Hot, Flat, and Crowded
Thomas L. Friedman's phenomenal number-one bestseller The World is Flat has helped millions of readers see the world in a new way. In this essential new book, Friedman takes a fresh and provocative look at two of the biggest challenges we face today: the global environmental crisis and America's surprising loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11. It is a groundbreaking account of where we stand now, and he shows us how the solutions to these two big problems are linked - how we can restore the world and revive America at the same time. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have ...
Collecting the Now
Collecting the Now offers a new, in-depth look at the economic forces and institutional actors that have shaped the outlines of postwar art history, with a particular focus on American art, 1960–1990. Working through four case studies, Michael Maizels illuminates how a set of dealers and patrons conditioned the iconic developments of this period: the profusions of pop art, the quixotic impossibility of land art, the dissemination of new media, and the speculation-fueled neo-expressionist painting of the 1980s. This book addresses a question of pivotal importance to a swath of art history that has already received substantial scholarly investigation. We now have a clear, nuanced understandi...

András Szántó. The Future of the Art World. 38 Dialogues
The third in a series of books investigating the future of the museum, following on The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues (2020) and Imagining the Future Museum: 21 Dialogues With Architects (2022). Rounding out the previous volumes, which examined the "software" and the "hardware" of the museum, the 38 dialogues in the third installment of the trilogy survey the social, cultural, economic, institutional, and technological conditions of the wider ecology in which museums operate. The conversations include leading figures from around the world, engaging voices not heard in the prior volumes: artists, curators, collectors, members of the art trade, sociologists, entrepreneurs, and others. Tog...
After Uniqueness
Images have never been as freely circulated as they are today. They have also never been so tightly controlled. As with the birth of photography, digital reproduction has created new possibilities for the duplication and consumption of images, offering greater dissemination and access. But digital reproduction has also stoked new anxieties concerning authenticity and ownership. From this contemporary vantage point, After Uniqueness traces the ambivalence of reproducibility through the intersecting histories of experimental cinema and the moving image in art, examining how artists, filmmakers, and theorists have found in the copy a utopian promise or a dangerous inauthenticity—or both at on...
FOCUS 焦點藝術9.10月號/2015 第10期
生命的選擇 有沒有想過，生活的每一天都充滿了選擇。選擇穿什麼樣的衣服出門，選擇吃什麼樣的食物，選擇喝什麼樣的飲品，選擇跟什麼人吃飯。生命的每一段過程，同樣也充滿了選擇。選擇什麼樣的學校，選擇什麼樣的對象，選擇什麼樣的工作，然後又進入到選擇什麼樣的生活。 因此，看看自己目前的生活狀態，便可以知道自己過去選擇的是什麼樣的道路。藝術家並不特別優於其他人，藝術家只是選擇了藝術當作生活，選擇了藝術當作工作，選擇讓藝術佔據了他生命的幾乎全部。 已逝的旅法藝術家陳箴，便是一位生命...
