【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Lateness and Longing On the Afterlife of Photography【電子書籍】[ George Baker ]

＜p＞＜strong＞How a generation of women artists is transforming photography with analogue techniques.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beginning in the 1990s, a series of major artists imagined the expansion of photography, intensifying its ideas and effects while abandoning many of its former medium constraints. Simultaneous with this development in contemporary art, however, photography was moving toward total digitalization.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Lateness and Longing＜/em＞ presents the first account of a generation of artistsーfocused on the work of Zoe Leonard, Tacita Dean, Sharon Lockhart, and Moyra Daveyーwho have collectively transformed the practice of photography, using analogue technologies in a dissident way and radicalizing signifiers of older models of feminist art. All these artists have resisted the transition to the digital in their work. Insteadーin what amounts to a series of feminist polemicsーthey return to earlier, incomplete, or unrealized moments in photography's history, gravitating toward the analogue basis of photographic mediums. Their work announces that photography has becomeーnot obsoleteーbut "late," opened up by the potentially critical forces of anachronism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through a strategy of returnーof refusing to let goーthe work of these artists proposes an afterlife and survival of the photographic in contemporary art, a formal lateness wherein photography finds its way forward through resistance to the contemporary itself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Fallen Idols Twelve Statues That Made History【電子書籍】[ Alex von Tunzelmann ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A timely and lively look at the act of toppling monuments that explores the vital question of how a society remembersーand confrontsーthe past.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞An ＜em＞Economist＜/em＞ Best Book of the Year＜/strong＞＜br /＞ In 2020, history came tumbling down. From the US and the UK to Belgium, New Zealand, and Bangladesh, Black Lives Matter protesters defaced, and in some cases, hauled down statues of Confederate icons, slaveholders, and imperialists. General Robert E. Lee, head of the Confederate Army, was covered in graffiti in Richmond, Virginia. Edward Colston, a member of Parliament and slave trader, was knocked off his plinth in Bristol, England, and hurled into the harbor. Statues of Christopher Columbus were toppled in Minnesota, burned and thrown into a lake in Virginia, and beheaded in Massachusetts. Winston Churchill's monument in London was daubed with the word "racist." As these iconic effigies fell, the backlash was swift and intense.＜br /＞ But as the past three hundred years have shown, history is not erased when statues are removed. If anything, Alex von Tunzelmann reminds us, it is made.＜br /＞ Exploring the rise and fall of twelve famous, yet now controversial statues, she takes us on a fascinating global historical tour around North America, Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia, filled with larger than life characters and dramatic stories. Von Tunzelmann reveals that statues are not historical records but political statements and distinguishes between statuaryーthe representation of "virtuous" individuals, usually "Great Men"ーand other forms of sculpture, public art, and memorialization. Nobody wants to get rid of all memorials. But ＜em＞Fallen Idols＜/em＞ asks: have statues had their day?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞Sounds Beyond＜/em＞ charts the origins of Arvo P?rt's most famous music, which was created in dialogue with underground creative circles in the USSR.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ In ＜em＞Sounds Beyond＜/em＞, Kevin C. Karnes studies the interconnected alternative music and art scenes in the USSR during the second half of the 1970s, revealing the audacious origins of some of Estonian composer Arvo P?rt's most famous music. Karnes shows how P?rt's work was created within a vital yet forgotten culture of collective experimentation, the Soviet underground.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mining archives and oral history from across the former USSR, ＜em＞Sounds Beyond＜/em＞ carefully situates modes of creative experimentation within their late socialist contexts. In documenting P?rt's work, Karnes reveals the rich creative culture that thrived covertly in the USSR and the network of figures that made underground performances possible: students, audio engineers, sympathetic administrators, star performers, and aspiring DJs. ＜em＞Sounds Beyond＜/em＞ advances a new understanding of P?rt's music as an expression of the aesthetic and religious commitments shared, nurtured, and celebrated by many in Soviet underground circles. At the same time, this story attests to the lasting power of P?rt's music. Dislodging the mythology of the solitary creative genius, Karnes shows that P?rt's work would be impossible without community.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

