In particular, it aims to widen the audience for these debates.

From Italy, Antonio Negri, Maurrizio Lazzarato, Judith revel and Franco Berardi each address the immaterial situation of contemporary art in a distinctive way. From Germany, Peter Sloterdijk, Peter Weibel and Boris Groys reassess the contemporary legacy of post-war art, demonstrating distinctive appropriations of vitalism, structuralism and deconstruction, respectively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34575108800676,"sku":"BK-TAT-SOA-001-A","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_6713.jpg?v=1664983762"},{"product_id":"disappearance-of-darkness","title":"The Disappearance Of Darkness: Photography at the End of the Analog Era","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Burley \u0026amp; Doina Popescu\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover | \u003cspan\u003e22.2 x 1.9 x 27.9 cm | 176 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinceton Architectural Press | 2012 | 9781616890957\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhotographer Robert Burley has traveled the world documenting the abandonment and destruction of film-based photography, namely, the factories where film was produced and the labs that developed it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe atmospheric large-format photographs transport viewers to rarely seen sites where the alchemy of the photographic process was practiced over the last century-from the Polaroid plant in Waltham, Massachusetts to the Kodak-Pathe plant in Chalon-sur-Saone, France, the birthplace in 1827 of photography itself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs both fine art and documentary, \u003cem\u003eThe Disappearance of Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e is an elegiac reflection on the resilience of traditional art forms in the digital era and a vital commemoration of a century-old industry that seems to have disappeared overnight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34644070432932,"sku":"BK-PAP-DOD-001-S","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_1353_17158c30-8fbb-4c4f-8c29-a74ec6de4551.jpg?v=1775738200"},{"product_id":"good-deeds-good-design-community-service-through-architecture","title":"Good Deeds, Good Design: Community Service Through Architecture","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBryan Bell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover | \u003c\/span\u003e16 x 2.3 x 22.4 cm | 239 pp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinceton Architectural Press | 2003 | 9781568983912\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith rare exceptions, we tend to think of architects as working in the domain of the rich and the commercial.

It is not the object itself, but rather its economic functionality that determines where design stops and art begins and this functionality is reassessed at every link in the chain of the object's dissemination. In fact, it is often customs officials who subjectively decide what constitutes art and design based on their personal views and erratic local tax laws. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eTaxing Art\u003c\/em\u003e is an insightful case study by Beta Tank that illustrates the influence of tax laws on art and creativity. The Berlin-based studio created a series of blended work, which was partly handmade and partly machine-made, and sent it around the world. Naturally, this resulted in differing customs duties.

Instead, Bader sees Lichtenstein's work as motivated by the forces of “unoriginal originality” - Lichtenstein's discovery that he could make art by “borrowing” from other images - and “disembodied bodies” - his use of flattened and schematic forms to reinvigorate figurative painting. Bader argues that 1961's \u003cem\u003eLook Mickey\u003c\/em\u003e, Lichtenstein's inaugural pop work, established a template for the tension between embodiment and disembodiment that animates much of his 1960s practice: between an evacuation of sensory experience, on the one hand, and a repeated focus on emphatic bodily acts (squeezing, kissing, crying, etc.) on the other. A similar dialectical friction exists between Lichtenstein's process and product: consistently hand-painted canvases that increasingly feign the look of industrial production.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHall of Mirrors\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emoves chronologically, beginning with Lichtenstein's studies at Ohio State University and late-'50s moves toward pop, through his seminal canvases of the early 1960s, to his late-'60s experiments across sculpture, painting, installation, and film.

