    Posthumanism in Art and Science (eBook, ePUB)
    Posthumanism synthesizes philosophical, literary, and artistic responses to technological advancements, globalization, and mass extinction in the Anthropocene. It asks what it can mean to be human in an increasingly more-than-human world that has lost faith in the ideal of humanism, the autonomous, rational subject, and it models generative alternatives cognizant of the demands of social and ecological justice. Amid rising social justice movements, collapsing economic structures, and the dwindling power of cultural institutions, posthumanism advances thinking on new and previously unenvisionable challenges.Posthumanism in Art and Science is an anthology of indispensable statements and artworks that provide an unprecedented mapping of this intellectual and aesthetic development in a global context. It features groundbreaking theorists including Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Mel Y. Chen, Michael Marder, Alexander Weheliye, Anna Tsing, Timothy Morton, N. Katherine Hayles, Bruno Latour, Francesca Ferrando, and Cary Wolfe, as well as innovative, influential artists and curators such as Yvonne Rainer, Skawennati, Chus Martínez, William Wegman, Nandipha Mntambo, Cassils, Pauline Oliveros, and Doo-sung Yoo. These provocative and compelling works, including previously unpublished interviews and essays, speak to the ongoing conceptual and political challenge of posthumanist thinking in a time of unprecedented cultural and environmental crises.An essential primer and reference for educators, students, artists, and art enthusiasts, this volume offers a powerful framework for rethinking anthropocentric certitudes and reenvisioning equitable and sustainable futures.

    Forever Saul Leiter
    A new collection of Saul Leiter's work, much of it published here for the first time.Saul Leiter remained relatively unsung until he was rediscovered by curators and critics in his early 80s, and his work has been drastically re-evaluated over the last two decades. Leiter's painterly images evoked the flow and rhythm of life on the mid-century streets of New York in luminous colour, at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in black and white. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. In recent years, Leiter has been in the spotlight more and more with a series of exhibitions and publications. His studio in New York's East Village, where he had lived since 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation. The foundation has begun a full-scale survey and organization of his more than 80,000 works, with the aim of compiling the 'complete' archive. This volume contains works discovered through this process, valuable documents that reveal the secrets of Saul Leiter's creation, unpublished works, popular colour works and black-and-white works that have not been published so far, as well as works that trace the memories of those closest to him taken in private. As Saul Leiter said, 'Photographs are often treated as capturing important moments, but they are really small fragments and memories of the world that never ends.' This is Forever Saul Leiter.

    Hilma af Klint
    A groundbreaking study of visionary artist Hilma af Klint. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than a thousand paintings and works on paper that she kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint's radically abstract painting practice - one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Accompanying the first major survey exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, Hilma af Klint represents her groundbreaking painting series while expanding recent scholarship to present the fullest picture yet of the artist's life and work. Essays explore the social, intellectual, and artistic milieu of af Klint's 1906 break with figuration and her subsequent development, placing her in the context of Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist and occult movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars, and curators considers af Klint's sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. The volume also delves into her unrealized plans for a spiral-shaped temple in which to display her art - a wish that finds a fortuitous answer in the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda, the site of the forthcoming exhibition.

    Experience the brilliant artist's lifelong obsession with nature and immersion in gardens, a bedrock of her hugely influential work.Yayoi Kusama s work is the product of an infinite curiosity and obsessive drive to create. Throughout the artist s long and varied career, there is one persistent yet little-studied through line her deep engagement with nature. From early sketches depicting flowers at her family s plant nursery in Japan, to her most recent monumental sculptures of botanical forms poised to take flight, Kusama consistently calls our attention to the patterns, connections, and cycles of living things that are not always visible.KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature is the accompanying catalogue to the first comprehensive exploration of the artist s enduring fascination with the natural world, exhibited across the 250-acre landscape of The New York Botanical Garden. The exhibition examines her lifelong awareness and attunement to nature, which serves not merely as a source of inspiration, but is an integral source of power for her artistic language.

Groarke, NYBG exhibitions curator, catalogue co-editors, bring together essays by art historians, curators, and a scientist, who each present unique interpretations of Kusama s engagement with the natural world. Featuring more than 120 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and archival photographs, including stunning views of the works displayed in NYBG s gardens and galleries, KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature offers a new perspective on one of the world s most celebrated contemporary artists.

