Paperback. Condition: New. Winner, Robert Motherwell Book Award, Outstanding Book on Modernism in the Arts, The Dedalus Foundation, 2019As Latin American elites strove to modernize their cities at the turn of the twentieth century, they eagerly adopted the eugenic theory that improvements to the physical environment would lead to improvements in the human race. Based on Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's theory of the "inheritance of acquired characteristics," this strain of eugenics empowered a utopian project that made race, gender, class, and the built environment the critical instruments of modernity and progress.Through a transnational and interdisciplinary lens, Eugenics in the Garden reveals how eugenics, fueled by a fear of social degeneration in France, spread from the realms of medical science to architecture and urban planning, becoming a critical instrument in the crafting of modernity in the new Latin world. Journeying back and forth between France, Brazil, and Argentina, Fabiola López-Durán uncovers the complicity of physicians and architects on both sides of the Atlantic, who participated in a global strategy of social engineering, legitimized by the authority of science. In doing so, she reveals the ideological trajectory of one of the most celebrated architects of the twentieth century, Le Corbusier, who deployed architecture in what he saw as the perfecting and whitening of man. The first in-depth interrogation of eugenics' influence on the construction of the modern built environment, Eugenics in the Garden convincingly demonstrates that race was the main tool in the geopolitics of space, and that racism was, and remains, an ideology of progress.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. First edition. 1/500. Small Folio. x, (6)pp., (1) 18 plates, (8)pp., 11 plates, (1) page, 4 (1) plates, Original gray cloth with red lettering on cover. Beautifully illustrated with thirty-three color plates rendered with fine screen offset lithography. "The work of Linarejos Moreno (Madrid 1974) has developed as an apparatus for interrogating Modernity through the liminal scenarios that the gradual globalization of European industrial capitalism has left in its wake. In 2009 Linarejos came across the 19th-century botanical models held in the scientific cabinets belonging to Madrid's historical institutes. Linajeros embarked upon one of the two projects included in this exhibition: Art Form in Mechanism. This took shape through a series of linked experiments: first, the appropriation of the introductory text to Urformen der Kunst (Art Forms in Nature), Karl Blossfeldt's celebrated book of botanical photographs dating from 1928, in which Linarejos replaced the word "nature" with the word "mechanism." Secondly, using the same scientific systematization and uniformity of frames, borders and backgrounds that characterize Blossfeldt's photographs, Linajeros compiled a photographic record of botanical models.

8°, 264 S., zahlr. farb. Abb., Kart., Tadell. EA. Varini (*1952) ist ein schweizer Maler, der, ähnlich wie ein Installationskünstler, vorhandene Architektur als Hintergrund nutzt. Er erschafft sowohl Kunstwerke innerhalb eines Gebäudes als auch aus mehreren Gebäuden zusammengesetzte. Von einem von ihm festgelegten Blickpunkt aus kann das Kunstwerk, das in der Regel geometrische Formen ergibt, in seiner Gesamtheit betrachtet werden; beim Verlassen dieses Punktes zerfällt es in seine Fragmente.Varinis Werke waren in über 50 Einzelausstellungen in Europa, den USA, Asien und Australien und in zahlreichen Kollektivausstellungen zu sehen. In über 20 Städten gestaltete er Gebäude im öffentlichen Raum. Die im Jahr 2017 in Osnabrück gezeigte Installation ?Vier blaue Kreise? bezieht sich auf das Jubiläum der Reformation.Im Jahr 2000 wurde Varini für den Prix Marcel Duchamp nominiert. 1600 gr. Schlagworte: Kunst - Monographien.
