Artvoices Art Books American Royalty 39.55 GBP In the 1990s New York, the information Superhighway was a deer path through the vast woods.A time when Paparazzi wasn’t a bad word, and Agents, Managers and PR people would invite the photographers to their events in hopes that we would photograph their celebrity client to run in the gossip section of New York City's nightlife publications.I was a photographer in search of celebrities and had to speculate, guess, and make judgment calls about where and when they would make an appearance.I networked with Doormen, Groupies, Party Crashers, Chauffeurs, Editors, Writers, Business Owners, and Bartenders, and that was to receive information which was spotty at best.I knew that certain letters (CLS) on the license plate meant a celebrity car service as opposed to a regular black car.I knew the back doors of the Plaza hotel, the escalator in the rear of the Ritz Carlton, where the SNL cast would go for drinks after wrap, or when the guests arrived for the Letterman show, and the side door they would go through.After I captured the image the celebrity portrait was published in my column in Black Book magazine.The negatives, the leftover prints, or the slides went into a shoebox and a cardboard container and was forgotten.Life was good, then Princess Di happened, and we all had to stand behind a barrier and then the iPhone happened and now we are known as the paparazzi.Then the Twin Towers fell, and NYC went through a collective mourning.American Royalty is comprised of the images in the shoebox, all shot on film and with Celebrities who welcomed my lens and the attention.

Artvoices Art Books Did You Kiss A Cat Today??? : Poems For Children 17.78 GBP Did You Kiss A Cat Today??? was written by 3 poets who applied the skill and sophistication of how they write for older folks and applied it to how we write for younger folks.For one thing, they think children are very smart and have a very sly sense of humor.Sometimes, though, adults overlook this. They don’t, and they don’t talk down! They’ve tried to meet children on their level, a level they consider pretty high.Plus, they try not to be too preachy. Poetry is true and serious and fun, and that’s the magic they wanted to convey.This book is fresh and exhilarating because even though these poems come from three distinct sensibilities, they do, both individually and collectively, conjure a child’s world with its irrepressible freshness.Everything that happens can be the poem. The smallest thing; the largest thing. To tell a story is good. To tell just a piece of a story is good. In a poem, you don’t have to finish the story. Sometimes the middle of the story can be best! So, enjoy the poems!”

It brings together a collection of presentations given at FATAG conferences, case studies, research, new developments in theory, and explorations in the peculiarities of forensic arts therapies: art, music, drama, and dance.Therapists work with male and female offenders in detained in prisons or secure health care units, or sometimes with patients involved in probation or counselling services, victim support, and other services and institutions concerned with understanding the causes and effects of crime.The experiences described are often difficult, but also very rewarding for all involved. Arts therapy (in any of its forms) regularly has a profound and beneficial effect on the life of an offender. This thought-provoking and enlightening work gives an insight into how these skilled professionals have been a necessary part of UK forensic services for more than four decades.The Forensic Arts Therapies Advisory Group (FATAG) is a voluntary organisation which aims to provide support, advice and opportunities for continuing professional development for arts therapists working in forensic or secure settings and trainee arts therapists on clinical placement in forensics. FATAG provides a safe space to share difficult, complex and, at times, painful work not easily shared amongst a non-forensic audience.

OR Books The Activism Of Art : A Decentered Anthology 20.54 GBP A radical anthology shaking up the canon by bringing together perspectives on art and activism across eras and cultures. Thinkers, activists, and artists have long grappled with definitions of art, the role of activism, and the relationship between the two—answers that shift across historical and cultural frameworks.This anthology challenges and expands the canon by deliberately juxtaposing radically different conceptions of art and activism, bringing together thinkers from different eras, cultures, and geographies. Rather than including case studies or manifestos, the texts are organized thematically: Art Unsettles: Social Systems and Critique; Art Reveals: Making the Invisible Visible; Art Resists: Everyday Interventions; Art Acts: Activism as Art; Art (Re)Orders: Making Sense of the World; and Art Imagines: Envisioning New Worlds. Through this thematic structure, the anthology seeks to expand and decenter traditional canons.Each thematic section opens with a brief essay by the editors framing the central conceptual debates, inviting readers to engage with the tensions and possibilities at the intersection of art and politics.Among the writers included are: Gloria Anzaldúa, John Berger, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Octavia Butler, John Dewey, W.E.B.Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, Safdar Hashmi, bell hooks, Juan López Intzín, Audre Lorde, Herbert Marcuse, Jacques Rancière, and Ngugi wa Thiong’o.

Here, In Her Shoes: Women of the Eighth reproduces thirty-two of those anonymous stories, representing the entire island of Ireland.Published with their authors’ consent and illustrated by Erin, they are powerful testimonies to storytelling as salvation from heartache, stigma and threat.Together, they record lived truthspreviously omitted from history and signal a monumental change in the social landscape of our country.

Seagull Books London Ltd Feminism In Revolt – An Anthology 22.38 GBP A comprehensive collection of texts from the most influential and iconic figure of Italian second-wave feminism. Recently rediscovered in Italy and abroad, the works of Carla Lonzi tend to fall under the remit of art history or feminist theory.Art historians focus on the texts written in the 1960s, when Lonzi was still actively working as a critic, whereas feminist scholars engage with her more openly political interventions, published after her declared embrace of a separatist feminism.In 1970 Lonzi decided to leave the art world for good and dedicate herself to her newly founded feminist collective, Rivolta Femminile.While recognizing the break in Lonzi’s life and work, this anthology maps the overall arc of her intellectual and political production, giving equal weight to her seminal contributions to art criticism and her trailblazing feminist writings.A comprehensive collection of texts from the most influential and iconic figure of Italian second-wave feminism, Feminism in Revolt seeks to shed light on Lonzi’s versatile approach to literary genres and compositions by juxtaposing essayistic texts, poems, diary excerpts, and manifestos.

