Conceptualismo(s) poéticos, políticos y periféricos
El libro aborda por primera vez el amplio abanico de los nuevos lenguajes artísticos que irrumpen en España en los años sesenta y setenta del siglo XX. En los Conceptualismo(s) poéticos se analizan los nuevos comportamientos artísticos que se desarrollan desde el fin del Informalismo y el inicio del Pop hasta el paso a los años ochenta, en el marco de un contexto histórico, político y social estigmatizado por la decadencia del franquismo. Destacan artistas individuales y colectivos que inauguran nuevas prácticas como la acción, el vídeo, el cine experimental, las nuevas relaciones entre el arte y el lenguaje, la naturaleza, la política, el objeto… Un arte que se expande hacia l...
Joseph Beuys Manresa
The first performances by Joseph Beuys were a radical turning point for twentieth-century art. Beuys saw art as a transformative action that is both personal and communal, and his expanded artistic practice engaged spirituality, personal mythology, political structures, and symbolic materials. For Manresa, one of his legendary performance actions, which took place on December 15, 1966 in Düsseldorf, he collaborated with the Danish artists Henning Christiansen and Björn Nörgaard. In 1994 those two artists performed a new version of the piece as Manresa Hauptbahnhof. The performance was carried out in Manresa, the city that both gave the name to the original action and also was where Saint ...

Prague, Capital of the Twentieth Century
The story of modernity told through a cultural history of twentieth-century Prague Setting out to recover the roots of modernity in the boulevards, interiors, and arcades of the "city of light," Walter Benjamin dubbed Paris "the capital of the nineteenth century." In this eagerly anticipated sequel to his acclaimed Coasts of Bohemia: A Czech History, Derek Sayer argues that Prague could well be seen as the capital of the much darker twentieth century. Ranging across twentieth-century Prague's astonishingly vibrant and always surprising human landscape, this richly illustrated cultural history describes how the city has experienced (and suffered) more ways of being modern than perhaps any oth...
Henning Christiansen, Bjørn Nørgaard - MANRESA HAUPTBANHOF
Joseph Beuys performed one of his most radical pieces, the Action MANRESA, on 15 December 1966, at the Galerie Schmela in Düsseldorf. He was accompanied by Henning Christiansen and Bjørn Nørgaard. In 1994 these two Danish artists gave continuity to the original piece with the performance Manresa Hauptbahnhof (Manresa, Central Station), which was done in the very city that had given name to the earlier Beuys action. That same city was where in 1522 Saint Ignatius of Loyola had the revelations that led him to write the Spiritual Exercises, a text that wielded a powerful influence on the German artist. This book brings together for the first time all the material related to that second perfo...
Body, Subject & Subjected
Hominids have always been obsessed with representing their own bodies. The first "selfies" were prehistoric negative hand images and human stick figures, followed by stone and ceramic representations of the human figure. Thousands of years later, moving via historic art and literature to contemporary social media, the contemporary term "selfie" was self-generated. The book illuminates some "selfies". This collection of critical essays about the fixation on the human self addresses a multi-faceted geographic set of cultures -- the Iberian Peninsula to pre-Columbian America and Hispanic America -- analysing such representations from medical, literal and metaphorical perspectives over centuries...
Adolf Loos
Adolf Loos held that a building should have a soberly discreet exterior, reserving all its riches for its interior. Given that, any real appreciation of the spatial complexity of the work of one of the most misunderstood architects of the twentieth century requires engagement with his interiors, which this book does, brilliantly. In marked contrast to his contemporaries in the Vienna Secession, who designed their spaces down to the smallest detail, Loos presented himself as a "professor of interior design," perfectly willing to adapt to the habits and tastes of his clients, inviting them to embrace their own tastelessness rather than defer to the discernment of an "aesthete" architect. Together with the future occupant, he designed welcoming interiors whose warmth came from the effective use of quality materials and the creation of a flowing continuity articulated by the furnishings. What Loos created thereby was not merely architecture, but a new culture of living.
Duchamp en España
Este ensayo aborda las claves estéticas de las estancias de Marcel Duchamp en España y especialmente en Cadaqués, donde contó con un anfitrión de excepción, Salvador Dalí, con quien compartió algo más que una simple amistad: la misma posición crítica ante la historia del arte, resolviéndola por caminos formalmente distintos. Desde la presentación en Barcelona del Nu descendant un escalier en 1912 hasta su último proyecto de chimenea anaglifa pocos meses antes de su muerte, en 1968, Duchamp mantuvo una especial relación con Cadaqués. Pasajes inéditos de esa íntima vivencia del lugar, que Duchamp ocultaba bajo su aparente indiferencia y ensimismamiento jugando al ajedrez, se revelan en esa intrahistoria de la obra duchampiana que transcurre en España. Aquí resuelve y termina su último trabajo, Étant donnés, que cierra un importante capítulo de la teatralidad en la pintura y el arte.
Amor, Psyche, Action - Vienna
Viennese Actionism focused attention on individual freedom and helped create greater tolerance, both in the sexual and interpersonal sphere. Viennese gallery owner Julius Hummel has compiled visual material that presents the involvement of the feminine and androgynous, which consciously or subconsciously is contained in the work of the Activists. In-depth essays offer an enthralling basis for the academic analysis of the subject matter.
