Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light…edgewear to wraps, age toning. *** CONTENTS: Foreword and acknowledgements, by Stephen Fleischman; A return to function, by Jane Simon; Notes on function, by Martha Schwendener; Usefulness: an extension beyond an intention, by Ami Barak. "Return to Function surveys contemporary artists who make functional objects that verge on 'the designed'--from vehicles to clothes to mobile studio units--which happily confirm that the once-firm line between fine art and the applied arts is indeed dissolving. These artists--Jules De Balincourt, Claire Fontaine, Franncois Curlet, Fabrice Hyber, J. Morgan Puett, Michael Rakowitz, Joe Scanlan, Franck Scurti, Ricardo Miranda Z iga and others--make objects that are simultaneously critical and practical. By choosing to create objects that meet utilitarian criteria, they show that artworks can be a part of the larger social, political and economic fabric. This volume features an in-depth discussion of seminal artists working in this vein, including Lucy Orta, Andrea Zittel and Jorge Pardo." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Ken Johnson called Martin's paintings 'contemporary icons that stand for deep-running collective urges, like the fantasy of an intimate connection with nature.' This artist's book/monograph positions appropriated advertisements, snapshots, found images and studio pictures alongside reproductions of pai…ntings and drawings, providing a view of the artist's thinking about representation of the contemporary landscape.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilem Flusser's early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens.Predicting the importance of technology and images for the twenty-first century as early as the 1970s, Vilem Flusser warned,… "the basic structure of our thinking is about to experience a mutation." The bewitching images and screens that surround us could lead toward a centrally programmed, totalitarian society-or to another, better one characterized by dialogue and collaboration among humans and new forms of intelligence.In this book on the idiosyncratic and prescient Czech-Brazilian philosopher, Martha Schwendener explores the profound effect of art on Flusser's thought. The Society of the Screen reveals how Flusser's lifelong engagement with experimental practices-from abstract painting and concrete poetry in Brazil to video, cybernetics, and photography in Europe and the United States-as well as his extensive involvement with the S o Paulo Biennial informed his belief that we were moving from "history"-a civilization informed by linear writing-into "post-history," dominated by technical images.Schwendener documents the importance of Flusser's correspondence and collaboration with artists like Mira Schendel, Fred Forest, Wen-Ying Tsai, Harun Farocki, Louis Bec, and Karl Gerstner for the evolution of his ideas. How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilem Flusser s early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. GHava Press [Published Date: 2009]. Hardcover, 135 pp. Inscribed (personalized) and signed by Cameron Martin on title page. With essays by Martha Schwendener & Alexander Dumbadze. Image index. Very good in very good dust jacket. Black Paper over Boards with white… lettering on front and spine. light bumping and scuffing to edges of covers. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Dust jacket has a few nicks and light creasing to edges. light overall scuffing to jacket as well. NOT price clipped Now in an archival-quality Brodart Cover NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. [From front jacket flap] Purposely overlapping the traditional categories of artist book and monograph, analogue is an amalgam of images that forms a visual account of what motivates artist Cameron Martin's methodology and production. The non-hierarchical layout positions appropriated advertisements, travel snapshots, found images and studio pictures alongside reproductions of actual paintings and drawings. What emerges is a complex view of the artists thinking about representation of the contemporary landscape. Rather than the typical explanatory essays found in most books about artists, the included writings have an asymptotic relationship to the imagery, framing the visual material with further texture. Martha Schwendener's wide-reaching text takes on the history of landscape and the sublime as they have been filtered through painting and photography. Alexander Dumbadze's essay on Robert Manry's solo voyage across the North Atlantic in a thirteen-and-a-half-foot sailboat provokes questions about the relationship between nature, will and failure. The combination results in this unusual and remarkable volume. Signed by Author.
