Bøger om Konceptualisme

"Barndommens kernelæsning kidnappet af græsk avantgardist og klippe-klistret til hjertevarmende præcist mareridt."- Lars Bukdahl, Weekendavisen"(...) et seriøst projekt og et sjældent og sjældent smukt eksperiment, som Forlæns har givet et flot, velovervejet og passende udstyr. En udgivelse, der fortjener at finde sit publikum." - Christian Skovgaard, Nummer 9 - magasinet for tegneserier Tegneserieskaberen Ilan Manouach præsenterer med sit seneste konceptuelle værk 'Visuelt kompendium over konventionelle genretræk i den fransk-belgiske tegneserielitteratur' en under­søgelse af den fransk-belgiske tegneserietradition. I løbet af en enkelt eftermiddag købte Manouach 48 forskellige tegneseriealbum i tegneserieantikvariater i Bruxelles, alle i standardformatet 48CC (48 sider i farver og hardcover – det mest gængse tegneserieformat i Frankrig/Belgien). Af disse tegneserier har han arrangeret en vældig symfoni af genrens velkendte byggesten: talebobler og lydord, historiske og geografiske referencer, racestereotyper, hajfinner, kropsformede huller, røgskyer, vanddråber, fartstriber og rebusser.Tilsammen danner disse elementer et abstrakt og syret univers, hvor Manouach undersøger hvilke elementer den indflydelsesrige fransk-belgiske tegneserietradition er opbygget af. 'Visuelt kompendium' er skabt ud fra en kompositionsteknik, der stammer fra orkestermusik. Derfor frigør de enkelte elementer og karakterer sig fra de originale fortællinger og danner i stedet en orkestral og genreudfordrende kortlægning af tegneserien som medie. Om forfatteren: Ilan Manouach (født 1980 i Athen) er en inter­nationalt anerkendt konceptuel tegneserieskaber. Blandt hans mange bogprojekter kan nævnes Katz (en gentegning af hele Art Speigelmans 'Maus' – men med katte i alle rollerne), en udgave af De Sorte Smølfer – kun trykt i farven cyan, og en udgave af 'Rasmus Klump høster' – hvor alle figurer bortset fra Pelle er retoucheret væk. På dansk er han tidligere udkommet med fotobogen 'Harvested' (Forlæns 2016). Manouach deltager i workshops og talks om avantgarde-tegneserier over hele verden, ofte centreret om hovedprojektet Shapereader, et konstrueret taktilt verdenssprog, der kan bl.a. kan ses som en form for tegneserie for blinde. Manouach er tilknyttet Aalto Universitet i Helsinki, hvor han forsker i eksperimenterende tegneserier.

Dall'adolescenza e dalla giovinezza, mi sono interessato a soggetti diversi che sembravano non correlati. Non credo che sia naturale per l'essere umano specializzarsi in un'area e costruire l'intera vita su questa base. Sono sempre stato interessato alla vita di personaggi che hanno sintetizzato discipline diverse e sono entrati nei libri di storia. Leonardo Da Vinci e Maurits Cornelis Escher potrebbero essere i primi nomi che ammiro in questo contesto.Tuttavia, nonostante la mia età avanzata, un nome che ho sentito per la prima volta durante i miei studi in belle arti ha catturato la mia attenzione: Marcel Duchamp. Dopo le mie letture personali, focalizzandomi frequentemente sui contributi di questo personaggio versatile alla filosofia dell'arte, ho capito che la curiosità dell'artista per gli scacchi, menzionata superficialmente nelle stesse fonti, non è affatto una "curiosità" e che una carriera scacchistica molto notevole è stata in qualche modo trascurata. Ha ottenuto successi mondiali come attore. Come giocatore della stessa squadra del famoso campione del mondo Alekhine, l'ho visto rappresentare la squadra nazionale francese alle Olimpiadi, ottenendo pareggi e vittorie contro i migliori giocatori dell'epoca come Tartakower, Colle, Marshall. Quando si esaminava da vicino la comprensione del gioco, diventava chiaro che ciò che lo interessava, proprio come nella sua carriera artistica, non era solo vincere, ma fare la differenza. Quando ho realizzato che, oltre alla recitazione, ha assunto seri poteri e responsabilità nella federazione mondiale degli scacchi, ha scritto vari libri sugli scacchi e ha riflesso la sua ispirazione dagli scacchi su molte delle sue opere artistiche, ho sentito la necessità di affrontare questo argomento.Come insegnante di arte appena uscito dalla scuola, non vedo ancora abbastanza competenza in me stesso per scrivere direttamente un libro sulla pittura o sulle arti visive. Nonostante i miei anni di associazione agli scacchi come giocatore e successivamente come allenatore e interprete, e alcuni modesti successi, probabilmente non sarei in grado di scrivere un libro sugli scacchi alla presenza di professionisti esperti e migliaia di fonti sugli scacchi già esistenti. Ma ho pensato che fosse appropriato per me raccontare la storia di come queste due discipline si intersecano attraverso la vita di questa personalità colorata. Auguro al lettore tutto il meglio...

