Abstract

This book answers one of the most puzzling questions in contemporary art: how did performance artists of the '60s and '70s, famous for their opposition both to lasting art and the political establishment, become the foremost monument builders of the '80s, '90s and today? Not by selling out, nor by making self-undermining monuments. This book argues that the centrality of performance to monuments and indeed public art in general rests not on its ephemerality or anti-authoritarian rhetoric, but on its power to build interpersonal bonds both personal and social. Specifically, the survival of body art in photographs that cross time and space to meet new audiences makes it literally into a monument. The argument of the book spans art in Austria, the former Yugoslavia, and Germany: Valie Export, Peter Weibel and the Viennese Actionists (working in Austria and abroad), Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivecovic and Braco Dimitrijevic (working in Yugoslavia and abroad), and Joseph Beuys and Jochen Gerz (working in Germany and abroad). These artists began by critiquing monumentality in authoritarian public space, and expanded the models developed on the streets of Vienna, Munich, Rome, Belgrade and Zagreb to participatory monuments that delegate political authority to the audience. Readers interested in contemporary art, politics, photography and performance will find in this book new facts and arguments for their interconnection.

Abstract

"Getting Up" is the term used by graffiti "artists" to describe their success in making their mark on the New York subway system. In this book, Craig Castleman does not judge the artistic merit or social significance of graffiti. His aim is to trace the growth of this social hap- pening and to give an inside report on the lives and activities of the thousands of New York teenagers who, singly and in groups, spend night after night sneaking into trainyards and tunnels to do their writing and painting, often with stolen materials. Armed with his tape recorder, Castleman gained the confidence of hundreds of these teenagers as he interviewed them in subway stations, police precinct houses, street corners, pizza shops and other hangouts, and in their own homes. The (street talk not deleted) remarks of BAMA, WICKED GARY, LEE, CARMEN, and the others are the heart of the book, along with the nearly fifty photographs, some in color, that illus- trate their styles. Getting Up also presents the other side, the views of transit po- lice (a colorful lot themselves) and public officials drawn from inter- views, reports, documents, and ar- ticles. As in all "art movements," a few creative innovators are sur- rounded by a lot of uninspired imitators (like the "toys"-beginners armed with Magic Markers), but to the city and transit authority, all graffiti is nothing but vandalism and pollution, and they have spent more than one hundred million dol- lars in an unceasing and unsuccessful effort to eradicate all traces of it.

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.
