Medium Hot
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE IMAGE IN THE AGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE? Hito Steyerl is one of the most celebrated artists of our time. Her work, both as an artist and a writer, has consistently challenged the political boundaries between art and technol­ogy. In this new collection of groundbreaking essays, she explores how AI, the use of large language models and the algorithmic creation of imagery transform our understanding of the world. She argues that such practices cannot be divorced from the economic and political conditions of the times. Medium Hot is a collection of scintillating meditations on the limits of art and technol­ogy: the essential handbook for the present conjuncture. The pieces here probe the man­ufacture and distribution of images in the age of AI and climate change. She asks whether art can be made not only by machines but for machines. She argues against the production of images that heat up the planet, disfranchise workers and fuel the arms trade, and questions whether such creations can even be called art. In an era of such rapid change, Steyerl does vital work investigating whether machine learning will infiltrate every aspect of our lives and what that means for the future.

Vom Barock Zum Fr羹hklassizismus (1670-1770)
F羹r die Geschichte der Kunst des 繹stlichen Mitteleuropas fehlen bislang Darstellungen, die den Raum von Baltikum bis zu Adria als zusammenh瓣ngende Geschichtsregion begreifen. Das am GWZO Leipzig projektierte Handbuch stellt somit das erste kunsthistorische Werk dar, das sich dem gemeinsamen kulturellen Erbe der V繹lker dieser Region widmet und in europ瓣ischer Perspektive diskutiert. Die Buchreihe ist dabei nicht allein f羹r das Fachpublikum konzipiert, sondern soll vor allem auch dazu dienen, den aktuellen Forschungsstand nach au?en zu tragen und einer breiteren ?ffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. Der Konzeption der gesamten Reihe liegen gemeinsame methodische Leitlinien zugrunde, insbesondere der dynamische Begriff des Kulturtransfers, der die kulturhistorischen Prozesse zwischen den einzelnen gesellschaftlichen und ethnischen Gruppen des ostmitteleurop瓣ischen Raums am besten beschreiben kann. Im Fokus stehen damit die Funktion der Kunstwerke und ihre historische Bedingtheit, ihre lokale Verwurzelung ebenso wie die interregionale Verflechtung. Dem wird man am ehesten gerecht, wenn man Vermittlungswege und -akteure im Einzelnen nachvollzieht. Die Achsen des Kulturtransfers, das hei?t insbesondere die sich stets wandelnden politisch-kulturellen Beziehungen der Metropolen und Zentren, bildeten das Grundger羹st f羹r die Umrisse des Darstellungsgebiets. Es umfasst die historischen L瓣nder Polens, Litauens, Ungarns, B繹hmens und die 繹stlichen Teile des Heiligen R繹mischen Reichs Deutscher Nation, kurz: die neuen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten Polen, Litauen, Lettland, Estland, die Tschechische und die Slowakische Republik, Ungarn, Slowenien und Rum瓣nien sowie die 繹stlichen Teile Deutschlands und ?sterreichs, dazu die benachbarten Regionen in Wei?russland, der Ukraine, Kroatien, Serbien usf.

Mitteilungen Zur Spatantiken Archaologie Und Byzantinischen Kunstgeschichte
English summary: The articles in this volume seek to shed new light on frequently overlooked archaisms and acts of spoliation. This book is about ideas, style, and material objects, their reuse and repurposing in the Eastern Roman Empire and after its end in 1453. In the absence of textual evidence, art historians and archaeologists often rely on dating artifacts based on an assumed linear development of artistic styles, visual or paleographic forms. This modern predisposition has long hampered our understanding of how people used and referenced the past through stylistic and material spoliation. The long-standing interest of art historians and archaeologists in spolia resonates with and informs the more recent scholarly focus on cultural heritage. At their core, both spolia and heritage are about acts and processes of the transformation of material and meaning. Cultural heritage studies do not ask what something signified at the moment of inception, but rather how objects and ideas were reshaped, reused, and reinterpreted over time. Spolia - reused and reworked fragments from the past - are material expressions of these same categories and manifestations of transformations over time. Both spolia and heritage trace how the relationship between the past and the present was continually negotiated, how the past was used. German description: Dieses Buch handelt von Ideen, Stil und materiellen Objekten, ihrer Wiederverwendung und Umfunktionierung im Ostromischen Reich und nach dessen Ende im Jahr 1453. In Ermangelung schriftlicher Zeugnisse datieren Kunsthistoriker: innen und Archaolog: innen Artefakte haufig, indem eine zielgerichtete, lineare Entwicklung kunstlerischer Stile, visueller oder palaografischer Formen vorausgesetzt wird. Doch dieses Vorgehen verschleiert Ruckgriffe und Wiederverwendungen und hat lange Zeit unser Verstandnis davon behindert, wie Menschen die Vergangenheit benutzt und referenziert haben. Daher nehmen die Beitrage in diesem Band die von der Wissenschaft haufig ubersehenen Archaismen und Spoliierungsprozesse in den Blick. Das langjahrige Interesse der Kunstgeschichte und Archaologie an Spolien besteht bisher losgelost von aktuellen Kulturerbedebatten in den Geisteswissenschaften. Doch im Kern geht es sowohl bei Spolien als auch beim Kulturerbe um Handlungen und Prozesse der Transformation von Materie und Bedeutung. Kulturerbestudien fragen nicht, was etwas zum Zeitpunkt seiner Entstehung bedeutete, sondern wie Objekte und Ideen im Laufe der Zeit umgestaltet, wiederverwendet und neu interpretiert wurden. Spolien - wiederverwendete und uberarbeitete Fragmente aus der Vergangenheit - sind materielle Ausdrucksformen derselben Kategorien und Manifestationen von Veranderungen im Laufe der Zeit. Sowohl Spolien als auch Kulturerbe zeigen, wie die Beziehung zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart kontinuierlich ausgehandelt wurde, wie die Vergangenheit genutzt wurde.

