Summary:
Starling is a key figure in one of contemporary art's most significant recent developments: the linking of artistic practice and knowledge production. Although this tendency flourished with Conceptual art in the 1960s and 1970s, in recent years it has taken on a new intensity.

Summary:
Starling is a key figure in one of contemporary art's most significant recent developments: the linking of artistic practice and knowledge production. Although this tendency flourished with Conceptual art in the 1960s and 1970s, in recent years it has taken on a new intensity. Unlike the Conceptual artists, however, many of whom strove for a language-based dematerialized art, for Starling the object is always at the work's heart. Economies, ecologies, coincidences and convergences are all simply means to an end -- although 'simply' may be the wrong word to describe the transformation of thousands of miles of travel and hundreds of years of history into a single sculpture, film or photograph.

Sergei Sviatchenko: collages
$49.99
(available to order)
Summary:
Each day brings another deluge of images, and with this overproduction can come a panicky sensation that the meaning of images is draining away. The urge to divert the flow has given rise to a new international wave of collage-making. This is the first monograph to focus exclusively on the prolific collage output of Sergei Sviatchenko, a leading figure in the contemporary(...)

Summary:
Each day brings another deluge of images, and with this overproduction can come a panicky sensation that the meaning of images is draining away. The urge to divert the flow has given rise to a new international wave of collage-making. This is the first monograph to focus exclusively on the prolific collage output of Sergei Sviatchenko, a leading figure in the contemporary collage world. Edited by Rick Poynor, who provides a critical overview, it gathers Sviatchenko's most significant work from the past 10 years and shows little-seen collages from his early years in Ukraine before he moved in 1990 to live and work in Denmark.

Summary:
This is a volume on Light Art, the current in contemporary art that uses artificial light as its primary expressive instrument. In the first section an extensive introductory essay by Amnon Barzel underlines how practically interrupted study into the chromatic values of light have been part of the history of art from its very beginnings right through to the most recent developments, recalling the experiences of Caravaggio and de La Tour regarding internal light and the expressionists for external light, thus underlining how the invention of artificial light has enriched the light-art relationship opening a fascinating new chapter, inaugurated by the experiments carried out from the fifties by artists such as Fontana, Flavin, Merz and others. A text by Paolo Targetti follows dealing with the fundamental role played by the relationship between art and industry in contemporary art. Consuelo de Gara conducts an extended interview of James Turrell, the US artist unanimously considered the greatest master of Light Art. The second section is devoted to the Targetti Light Art Collection, one of the most prestigious collections in the world dealing with artificial light. The images and description of each of the works which make up the collection are accompanied by a retrospective critical text on the artists who created them. Among the artists presented are some of considerable fame including Olafur Eliasson, Gilberto Zorio, Anne and Patrick Poirier, Fabrizio Plessi and Hidetoshi Nagasawa as well as young up-and-coming talents, winners of the first four editions of the International Targetti Light Art Prize.
