Abstract

"With Making Africa – A Continent of Contemporary Design, the Vitra Design Museum sheds new light on contemporary African design. Showcasing the work of over 120 artists and designers, the exhibition illustrates how design accompanies and fuels economic and political change on the continent. Africa is presented as a hub of experimentation generating new approaches and solutions of worldwide relevance – and as a driving force for a new discussion of the potential of design in the twenty-first century."--Publisher description.

Abstract

"From Edward James's surreal sculpture garden Las Pozas in Mexico to Anselm Kiefer's sprawling studio complex in the French countryside, artists and art collectors are creating outdoor spaces in order to display sculpture and art that is both transformative and powerful. This book is filled with breathtaking photographs of 25 of these spaces from throughout the world--many of which are not open to the public. Captured in brilliant colour, these spaces are populated by works that both enhance and are enhanced by the landscape: rolling hills, mountain lakes, shaded canyons and empty deserts. Readers will discover Anish Kapoor's startling red steel tube draped across the rolling hills of New Zealand and an enormous pumpkin created by Yayoi Kusama, which sits on a pier overlooking Japan's Seto Inland Sea. Each park's concept is based on a unique theme or idea and some of these spaces invite contemplation both spiritual and scientific, while others blend horticultural elements with manmade objects. As large-scale works grow in popularity, these collections--built and designed by entrepreneurs, landscape architects, environmentalists, artists and garden experts--demonstrate the endless possibilities of displaying art in nature's realm."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

For forty years, Andy Goldsworthy has worked with an extraordinary range of natural materials, often at their source. On an almost daily basis, he makes works of art using the materials and conditions that he encounters wherever he is, be it the land around his Scottish home, the mountain regions of France or Spain, or the pavements of New York City, Glasgow, or Rio de Janeiro. Out of earth, rocks, leaves, ice, snow, rain, sunlight and shadow he makes artworks that exist briefly before they are altered and erased by natural processes. They are documented in his photographs, and their larger meanings are bound up with the conditions, forces and processes that they embody: materiality, temporality, growth, vitality, permanence, decay, chance, labour and memory. Ephemeral Works features approximately two hundred of these works, selected by Goldsworthy from thousands he has made between 2001 and the present, and arranged in chronological sequence, capturing his creative process as it interacts with material, place, and the passage of time and seasons.

Abstract

Théâtre Source is een monumentaal beeldhouwwerk, gecreëerd door Philip Aguirre y Otegui rond een natuurlijke bron in een krottenwijk van Douala, de grootste stad van Kameroen. Théâtre Source is in de eerste plaats een architecturaal kunstwerk, maar dan wel een dat vervuld is van functionaliteit. De plek is uitgegroeid tot het sociale en symbolische centrum van de wijk: het is de ontmoetingsplaats van de wijkbewoners, daar waar ze komen drinken en wassen, maar ook aan theater doen. Dit boek vertelt het verhaal en de ontstaansgeschiedenis van dit bijzondere werk en gaat dieper in op uiteenlopende thema's als kunst in de publieke ruimte, de waterproblematiek in de Afrikaanse grootsteden en hedendaagse kunst in de Afrikaanse samenleving.