    The Real and the Romantic
    A fresh look at a period of English art that has surged in interest and popularity in recent years, authored by one of Britain's leading art historians and critics.The 21st century has seen a surge of interest in English art of the interwar years. Women artists, such as Winifred Knights, Frances Hodgkins and Evelyn Dunbar, have come to the fore, while familiar names - Paul Nash, Eric Ravilious and Stanley Spencer - have reached new audiences. High-profile exhibitions have attracted recordbreaking visitor numbers and challenged received opinion. In The Real and the Romantic, Frances Spalding, one of Britain's leading art historians and critics, takes a fresh and timely look at this rich period in English art.The devastation of the First World War left the art world decentred and directionless. This book is about its recovery. Spalding explores how exciting new ideas co-existed with a desire for continuity and a renewed interest in the past. We see the challenge to English artists represented by Cézanne and Picasso, and the role played by museums and galleries in this period. Women artists, writers and curators contributed to the emergence of a new avant-garde. The English landscape was revisited in modern terms. The 1930s marked a high point in the history of modernism in Britain, but the mood darkened with the prospect of a return to war. The former advance towards abstraction and internationalism was replaced by a renewed concern with history, place, memory and a sense of belonging. Native traditions were revived in modern terms but in ways that also let in the past. Surrealism further disturbed the ascetic purity of high modernism and fed into the British love of the strange.Throughout these years, the pursuit of 'the real' was set against, and sometimes merged with, an inclination towards the 'romantic', as English artists sought to respond to their subjects and their times.

    Raqs Media Collective. Hungry for Time
    Raqs Media Collective wurde von der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien eingeladen, eine Ausstellung mit den Werken der kunsthistorischen Sammlung zu kuratieren. Das aus Indien stammende Kollektiv, das seine Arbeitsweise mit dem Begriff des "epistemischen Ungehorsams" umschreibt, hat Werke aus der Sammlung ausgewählt, um sie mit gegenwärtigen Positionen zu konfrontieren: Bosch, Dürer, Schiele werden zum Beispiel mit zeitgenössischen Arbeiten von Lakshmana Rao Kotturu, Farideh Lashai, Lavanya Mani kombiniert. Die kanonisierte Ordnung einer eurozentristischen Kunstsammlung gerät so in Bewegung und erlaubt einen anderen, dekolonialen Blick auf die präsentierten Werke. Die Publikation Hungry for Time übersetzt die gleichnamige Ausstellung ins Buch und versammelt als Erweiterung der Ausstellung künstlerische Beiträge von Discursive Justice Ensemble (Kabelo Malatsie, Michelle Wong, Lantian Xie), dem Künstlerinnen-Duo SPLICE (Rohini Devasher und Pallavi Paul), Moonis A. Shah, und Chow and Lin. Raqs Media Collective, gegründet 1992 in Neu Delhi, ist ein international tätiges Kurator·innentrio, bestehend aus Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula und Shuddhabrata Sengupta. Das Kollektiv arbeitet international und medienübergreifend. Ingeborg Erhart ist seit 2019 Vizerektorin für Kunst und Lehre an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien. Johan Frederik Hartle ist seit 2019 Rektor der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien.--Raqs Media Collective was invited by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to curate an exhibition of works drawn from the institute's historical art collection. The Indian-based collective, which uses the term "epistimic disobedience" to describe its way of working, has selected works from the collection which they then set against current positions, such that Bosch, Dürer, Schiele are combined, for example, with contemporary works by Lakshmana Rao Kotturu, Farideh Lashai, and Lavanya Mani. The canonized order of a Eurocentric art collection is thus moved from its fixed state, offering a different, decolonial angle on the works presented. The publication Hungry for Time translates the exhibition of the same name into book form and, as an extension of the exhibition, puts together artistic contributions from the Discursive Justice Ensemble (Kabelo Malatsie, Michelle Wong, Lantian Xie), the artist duo SPLICE (Rohini Devasher and Pallavi Paul), Moonis A. Shah, and Chow and Lin. Founded in New Delhi in 1992, Raqs Media Collective is made up of Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta, a trio of curators who are active on the global scene. The collective works internationally across different media. Ingeborg Erhart has been vice-rector for art and teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna since 2019. Johan Frederik Hartle has been rector of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna since 2019.
