Nic Nicosia
Photographer and filmmaker Nic Nicosia makes pictures. Since the late 1970s, Nicosia has staged and constructed sets, objects, and situations to be photographed rather than to reproduce something that already exists. These conceptual fabrications have ranged from elaborate sets with live actors to dioramas and abstract constructions. Whether his pictures contain a disturbing suburban narrative, or are fabricated by the act of drawing, or are simply created by the use of common objects with dramatic lighting, the familiar thread of Nicosia's unique vision and sensibility is always present. Nic Nicosia is the first major publication of the artist's work and covers his entire oeuvre through 201...

Nic Nicosia
This is the first and only book dedicated to Nic Nicosia's work and covers 20 years of activity by this Dallas-based artist whose photographs and films comment on suburban America, warts and all. Nicosa was at the forefront of the revolutionary changes taking place in photography in the early 80s when artists began to make staged and manipulated color photographs, often presented in a large format. The book focuses on nine series of photographs made since 1979 along with four films/videos he has made since 1977. The catalogue is richly illustrated and includes essays by Dana Frits-Hansen, Lynn M. Herbert, and Dave Hickey. Nicosa was born in 1951 in Dallas, Texas, where he currently lives. His works are in the collections of numerous museums including the Guggenheim, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.

Automotive Prosthetic
In the twenty-first century, we are continually confronted with the existential side of technology—the relationships between identity and the mechanizations that have become extensions of the self. Focusing on one of humanity’s most ubiquitous machines, Automotive Prosthetic: Technological Mediation and the Car in Conceptual Art combines critical theory and new media theory to form the first philosophical analysis of the car within works of conceptual art. These works are broadly defined to encompass a wide range of creative expressions, particularly in car-based conceptual art by both older, established artists and younger, emerging artists, including Ed Ruscha, Martha Rosler, Richard P...
The Central Convent of Hospitallers and Templars
From their humble beginnings in Jerusalem as a late eleventh-century hospital and an early twelfth-century pilgrim escort, Hospitallers and Templars evolved into international military religious orders, engaged in numerous charitable, economic, and military pursuits. At the heart of each of these communities, and in many ways a mirror of their growth and adaptability, was a central convent led by several high officials and headquartered first in Jerusalem (to 1187), then in Acre (1191-1291), and then on Cyprus (since 1291), from where the Hospitallers conquered Rhodes (1306-1310), and where fate in the form of a heresy trial caught up with the Templars. The history, organization, and personnel of these two central convents to 1310 are the subject of this comparative study.
