Abstract

Compelling and jargon-free, The Elements of Sculpture discovers and isolates the attributes - from the most physical to the most ephemeral - that make up an essential three-dimensional visual language; the very elements that form the tools sculptors use to create their art: Material, Place, Surface, Edge, Texture, Colour, Scale, Mass, Centre of Gravity, Volume, Space, Movement, Light and Memory. By teaching us how to look at and experience sculpture in the same way that sculptors think about sculpture, Herbert George provides us with the tools for understanding and appreciating the three-dimensional object, and demonstrates how we can begin to communicate using the language of sculpture.

Abstract

Is art criticism losing ground, because of the Internet and art blogs? Do people still consider the authoritative art critic (in newspapers, magazines) as their most important source to filter what they want to see, read and listen to? Most recent discussions revolve around the question ‘what is art criticism?’; this book explores the question: ‘Where is art criticism?’ It looks at new ways and new spaces where art critics may interact with the public, works of art, artists and scholars. This book suggests that criticism has shifted to different places and different stages: a ‘displacement’, not only with regard to media (from journalism to blogs, catalogues, and such) but also a displacement in the geographical and institutional sense.

Abstract

Conduit en sept chapitres incisifs, ce parcours de la sculpture moderne commence avec Rodin, qui détruit tout à la fois l'unité de l'espace narratif (avec la Porte de l'Enfer) et le postulat analytique (avec le Balzac). Il se poursuit par un examen du cubisme et de son héritage constructiviste, puis, après un intemède sur Brancusi et Duchamp, par l'une des seules analyses à ce jour de l'apport du surréalisme dans le domaine de la sculpture. Les trois derniers chapitres concernent la période allant de l'après-guerre au début des années soixante-dix. De David Smith à Anthony Caro, des happenings aux volumes minimalistes, des empilements de Richard Serra à la Spiral Jetty de Robert Smithson s'affine peu à peu une esthétique du décentrement propre à notre modernité.

Abstract

L'art a, de manière très spectaculaire, dépeint et décrit depuis deux siècles et demi les forces qui dépassent (et déclassent) l'être humain. Non plus les forces invisibles du divin mais les soulèvements de la nature, l'immensité du temps et de l'espace, les conséquences incontrôlables des avancées scientifiques sur le vivant.Oui, de nombreux artistes - et parmi les plus géniaux, de Turner à Pierre Huyghe et de Claude Monet à Stanley Kubrick - ont montré comment l'homme a senti lui échapper son sentiment de centralité dans le cosmos ; ils ont représenté cette crise essentielle en relativisant sa présence d'une part et en exprimant, d'autre part, les mystères enchantés ou les menaces cauchemardesque de l'univers dans lequel il se meut.Aussi ce livre, qui privilégie la peinture mais fraie aussi du côté de la sculpture ou du cinéma, donne-t-il à voir et comprendre des paysages édéniques et vierges, des beautés végétales et animales, la furie mortifère des éléments, le fantasme d'une civilisation complètement mécanisée, le saut dans l'abstraction, l'âme des choses ou encore l'anticipation de l'Apocalypse...En suivant un parcours chronologique de 1755 à nos jours, il raconte, de manière très accessibles les grands événements historiques (le séisme de Lisbonne, la bombe atomique, etc.), scientifiques (les découvertes de Darwin, la conquête spatiale), personnels (les drames de l'enfance de Friedrich, la crise mystique de De Chirico) qui ont conduit des artistes à montrer ce qu'est, selon la magnifique expression de Baudelaire, « l'univers sans l'homme ».

Abstract

Some artworks do something to you. They leave you feeling bereft, give you new insights, offer a new way of seeing things, make you happy, hopeful or despairing. This was true in the past, and it remains true today. It is this universal experience that art brings about that is the subject of the exhibition 'Encounters/Ontmoetingen'. KMSKA-curator Paul Vandenbroeck has selected a hundred works from all over the world, from early antiquity to the present day, by well-known and lesser-known artists, from paintings and sculptures to video, installations and textiles. 'Encounters/Ontmoetingen' is not a conventional exhibition. You need no prior knowledge before you walk in. On the contrary, the most important thing is to enter the MAS without preconceptions, and let the art speak for itself. The works are not exhibited according to traditional categories, but grouped into intuitive clusters: sometimes on the basis of aesthetic conventions, sometimes on the basis of a tension between works of diverse origins. The exhibition starts from the notion that art, separately from any idea, thought or belief, has the capacity to touch you, even if you have no idea who the artist is and where the work comes from. To keep the experience pure, there is no text or explanation accompanying the exhibits. All you get as a spectator is the names of the works and the artists. Exhibition: MAS Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp, Belgium (19.05.-20.08.2017).

Abstract

Mix & Stir', this book's aim is an endeavour to understand art as being a panhuman phenomenon of all times and cultures; to steer away from the persistent Eurocentric/Western-centric viewpoint towards a transcultural and transnational interconnected model of exchange and processes of interculturalization. Mix & Stir wants to expand this landscape by bringing to the fore new, recalcitrant, queer, idiosyncratic practices and discourses, theories and topics, methods and concerns that open up ways to approach art from a global perspective. Analogous to a cookery book filled with recipes and instruction, Mix & Stir explores new outlooks on contemporary art from global perspectives. It intends to encourage studying art beyond national constraints, cultural dominances, and hierarchies: a voyage similar to that of culinary discovery. The book brings a variety of tastes and flavours to the table, and breaks new ground by allowing innovative, contrary, queer, idiosyncratic practices and discourses, theories and topics, methods, and concerns to access art in its global dimensions. Researchers, curators and artists with a special interest in this topical issue were invited to present, develop, outline, and contemplate compelling frames of reference, both theoretical and artistic, in order to arrive at a true 'world art studies'. Their contributions are structured in seven thematic fields: Undecidability and Spectatorship, Collectives, Circulations, Exhibitions, Artists at Work, Postcolonial Perspectives, and Deep Art History. The reader is invited to explore the vast supply of dishes, to taste and test the aromas and to feast. - Editors: Helen Westgeest & Kitty Zijlmans - Contributions: Thomas J.