Published in 1961, Gwen Moffat’s Space Below My Feet tells the story of a woman who shirked the conventions of society and chose to live a life in the mountains.Some years later in 1977, Nan Shepherd published The Living Mountain, her prose bringing each contour of the Cairngorm mountains to life.These pioneering women set a precedent for a way of writing about wilderness that isn’t about conquering landscapes, reaching higher, harder or faster, but instead about living and breathing alongside them, becoming part of a larger adventure. The artists in this inspired collection continue Gwen and Nan’s legacies, redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature.Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a col, the touch of cool rock against skin, and most importantly a taste of restoring mind, body and spirit to a former equanimity. With contributions from adventurers including Alpinist magazine editor Katie Ives, multi-award-winning author Bernadette McDonald, adventurers Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff, renowned filmmaker Jen Randall and many more, Waymaking is an inspiring and pivotal work published in an era when wilderness conservation and gender equality are at the fore.

Prototype Publishing Ltd. Intertitles : An Anthology At The Intersection Of Writing & Visual Art 17.79 GBP Intertitles is an anthology of work situated at the intersection of writing and the visual arts.The anthology aims to explore their confluence and is conceived in response to a twofold observation: the increased presence of written, spoken and performed language in the work of visual artists and the simultaneous increase in visibility and circulation of the work and voices of writers in the visual arts arena. Bringing together a substantial and significant collection of work, the anthology recognises that both writers and artists are attracted to the possibilities of language as a material.Through essays, performance texts, scores, poetry and more, Intertitles plots a course through contemporary writing practices and lends perspective to the question of why this might be of particular interest at this moment in time. In art as in poetry, meaning is made in the very conditions of the encounter itself.The knowledge produced is not instructive or strictly informational but subjective and relational.Artists build the worlds that viewers may inhabit temporarily in the moment of their becoming.The physicality of these temporary utopias, however, is frequently realised in the contested spaces of our museums and galleries.This anthology asks if poetry, and the world it is capable of building outside of these normative structures, is poised to be the most constitutive form of all.Putting poetry into the social milieu, as a shared goal of artists and writers, might be understood as a gesture towards a truly radical reimagining.

Duke University Press Nuyorican And Diasporican Visual Art : A Critical Anthology 25.75 GBP Although Puerto Rican artists have always been central figures in contemporary American and international art worlds, they have largely gone unrecognized and been excluded from art history canons.Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art provides a critical survey of Puerto Rican art production in the United States from the 1960s to the present.The contributors assert the importance and contemporaneity of the Nuyorican art movement by tracing its emergence alongside other American vanguardist movements, highlighting its innovations, and exploring it as an expression of Puerto Rican culture beyond New York to include cities such as Chicago, Philadelphia, and Orlando.They also foreground the contributions and radical aesthetics of female, Black, and queer Puerto Rican artists.Following the expansion and decentralization of the Puerto Rican diaspora and its artistic output, this volume is a call to action for scholars, curators, and artists to address the historical inequalities that have marginalized Diasporican artists and reassess the presence of Puerto Rican artists.

Why, how, and where did it originate, and how have its methods changed over time?The history of art has been written and rewritten since classical antiquity.Since the foundation of the modern discipline of art history in Germany in the late eighteenth century, debates about art and its histories have intensified.Historians, philosophers, psychologists, and anthropologists among others have changed our notions of what art history has been, is, and might be.This anthology is a guide to understanding art history through critical reading of the field's most innovative and influential texts, focusing on the past two centuries.Each section focuses on a key issue: art as history; aesthetics; form, content, and style; anthropology; meaning and interpretation; authorship and identity; and the phenomenon of globalization.More than thirty readings from writers as diverse as Winckelmann, Kant, Mary Kelly, and Michel Foucault are brought together, with editorial introductions to each topic providing background information, bibliographies, and critical elucidations of the issues at stake.This updated and expanded edition contains sixteen newly included extracts from key thinkers in the history of art, from Giorgio Vasari to Walter Benjamin and Satya Mohanty; a new section on globalization; and also a new concluding essay from Donald Preziosi on the tasks of the art historian today.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Art In Theory : The West In The World - An Anthology Of Changing Ideas 32.15 GBP A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series, offering an examination of the changing relationships between the West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to the art and material culture of the wider world.Editors Paul Wood and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key themes appropriate to each historical era.The majority of the texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly, as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops.Over half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though the book’s unique selling point is the way it relates the modern globalization of art to much longer cultural histories. As well as the anthologized material, Art in Theory: The West in the World contains: A general introduction discussing the scope of the collectionIntroductory essays to each of the eight parts, outlining the main themes in their historical contextsIndividual introductions to each text, explaining how they relate to the wider theoretical and political currents of their time Intended for a wide audience, the book is essential reading for students on courses in art and art history.It will also be useful to specialists in the field of art history and readers with a general interest in the culture and politics of the modern world.
