David Altmejd
David Altmejd (born 1974) is known for his intricate and highly worked room-size installations and sculptures. Seamlessly moving between a variety of aesthetic modes--from an almost ascetic minimalism in works employing plaster and mirror to works teeming with accumulations of crystals, gold chain, thread, taxidermied birds and animals, among other objects--Altmejd's work offers beautifully wrought meditations on the cycles of life and death, interiority and exteriority, sexuality and spirituality. In the most comprehensive consideration of the artist's work to date, the volume includes four essays by a range of writers, who by providing different entry points to Altmejd's art, animate and e...
David Altmejd
Canadian sculptor David Altmejd (born 1974) presents his large-scale Plexiglass installation The Flux and the Puddle, a multilayered, structural environment in which werewolves, smashed mirrors and sculpted heads are strategically placed. I think of the big Plexiglas box as a kind of stage or a laboratory space, Altmejd explained to a reviewer for Art in America. The work is operatic. It's basically about the making of sculpture. Everything you see was made from inside the box. Ideas germinated from the inside. I let the work evolve and grow as much as possible. There's very little that's premeditated; it's not pre-designed. This publication documents the artist's knack for inventing disorienting and complex architectural arrangements.

Misled by Nature
Contemporary Art and the Baroque. Featuring the work of six international artists, this publication examines a recurring facet of contemporary artistic production material excess, accumulation, bravado, asymmetry, and theatricality. The impact of such art is decidedly visual and primeval, with artists creating powerfully immersive environments aimed at enticing, challenging and even unsettling viewers. Three essays discuss ornamentation, hybridity, material sensibilities, transformation and the sublime in contemporary art practice."
Machinic Assemblages of Desire
The concept of assemblage has emerged in recent decades as a central tool for describing, analysing, and transforming dynamic systems in a variety of disciplines. Coined by Deleuze and Guattari in relation to different fields of knowledge, human practices, and nonhuman arrangements, “assemblage” is variously applied today in the arts, philosophy, and human and social sciences, forming links not only between disciplines but also between critical thought and artistic practice. Machinic Assemblages focuses on the concept’s uses, transpositions, and appropriations in the arts, bringing together the voices of artists and philosophers that have been working on and with this topic for many years with those of emerging scholar-practitioners. The volume embraces exciting new and reconceived artistic practices that discuss and challenge existing assemblages, propose new practices within given assemblages, and seek to invent totally unprecedented assemblages.

David Altmejd: 자라나는 오브제
동시대 조각가 데이비드 알트메이드 작가론. 동시대 미술에서 조각의 외연이 설치와 공공미술로 확장되는 흐름과는 다르게, 작업 ‘과정’에 주목함으로써 한동안 시들해진 ‘몸’에 대한 담론을 ‘자라나는 물질’의 관점에서 새롭게 제시하는 조각가의 작품세계를 살펴본다. 오브제가 생명을 얻는 과정과 그동안 우리가 망각해 왔고 편견으로 무시해 왔던 ‘잔존하는’ 이미지들을 조각으로 ‘육화’하는 과정이 생생히 드러난다. 전체 분량에 비해 컬러 도판이 많아 그의 작품세계를 한 눈에 훑어볼 수 있다.
Global Mobilities
Global Mobilities illustrates the significant engagement of museums and archives with populations that have experienced forced or willing migration: emigrants, exiles, refugees, asylum seekers, and others. The volume explores the role of public institutions in the politics of integration and cultural diversity, analyzing their efforts to further the inclusion of racial and ethnic minority populations. Emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural knowledge and exchange, global case studies examine the conflicts inherent in such efforts, considering key issues such as whether to focus on origins or destinations, as well as whether assimilation, integration, or an entirely new model would be the most effective approach. This collection provides an insight into diverse perspectives, not only of museum practitioners and scholars, but also the voices of artists, visitors, undocumented immigrants, and other members of source communities. Global Mobilities is an often provocative and thought-inspiring resource which offers a comprehensive overview of the field for those interested in understanding its complexities.
