Abstract

Decoding Dictatorial Statues is a collection of images and texts revolving around the different statues behave in public space. How can we decode statues the agency of their sculptured body language and their sociopolitical role as relational objects and media icons?Coupling a designer's perspective with an analytical approach, Ted Hyunhak Yoon explores the cliched poses of dictatorial statues. In his image analysis, he lays out a choreography of these sculptures and uncovers the non-verbal rhetorics that shaped them. In the visual framing opened up by Hyunhak Yoon's image research, readers can zoom in and out of the various narratives on offer.In addition to these visual narratives, the authors - acting as a group of decoders - contribute a wide range of perspectives on the subject. It's statues from different eras, located in different parts of the world, that form, the starting point for these precise dissections. For instance, what links an outbreak of cultural vandalism against a 200 year old Vietnamese devotional subject with the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in 2011? Why would a recently liberated African country opt for a North Korean compagny to tell its history? How can we define historical value in regards to the removal of colonial monuments in South-Africa, The Netherlands and the United States?Responding to current debates on the representation of the historical canon, these expert's perspectives and Ted Hyunhak Yoon's vbisual framework address urgent concerns about the depiction and representation of heritage and our future leaders. By asking us to consider the visual language of the statues itself, this project offers a living understanding of a supposedley long-gone symbolic order and a pathway to a more cross-cultural and historic comprehension.

Abstract

De klassieke oudheid was kleurrijker dan we denken. De oude Grieken en Romeinen versierden hun gebouwen en standbeelden met veel kleuren en ornamenten. Het wijdverspreide idee dat antieke beelden allemaal wit of onbeschilderd waren, komt dan ook helemaal niet overeen met de realiteit. Maar waarom denken we eigenlijk dat marmeren beelden in de oudheid wit waren? Welke tradities en gewoontes hadden de Grieken en Romeinen in hun kleurgebruik? Hoe werden die beelden precies gemaakt? En hoe kunnen we ze vandaag reconstrueren? De oudheid in kleur brengt de beschildering van antieke beelden tot leven: aan de hand van onderzoek met ultramoderne technieken en met aandacht voor de antieke schildertechnieken en verfstoffen, komen de originele beelden oog in oog te staan met hun reconstructies. Zo kunnen we vandaag, scherper en in helderdere kleuren dan ooit, achterhalen hoe antieke standbeelden er echt uitzagen.

Abstract

The work of German sculptor Isa Genzken is brilliantly receptive to the ever-shifting conditions of modern life. In this first book devoted to the artist, Lisa Lee reflects on Genzken's tendency to think across media, attending to sculptures, photographs, drawings, and films from the entire span of her four-decade career, from student projects in the mid-1970s to recent works seen in Genzken's studio. Through penetrating analyses of individual works as well as archival and interview material from the artist herself, Lee establishes four major themes in Genzken's oeuvre: embodied perception, architecture and built space, the commodity, and the body. Contextualizing the sculptor's engagement with fellow artists, such as Joseph Beuys and Bruce Nauman, Lee situates Genzken within a critical and historical framework that begins in politically fraught 1960s West Germany and extends to the globalized present. Here we see how Genzken tests the relevance of the utopian aspirations and formal innovations of the early twentieth century by submitting them to homage and travesty. Sure to set the standard for future studies of Genzken's work, Isa Genzken is essential for anyone interested in contemporary art.