Conceived as an archive, the book brings together the experiences of Frequencies, a global participatory project initiated by multimedia artist Oscar Murillo in 2013. Part of the artist's multimedia practice, Frequencies addresses the notion of community through the lens of its making. For over a decade, it has involved members of Murillo's family, studio team and collaborators, visiting schools around the globe, fixing raw canvas onto classroom desks, and inviting the students to freely mark, write and draw on them for a period of approximately six months. Murillo has collected an archive of canvases, which he presented in various interactive exhibitions. OSCAR MURILLO (*1986, La Paila, Colombia) has developed a multi-faceted and ambitious practice that spans painting, collaborative projects, video, sound and installation. He received his MFA from the Royal College of Art in 2012 and was one of four artists to collectively win the prestigious Turner Prize in 2019.

"(...) La belleza del ajedrez se asemeja a la de la poesía. Las figuras del ajedrez son un alfabeto que da forma a los pensamientos, y estos pensamientos se expresan abstractamente a través del diseño visual que ocurre en el tablero de ajedrez, al igual que en la poesía... Después de años de cercanía con jugadores de ajedrez y artistas, puedo decir honestamente que no todos los jugadores de ajedrez son artistas, mientras que no todos los artistas son jugadores de ajedrez".(M. Duchamp)

Viscose is an ad-free journal for genre- defying fashion thinking. The fifth issue of Viscose explores fashion's multifaceted retail spaces and cultures. With the evolution of shopping in the long 20th century as its focus, the issue looks at the shop as a central nexus where communities are continuously produced and re-imagined through commerce, and always in response to larger societal changes.With a special attention to the role of fashion retail within urban spatial politics (particularly relating to gentrification and surveillance), the issue seeks out histories of projects-often developed with or by artists-that have embraced the shop as a medium of both possibility and contestation.

"Ancient Art and Ritual" is a book written by Jane Ellen Harrison, a distinguished classical scholar and linguist. The book was first published in 1913 and is considered one of Harrison's significant contributions to the field of classical studies. Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) was known for her work in the areas of classical archaeology, mythology, and anthropology.In "Ancient Art and Ritual," Harrison explores the relationship between ancient art and religious or ritualistic practices in various cultures. She draws connections between the symbolism found in ancient art and the rituals performed by different societies. The book delves into the idea that art and ritual are interconnected expressions of the human experience, with each influencing and reflecting the other.Harrison's approach is interdisciplinary, combining elements of archaeology, anthropology, and classical studies. She examines a wide range of ancient cultures, including those of Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the Near East, to uncover common themes and symbols in art and religious practices.One of the key themes in the book is the concept of "ritual survival," where Harrison explores how ancient rituals and symbolism persist in art even as societies undergo cultural and religious changes. She proposes that studying art can provide valuable insights into the spiritual and cultural beliefs of ancient civilizations.Overall, "Ancient Art and Ritual" is known for its innovative and thought-provoking analysis of the connections between art and religious practices in the ancient world. It has had a lasting impact on the study of classical art and mythology and remains a significant work in the field of classical scholarship.

