Constructing Radiance
A celebrated artist in China and the US, Li Hongwei is known for his artistic, conceptual, and technical fusion of the past and present in innovative works that combine classical Chinese ceramics and the tenets of Western modernism. Constructing Radiance is the companion to Hongwei's 2024 exhibition at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum at Alfred University. Sculpture, a product of constructing forms in three-dimensional space, is embedded in the history of human endeavor and is often associated with a search for meaning. Radiance is an ephemeral condition, a reflection of light or a rare luminosity. Radiance often suggests an exquisite harmony as universals underlying reality unite in timeless balance. These words which contextualize the exhibition suggest a framework for contemplating the ever-expanding achievement of sculptor Li Hongwei.

From Darkness Into Light
This journey began with a simple desire to connect with fellow film photographers. What started as a casual meet-up soon blossomed into a regular gathering where we shared skills and tips on getting the best out of our film cameras, whether they were 35mm, medium-format, 110, folding, rangefinder, or single-lens reflex. From the luxurious Leicas to the charmingly affordable Prakticas, every camera produced stunning photographs-once the light leaks were fixed and the focus was spot on.But it wasn't just about the technicalities; it was about forming conversations and creating a dialogue around our shared passion.Over the past year, a diverse group of photographers found themselves exploring cities, parks, train stations, and woodlands, all in pursuit of bringing their subjects from darkness into light. Our challenges were reviewed in a WhatsApp chat, where we critiqued each other's work while always offering encouragement. Those who were timid at the start have grown into confident artists, deeply passionate about their craft. Regardless of age, we have all learned from one another and found motivation to create more.This book, featuring 124 photographs from 12 photographers, is a visual essay of that journey. For some, it may feel like a spiritual experience; for others, it's the joy of using old technology with its four simple features: film sensitivity, iris, shutter, and focus. Through a mix of calculated precision and serendipitous guesswork, we've crafted this collection of photography.

Art, Politics, and Palace Eunuchs in Ming China, 1368-1644
This is the first in-depth analysis of the place of the Ming palace eunuchs in the social history of Chinese art, examining the intricate intersections of art, politics, and palace eunuchs in the Ming dynasty.In addition to articulating the elite eunuchs' roles as important power brokers in the political arena, this monograph offers a balanced view of Ming eunuchs, with evidence of their accomplishments as book authors, editors, and compilers, poets, calligraphers, and art collectors, the Confucian scholars' typical literati pursuits. By exploring both the positive and negative roles that palace eunuchs played in the Ming's visual culture, this book reveals that Ming palace eunuchs, as supervisors of both the imperial art collection and the imperial art academy, and as powerful art collectors themselves, made various significant impacts on the contemporary art criticism, art market, and art-collecting patterns.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Sinology, and Chinese studies.
After Caliban
In After Caliban, Erica Moiah James examines the rise of global Caribbean artists in the 1990s and their production of a decolonized art history for the Caribbean. She draws on Aim矇 C矇saire's rewriting of Shakespeare's The Tempest, in which Caliban becomes the sole author of his own story, dissolving his fixed position as colonized in relation to Prospero as colonizer. James shows how visual artists such as Marc Latamie, Janine Antoni, Belkis Ay籀n, Edouard Duval-Carri矇, and Christopher Cozier followed C矇saire's model by employing a range of practices and methodologies that refused marginalization. Just as C矇saire decolonized The Tempest, so too did these artists, who crafted a decolonial aesthetic that redefined their own cultural and historical narratives and positioned art as a key pathway toward a postcolonial future. By providing the foundation for a postcolonial, post-Caliban art world, these artists redefined the critical and popular notion of contemporary Caribbean art. At the same time, James argues, they fulfilled C矇saire's dream for a postcolonial Caribbean while creating a nonhegemonic art historical practice that exists beyond modern binaries and borders.

Notes of Ingress
(This edition does not include the original artwork.) Notes of Ingress is a mesmerizing and deeply mysterious work that eludes ordinary classification. Is it a book? Not in the traditional sense. A living threshold is what it is; a collaboration between the living and the dead, scribed by Cain Helsson through the voices of spirit-possessed mediums. Its structure is deliberately disorienting, weaving together overlapping voices, contradictions, and harmonies. Indeed, if one were to describe it periphrastically, it could be said to mirror-both in its nature and in the reader's experience of it-the chaotic and multifaceted world of spirit contact.The foreword of the book, written by Arthur Veil, sets the tone with a warning: this is not a work for the curious or casual reader. It is meant for initiates-those who already stand within or just beyond the "circle of initiatory fire." The prose is rich and archaic, and I imagine it would work even better as a read-aloud. Its rhythms echo the ancient cadences of grimoires or esoteric manuscripts. The content is spiritual and a bit surreal, with a narrative that bounces around to the various parts of the personality, like a film that jump cuts between parallel storylines.One of the most striking aspects of Notes of Ingress is its authenticity. The voices of the spirits-whether they are the dead, the never-born, or figures like Lucifer-feel palpable and immediate. The book's visual elements, crafted under the guidance of Lucifer himself by illustrators like Fares Kaze, are not mere decorations but transmissions in their own right, adding another dimension to the work. The interplay between text and imagery creates a holistic experience that transcends the written word.The book thematically investigates the transitional spaces that exist between life and death, between what is seen and what is unseen. The practices it describes-like shape-leaping, night-sitting, and spirit possession-are rooted in ancient traditions yet feel fully relevant today. Of note is a section detailing the Benandanti, a secret society of spirit-warriors who do battle with witches in dreamlike realms. Its description of the Benandanti's rituals and initiations and of the Lombard's gift of witch-fire is so vivid that it renders the realm of the mythical undifferentiated from that of the real.Still, Notes of Ingress poses challenges to readers. With its non-linear narrative and multiple intersecting voices, the text can feel a bit like a maze. And let's face it: the old-timey language isn't going to appeal to everyone. But these features are very much the book's design. Like any good ghost story, Ingress wants to unsettle, to make you confront the dark and the unknown.To sum up, Notes of Ingress is a profound and disturbing esoteric work of literature. It is a mirror, a blade, a maze, and a key-all at once. For those who are ready to traverse its shadowy pages, it offers not only understanding but also transformation. Cain Helsson and the spirits who guided this work have crafted something truly unique: a book that is not only read but also lived through, a doorway to places beyond the veil.

Modern Japanese Painting Techniques
This book makes it easy to create and admire wonderful Japanese-style paintings and portraits!

Author Shinichi Fukui introduces readers to 7 notable modern Japanese artists (Kazuo Kawakami, Chiaki Takasugi, Miho Tanaka, Ryohei Nishiyama, Jose Franky, Ryohei Murata, and Keiji Yano) who specialize in shin hanga-style portraiture of Japanese women.
