Creation and Creativity in Medieval Art
Creation imagery in manuscripts made in the Middle Ages became a locus for visual experimentation as well as the expression of ideas about creativity. By examining representations of divine creation and illustrations of the creation stories in Genesis, this book links medieval ideas about creation, the characteristic of the Divine Creator, and the act of creation with themes in medieval thought about the work of medieval artists., Case studies from manuscripts illuminating the creation dating from the eleventh to the fourteenth century (Junius 11/The C疆dmon Manuscript, Roda Bible & Ripoll Bible, Bible moralis矇es, Hamburg Bible, Holkhalm Bible) reveal self-reflective moments; where medieval artists relate artistic invention and theological debates about creation. This book traces the artists' thinking in their own work and then contextualizes those visual cues within the context of philosophical arguments about the creation of the world. It also considers how Western medieval artists, in inventing original illuminations and experimenting with new representational modes, suggest potential analogies between their own work, God's acts of creation, and nature's generative force.
Festival Emblems
In early modern culture, civic festivals and emblem books were amongst the more privileged genres of Early Modern culture. Although both are connected in their use of word and image, they are nonetheless separated in their very essence. The former, a public event celebrated usually at night and involving, alongside ephemeral monuments, lights, fireworks, music, ceremonies, and theater performances, was for the spectator an all-encompassing experience. It was intended to propagate either the ruler or the city's political agenda. The latter was conceived as an intellectual pastime and intended to be read, deciphered, and discussed within the private sphere, in the company and studious ambiance of the literati. Emblems and festivals, nonetheless, maintained a kind of symbiotic exchange. Whereas public monuments of the triumphal entries found their way into the printed form of festival books, emblems migrated from their printed form into the public sphere, where they were used to adorn the ephemeral monuments of the triumphal entries. How then, do the practices of emblem reading, which require careful decryption of words and images, relate to the viewing practices of triumphal processions? The book examines this paradox and argues that the inclusion of emblems in festivals reveals the hermeneutic mechanism of the learned. By using emblems, the designers of civic festivals marked their territory within the power hierarchies and established their dignity and authority as experts in both the civic and intellectual circles. In the festival ambit, festival emblems epitomize the perfect paradoxical union of persuasion and erudition.

Sampling and Site-Specific Practice in Contemporary Art
In the early 20th century, copying, cutting and pasting entered the Western European avant-garde through collage and readymades, as artists employed found objects and ephemera to create new meaning from existing materials. This book explores how this practice has evolved in contemporary art today, looking at its important and distinct outcomes in the practice of artists such as Andrea Fraser, Douglas Gordon, Isaac Julien, Christian Marclay, Amie Siegel and Christopher Williams. It analyses the pivotal consequences of the interrelationships these artists establish between fragments of culture, from television and film, to internet culture and their artwork's site, where the verb to "sample" has become deeply tied to digital music editing, writing, image production, database searches and social media. Samples take many forms: quotations of other cultural works; replicas of other objects; reenactments of works by other artists; or fragments that are quite literally cut or removed from other works of art, design, or media. Via Bouman's analysis, we visualise the shared frameworks of meaning that underpin these multifaceted, multidimensional and medium-fluid works. Focussing on 'action' and 'form', the book discusses the relationship between the referent and reference, and the citational labor that any sample performs. The distributive sense of authorship that emerges places the audience in a new position of significance. Concepts and themes discussed include: queer and race theory, postproduction and mirroring, mobile site specificity, now-time and dragging, and gender fluidity and Drag King performance, centring sampling as a key form of 21st-century art. With novel insights into the conceptual, material, and aesthetic dimensions of sampling in contemporary culture, the book provides a new critical framework for understanding the complex implications of this practice, as a vital resource for researchers in contemporary art practice and visual culture.

