Items related to Art Works: Autobiography
Art Works: An exciting new series celebrating the vitality and diversity of art in the twenty-first century.
Everyone projects a self-image, but rarely does it accord with others' perceptions. Everyone carries memories from the past, but often they are selective distortions of the truth. Arranged into themed "rooms," Autobiography reflects a wide variety of artistic attitudes and practices. Some artists claim to reveal the private details of their lives in authentic shows of intimacy; others seek to mask themselves behind invented alter egos or carefully designed images or personae. Some explore the influence of the media or of political and social systems on our sense of who we are, while others explore the impact of one's ethnic or racial background on self-identity. Artists question how identity is formed in a global world and explore the changing role of the individual in modern society, expanding our understanding of what it means to be alive today. All of the artists in this book use art to figure out the complicated ways in which we create stories about ourselves. All of them help us understand the world in which we live. 230 illustrations, 200 in color"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author:
Barbara Steiner is an Austrian curator, writer, and teacher, and the director of the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst in Leipzig. Jun Yang was born in China, brought up in Vienna, and educated in Amsterdam and Beijing. His art addresses the ways identity is formed in an age of globalism, focusing especially on his own transnational personality.