The book includes Donald Judd's reviews of Lichtenstein's three solo Pop shows in the early 1960s, an essay on the artist's 1969 Guggenheim retrospective, interviews that touch on topics ranging from the New York art world to Monet and Matisse, the transcript of a 1995 slide presentation in which Lichtenstein surveyed three decades of his work, and an in-depth study of Lichtenstein's first Pop painting, Look Mickey (1961). The texts explore Lichtenstein's career across the boundaries of medium and period, excavating early critical discussions and surveying more recent reexaminations of his artistic practice. The collection will be an indispensable resource for those interested in Lichtenstein, Pop Art, and American culture of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGraham Bader, Yve-Alain Bois, John Coplans, David Deitcher, Hal Foster, John Jones, Donald Judd, Max Kozloff, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Roy Lichtenstein, Michael Lobel\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43336448606466,"sku":"BK-MIT-OFRL-001-E","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_9793_2e182878-6c10-4663-8ead-e74bec9b23c6.jpg?v=1674566755"},{"product_id":"sturtevant-warhol-marilyn","title":"Sturtevant: Warhol Marilyn (One Work)","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatricia Lee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e14.94 x 0.89 x 21.11 cm | 104 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfterall | 2016 | 9781846381638\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eOne Work\u003c\/em\u003e series is a library of small books, each title focusing on a single artwork that has significantly shaped the way we understand art and its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn illustrated examination of a work - a Warhol that isn't by Warhol - that embodies a shift in attitudes about artistic authorship and originality. \u003cem\u003eWarhol Marilyn\u003c\/em\u003e (1965) is not a work by Andy Warhol but by the artist Elaine Sturtevant (1930-2014).

For \u003cem\u003eWarhol Marilyn\u003c\/em\u003e, Sturtevant used one of Warhol's own silkscreens from his series of Marilyn printed multiples.

Lee describes the cognitive dissonance a viewer might feel on learning the identity of Warhol Marilyn's author, and explains that mistaken identity is part of Sturtevant's intention for the operation of the work. She discusses the ways that Sturtevant's methodology went against the grain of a certain interpretation of modernism, and addresses the cultural significance of both Warhol and Monroe as celebrity figures. She considers Dorothy Podber's shooting a bullet through a stack of Warhol's Marilyns (thereafter known as The Shot Marilyns) at the Factory in 1964 and its possible influence on Sturtevant's decision to remake the work. Lee writes that Sturtevant's critical reception has been informed by some fictional forebears: the made-up artist Hank Herron (whose nonexistent work duplicating paintings by Frank Stella was reviewed by a fictional critic), and (suggested by Sturtevant herself) Pierre Menard, the title character of Jorge Luis Borges's \u003cem\u003ePierre Menard, Author of the Quixote\u003c\/em\u003e, who recreates a section of Cervantes's masterpiece line by line.

For half a century, he has explored with unwavering determination the possibilities of the stripe, band, and block as abstract forms. With seemingly limitless invention, he has reconciled the aesthetic of pure minimalism with a more human and expressive approach in a quest to make meaning and content the central preoccupation of painting. In his words, he makes ‘abstract painting metaphorical, physical, sensual, emotional, and, above all, relational’. In the process, he has revealed how something so simple – a mark on a surface – can communicate so much feeling and lived experience. As Scully himself has remarked, the stripe is particularly receptive to interpretation, and from the very beginning his work has received the attention of commentators who have been drawn by its seductive sensuality and constant inventiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book collates the writings of some fifty international critics, curators, philosophers, and historians who have sought, from their own vantage points, to chart the unique and single-minded course that Scully followed in the first three decades of his career. Reflecting the astonishing variety of his compositions, each one identifies novel and different aspects in the work and discovers something new and fresh to say as it develops in unexpected and intriguing ways. Lavishly illustrated with all of Scully’s major paintings from the late 1960s to 1999, and with dozens of installation views, behind-the-scenes studio shots, and portraits of the artist, many published here for the first time, this collection provides a concise and accessible account of the work of a painter who more than any other has demonstrated the poetic qualities of abstraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Art\/Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43422872895746,"sku":"BK-AB-BTL-001-D","price":17.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_8393.jpg?v=1669208782"},{"product_id":"john-cage-october-files-12","title":"John Cage (October Files #12)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEdited by Julia Robinson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoftcover | 15.4 x 1.27 x 23 cm | 219 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMIT Press | 2011 | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780262516303\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Cage (1912-1992) defined a radical practice of composition that changed the course of modern music and shaped a new conceptual horizon for postwar art.

Clearly written, this book is ideal for the undergraduate student or anyone interested in the world of ideas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Laurence King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43570013274370,"sku":"BK-LK-MTAH-001-A","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_9630_1.jpg?v=1712323253"},{"product_id":"alighiero-e-boetti-mappa-one-work","title":"Alighiero e Boetti: Mappa (One Work)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15.09 x 1.02 x 21.11 cm | 112 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfterall | 2008 | 9781846380273\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eOne Work\u003c\/em\u003e series is a library of small books, each title focusing on a single artwork that has significantly shaped the way we understand art and its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1971 Alighiero e Boetti commissioned Afghan embroiderers to create a map of the world, with each country bearing the colours and pattern of its flag.