Glitching the ’Machine Artist’
"a blueprint for critical resistance and aesthetic defiance in the face of digital capitalism and a rising new age" - Laila Shereen Sakr/ VJ Um Amel Fear of the 'machine artist' reflects a deep cultural anxiety about industrialization, shaped by unresolved conflicts over automation and its potential to supplant human artists. Automated machinery represents both a technical development and a social paradigm that redefines labor, authorship, and creativity itself.Glitching the 'Machine Artist' is neither utopian nor dystopian. It offers the first comprehensive theory connecting Glitch Art to its industrial foundations. By blending analysis, theory, and criticism, this book shows how debates over AI continue a centuries-long negotiation between human agency and automation. It links these generative technologies to the assembly line and industrialization while exploring their aesthetic influence on art. By analyzing how photography functioned as the original 'machine artist, ' this book explains why current fears about AI-generated art echo historical anxieties about objectivity, originality, and human agency. Glitch Art offers a unique vehicle to examine these entanglements. From eighteenth-century Romanticism through to analogue and digital media, artists have responded to technological innovation in three distinct ways: either by emphasizing the artist's handicraft, or in a metaphysical refusal of machinery, or in a formalist embrace of medium-specific 'purity.' The contemporary challenge is to develop strategies to understand, critique, and defy the power of technological change.As AI transforms our world, the future of human agency is in question. The problem for artists, technologists, and everyone concerned with human creativity lies with the links between aesthetics, innovation, and the role of the artist-challenging assumptions about expression versus randomness, originality versus reproduction, and human versus machine. Acknowledging these dynamics opens up the possibility for radical change, beyond merely asserting human agency, or surrendering to technological determinism.
DakotaChrome
What is DakotaChrome?What you are looking at is not a trick, or manipulation through software. As someone who began their photography pursuit in the general field of journalism, it is important that I can get images without having to drastically edit them. What you see is what I get, true to what comes directly out of my camera as I can.The light that we see exists on a spectrum. Most of our perceived colors lay in the middle of that spectrum, with the ends being imperceivable to us. To get my desired image, I have modified my camera to remove certain wavelengths of infrared light, leaving the reds and pinks that are reflected by the plants, paint and objects within the scene and still maintaining the 'normal' colors you are accustomed to. There are some things you would not expect to reflect this infrared light, but do, like the wood used for buildings and clothing.The images held within this book were taken with a digital infrared camera. This is achieved by changing sensor glass and utilizing a series of carefully selected color filters. It is modeled after Kodak's Aerochrome film, which had been developed for military applications but found its way into the civilian space. Similar to my digital version, they used filters to alter the colors that the film would show. Richard Mosse, whose work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is another great example of infrared photography with similar color results and is part of the inspiration for my pursuit in this field.
Art and Propaganda During Peronist Argentina
This book chronicles the history of the visual languages developed in Argentina during Peronism, exploring how art and propaganda interacted with and responded to their historical context. At the heart of this study is the term "intentional citations", a framework that advocates for the socio-cultural specificity of Latin American modernist art, in contrast to models that overly rely on European concepts of modernism and the avant-garde. Readers will discover how Argentinian artists cited European artworks to express particular ideas and goals, how Peronist propaganda employed various artistic traditions--including abstraction--for political purposes, and how ideologues rebranded Per籀n and Eva as a formidable ruling couple. This book also examines how the Peronist regime and artists competed for control of the cultural field. Despite their stark political differences, however, both factions pursued similar goals.

Selected Writings, Volume 2
Okwui Enwezor is widely regarded as a leader among the brilliant curators who emerged in the 1990s to set agendas for understanding the global expansiveness of contemporary art. Among his pathfinding exhibitions were the second Johannesburg Biennale (1997), the paradigm-shifting Documenta 11 (2002), Archive Fever (2008), and Postwar (2016). In addition to breaking ground as a curator, Enwezor was also a prolific critic, essayist, and theorist. Selected Writings--a landmark two-volume set--brings together Enwezor's most influential and foundational works. Spanning a quarter-century, these selections reflect the depth and breadth of Enwezor's writing and its role in his tireless efforts to decolonize the art world.

Drawn from exhibition catalogs, art journals, interviews with artists, art reviews, curatorial statements, historical studies, and book chapters, these texts show him striving to fulfil the second main ambition that drove his career: enabling a critical, diasporic imagining of postcoloniality that would become pervasive within global art discourse. Demonstrating that his writing helped fulfill this goal, this collection reaffirms Enwezor's status as a transformational figure in the global contemporary art world.

Time and the Everyday in Slow Cinema
Time and the Everyday in Slow Cinema examines the phenomenon of Slow cinema, a style defined by its lingering focus on quotidian activities and extended durations. Rosa Barotsi argues that while the style emerges from a tradition of durational filmmaking and resonates with movements advocating for deceleration, it is also deeply entangled in the structures of late capitalism, creating a dynamic tension between radicalism and conservatism. This book situates the trend between artistic innovation and institutional commodification, ultimately raising critical questions about spectatorship, cinematic time, and the politics of cultural value.
Out There in the Dark
Katharine Coldiron sees her life through a film projector. She watches The Sound of Music and observes that time is peculiarly preserved in a narrative film; she watches Singin' in the Rain and finds truth and falsehood layered in it like dental veneers; she watches Apocalypse Now and thinks about her father, and a certain Pulitzer-winning photograph of an American POW. Out There in the Dark is a dynamic collection of essays that blends film criticism with memoir and fiction, as well as lists, visual diagrams, and Wikipedia collaging. It plumbs deeply some of our most knotted, abstract concepts: truth, kindness, the West, the female body, war, and-inevitably-Hollywood.
