Paperback. Condition: Good. The Art Life: On Creativity and Career is a collection of solicited and selected texts that address the philosophical and practical issues that affect art-making and the marketplace. It brings together visual artists, curators, dealers, writers, musicians, architects, actors, and educators, who speak to their internal motivations, influences and processes, and to their external engagements with community, audience, career and success. Many of the contributors have taken part in exhibitions and public programs at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center from 2007 to the present, and others have been included to represent provocative historical and contemporary viewpoints by a range of influential figures. The texts are taken from lectures, interviews, published statements, websites and email exchanges, and are joined by images of artists in the midst of creating or installing, as well as completed art works. The analytic and inspirational entries address the fact that a life in the arts can be simultaneously rewarding, frustrating, doubt-filled, joyful and uncertain. And yet, thousands of artists persist every day, motivated by a private insistency and the promise of satisfaction and recognition. Each is attempting to combine their creative life with a thriving career, and this publication provides various "words of wisdom" which can serve to inspire, challenge and reassure them. As painter Franz Kline said, "The real thing about creating is to have the capacity to be embarrassed." The composite nature of The Art Life is meant to posit that each creative individual must find the necessary information and materials to best establish their unique voice. The book is as much found as written, a heady mix of opinions and questions that can be used in classrooms and studios by artists of all ages. …

Hardback. Condition: New. A joining of two artists, exploring their shared fixation on the problematics of architecture, language, institutions, scale, and value '[The exhibition is] powerful and unhinged and overbuilt-a monument to the entropy of the postindustrial city, and the tenuous dance of its inhabitants.' - The New York Times Gordon Matta-Clark and Pope.L are esteemed for their respective interdisciplinary practices that examine the value and paradoxes of urban life as well as the risk inherent in art making. Utilizing performance, film, drawing, and various multimedia projects, the two artists often open up interstitial spaces by realizing sweeping gestures that take into account shifting, decentralized zones. Grounded in the concept of failure, the sixth exhibition at 52 Walker and its accompanying catalogue reconsider societal, artistic, and structural failure-and in its expression a consideration of hope. With an introduction by the curator and director of 52 Walker Ebony L. Haynes, this publication also includes a conversation piece between Haynes, the artist Pope.L, and the director of LAXART, Hamza Walker, that discusses the visual, material, and conceptual similarities between Pope.L's and Gordon Matta-Clark's work and what it means to treat the possibilities of failure as an artistic medium. About Clarion The Clarion series of illustrated publications is positioned as an extension of each exhibition at the groundbreaking gallery space 52 Walker, curated by Ebony L. Haynes. The program focuses on showcasing conceptual and research-based artists from a range of backgrounds and at various stages in their careers.

With a sleek design influenced by encyclopedias, each publication features color reproductions of the works on view, alongside an introduction by Haynes, commissioned essays, artist texts, archival materials, and more.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Text Paradyzo, rozsahem blizici se romanu, avsak zanrove velmi tezko vymezitelny, je reflexivni, meditativni, filozoficka proza, kvazidenik, mystifikacni prelud neustale balancujici na hranici snu a skutecnosti s mnohymi prvky osobiteho humoru, jazykoveho i situacniho. Je zajimavym prikladem ceske literatury vznikajici mimo uzemi nasi republiky, a presto reflektujici soudobou domaci skutecnost. Hlavnim hrdinou je sam vypravec a situace, udalosti a svet videny jeho ocima, jeho neustale premitajicim mozkem a posuzujici mysli.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. >>Popeluv roman Ohledavani casu pritomneho naopak az bobtna nejen imaginaci, s niz je pribeh rozvijen, ale i stylem, ktery je kosaty, bohaty a nuti nektere pasaze vyslovovat nahlas, propukat smichem ci trnout. Romanovy projekt, jak signalizuje uz nazev, je vystaven na pudorysu velkych modernistickych romanu - nejen Hledani ztraceneho casu, ale i Kafkovych romanu, Haskova Svejka, Klimova Utrpeni knizete Sternenhocha a podobne. Od velkych autoru si Richard Popel bere potrebu experimentujiciho a grandiozniho psani a vypravovani; zaroven ale tyto romany, predevsim Proustovo Hledani, nostalgicky v pribehu odsouva do minulosti jako neco, co bylo, ale uz neni. Roman v postapokalyptickem duchu lici svet v leccems podobny svetu Topolova Citliveho cloveka - svet, ktery se jevi jako neproniknutelny chaos, jenz vytrhal vsechny tradicni koreny a prinalezitosti a nabizi jen provizorni prezivani. Prave v kontrastu s obrazy soucasnosti o to sugestivneji pusobi ony velke romany minulosti, k nimz se odkazuje, ale ktere uz v tom soucasnem svete zaroven vyznivaji muzealne a nepouzitelne.<< Petr A.
