On the Destruction of Art-- Or Conflict and Art, Or Trauma and the Art of Healing
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev reflects on the relationship between destruction and art, and on art's converse capacity for healing. Guiding us through a web of etymological, historical, philosophical, personal and art historical references, she takes the reader from Melanie Klein's ideas on the dyadic relationship between mother and child and Walter Benjamin's reflection on Klee's "Angelus Novus," to Man Ray's metronomes and Objects of Destruction, Lee Miller's photographs from the end of World War II, Gustav Metzger's "Manifesto of Auto-Destruction" and the destroyed Bamiyan Buddhas, which are accompanied by Michael Petzet's report of ICOMOS's response to the monuments. Also included are artworks by Michael Rakowitz, drawings and poems by Anna Boghiguian and a postscript by art historian Dario Gamboni on the concept of "world heritage" and its attendant legislation. For Christov-Bakargiev, "the sphere of art is poised on the edge of the private and of history, and becomes the location where one can experiment the possibilities of being on the edge of the anthropocentric, where the rubble lies."

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev reflects on the historical as well as personal notion of destruction and art, as well as on the potential healing power that art can have. Guiding us through a web of etymological, historical, philosophical, personal, and art historical references, she takes the reader from Melanie Klein's thinking about the dyadic relationship between mother and child and Walter Benjamin's reflection on Klee's Angelus Novus, to object studies starting with Man Ray's metronomes, his Objects of Destruction, and Lee Miller's photographs from the end of World War II, to Gustav Metzger's "Manifesto of Auto-Destruction," to melted objects from the Beirut National Museum and the blown-up...
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev
In ihrem »Brief an einen Freund« gibt die künstlerische Leiterin der dOCUMENTA (13), Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, einen Einblick in ihren Arbeitsprozess und umreißt dabei einige Schlüsselfragen der 2012 stattfindenden Ausstellung. In unterschiedlichen Stimmen – in Form von Geschichten, theoretischer Spekulation, Reisetagebuch, Pressemitteilung oder kritischer Reflexion – beschreibt sie die dOCUMENTA (13) als etwas, das über eine Ausstellung hinausgeht: Für sie ist es ein Geisteszustand. Es handelt sich sowohl um eine Konstellation aus künstlerischen Handlungen und Gesten, die bereits jetzt stattfinden, als auch um eine Ausstellung, die am 6. Juni 2010 eröffnen und für 100 Tage l...

John Wesley
A major figure in eighteenth-century Christianity, John Wesley sought to combine the essential elements of the Catholic and Evangelical traditions and to restore to the laity a vital role in church life. He began one of the most dynamic movements in the history of modern Protestantism, a movement which eventually produced the Methodist churches. This volume offers a representative selection of theological writings by Wesley and includes historically oriented introductions and footnotes which indicate Wesley's Anglican, patristic, and biblical sources.
Thinking Contemporary Curating
"'Thinking contemporary curating' is the first publication to comprehensively explore what is distinctive about contemporary curatorial thought. In five essays, art historian, critic, and theorist Terry Smith surveys the international landscape of current discourse; explores a number of exhibitions that show contemporaneity in present, recent, and post art; describes the enormous growth world-wide of exhibitionary infrastructure and the instability that haunts it; re-examines the phenomenon of artist-curators and curator-artists; and assesses a number of key tendencies in curating - such as the reimagined museum, the expanded exhibition, historicization and recuration, infrastructural activism, and engaged spectatorship - as responses to contemporary conditions." -- book cover.
