Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, Project Europaconsiders the relationship of art and artists to democracy. What is the role of art in the public sphere? In what ways do artists mediate the vital and critical political issues of their time? What is the emancipator potential of art? In the exhibition, nineteen artists from the British Isles to Turkey challenge the collective imagination of Europe while confronting a paradox: Europe as the site of possibility and impossibility for creating an egalitarian society. Europe is a name, a continent, and an abstract idea. Europe was the center of Judeo-Christian tradition and, later, the beacon of the Enlightenment's universal values of equity, tolerance, and reason. Nevertheless, Europe has also given rise to xenophobia and racism, religious intolerance, and the hardening of immigration policies. This thought-provoking, visually dynamic exhibition includes poetry, photography, prints, paintings, video, installations, and wall drawings, and features an international roster of artists. In the debate between the separation of art from everyday life or the immersion of art into everyday life, these artists stake a claim at the intersection of both sides. Project Europa: Imagining the (Im)Possible, appeared at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art February 7-May 9, 2010. A preview of the exhibition appeared in Art Forum;reviews will appear in the June issues of Art in Americaand Camera Austriamagazines.The exhibition travels to the Miriam and Ira D.

Softcover. Condition: VG+. Lavender and color pictorial wraps, 184 pp., many illus., chiefly in color. Issued in conjunction with a series of 2015-2016 exhibitions that examine "the influence of Claude Monet (1840-1926) on a generation of American artists who encountered Impressionism and made it their own. Monet and other French Impressionists eschewed academic traditions in favor of spontaneous brushstrokes, bright color palettes, and the transcience of everyday reality. Featuring works by Monet and more than twenty American artists, including Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, and John Henry Twachtman, this exhibition examines how the innovations of French Impressionism were adopted and transformed into one of the most enduring styles in American painting. This book includes eight essays and a short story that examine various aspects of history, culture, literature, and sociology to shed light on how American artists embraced and transformed the style and themes of Monet and other French artists."

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida [Published Date: 2017]. Soft cover, 82 pp. Catalog for an exhibition held at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, David A.

Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. Full color illustrations [From publisher] The art of miniatures takes many forms and exists across time and cultures. Issues of size, scale, modeling, ownership, production, and historical and contemporary functions of miniatures will be examined. Questions that will be addressed include: How do views and inquiries of the artist, scientist, and designer benefit from comparisons and contrasts of a miniaturization of a work? What are perspective and scale in the arts? How do we define how we see things? This exhibition, which is drawn from the Harn's permanent collection of Asian art, highlights an overlooked theme in Asian art and presents a unique opportunity to remind viewers that art comes in all shapes and sizes. It also illuminates the investigation by our collective via constant inquiries into size, scale, modeling, technique, means/opportunities, and intellectual and theoretic growth. Why Mini? Why Now? Miniature artworks on display in museums often are overshadowed by monumental works. Show Me the Mini is organized to remind us that we are surrounded by that which is small and tiny, and that our languages reflect this reality. We encounter "mini" automobiles, microwave "mini" snacks, and endure micro-derm abrasion therapies to alter the way we look. Cutting edge research and technologies, such as those being developed by our University of Florida exhibition partner, Nanoscience Institute for Medical and Engineering Technology (NIMET), allow tiny technological devices to improve healthcare and better our understanding of the seen and unseen worlds around us. Show Me the Mini therefore demonstrates that creating and investigating miniatures have always been the case for artists and scientists no matter where or when they lived.
