Bøger om Painting

Norsk magiAllerede på omslaget af Elin Engelsens kunstbog, bliver læseren trukket ind i det drømmende vægtløse univers, som kendetegner den norsk/danske kunstner. Bogen er en hyldest til feminin kunst, og som læser og beskuer, flyder man med ind i de sjælfulde værker, akkompagneret af Elins tanker og følelser bag arbejdet og hendes tætte forbundethed med naturen.Med denne bog, slår Elin Engelsen for alvor sin kunstneriske position fast, og hun markerer sig som en af vor tids stærke kvindelige samtidskunstnere. Hendes værker opfattes som poetiske og nærmest åndelige, og beskrives ofte af anmeldere som magisk realisme. Hun maler tiden, før vi blev bortført af flimrende skærme. Tiden da verden endnu var fuld af forundring, muligheder og uovervåget, indre liv. I centrum af det hele er den altoverskyggende fascination af naturen – mørket og lyset.”I min opvækst i Bergen, og min voksenliv i Danmark, har jeg altid boet ved vandet. Mine lykkelige minder og stunder, er forbundet med vand, og det er stadig her, at jeg føler mig allermest forbundet og forenet med det universelle”.Derfor er det særligt havet og de dybe fjorde der indgår som det ukendte element i Elins arbejde; det ikke-kortlagte, hvor mennesker ikke færdes med hverdagens ligegyldighed. Det ene øjeblik fredfyldt, inspirerende og legende og det næste grusomt, kraftfuldt og ødelæggende. Op gennem hele menneskehedens historie har havets ro og storhed draget; uendeligheden beroliger og helbreder, og det er præcis de følelser som Elin Engelsens værker favner og formidler.En smuk og sanselig coffee table book på 120 sider, indeholdende 43 udvalgte værkfotos.

The essays collected in Contemporary Painting in Context examine the transformation and expansion of the field of painting over the last decades in relation to the more general lines of development in contemporary culture and visuality. The contributors pose questions, such as: How do paintings present themselves to us today? How are they 'framed' experientially, institutionally, and culturally? In which way can paintings of today be said to reflect, and reflect upon, the historical transformations of culture, visuality, image production, and consumption? Is it possible to explain some of the changes and extensions of the field of painting by placing it in the wider context of cultural history or visual culture studies? The book is divided into five parts, with each pursuing a distinct line of inquiry: how to situate painting in a wider cultural context * how to rethink the question of the ontology of painting * how to define 'painting' today by taking into consideration that the disci

- Since the cave mornings of Cro-Magnon man has painted and decorated with colour solutions- In the Digital Age it will be natural - even compelling - to question the traditional painting, its status and legitimacy. - Has the traditional physical painting become a mere thing of the past, an antique, a relic or an artifact from the archives of art history?- In millenniums art has rebelled; shaking of every reductive determination, spoken appraisal and valuation - disobedient and rebellious - striding for freedom; thus it has achieved our highest esteem. - Today art turns to its absolute emancipation: it releases itself from materialism and catapulted out into virtual reality the picture will at the same time become ubiquitous and non-existent: in the Digital Age the picture does not even have to exist!... Perishability, is it bygone? - Thus, Yesterday is passé; the 21th century poses: a new world has sought us out and it doesn’t backtrack, it boasts itself in an unknown brash semiotic: gigabytes, GUI and GIF, can you Google it? IT is today to be; or bail out.- The magic words of our time are clipart, download, edutainment, freeware, hotspot, hyperlink, net-etiquette, screendump, webhotel … and remember WYSIWYG isn’t always trustworthy. The world anno post-MM is a hip hypertext: to be or not to be down loaded… that is the question. - In the Digital Era everything is digitised and infused by virtuality - everything is constituted by; everything is this diffusion. Therefore, in the Digital Era it is expected that digitisation and virtualization will penetrate art, and vice versa that art will digitise itself.- >>The Work of Art in the Digital Age
