Astronaut II
Astronaut II: Journeys in Time & Space by Scott Listfield invites readers on a captivating journey through the mind and work of the acclaimed artist, known for his iconic depictions of a lone astronaut navigating surreal, pop-culture-laden landscapes. Spanning six transformative years of Listfield's career after the release of his debut monograph Astronaut, this beautifully crafted sequel showcases over 300 new paintings that reflect not only on society's challenges--political upheaval, environmental crises, and a global pandemic--but also on deeply personal themes of loss, nostalgia, and legacy. As Listfield's astronaut explores fractured worlds and shifting timelines, readers are invited t...
Astronaut
This monograph features dozens of works from prolific American painter Scott Listfield's Astronaut series. In these paintings, Scott's protagonist, a helmeted and very human astronaut, tours a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, landmarks, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references, all of which are rendered strangely exotic and alien by the inclusion of the viewpoint of this lone tourist, who is always hermetically sealed from the reality and implications of his surroundings. The inclusion of geometric shapes and digital artifacts, such as QR codes, and the presence of exotic animals―even dinosaurs―in these quotidian scenes adds to the strangeness of the compositions, deepening Scott's commentary on the modern world and compressing time and space and layers of reality in a way that makes us pull back from the banal and experience the everyday as a visitor from a distant time or place might see it.
We Are All Astronauts
"We are all astronauts", the American architect and thinker Richard Buckminster Fuller wrote in 1968 in his book Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, where he compared Earth to a spaceship, provided only with exhaustible resources while flying through space. These words show the presence the phenomenon of the astronaut and the cosmonaut had in the public mind from the second half of the twentieth century on: Buckminster Fuller was able to drive his point home by asking his audience to identify with one of the most prominent figures in the public sphere then: the space traveler. At the same time, Buckminster Fuller's words themselves seem to have played a significant role in further shaping the space-exploring human as a symbol and an image of humankind in general. The twelve contributions in this book by authors from the fields of literature, music, politics, history, the visual arts, film, computer games, comics, social sciences, and media theory track the development, changes and dynamics of this symbol by analyzing the various images of the astronaut and the cosmonaut as constructed throughout the different decades of space exploration, from its beginning to the present day.
