The Last Pictures
Human civilizations' longest lasting artifacts are not the great Pyramids of Giza, nor the cave paintings at Lascaux, but the communications satellites that circle our planet. In a stationary orbit above the equator, the satellites that broadcast our TV signals, route our phone calls, and process our credit card transactions experience no atmospheric drag. Their inert hulls will continue to drift around Earth until the Sun expands into a red giant and engulfs them about 4.5 billion years from now. The Last Pictures, co-published by Creative Time Books, is rooted in the premise that these communications satellites will ultimately become the cultural and material ruins of the late 20th and ear...
In & Out of Amsterdam
During the 1960s & 1970s, Amsterdam was a nexus of intense art activities, drawing artists from all over the world. 'In & Out Of Amsterdam' presents more than 120 works - including works on paper, installations, photographs & films - by artists who were part of this remarkable creative culture.
Wherever I Am
"Artists Yael Bartana and Emily Jacir were both born in 1970. Their work in video, photography and other media explores what it means to be, respectively, Israeli and Palestinian. Addressing issues of national identity, displacement and personal freedom, they are among the most impressive artists of their generation." "Lee Miller (1907-1977) has a unique place in the history of twentieth century photography. She is best known for her Surrealist infused reports for Vogue Magazine during the Second World War." "This special book, which both accompanies and is a legacy of the exhibition Wherever I Am, includes essays on Yael Bartana's work by award winning novelist Linda Grant and by curator Galit Eilat; on Emily Jacir's work by critic Tom Vanderbilt and the late Edward W. Said, a writer and intellectual of world renown; and on Lee Miller's wartime photography by David Alan Mellor, Professor of Art History at the University of Sussex." "With an introduction by Andrew Nairne, curator of Wherever I Am and Director of Modern Art Oxford, discussing the background to the exhibition, the book also includes reproductions of works by each artist, biographies and bibliographies."--BOOK JACKET.
Pikin Slee
Known for her unique approach to fashion photography, Viviane Sassen has taken yet another stylistic detour in her latest collection, which focuese on the inhabitants of a remote village on the Upper Suriname River. Sassen's lens captures the natural beauty of the very traditional way of living, where mundane objects can appear extraordinary against the background of nature's overwhelming presence.
Introjection
Introjection marks the first mid-career survey of the internationally recognized video artist Tony Oursler. Plumbing popular and punk culture for the twisted icons that structure our collective unconscious, Oursler creates fragmentary images and scenes that might belong to the hallucinations of a delinquent adolescent on a bad trip. The viewer is left to imagine what ungodly narrative was frozen in time to create such surreal, but somehow uncomfortably familiar, mayhem. Though darkly humorous, his work, known to most for his use of sculptural rag dolls onto which he projects the video image of a human face, delves deeply into the question of how the twinned forces of sex and violence, gender and power function in our culture. This catalogue traces the evolution of Oursler's career from early single channel videos through his current mixed-media installations and experiments in digital media. Combining sculpture, video, performance, and text, Oursler's work addresses complex contemporary issues with empathy, insight, and wit. Also included are four critical essays, two interviews, an essay by the artist as well as a comprehensive exhibition history and bibliography.
Phenomenal
During the 1960s and 1970s, a loosely affiliated group of Los Angeles artists--including Larry Bell, Mary Corse, Robert Irwin, James Turrell, and Doug Wheeler--more intrigued by questions of perception than by the crafting of discrete objects, embraced light as their primary medium. Whether by directing the flow of natural light, embedding artificial light within objects or architecture, or playing with light through the use of reflective, translucent, or transparent materials, each of these artists created situations capable of stimulating heightened sensory awareness in the receptive viewer. Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface, companion book to the exhibition of the same name, ex...
