Place-As-Medium and New Grounds for Thinking in Contemporary Art
This book presents a broad scope of global contemporary art projects, establishing a new philosophical framework to understand and evaluate the new art practice known as “place‐s‐edium.” This new category of art practice creates artworks that deepen our belonging to place by asking us to think through them together. This book shows how place‐s‐edium art reshapes the ground of thinking by offering a new reading of the work of Alfredo Jaar through the theories of Jacques Ranciere, Gianni Vattimo, and Martin Heidegger. An in-depth analysis of Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev’s 2012 international art exhibition dOCUMENTA (13) focuses on the temporal and spatial dimensions of thinking through place. This book advocates for shared authorship exemplified in artworks by Theaster Gates and John Preus that use repair and renovation to rebuild communities, and provides a model for ecological thinking in a case study of The Swamp School by Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas. Additionally, this book includes a Coda for Place‐s‐edium as a practical guide for artists to think through place. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, and philosophy.
The Aestheticization of History and the Butterfly Effect
'The Aestheticization of History and the Butterfly Effect: Visual Arts Series' introduces the audience to philosophical concepts that broach the beginning of the history of Western thought in Plato and Aristotle to that of more modern thought in the theoretician Jacques Rancière in which the main conceptual framework of this anthology is predicated. The introduction is mainly concerned with Rancière’s concept of the distribution of the sensible, which is the arrangement of things accessible to our senses, what we experience in real-time and space— compartmentalization and categorization of all things. These things do not just involve tangible items, but audible speech, written language...
India’s Biennale Effect
India’s Kochi-Muziris Biennale has been described as one of the most significant newly emergent biennales, alongside Shanghai, Sharjah and Dakar. However, there have been few sustained and critical studies of these events as specific sites of production and reception of contemporary art. This book, engaging with the Kochi Biennale, provides detailed examination of what the editors term as the ‘biennale effect’ — a layered contestation of place, economics, art and politics. It presents a close reading of the unique context of the biennale as well as sets out a broader critical framework for understanding global contemporary art and its effects. Replete with illustrations, this book will serve as an important and rare resource for scholars and researchers of contemporary art, art history, visual cultures, and media studies.
Alien Nation
An exploration of the complex relationship between science fiction, race and contemporary art.
Imagination becomes reality: Expanded paint tools
"Imagination Becomes Reality Part 1," an exhibition cycle at the Goetz Collection, aims to re-examine and redefine contemporary "painting" without limiting media. The first volume brings together Jorg Sasse's impressionistic photographs, Thomas Scheibitz's two and three-dimensional work, Franz Ackermann's geographic abstractions and Tal R's intimate, naive expressionism.