When a designed product's usefulness is past, the public happily discards it to make room for the next new thing. Criticism rarely deals with how a product might be used, or not used, over time; it is more likely to play the enabler, encouraging our addiction to consumption.

From the mid-1950s through the 1960s, for example, critics including Reyner Banham, Deborah Allen, and Richard Hamilton wrote about the ways people actually used design, and invented a new kind of criticism. At the 1970 International Design Conference in Aspen, environmental activists protested the design establishment's lack of political engagement. In the 1980s, left-leaning cultural critics introduced ideology to British design criticism. In the 1990s, dueling London exhibits offered alternative views of contemporary design. And in the early 2000s, professional critics were challenged by energetic design bloggers. Through the years, Twemlow shows, critics either sifted the trash and assigned value or attempted to detect, diagnose, and treat the sickness of a consumer society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43600736387330,"sku":"BK-MIT-STT-001-G","price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_2909_8cb83ad0-2251-4116-a03e-64900443a95e.jpg?v=1680617479"},{"product_id":"walker-evans-kitchen-corner-one-work","title":"Walker Evans: Kitchen Corner (One Work)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOliver Richon \u0026amp; Mark Lewis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14.91 x 1.04 x 21.11 cm | 88 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfterall | 2019 | 9781846381980\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eOne Work\u003c\/em\u003e series is a library of small books, each title focusing on a single artwork that has significantly shaped the way we understand art and its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn examination of one of Walker Evans's iconic photographs of the Great Depression. \u003cem\u003eKitchen Corner, Tenant Farmhouse, Hale County, Alabama\u003c\/em\u003e shows a painstakingly clean-swept corner in the house of an Alabama sharecropper.

Pretense design pretends to be something that it is not.

Beautification, he explains, includes sunless tanning, high heels, and even sporty accessories for a family car. Amusement includes forms of irrational otherness-columns that don't hold anything up, an old building's facade that hides a new building, a new Chinese town that mimics an old European town. Substitution pretends to be a natural thing: plastic laminate is a substitute for wood, Corian a substitute for marble, and prosthetics substitute for human organs. Deception doesn't just bend the truth; it suspends it. Soldiers wear camouflage to hide; hunters use decoys to attract their prey; malware hides in a harmless program only to wreak havoc on a user's computer.

The photographs explore how the sublime can, and has been, commodified, packaged, and distributed, leading to an alarming emotional distancing. With images from a diverse group of photographers, Carroll explores the impermanence of borders, the human reaction to scenes of devastation on Instagram feeds, and the many variables that inform one’s relationship to land. He considers how a photographer’s response to landscape is subjective, full of meaning that’s coloured by their own psyches, foibles, fears, and hopes. With captivating and striking photography, Carroll invites the reader to contemplate how their inner world influences their interactions with the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/collections\/photographs-that-make-you-think\"\u003eView more in the Photographs That Make You Think series\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abrams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43671678189826,"sku":"BK-ABR-PMTL-001-R","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_7622_bc762ae1-668e-4ffd-aba8-b18b38defb3f.jpg?v=1691158852"},{"product_id":"event-cities-4-concept-form","title":"Bernard Tschumi: Event-Cities 4 | Concept - Form (Rare edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBernard Tschumi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16.84 x 4.95 x 23.01 cm | 640 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMIT Press | 2010 | 9780262512411\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eEvent-Cities 4\u003c\/em\u003e Tschumi introduces the \"concept-form\": a concept generating a form, or a form generating a concept.  The book documents recently built and theoretical projects in the context of his evolving views on architecture, urbanism, and design. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis volume takes the interaction a step further, looking at a series of projects for which program or context are insufficient as a generative conceptual strategy, hence requiring a different approach. Tschumi has said, \"Over the past years, there is one word I have almost never used, except in order to attack it: 'form.'\" Here Tschumi introduces the \"concept-form\": a concept generating a form, or a form generating a concept, so that one reinforces the other. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe concept may be programmatic, technological, or social.
