$46.95
(available to order)
Summary:
This illustrated volume examines how the natural world is transformed through the creative use of language.

Summary:
A major retrospective survey celebrating one of Canada's greatest landscape photographers, Geoffrey James. Geoffrey James's photographic work over the past twenty years explores the natural environment and the way in which human activity registers upon it. All his photographs, from the tranquility of the Roman Campagna to the desolate demarcations of the U.S./Mexican border, reverberate with a sense of human habitation, which is not always formally evident. This major retrospective includes an illustrated chronology of James's career and essays from Lori Pauli, Stephen Bann and Britt Salvesen.

Summary:
Examining how monuments preserve memory, the essays demonstrate how phenomena as diverse as ancient drum towers in China and ritual whale-killings in the Pacific Northwest serve to represent and negotiate time. Connecting that history to the present, they explore not only how monuments have inspired travel and pilgrimage for millennia but also how new electronic media(...)

Summary:
Examining how monuments preserve memory, the essays demonstrate how phenomena as diverse as ancient drum towers in China and ritual whale-killings in the Pacific Northwest serve to represent and negotiate time. Connecting that history to the present, they explore not only how monuments have inspired travel and pilgrimage for millennia but also how new electronic media are changing the very nature of such pilgrimages. With an epilogue on the World Trade Center. Contributors : Stephen Bann, Jonathan Bordo, Julia Bryan-Wilson, Jas Elsner, Tapati Guha-Thakurta, Robert S. Nelson, Margaret Olin, Ruth B.

Summary:
The publication features essays by twelve authors grouped in four parts. It represents a major advance in the study of nineteenth century photographic representations of Indian architecture and a benchmark in the study of post-colonial history. Collectively, the authors demonstrate how photographs can be read not just as records of an architectural past, but as complex artefacts of the cultural and political forces shaping colonial India. Contributors include CCA Associate Curator Maria Antonella Pelizzari; art historian Stephen Bann; historians of photography Julia Ballerini, John Falconer and Janet Dewan; historical anthropologist Nicholas Dirks; political theorist Partha Chatterjee; colonial historians Tapati Guha-Thakurta and Peter H. Hoffenberg, Narayani Gupta and Thomas R. Metcalf; and anthropologist Christopher Pinney.

Summary:
Cette publication, qui regroupe en quatre parties des essais de douze auteurs, représente une avancée majeure dans l’analyse de la représentation photographique de l’architecture indienne et une référence en étude de l’histoire post-colonialiste de cette région. Les auteurs démontrent collectivement que l’on doit non seulement interpréter les photographies présentées comme un simple témoignage du passé architectural indien, mais aussi y voir le résultat d’un ensemble complexe de composantes politiques et culturelles qui ont forgé l’Inde coloniale. Les douze auteurs sont : la commissaire associée du CCA, Maria Antonella Pelizzari; l’historien de l’art Stephen Bann; les historiens en photographie Julia Ballerini, John Falconer et Janet Dewan; l’historien en anthropologie Nicholas Dirks; le théoricien en politique Partha Chatterjee; les historiens de la période coloniale Tapati Guha-Thakurta et Peter H. Hoffenberg, Narayani Gupta et Thomas R. Metcalf; et l’anthropologue Christopher Pinney.

Summary:
In 1969, House and Garden magazine commissioned one of the first minimalist artists, Patricia Johanson, to propose new directions for American garden art. Having never been exhibited or published before as a whole, the resulting garden proposals reveal an unknown dimension of the New York art world of the late 1960s. Three years of research have brought 146 surviving drawings to light. They demonstrate the intimate progress of the artist’s engagement with nature in her quest for an art concerned with ethical relationships between humans and the natural world. Shuttling between the West and the East, and the contemporary and the historical, Johanson takes equal distances from earthworks created by her peer artists such as Robert Smithson, and the environmentalism advocated by landscape architects following Ian McHarg. Her vision of a new modernity is still significant today. The book is divided into 2 volumes, and includes a preface by Stephen Bann and a catalogue of 146 original garden proposals.
