Abstract

Kisspeptin has been shown to be both necessary and sufficient for activation of the reproductive axis, during puberty and later in adulthood.  This makes kisspeptin a fundamental component of the reproductive axis. Kisspeptin has been deemed the single most potent stimulator of GnRH neurons yet known.  The importance of kisspeptin has been documented in humans as well as non-human animal models, ranging from monkeys, sheep, and rodents to numerous fish species, thus signifying a highly conserved nature of its reproductive function.  Importantly, kisspeptin neurons seem to mediate many of the regulatory effects of other signals, whether they are metabolic, circadian, hormonal, or stress. This places kisspeptin neurons in a unique position to be key nodal points and conduits for conveying numerous endogenous and exogenous signals to the reproductive axis.

Abstract

In 1959 Daniel Spoerri pioneered the first programmatic series of multiples―three-dimensional objects issued in edition―to be broadly distributed. With a radical emphasis on multiplication and movement, Edition MAT (Multiplication d’art transformable) presented an international selection of work by key figures in postwar kinetic and Op art. Multiplied is the first in-depth English-language study of this seminal project in the history of postwar art. The catalog presents the entirety of the three collections—1959, 1964, and 1965—consisting of 48 artworks by 35 European and US artists associated with kinetic and Op art, including such leading figures as Marcel Duchamp, Dieter Roth, and Jean Tinguely, alongside lesser known artists. With four essays, artist entries, and an appendix of newly translated historical texts, this volume sheds light on under-studied artworks as well as the body of critical thought connecting art, commerce, and display in the postwar period. Artists: Yaacov Agam, Josef Albers, Arman, Jean Arp, Enrico Baj, Davide Boriani, George Brecht, Pol Bury, Christo, Gabriele De Vecchi, Marcel Duchamp, Bo Ek, Robert Filliou, Karl Gerstner, Maurice Henry, Julio Le Parc, Roy Lichtenstein, Heinz Mack, Frank J. Malina, Enzo Mari, Christian Megert, François Morellet, Bruno Munari, Arnulf Rainer, Man Ray, Dieter Roth, Jesús Rafael Soto, Daniel Spoerri, Paul Talman, André Thomkins, Jean Tinguely, Victor Vasarely, Jacques Villeglé, Emmett Williams

Abstract

Frederick Kiesler was a committed networker and communicated regularly with the who's who of the avant-garde. He was an important intermediary between the visionary ideas of the European Moderne movement and the up-and-coming New York art scene. About 20 contributions portray his colorful life and his multifaceted oeuvre in various contexts, and place Kiesler in a dialog with the most important artists and architects of his time. The publication on the occasion of the 20 year anniversary of the Friedrich Kiesler Foundation deals with his relationship with the Bauhaus, surrealism, and the New York School, as well as with personalities such as Richard Buckminster Fuller, Marcel Duchamp, Arshile Gorky, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, Hans Arp, Sigfried Giedion, and others. Friedrich Kiesler war ein engagierter Netzwerker und stand mit dem Who's who der Avantgarde in regem Austausch. Er war ein wichtiger Vermittler zwischen den visionären Ideen der europäischen Moderne und der aufstrebenden New Yorker Kunstszene. Rund 20 Beiträge verorten sein schillerndes Leben und sein facettenreiches Werk in verschiedenen Kontexten und setzen Kiesler in einen Dialog mit den bedeutendsten Künstlern und Architekten seiner Zeit. Die Publikation anlässlich des 20-jährigen Bestehens der Friedrich Kiesler Stiftung behandelt sein Verhältnis zu Bauhaus, Surrealismus und New York School sowie zu Persönlichkeiten wie Richard Buckminster Fuller, Marcel Duchamp, Arshile Gorky, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, Hans Arp, Sigfried Giedion u.a.
