Jaume Plensa
The exhibition catalogue devoted to the artist Jaume Plensa (Barcelona,1955) undertakes a journey through the work of one of the internationally best known Catalan sculptors. 0With a selection of artworks ranging from the eighties to the present day, the exhibition centres on the dialogue that takes place between his representations of the human figure and his abstract works. This tension is the thread running through his body of work, a corpus that highlights the force of opposing pairs such as lightweight/compact, light/dark, silence/sound, spirit/matter and life/death. His works address the very condition of being: our physical and spiritual essence, our consciousness of ourselves and our...

LB
The title of this book, Autofocus Retina means a configuration of four diamond shaped mirrors connoting the inner mechanics of a camera lens: the photographic eye. Lothar Baumgarten (b. Germany 1944, living and working in Berlin/New York) presents a personal selection of photographs, sculpture, drawings and film, from the late 1960s to the present day. The book follows the creative trajectory of an artist who does not comply with the aesthetic vision of art but who continually questions the logic structuring Western thought and systems of representation. Featuring essays on Baumgarten's work by Hal Foster, Michael Jakob, Craig Owens, Anne Rorimer and Friedrich Wolfram Heubach. Each text has been chosen by the artist himself along with special graphic illustrations and images.
Lost, Loose and Loved
This broad collective exhibition reflects the vitality and vivacity of the art scene in all its complexity, displaying the different creative trends which took hold in the city inside and outside the School of Paris at a time of fervent political debate, held to the backdrop of the new global stage opened by the Cold War. From a broad array of artistic fields, from painting and sculpture to jazz, literature and film, foreign artists dealt with mounting tension by bringing their approaches and hopes to the Parisian milieu in an attempt to connect with the tradition of international modernism but without losing a grip on their own cultural identity.
Cuentos De Reflexión
Cuentos de reflexin es un libro que se ha escrito precisamente con el propsito de hacer reflexionar a los nios para irlos preparando para entrar a la adolescencia con una personalidad segura de lo que quieren hacer con su vida basado en principios de lo que entienden como valores sentimentales, morales y sociales. El objetivo es que al leer los cuentos los nios no sientan que estn siendo sermoneados o regaados, sino ms bien que de una forma fantasiosa, entretenida y amena, ellos mismos saquen sus propias conclusiones.
Campos magnéticos
Arte y política son ámbitos fuertemente interconectados, se atraen y se repelen, dibujan continuidades y provocan rupturas, y los ensayos que se recogen en el presente volumen se hallan sujetos a la tensión entre estas fuerzas. Ya sea como reflexión sobre la condición contemporánea, sobre la práctica artística o sobre los límites y la potencialidad del museo, cada uno de los escritos se halla situado en el tiempo y el espacio, y todos ellos reflejan la trayectoria intelectual de Manuel Borja-Villel al frente de importantes instituciones museísticas, así como algunas de sus inquietudes curatoriales como responsable de numerosas exposiciones o programas públicos a lo largo de los últimos treinta años. Defensor de la hibridación y el trasvase de saberes frente a la compartimentación estanca del conocimiento y su forma de organización, este libro apuesta por la investigación extradisciplinar y la interrelación de múltiples campos. Y es ante todo una invitación a reflexionar sobre el arte, sus organizaciones y sus actores.
Legacies of Violence in Contemporary Spain
This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of the multiple legacies of Francoist violence in contemporary Spain, with a special focus on the exhumations of mass graves from the Civil War and post-war era. The various contributions frame their study within a broader reflection on the nature, function and legacies of state-sanctioned violence in its many forms. Offering perspectives from fields as varied as history, political science, literary and cultural studies, forensic and cultural anthropology, international human rights law, sociology, and art, this volume explores the multifaceted nature of a society’s reckoning with past violence. It speaks not only to those interested in contemporary Spain and Western Europe, but also to those studying issues of transitional and post-transitional justice in other national and regional contexts.
Drama e Comunicação
Todo o mundo é um palco? Este livro defende que sim, sem deixar de examinar os argumentos contrários: existe uma dimensão dramática não apenas nas artes como, por exemplo, na política e nos media; ela é um elemento constitutivo da comunicação, no espaço público e mesmo no privado. Depois de discutir essa representação na vida quotidiana e os contributos da antropologia do espetáculo, aborda-se o drama enquanto género da estética, assim como a tragédia e a comédia. São tratadas as principais teorias do drama, de Aristóteles aos “pósdramáticos”, bem como os principais elementos do espetáculo. A organização é temática, não cronológica, mas acaba por ir expondo a teatralidade ao longo dos séculos, dos fundadores aos futuristas, de Appia a Pina Bausch. Um livro que ajuda a conhecer o teatro e o teatro do mundo. Fundamental tanto para os que se interessam pela comunicação como para os que estão ligados às artes cénicas.
