates drawings, paintings and animation filled with archetypal images of dangerous beauty. This comprehensive publication features an extensive conversation between the artist and the director of the Daros-Latinamerica Collection.
"Featuring the work of twenty artists, this bilingual volume includes several artists' writings ... about artist-run exhibition spaces"--P. [4] of cover.
Visual artist' is a term with untold interpretations, nuances, variations and meanings. But how, as an artist (or designer, photographer, or other ?independent creator?), do you become who you are and who you would like to be?0What fundamental questions, characteristics, dilemmas, ambitions, restrictions and realities play a part? How, as an artist, can you guide your artistic practice, the main criterion being to answer the question: "where do I stand and what do I stand for?"0'Plan and Play, Play and Plan: Positioning by Artists' targets the artist, inviting him or her to reach considerations, often based on analytical models, that will help to determine his position.0The author knows from...
"'Germinal' brings together a series of pieces by Carlos Amorales, who has developed a graphic language that detaches itself from the compression and fragmentation of images compiled in his 'Liquid Archive', a project he developed over more than ten years. This process gave rise to a codified alphabet, to which we do not initially have access, but whose plasticity locates it at the limit between image and sign. This language is used in traditional printed formats like posters, books, and newspapers. Nevertheless, in exploring media like sculpture and video, these works explore the use of language and its limits, posing the question of what lies beyond language"--Publisher's website.
