Anish Kapoor: Between Painting and Sculpture: Cv/Visual Arts Research, Book 232, Hörbuch, Digital, 16min

A recorded visit to an exhibition by Anish Kapoor at the Lisson Gallery, London continued to 22nd June, 2019. Includes descriptions of works and bio-dara of the artist. In the rear ground floor space of the gallery a suite of new paintings, completed at the end of 2018. Each canvas is 274 cms tall by 213 cms wide. The colour range is restricted and highly pitched, a distinctly abstract expressionist handling with sweeping brush and hand work. An aggressive and confrontational approach infuses a violently striated surface. A basic pink shape, in some like sagging flesh or an upturned vessel is worked with smeared white strokes, then corrupted by slashed veins of blood red and pitch black, scarring the lower part of the canvases. The hand work introduces an element of unleashed energy on the white ground, in a scheme of unleashed emotion. It is violently expressive, chaotic and turbulent. The painting ‘Teeth’ 2018 resembles a tip tilted jug spewing corrupted matter. These recent paintings progress of the artist’s constant preoccupation with the life force of the body. Previously viewed in the giant ‘Leviathan’; a maroon inflatable of spectacular dimension installed in Monumenta 2011 at the Grand Palais Paris. Here visitors walked inside the heart shaped cavern, encountering receding passages of valves and vents. Kapoor has never resisted dynamic scale for maximum resonance of effect. Language: English.

Modern Bodies: Dance and American Modernism from Martha Graham to Alvin Ailey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min

In 1930, dancer and choreographer Martha Graham proclaimed the arrival of "dance as an art of and from America". Dancers such as Doris Humphrey, Ted Shawn, Katherine Dunham, and Helen Tamiris joined Graham in creating a new form of dance, and, like other modernists, they experimented with and argued over their aesthetic innovations, to which they assigned great meaning. Their innovations, however, went beyond aesthetics. While modern dancers devised new ways of moving bodies in accordance with many modernist principles, their artistry was indelibly shaped by their place in society. Modern dance was distinct from other artistic genres in terms of the people it attracted: white women (many of whom were Jewish), gay men, and African American men and women. Women held leading roles in the development of modern dance on stage and off; gay men recast the effeminacy often associated with dance into a hardened, heroic, American athleticism; and African Americans contributed elements of social, African, and Caribbean dance, even as their undervalued role defined the limits of modern dancers' communal visions. Through their art, modern dancers challenged conventional roles and images of gender, sexuality, race, class, and regionalism with a view of American democracy that was confrontational and participatory, authorial and populist. The book is published by University of North Carolina Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Celeste Lawson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/redw/000089/bk_redw_000089_sample.mp3.

Terror of a New Age: A Vivid Glimpse at the State of Humanity in a New Millennium , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min

This book is a veritable and gripping snapshot of the opening half decade of the 21st century. From this perspective of the multifaceted social world, it is crucial to bear in mind that it was written from a type of historical and panoramic bird's-eye view in 2006. As telling as it is arousing, it leaves in its wake compelling implications for the future.If ever there was an age of instability, 'tis now. The rise in global artillery, international, confrontational issues, the tumultuous pre-2001 era, the endless peace negotiations between Jews and Muslims, the unrelenting tumult between tribes and nations of earth, the aftershock of hideous tragedies, and heightened secularism all seem to be steering the tide toward a godless future.All these altercations and grievances are also fueled by bigotry, prejudice, political cataclysms, and fatal tensions all over the world. When does it end or at least begin to slow down? To top it off, the ideologies of naturalism, macroevolution, and humanism have besieged social consciousness. What does it all mean?On this journey, we take a look inside the restless conditions that have set the stage for the beginning of the 21st century and beyond. Let the soul-searching begin, as we reflect on our individual parts in the unfolding global drama. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellen Dessler Smith.

Days of Refugee: One of the World’s Known Lost Boys of Sudan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min

In 1987, Nathaniel Nyok, tormented by thoughts of missing parents and siblings, fled a bloody scene and a burning village in Sudan. Wishing to live at any cost and driven by a confrontational heart-pounding fear, he journeyed through the wild to seek sanctuary in Ethiopia. At eight, he had just capitulated to an orphan-like life with a new title, A Lost Boy of Sudan, living in a refugee camp for 14 years without a family and a future. The refugee camp became a cage that was too confining, and he languished with a sense of loss. As he battled the loss of home and family, he chose education over revenge as the road to freedom, a road that eventually brought him to America, land of freedom and rules, welcomes and prejudices. In a turning point of surreptitious blessing, grilled by United States immigration lawyers and medical experts in a two-year vetting process of interviews and medical evaluations, he was offered an approval letter, becoming one of a few Lost Boys admitted to the United States. In 2001, he resettled in Atlanta, Georgia, in a community that welcomed him, a stranger, with both joy and contempt. This story portrays his transition to American culture - from the stylishness and glam of Hollywood to battling the prejudices of his new community - as a time of both confusion and hope. ungekürzt.

Join over 7,000 men who traveled to Atlanta from all over the country to demonstrate their intense desire to be healed, whole, and restored to their rightful place in God. You can now experience that same anointing as Bishop T.D. Jakes challenges and charges the minds of men to arise and come forward in Manpower 2: Tonight We Wrestle. At last, God raises up a word that turns the hearts of the fathers to the sons as young men and old men wept and worshipped together, while black men and white men prayed for one another.
