Synopsis
The eye is the dominant sensory organ of our age, with more and more information received in still and moving images, and more and more information mined visually from spatial dimensions that are ever smaller and ever greater. The use of a wide variety of optical devices has long been second nature to us, and their methods of extending the reach of our sight--virtually and really--have instigated fundamental, far-reaching changes in our understanding of reality. The Expanded Eye takes a concerted look at an experimental side of art, where seeing means insight. It presents paintings, objects, film and video installations from the 1950s to the present, a spectrum that takes into equal account the playful experiments of postwar art and the radically altered premises of recent artistic practice. Artists include Bridget Riley, Robert Smithson, Jonas Mekas, Olafur Eliasson and Jules Spinatsch.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z/B : 256 pp., 480 ills. 19.50 x 29.00 cm - The Expanded Eye shows how the horizons have widened in art, as abstraction has become dematerialization which has in turn led us into fluid, hybrid universes where very different levels of reality mingle. The removal of past barriers reflects the changed role of the artist as an explorer who has a playful side and who actively empathizes with his or her addressees, namely the public at large. The publication also contains an anthology of texts from the most diverse subject areas from artist statements by Lucio Fontana and Josef Albers to theoretical essays by Rudolf Arnheim and philosophical texts by Georg Kubler and Teilhard de Chardin.

The Expanded Eye : Stalking the Unseen. Catalogue of the Exhibition at Kunsthaus Zürich, 2006
Seller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Neu. Neu Neuware, auf Lager, , Sofortversand - The Expanded Eye lenkt den Blick auf die forschende Seite der Kunst: Sehen heißt hier erkennen. The Expanded Eye präsentiert Bilder, Objekte, Film- und Videoinstallationen von den 1950er Jahren bis heute. Ein Spektrum, das die spielerischen Experimente der Nachkriegskunst wie die unter radikal veränderten Voraussetzungen entwickelten Praktiken des 21. Jahrhunderts berücksichtigt. The Expanded Eye zeigt auf, wie sich in der Kunst eine ''Horizonterweiterung'' vollzogen hat, eine Wandlung von der Abstraktion zur Dematerialisation, hin zum Erschließen von ''flüssigen'', hybriden Universen, in denen sich unterschiedliche Realitätsebenen vermischen. Dem Entgrenzen entspricht ein verändertes Rollenverständnis des Künstlers als Forscher und Spieler, der mit Empathie für den Adressaten operiert, das Publikum. Das Buch enthält darüber hinaus eine Anthologie mit Textbeispielen aus den verschiedensten Gebieten - von Künstlerstatements von Lucio Fontana und Josef Albers über theoretische Essays von Rudolf Arnheim bis hin zu philosophischen Grundlagen von Georg Kubler und Teilhard de Chardin.
