Alloy of Love
Honorable mention for the 2009 AAM Museum Publications Design Competition San Antonio-based artist Dario Robleto is well known for his astonishing hand-crafted objects: works that reflect his intense investigatioin of such wide-ranging topics as science, music, popular culture, philosophy, war, and American history. Utilizing a lengthy roster of bizarre and disparate materials--including melted and pulverized vinyl records, artifacts gleaned from battlefields, rare herbs and minerals, and even prehistoric fossils and human bones--Robleto excavates conceptually-loaded elements from the past. He then seamlessly combines and refashions these potent details into poetic works that speak volumes a...

Dario Robleto
Survival Does Not Lie in the Heavens looks at Dario Robleto's ingenious adaptations of nineteenth-century folk traditions to explore mortality and memorialization. Robleto's sculptural objects use the model of the folksy mantelpiece keepsake--the elaborately framed photograph, the trophy, commemorative embroidery--and counter their traditionally saccharine, sentimental appeal with brilliant conceptual gestures. Thus, paper pulped from soldier's letters home (from various wars) are repurposed to create a keepsake of silk, goldleaf and seashells; a homeopathic treatment for "Human Longing" includes medicine made from a ground-up recording of Sylvia Plath; and a framed memorial to Marie Louise Meilleur, who died at the aged of 117, includes hair lockets made of stretched audiotape recordings of other supercentarians. Throughout these works, Robleto's concern is with the human management of death through objects, affirming that the task of survival takes place here on earth.

Dario Robleto confronts the experience of war through its material remnants. Materials for his sculptures may include lead marbles used by Civil War soldiers, soldiers' letters to sweethearts and human bone dust. Robleto then expertly fashions these into improbably poignant, handmade objects such as a child's mourning dress, an audiotape and even a carafe of wine.

Influenced by DJ culture, mixing and sampling, Texas artist Dario Robleto breaks down and reassembles cultural relics, using materials like bone dust, vinyl records and bullet lead to form works that resemble authentic artifacts. This volume looks like a rock album cover on the outside and an antebellum photo album inside, with flip-up tipped-in photographs.

Dario Robleto Unknown and Solitary Seas
Dario Robleto's Exhibition at the Radcliffe Institute examines the 19th-century origins of the pulse wave as a graphic expression of internal life. The artist explores the profundity and confusion of this moment, when ineffable sensory and emotional experiences-everything from the pleasure of eating chocolate to the panic of heart failure-were first made visible as data. Rendering historic pulse waves in gleaming steel and brass, printing and retrieving them from layers of soot, converting them into video and engineered sound, Robleto encourages us to attend to them with resonant forms of empathy, to reflect upon the lives of the 19th-century subjects who bequeathed them to us, and ultimatel...
The Heart's Knowledge: Science and Empathy in the Art of Dario Robleto
A thematic appraisal of Robleto's intertwined fascinations with the human heart and the cosmic boundaries of perception The prints, sculptures and films of Houston-based artist Dario Robleto (born 1972) explore the pathos and the speculative potential of scientific inquiry. Structured around three themes that run through Robleto's art--heartbeats, wavelengths and horizons--this book traces his intertwined fascinations with the human heart and the cosmic boundaries of perception. Through contributions across the disciplines of musicology, anthropology, cardiology, engineering, history of science and art history, The Heart's Knowledge offers an engaging companion to Robleto's wide-ranging work. Richly illustrated with images, the volume includes selections from his 2017 portfolio The First Time, The Heart (A Portrait of Life 1854-1913), which transforms the pulse waves of early cardiography into a gallery of vanished souls, and the astral projections in such films as The Boundary of Life is Quietly Crossed (2020).
The Oxford Handbook of Adaptation Studies
This collection of forty new essays, written by the leading scholars in adaptation studies and distinguished contributors from outside the field, is the most comprehensive volume on adaptation ever published. Written to appeal alike to specialists in adaptation, scholars in allied fields, and general readers, it hearkens back to the foundations of adaptation studies a century and more ago, surveys its ferment of activity over the past twenty years, and looks forward to the future. It considers the very different problems in adapting the classics, from the Bible to Frankenstein to Philip Roth, and the commons, from online mashups and remixes to adult movies. It surveys a dizzying range of ada...
