Flavio Garciandia: I Insulted Flavio Garciandia in Havana

Lampert Catherine, 2009

Cuban art was transformed at the end of the 1970s when it evolved from a propaganda tool to a critical and analytical independent means of expression. In the avant garde of this renaissance was Flavio Garciandia. This volume is a much-needed retrospective of the iconic artist's prolific career. Подробнее

Thomas Struth: Making Time

Diego Estrella, 2009

Thomas Struth's most recent project, «Making Time», was exhibited at the Prado, Madrid, in the winter and spring of 2007, and is now compiled in this handsome catalogue from Turner. Making Time continues Struth's established work on the subject of public art venues, and consists of photographs depicting the Prado's famous collection and its visitors, photographs that were displayed throughout the Prado during his exhibit, as part of the museum's current ambition to open up fresh perspectives on its holdings. Over the course of two years, Struth made more than 400 images in and around the Prado, showing an «inhabited» public space, and highlighting the interactions between the exhibited paintings and their viewers. This volume also marks the first presentation of Struth's earlier work, from the spring of 2005, on Velazquez's great «Las Meninas» (1656), itself a classic study of spectatorship. The result is a multilayered dialogue between Struth, the Prado, its collection and its visitors. Подробнее

A Space for an Island Universe

Cooke Lynne, 2009

In his works, the American artist Josiah McElheny questions the legacy of modernity from the standpoint of his practice as a master of glass, starting from the confluence of design, science and art. McElheny studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design, and increased his knowledge of traditional glass manufacturing techniques by studying with such masters as Ronald Wilkin. This book presents Island Universe, an installation composed of five chromed aluminium and blown glass sculptures. The structures form spheres that depict the grouping of galaxies in the universe and lights symbolizing quasars (the most brilliant objects known to man). The starting point of this work are the chandeliers inside the New York Metropolitan Opera House, designed by Lobmeyr in 1965, the same year in which the first data in support of the Big Bang theory were made public. The work functions as a model of that theory of the origin of the universe. Подробнее