This insightful work explains what art represents and how to judge a good piece of art. With discussion on art, philosophy, history, and psychology, Hippolyte Taine developed the notion of understanding art through the historical circumstances during its creation. In addition, Taine talks about literature and the qualities that make a text a gem. The book comprises an application of the experimental method to art, in the same way, it is done in science. The author precisely describes art by social influences and other causes. Humanity at different periods and locations, climate, and other conditions furnish the truths on which the theory rests. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding a piece of art, examining it by details and the whole picture. Hippolyte Adolphe Taine was a French philosopher, critic and historian. He was the chief theoretical influence of French naturalism, a major proponent of sociological positivism and one of the first practitioners of historicist criticism. Literary historicism as a critical movement has been said to originate with him. Taine is particularly remembered for his three-pronged approach to the contextual study of a work of art, based on the aspects of what he called "race, milieu, and moment".

In MAINTENANT 18, contemporary dada writers and artists from around the world redistribute a wealth of new ideas, to shape public opinion using the theme of PLUTOCRAZY. “Timely and relevant.” —Tribe LA Magazine.  “Proof that dada is not dead.” —MADJAN Magazine (Serbia)Creativity is the currency here and the amount has no limit. In nearly 250 pages of full color art and incisive writing, MAINTENANT 18 separates Merch and State by forging a non-monetary vision which exposes strategies to achieve socio-political and economic equality and serves against the military-industrialist complex linking warfare with capitalism, shining a light through every crack for “we the people.” Features the work of artist and writers from around the world, including cover art by Molly Crabapple.A fascinating collection of contemporary dada art and writing from around the world that proves dada continues to be a pertinent artistic response to the madness of modern society. As author Richard Loranger (Mammal) notes: “Three Rooms Press, which has been producing Maintenant since 2008, calls this a journal, but it’s more like a series of pageants, or more to the point, anti-pageants, glorious protest parades that fill the streets with punk and jazz and graffiti and wry ire, pausing before the grandstand only to burn flags, fling mirrors, and enact human realness. And what better time for it!”The Maintenant series, established in 2008, explores themes of politics, humanity, philosophy, and current concerns from an antiwar, anarchic (and often eye-opening) perspective. Past issues include work by artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Joel Hubaut, Heide Hatry, Avelino de Araujo, Pawel Kuczynski, Inas Al-Soqi, Giovanni Fontana, Nicole Eisenmann, Syporca Whandal, and Kazunori Murakami; past writers have included Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Andrei Codrescu, Harry E. Northup, Malik Crumpler, Maw Shein Win, and more, with a strong contingent of artist-writers from the world of punk rock, including Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Bibbe Hanson and more.

How do we recognise an artist's book when it becomes an expanded practice?Is the same method of sourcing, research and display of materials used in books and collections alike?Can the space where the book is made and exhibited be considered an artist's museum?These were Francisco Varela initial questions when he saw the Blackchapel bookwork atmsdm house-studio-gallery in London. The first section of the essay explores the "expanded" characteristics of the artist's book, probing whetherthis notion is extensible to the activity of space production practiced by paula roush at her house-studio-gallery, an activity which is unique to and inseparable from her live-work method. These artistic methodologies are clarifiedwithin an interdisciplinary framework that includes the concepts of "autoethnography," "space-time sequence"and "contemporaneity."The second section explores the notion of "dispositif," with the intention to reveal the multiple structuring elementsof a live-work practice here called "immersive."The third section analyses the "museographic" process inherent to the space, a practice associated to the house-studio-gallery.This live-work-curation method is identified in relation to various museological frameworks that are exercised in that space.