Wayne Thiebaud
This catalogue accompanies the first UK show of Wayne Thiebaud's quintessentially postwar American paintings Wayne Thiebaud is considered one of the greatest and most original American artists of the 20th century. This publication accompanies the first museum show of his work in the United Kingdom. Throughout his long life, working mainly in Sacramento, California, Thiebaud developed a unique style of painting to express his vision of modern American subjects. This publication will present Thiebaud's remarkable, vibrant and lushly painted still lives of quintessentially post-war American subjects, from diner food and deli counters to gumball dispensers and pinball machines. These are the paintings that established Thiebaud's name in the USA in the early 1960s. Thiebaud considered the everyday objects of American life to be a vital subject for contemporary art, and he saw his work as continuing the radical legacy of earlier still-life paintings by Chardin, Manet, Cezanne and others. Thiebaud believed in the importance of commonplace objects that might otherwise be overlooked or considered kitsch. His work turns hot dogs, lemon meringue pies and glossy cream cakes into the stuff of profound modern painting.

Plenty for All
Rick Fr繹berg was an accomplished artist and musician born in Southern California who spent most of his early creative years in San Diego before moving to New York, and then back to San Diego toward the end of his life. While juggling both of his creative outlets, he established a meaningful, urgent, vital, and powerful platform. Plenty for All: The Art of Rick Fr繹berg represents the many chapters and layers of his visual art practice. All of the different bodies of work he made are examined in detail--presenting the viewer with a well-rounded survey of his life's work, mostly in chronological order. One of the most compelling and fascinating aspects of this volume is the physical progression of Fr繹berg's line work and brushstroke, and his eventual adaptation to digital means. His artwork was often featured on the record covers of his own bands, as well as other groups he met on the road, and much of his early work also appeared on posters, flyers, ads, skateboard graphics, logos, and T-shirt designs, before eventually progressing to illustrations in magazines, books, and newspapers. Fr繹berg's paintings, drawings, etchings, and prints were also shown at art exhibitions throughout his career. Plenty for All is the first look at his visual artwork in book form. It will be of great interest across the globe to his many fans (he played in a range of popular bands, including Pitchfork, Drive like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and Obits). Fr繹berg's work has become very influential, and an inspiration to quite a large group of people in both the art and music worlds. He is sadly missed and mourned, but this volume will no doubt further his creative legacy. It includes short essays by curator Rich Jacobs and musician/artist Sohrab Habibion.
Art for All. Impressionists
This inspiring collection covers the work, the lives, and the enduring impact of five key Impressionists, in one volume that's a primer and a celebration of probably the most popular artistic genre of all time. Each featured artist broke boundaries in different ways, astounding late 19th-century society with their boldness of vision and technique.Edgar Degas explored movement and the human form with masterly style and innovative compositions, most famously of dancers, racehorses, and busy streetscapes. Claude Monet was a maestro of light and atmosphere, capturing the fleeting moment with his iconic water lilies and series paintings. Pierre-Auguste Renoir celebrated beauty and sensuality, bringing vibrancy to everyday scenes with lush brushwork and a radiant palette. Paul Gauguin sought inspiration in the exotic, using bold colors and symbolism, often to unsettling effect. Finally, Vincent van Gogh's highly emotive use of color and vigorous brushstrokes conveyed his private turmoil and did much to lay the groundwork for Expressionism.Together, these five creative masters redefined what art dared to achieve, emphasizing personal expression alongside their exploration of light, color, and perspective. Their output marked a pivotal shift to modern artistic freedoms and expectations.This collection looks beyond their most famous works and includes an extensive text on each artist's oeuvre, alongside a detailed biography and more than 400 high-quality color illustrations.

Science Fiction Against the Margins
Explores independently produced media that uses science fiction to address societal and political issuesToday the genre of science fiction is widely associated with big-budget American films featuring space invaders and lab-made monsters. Outside of mainstream media, however, science fiction is often employed for political allegory, exploration of identity, and critiques of societal hierarchies and norms by diasporic, Indigenous, and independent filmmakers around the world. Science Fiction against the Margins is a compilation of fifteen essays by scholars and filmmakers that focus on B movies, television programs, independent productions, and experimental film, video, and media installations. Addressing four thematic areas--Outer Space/Out of Space, Imagining Violent Worlds, Remembering the Future, and Crossing Borders and Time--the authors examine nontraditional science fiction films for their potential to theorize social change.

Hiroshige
A celebration of one of Japan's most talented, prolific, and popular artists Over a career spanning four decades, the prolific Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced thousands of landscape and nature prints, hundreds of paintings commissioned by the samurai elite, and many illustrated books. His work appealed to every stratum of society. While some of his landscape prints, such as Kanbara- Evening Snow and Sudden Shower over Ōhashi and Atake, are well-known examples of Japanese art, the full range of his output is less familiar. Hiroshige came from a samurai family, but he crossed social boundaries and devoted himself to depicting popular customs and the world around him. His work is distinguished by an air of gentle grace and decorum, perhaps arising partly from his steady temperament. His calm artistic vision sustained his contemporaries through the uncertainties of daily life and changing times. A great colorist, he stands out for discovering a subtle lyricism in the experience of travel and a bond between people and the natural world. Featuring highlights from leading private collections of Hiroshige prints alongside works by Hiroshige and other artists from the British Museum's outstanding collection of Japanese art and from other major collections, this lavishly illustrated new publication celebrates one of the world's most accomplished artists.
