This book presents an original study of the work of Pritzker Prize-winning Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza from the perspective of architecture as an interpretation of human life. It combines philosophical hermeneutics, narrative textual description, and history and theory research to provide a rich account of Siza’s work. The book gives a detailed analysis of three of Siza’s works from this perspective: the Tidal Pool (Piscina das Marés) in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal; the Galician Centre of Contemporary Art (Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea) in Santiago de Compostela, Spain; and the Santa Maria Church in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal. This form of analysis provides insight into t...

This volume is the first comprehensive monograph on Rineke Dijkstra to be published in the United States, accompanying the first U.S. mid-career survey of this important Dutch artists work in photography and video. The catalogue features the Beach Portraits and other early works such as the photographs of new mothers and bullfighters, together with selections from Dijkstras later work, including her most recent video installations. Also featured are series that the artist has been working on continuously for years, such as Almerisa (1994), which documents a young immigrant girl as she grows up and adapts to her new environment. Exhibition curators Jennifer Blessing, Senior Curator, Photography, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Sandra S. Phillips, Senior Curator of Photography, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, contribute essays accompanied by an interview with the artist by Jan van Adrichem, selected interviews with several of the artists subjects, and entries on the artists series by Chelsea Spengemann, as well as the most comprehensive exhibition history and bibliography to date.
The work of Mexican artist Héctor Zamora engages with urban or built environments, both disrupting and rearticulating the viewer’s interaction with the site. Lattice Detour, his most recent intervention, commissioned by The Met for its Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, is fabricated from terracotta bricks produced in Mexico and transported to New York. This compact volume, the first book in English on Zamora, presents images and analysis of the new artwork, setting its creation in the context of his past work. An interview with Zamora sheds further light on his formation as an artist, his process, and his inspirations.
La reivindicación de las artistas, que va ganando peso a lo largo del siglo XX, especialmente desde su segunda mitad, es el resultado, lógicamente, de la incorporación masiva de la mujer al mundo laboral y, en particular, al campo artístico, y de los procesos de cambios estructurales socioculturales experimentados desde la Revolución Industrial. Así, a partir de la década de los 70 del siglo XX, las mujeres adoptan una postura consciente tanto en la producción artística como en el campo teórico, y en la base se hallan dos procesos intelectuales paralelos: la expansión del movimiento feminista y el deseo de expresar una nueva manera de ver. Sin embargo, a partir de ahora, de lo que...
La Universidad se encuentra en pleno progreso desde su tiempo cero; de hecho, halla su carta de naturaleza en la necesidad de mejorar el medio que la nutre y por y para el que existe: la sociedad. Rompiendo las viejas membranas de la enseñanza imperante hasta el siglo XX, las nuevas (r)evoluciones de contenidos y fórmulas, como lo fuera el EEES (o Plan Bolonia) o las TIC, suponen la respuesta a esas actualizadas necesidades docentes y curriculares. Las Humanidades, las Artes, las Ciencias sociales y la Docencia se reescriben, hibridando, gracias a los nuevos lenguajes y herramientas, contenidos otrora lejanos. La nueva Academia es poliédrica, ínter y multi disciplinar, dialógica y colab...

El objetivo de esta obra es presentar los discursos elaborados por una selección de artistas contemporáneos andaluces sobre las identidades sociales y la memoria colectiva que intentan paliar la escasa consideración que recibe el arte como una de las posibles y valiosas aportaciones al debate social. Con ello, pretenden también dar mayor visibilidad y conocimiento de aquella parte de la creación artística andaluza que trata aspectos relacionados con la memoria o con las identidades, paso necesario para que se considere con más convicción el arte como un agente socialmente activo y potencialmente partícipe.