A comprehensive survey of the YBA conceptualistOver the past 30 years, the Scottish-born, Welsh-based artist Craig Wood (born 1960) has developed a distinct body of work, ranging from large-scale floor-based installations to site-specific performances and socially engaged actions. Craig Wood: Catalogue Raisonné is the first published retrospective and definitive study of his career. This large-format paperback book covers over 30 years of Wood's impressive oeuvre, starting in 1987 when he was studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths College of Art, London. The book is illustrated with over 500 images and features an essay by art critic and Reader of Fine Art at Goldsmiths Michael Archer, and an interview by British artist Fiona Banner (aka The Vanity Press).Graduating in 1989, Wood was part of the Young British Artists, and his early exhibitions included Damien Hirst's seminal Modern Medicine in 1990. He would later have commercial representation through galleries in London, Paris and Turin.Throughout his career, Wood's artistic output has been site-specific, examining the properties of "site" or "context" and how this drives creative processes. He has received numerous national awards and several prestigious international residencies, with artworks in major collections such as Tate, Saatchi Gallery, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the UK Arts Council.

Victor 2.0. is the second book in the Victor series. Here is the Prologue to give you a taste. 'Victor sits on his couch, staring at his two-hundred-inch mini-LED TV. He is surfing the web as he hears a knock at the door. Victor's butler Hiam, who has also been his forever friend since birth, answers the door. Standing there with twenty of her girlfriends is Kelsey. They are all dressed casually, holding champagne and ready to celebrate. Kelsey barges through the door with all her friends and gathers around Victor. She says, "Congratulations on your number one album! It's only been an hour, and it's already topped the charts worldwide."She then pops open a bottle of champagne.At that moment, Victor's lovely wife walks in from the other room. She is the most beautiful woman in the entire world. Everyone calls her Lady, a nickname Victor gave her a long time ago.Lady says, "Hi, Kelsey, how are you doing?"Kelsey replies, "We're here to celebrate."Lady says, "For sure, let's do it."Victor says, "Lady, will you please bring out that special bottle of Dom, the one with your name on it that we've been saving for this occasion?"Lady says, "Coming right up."Victor then grabs his custom Pyrex pipe, heats it up with his matching custom torch, and blows a huge cloud.' I hope you enjoyed this sample of the book. Victor loves his beautiful Lady. Now that he has found her, the world is going to be a better place.

Sam Falls gibt die Autorschaft für seine Arbeiten an die Phänomene der Natur ab. Indem er Trägermaterialien wie Leinwand, Aluminium oder Kacheln mit wasserreaktiven Trockenpigmenten und Pflanzenteilen versieht und über einen längeren Zeitraum den Einwirkungen von Sonne, Regen und Wind an einem bestimmten Ort überlässt, bezieht er bewusst den Zufallsmoment in sein Werk mit ein. Der spielerische und doch konzeptionell strenge Prozess ist eine Metapher für die Vergänglichkeit alles Körperlichen. Falls' symbiotische Arbeit mit der Natur und ihren Elementen macht Referenzen an die Technik des Fotogramms und an die Land Art deutlich. Damit verbindet er so verschiedene Medien wie Fotografie, Skulptur und Malerei und schließt die Kluft zwischen Künstler, Objekt und Betrachter.

Unter Verweisen auf Soziologie und Science-Fiction brachte Peter Halley in den 1980er-Jahren frischen Wind in die Malerei. Mit Neonfarben und Roll-A-Tex-Sandtextur dekonstruierte er transzendente geometrische Abstraktionen von Beginn und Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu abstrakten Zellen und Gefängnissen und verband sie augenzwinkernd durch Kanäle mit der Außenwelt.Durch die Verortung seiner Malerei in der Schnittmenge zwischen analoger und digitaler Welt greift Peter Halley viele Herausforderungen des Informationszeitalters und des französischen Poststrukturalismus auf. Hobbs' Monografie analysiert Halleys fast hermetisch verschlüsselte geometrische Kunst mit Blick auf die Möglichkeiten des Internets, die ästhetischen Optionen von Photoshop, die Aktualität der soziologischen Theorien von Michel Foucault und Jean Baudrillard sowie die ungelösten Rätsel gleichermaßen von Science Fiction und Physik.
