On Kawara (Contemporary Artists)
Jonathan Watkins Manufacturer: Phaidon Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0714841048 |
Book Description
Japanese-born, New York-based On Kawara is one of the world's best-known Conceptual artists, a major international figure since the 1960s. Kawara's existence is documented solely through his daily art-making practice; best known are his Date Paintings (1965-ongoing), in which he methodically creates a single painting a day, always in the same size and with simply the date written upon it. This book is a chance for his followers to unravel more of the mystery of this cult figure.A unique feature of this book is the 'Tribute' section, to replace the Interview, which reflects the artist's lifelong commitment never to be personally documented in his own words. A collection of short statements by thirty individuals selected by Kawara - among them artists Lawrence Weiner and Dan Graham and cultural theorist Homi Bhabha - create an indirect 'portrait of the artist'. In his Survey, curator Jonathan Watkins examines the artist's long career, from his early figurative painting in the 1950s, to his later, text-based Conceptual art. Curator RenÈ Denizot analyses in his Focus a two-person exhibition combining Kawara's work with Alberto Giacometti's, revealing both artists' shared concern for the essence of human existence. The artist's interest in consciousness is reflected in a scientific essay he has selected for his Artist's Choice from the academic Journal of Consciousness Studies. In the Artist's Writings a series of handwritten love letters in an indecipherable code reflect the mix of the impersonal and the deeply humanistic that runs through his art.

On Kawara: The 90S
Thierry Davila , and On Kawara Manufacturer: JRP/Ringier ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 2940271585 Release Date: 2005-03-15 |
Book Description
Can you recall what you were doing on April 3, 1990? What about on July 17, 1996? October 23, 1998? In Date Paintings, time itself has become art--art that carries viewers back in time. These black and white paintings are pure realism, the existence of time put in painting, thus rendering the works--up to a certain point--both viewable and readable. The 11 paintings, made by Conceptual artist On Kawara over the course of a decade, allow viewers to complete their reading with personal associations, historical events, or academic interpretations. The book, conceived with Kawara himself, is a decidedly different and intimate take on an artist's monograph. In it, Kawara has invented a simple and striking way to make art by taking his time and using the calendar to make a kind of non-individual art work.

Book Description
Many of today's artists display an affinity for the techniques and subjects of 1960s and 70s conceptual art. A new look at the work of Bas Jan Ader, Carl Andre, Art & Language, John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Daniel Buren, Jan Dibbets, Gilbert & George, Joseph Kosuth, Sol Lewitt, Bruce Nauman, On Kawara, Edward Ruscha, Robert Ryman, Robert Smithson, Lawrence Weiner, and others bears exploring in relation to the processes and themes of contemporary art. By considering conceptual art in the Netherlands and Belgium from 1965-1975, this publication hopes to answer such questions, especially in relation to the Netherlands as a melting pot for ideas and the importance of Dutch institutions in supporting and disseminating conceptual art.

On Kawara: Horizontality/Verticality
Ulrich Wilmes , Michel Butor , and On Kawara Manufacturer: Verlag Der Buchhandlung Walther Konig ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3883754471 |
Book Description
" Horizontality and Perpendicularity" documents the various places visited by Japanese artist On Kawara through his projects "I GOT UP" and "I WENT ", ongoing projects begun in 1968. "I GOT UP" consists of stamped postcards--stating time, venue, sender, and addressee--sent twice a day by Kawara from cities all over the world to friends and acquaintances. "I WENT" documents the distances covered daily by the artist, marked in photocopies of city maps. "Horizontality and Perpendicularity" covers both process-projects, combining a postcard and a city map for each day. French novelist and theorist Michel Butor contributes with an essay on Kawara's extremely systematic art--which recalls, in its way, Butor's experiments with the "nouveau roman" (or new novel) in the 1950s and 1960s. Beautiful and necessary, "Horizontality and Perpendicularity" is an impressive testament to Kawara's dismantling of the boundaries between art and life.

"The Wild Hunt": Beyond monsters and tyrants..........2000-03-22
The early episodes concentrate - seemingly - on the elves' battle against a vicious sea-creature named "The Redeemer". When the series first appeared, some readers were disappointed at what they considered an unoriginal, man-versus-monster plot. Gradually, though, it became obvious that the true theme of this tale was the superstitiousness of the humans, and their continuing fear of the "point-eared demons" - and when Ember's folk finally confront the Redeemer, they must also confront the hostility and credulity of the five-fingers: a much tougher enemy, indeed, than any monster, as the conclusion makes clear.
Fine as this early part of the story is, the series hits its full stride only as the plot moves to the next turn of events: the vanquished Djun's scheme to overthrow - through his children - the elves who cost him his empire. The result of his conspiracy stretches the elves' ability to deal with humans - and, in Book 11c - their very existence - near the breaking-point; the travails of Tyleet, the elf most sympathetic to the human race, are especially heart-rending.
The first eight episodes of WH featured artwork by Steve Blevins, who also pencilled most of the episodes in "Legacy" (Book 11) and "Huntress" (Book 11a), the two preludes to this story. Of the various artists who have drawn EQ episodes, Blevins has come closest to replicating Wendy Pini's unique style; and indeed the last two episodes by his hand, though uninked and therefore on the light side, are surprisingly nuanced and detailed for the black-and-white medium. The remaining episodes in Book 11b - and all those in Book 11c - are the work of Lorraine Reyes, and represent a complete shift in style: sharp, angular, and undeniably inspired my Japanese "manga" comics. Hers is not Pini-esque drawing and is not intended to be; at the same time, it is wonderfully lucid, and some of the best pencil work yet seen in an EQ story (though many of the Reyes-drawn episodes were very indifferently printed, especially the first one in this book).
As the showcase of the Elfquest canon for the past four years, "The Wild Hunt" has added newfound depth to the two-decade-old series; most importantly, without slavishly copying Wendy Pini's early work, WH has come closest to the essential spirit of the best-known EQ stories, and deserves to be considered their rightful heir. Recommended - even though the sequel will be more moving still!

Doomed Bourgeois in Love : Essays on the Films of Whit Stillman
Manufacturer: Intercollegiate Studies Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1882926706 |
Book Description
Critics have praised the films of writer/director Whit Stillman for their exceptionally intelligent portrayal of the lives and loves of the "urban haute bourgeoisie." His three comedies of manners--"Metropolitan," "Barcelona," and "The Last Days of Disco"--sparkle with urbane and ironic wit. In Doomed Bourgeois in Love, the traditionalist social critic Mark C. Henrie brings together a collection of political theorists, literary critics, and classicists to explore the meaning of Stillman's films. These essays contend that Stillman's art is an effort to "ironize" our ironic age; as such, they constitute a major achievement of Christian humanism in our time.Customer Reviews:

Scholarly Examination of the Stillman Films.......2003-01-04
Here's hoping the book soon becomes outdated as Stillman turns out a series of additional films. But until then, these essays look at three of the most brilliant movies of the 1990s. Enjoy them, and then enjoy reading about them, too.
