David Lamelas
Published by the University Art Museum, California State University, Long Beach in association with Getty Publications The renowned Argentine conceptual artist David Lamelas (born 1946) has an expansive oeuvre of sensory, restive, and evocative work. This book, published to coincide with the first monographic exhibition of the artist’s work in the United States, offers an incisive look into Lamelas’s art. The guiding analytic theme is the artist’s adaptability to place and circumstance, which invariably influences his creative production. Lamelas left Argentina in the mid-1960s to study at Saint Martin’s in London. Since then, he has divided his time among various cities. While the typical narrative invoked about artists like Lamelas is one of “internationalism,” his nomadic movement from one place or conceptual framework to the next has always been more “postnational” than “international.”

New Tendencies
An account of a major international art movement originating in the former Yugoslavia in the 1960s, which anticipated key aspects of information aesthetics. New Tendencies, a nonaligned modernist art movement, emerged in the early 1960s in the former Yugoslavia, a nonaligned country. It represented a new sensibility, rejecting both Abstract Expressionism and socialist realism in an attempt to formulate an art adequate to the age of advanced mass production. In this book, Armin Medosch examines the development of New Tendencies as a major international art movement in the context of social, political, and technological history. Doing so, he traces concurrent paradigm shifts: the change from F...
I luoghi del contemporaneo / Contemporary sites
Il nostro Paese, negli ultimi anni, ha conosciuto una significativa e diffusa rinascita dell’interesse e dell’attenzione verso l’arte contemporanea, sia da parte dei cittadini che delle istituzioni centrali e periferiche. Mai come in questi ultimi anni si è infatti assistito ad una vivacità di iniziative rivolte ad ogni aspetto della creatività contemporanea si pensi, in particolare, al MAXXI di Roma, al MART di Rovereto e all’attuale edizione della Biennale di Venezia. Questo volume è una importante manifestazione della volontà politica di accordo tra lo Stato e gli altri livelli di governo operanti sul territorio nazionale, nel settore dell’arte contemporanea.

Resolutions
Resolutions provides, by far, the best, boldest, and most thorough account to date of video art and activism, practice, and theory. The long-awaited follow-up to a project conducted by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), this volume presents original articles by many of the most interesting video artists, filmmakers, and critical theorists writing today. Their subjects, from video pedagogy to emerging technologies, are many and varied and together constitute a clear and complete picture of the state of the medium. Constructed like an inquiry into newly forming video practice, the collection at once interweaves and questions a series of relationships among politics, popular culture, artistic intervention, and social practices. The often provocative essays, on topics ranging from video porn to Geraldo Rivera to lesbian representation to the politics of video memory, contribute significantly to a much needed reconceptualization of the electronic medium.
