A industria galega dos curtumes
As fábricas de curtumes constituíron unha auténtica industria nacional para Galicia tanto pola súa certa relevancia nalgúns dos períodos da historia industrial galega coma polo seu esparexemento polo territorio onde un de cada catro concellos contou co seu propio curtidoiro, presente en case que todas as comarcas do país, que fornecía o coiro preciso para facer un bo par de zocos. Este sector, logo de ser líder a nivel estatal no século XIX, colapsa na década dos anos sesenta, coa aparición do zapato mecánico, pasando de case 200 fábricas a finais dos anos cincuenta a 11 a comezos dos oitenta. A ducia de casos de rehabilitación xa operados por toda a xeografía galega deberan ...

An Ethnic At Large
This work begins with a boy named Geraldo growing up Sicilian in Rochester, New York, and ends with the author breakfasting with Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House. It is a portrait of what it was like to come of age in the 1930s and 1940s.
New Art of Cuba
Starting with the groundbreaking 1981 exhibit called "Volumen I," New Art of Cuba provided the first comprehensive look at the works of the first generation of Cuban artists completely shaped by the 1959 revolution. This revised edition includes a new epilogue that discusses developments in Cuban art since the book's publication in 1994, including the exodus of artists in the early 1990s, the effects of the new dollar economy on the status of artists, and the shift away from socialist themes to more personal concerns in the artists' works. Twenty-four new color plates augment the more than 200 b&w illustrations of the original volume.
Artistic Practices
Art matters. It affects us in our daily lives and is full of meanings that are valuable to all of us. As a catalyst for social interactions, art may either cause public conflict and create dissensions or facilitate mutual understanding and strengthen collective bonds. All of this is grounded in practices that develop and change along social interaction, cultural dynamics, as well as technological and economic lines. So how is art formed and produced? What are the relevant constraints and challenges that artists experience in the creative process? And what constitutes artistic agency? This collection of contributions from international, interdisciplinary experts explores particular case studi...

Photo Respiration
"Trained as a sculptor, Japanese artist Tokihiro Sato first turned to photography as a means of documenting his work. It is through his photographs, however, that the artist has found a way to successfully blend process and product. Sato creates long-exposure photographs in which he travels through the frame of the landscape, drawing with a flashlight (by night) or reflecting sunlight back at the camera with a mirror (by day). These lights are recorded as traces of the artist's presence, while he himself is rendered invisible by his motion during the course of the exposure. Installed as large-scale transparencies that are lit from behind, these glowing images embody presence and absence, and...