At a time when Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art dominated the American art world, individual artists and art collectives played a significant role in antiwar protest and inspired subsequent generations of artists. This significant story of engagement, which has never been covered in a book-length survey before, is the subject of ＜em＞Kill for Peace＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Writing for both general and academic audiences, Matthew Israel recounts the major moments in the Vietnam War and the antiwar movement and describes artists' individual and collective responses to them. He discusses major artists such as Leon Golub, Edward Kienholz, Martha Rosler, Peter Saul, Nancy Spero, and Robert Morris; artists' groups including the Art Workers' Coalition (AWC) and the Artists Protest Committee (APC); and iconic works of collective protest art such as AWC's Q. And Babies? A. And Babies and APC's The Artists Tower of Protest. Israel also formulates a typology of antiwar engagement, identifying and naming artists' approaches to protest. These approaches range from extra-aesthetic actionsーadvertisements, strikes, walk-outs, and petitions without a visual aspectーto advance memorials, which were war memorials purposefully created before the war's end that criticized both the war and the form and content of traditional war memorials.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Accessible and informative." ーArt Libraries Society of North America＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles showcases the diversity of our plant and animal life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wild Isles is a celebration of the wildlife found on a relatively modest collection of islands positioned at a latitude so northerly to be unattractive to many animals and plants. Despite these unpromising foundations, the islands of Britain and Ireland, together with more than 6,000 lesser islets that make up our archipelago, contain some of the most diverse, beautiful and wildlife-rich landscapes and seas on our planet.＜br /＞ This book will explore the fascinating relationships within and between species who make their home on our beautiful isles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each chapter focuses on a particular kind of wild space. Britain and Ireland are dominated by a wide variety of grasslands from lowland water meadows to upland moors, and we will see how these human-shaped, semi-natural landscapes thrum with insect, bird and mammal life. Life requires water to flourish, and streams and rivers carry freshwater through our landscape, creating unique ecosystems and interrelations within and beside these waters, which are revealed in a third section. While Britain and Ireland’s woodlands are comparatively thin on the ground compared with most of continental Europe, we will see some of the forests and trees that remain are unusually ancient and, great repositories of life. Finally, of course, we are surrounded by sea, and our position on the continental shelf before it plunges into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean gives rise to an often overlooked plenty of marine life. A glorious richness divided into five breathtaking sections.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】School for Cool The Academic Jazz Program and the Paradox of Institutionalized Creativity【電子書籍】[ Eitan Y. Wilf ]

＜p＞Jazz was born on the streets, grew up in the clubs, and will dieーso some fearーat the university. Facing dwindling commercial demand and the gradual disappearance of venues, many aspiring jazz musicians today learn their craft, and find their careers, in one of the many academic programs that now offer jazz degrees. ＜em＞School for Cool＜/em＞ is their story. Going inside the halls of two of the most prestigious jazz schools aroundーat Berklee College of Music in Boston and the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New YorkーEitan Y. Wilf tackles a formidable question at the heart of jazz today: can creativity survive institutionalization?＜br /＞ Few art forms epitomize the anti-institutional image more than jazz, but it's precisely at the academy where jazz is now flourishing. This shift has introduced numerous challenges and contradictions to the music's practitioners. Solos are transcribed, technique is standardized, and the whole endeavor is plastered with the label "high art"ーa far cry from its freewheeling days. Wilf shows how students, educators, and administrators have attempted to meet these challenges with an inventive spirit and a robust drive to preserveーand fosterーwhat they consider to be jazz's central attributes: its charisma and unexpectedness. He also highlights the unintended consequences of their efforts to do so. Ultimately, he argues, the gap between creative practice and institutionalized schooling, although real, is often the product of our efforts to close it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
