Painting
Essential writings thatconsider the diverse meanings of contemporary painting since its postconceptualrevival.
Fiona Rae
ELEMENTE DER ENERGIE UND KOMPLEXITÄT Fiona Rae (geb. 1963 in Hongkong, lebt und arbeitet in London) wurde mit ihrer abstrakten Malerei einem breiten Publikum mit der Teilnahme an der legendären Ausstellung Freeze 1988 in den Londoner Docklands bekannt. Sie war damit eine der frühen Vertreterinnen der Young British Artists, die nicht nur die britische Kunstwelt verändern sollten. Ausgehend von einer konzeptuellen Auseinandersetzung mit den Fragestellungen und Möglichkeiten der abstrakten Malerei sind Raes unverkennbare Arbeiten bis heute herausragend und wegweisend. 2011 wurde sie als eine der ersten Frauen als Professorin für Malerei an die Royal Academy berufen. Der Katalog zeigt erstmals die wichtigsten Bilder aus dieser Zeit, die Row Paintings. Sie markieren den Beginn des international beachteten Werks der Künstlerin. Terry R. Myers würdigt in seinem Essay die Bedeutung der Row Paintings in historischem Zusammenhang sowie im aktuellen Diskurs der Malerei.

Joe Zucker
A comprehensive monograph of the work of Joe Zucker, one of the most innovative artists of the mid-twentieth century. This new monograph on the art of Joe Zucker is a career-spanning survey that deals with all the artist’s various bodies of work, from his grid paintings of the 1960s to his latest work, including the monumental 1000 Brushstrokes (2015– 2016). Zucker’s art is rooted in a conceptual framework where tools, materials, processes, procedures, content, and subject matter are all interrelated. Due to the frequent transformations in his art from one style to another, and thus his work has not been easily characterized or identified. Nevertheless, he has forged a powerful artisti...

WAC and Second Language Writers
Editors and contributors pursue the ambitious goal of including within WAC theory, research, and practice the differing perspectives, educational experiences, and voices of second-language writers. The chapters within this collection not only report new research but also share a wealth of pedagogical, curricular, and programmatic practices relevant to second-language writers. Representing a range of institutional perspectives—including those of students and faculty at public universities, community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and English-language schools—and a diverse set of geographical and cultural contexts, the editors and contributors report on work taking place in the United States, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Varda Caivano
Each of London-based artist Varda Caivano's canvases represents an inquiry into the practice of painting, performed over time. Layers of paint are applied, then rubbed, scratched, and reworked to create compositions that recall both the physicality of Abstract Expressionism and the mysticism of Redon. In this tension, Caivano negotiates the legacies of abstract painting with a clarity of means and materials. Self-described as an "old-fashioned painter," Caivano's process is intuitive, playful, and open-ended. She develops several paintings simultaneously in the studio, creating individual works that, when displayed together, contribute distinct phrases to a dynamic whole. In constant flux, t...

Planetary Health
Human health depends on the health of the planet. Earth’s natural systems—the air, the water, the biodiversity, the climate—are our life support systems. Yet climate change, biodiversity loss, scarcity of land and freshwater, pollution and other threats are degrading these systems. The emerging field of planetary health aims to understand how these changes threaten our health and how to protect ourselves and the rest of the biosphere. Planetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves provides a readable introduction to this new paradigm. With an interdisciplinary approach, the book addresses a wide range of health impacts felt in the Anthropocene, including food and nutrition, i...
