Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, ethnic, ...
Objektivität und Imagination
Naturgeschichte nimmt, ausgehend von der Beschreibung und Systematisierung ihrer Objekte, das Prozesshafte der Natur in den Blick und macht Wissen (be-)greifbar. Im Fokus der Beiträge, die Reflexe der Naturgeschichte in der Kunst verhandeln, steht erstmals der Versuch einer Kunstgeschichte der Naturgeschichte für das 20. und 21. Jahrhundert. Die Beiträge beziehen Fragestellungen der Kultur- und Medienwissenschaft, Designwissenschaft, Architekturgeschichte, Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Philosophie und Biologie sowie der präparatorischen und museologischen Praxis mit ein. Im Spannungsfeld von Objektivität und Imagination werden künstlerische Adaptionen und Neuschöpfungen naturkundlicher Konzepte und Methoden, Bildstrategien und Präsentationsformen dargestellt und diskutiert.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
