The arts.
Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art
Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art volume calls attention to the unexpected prevalence of ventriloqual motifs and strategies within contemporary art. Engaging with issues of voice, embodiment, power, and projection, the case studies assembled in this volume span a range of media from painting, sculpture, and photography to installation, performance, architecture, and video. Importantly, they both examine and enact ventriloqual practices, and do so as a means of interrogating and performatively bearing out contemporary conceptions of authorship, subjectivity, and performance. Put otherwise, the chapters in this book oscillate seamlessly between art history, theory, and criticism through both analytical and performative means. Across twelve essays on ventriloquism in contemporary art, the authors, who are curators, historians, and artists, shine light on this outdated practice, repositioning it as a conspicuous and meaningful trend within a range of artistic practices today. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, media studies, performance, museum/curatorial studies, and theater.
Amedeo Modigliani, 1884-1920
The controversial darling and target of the popular press: Scandalous Amedeo Modigliani To contemporaries, Amedeo Modigliani was the very definition of Parisian Bohemia, the controversial darling and target of the popular press and the model on which many a novel, play and film was based. As an artist, the scandalous Modigliani made his name chiefly with his celebrated pictures of women, with almond eyes and long necks and bodies. His style had ancient roots that lay deep in classical antiquity or Africa. But his portraits of intellectual giants of the age, friends such as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau or Diego Rivera, were inimitable also. In Doris Krystof's study, the scene Modigliani was the hero of comes alive, and his sensitive paintings and sculptures speak in tongues.

Marcel Odenbach
Mit den Mitteln von Collage und Montage und stets in Verbindung zur eigenen Biografie untersucht Marcel Odenbach politisch und kulturell relevante Themen seiner Zeit, wie etwa die Aufarbeitung der NS-Verbrechen, Erinnerungskultur, das Wirken und Nachwirken des europäischen Kolonialismus in Afrika, Rassismus und immer wieder das Verhältnis von Individuum und Gesellschaft.Der in Köln, Berlin und zeitweise in Ghana lebende Künstler Marcel Odenbach (*1953) arbeitet seit 1976 mit Video. Seine filmischen Collagen und Installationen haben dazu beigetragen, dass Videokunst heute zentrales Medium der internationalen Gegenwartskunst ist. Parallel dazu ist ein umfangreiches grafisches Werk entstanden. In der Zusammenschau von Video- und Papierarbeiten wird deutlich, dass Odenbach Kunst und Kultur unter einer gesellschaftspolitischen Perspektive betrachtet und gleichzeitig auf die Stärke des sinnlich-ästhetischen Erlebens von Bildern setzt.

Non-literary Fiction
Explores a new form of fiction that emerged in late-twentieth-century visual art across the Americas. With Non-literary Fiction, Esther Gabara examines how contemporary art produced across the Americas has reacted to the rising tide of neoliberal regimes, focusing on the crucial role of fiction in daily politics. Gabara argues that these fictions depart from familiar literary narrative structures and emerge in the new mediums and practices that have revolutionized contemporary art. Each chapter details how fiction is created through visual art forms—in performance and body art, posters, mail art, found objects, and installations. For Gabara, these fictions comprise a type of art that asks ...
Martin Kippenberger
"Martin Kippenberger's work has always been inextricably linked with his personal life, to the extent that at times this has dominated its critical reception. This book aims to redress the balance, concentrating on his art and exploring its visual and conceptual aspects. Kippenberger's varied oeuvre included paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, photography, prints, and artist's books, executed in a wide variety of styles. The authors examine the themes underlying his work, including Socialist Realism and kitsch; self portraiture and myth; punk and anti-romanticism; exile and homelessness; the importance of humour and its roots in German political realities; and the artist's interest in language and the influence on his work of literature. The inclusion of a new translation of Kippenberger's final interview ensures his own, idiosyncratic voice is present."--BOOK JACKET.
