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. Volume 2, Curating the Postcolonial Condition, includes seventeen essays written between 2006 and 2019. 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.

Jutten
- Mudlarking along the river Scheldt, Antwerp- Contemporary art using photography to present the project in book form- Jutten is the Dutch word for beachcombingMudlarking' is the act of searching the riverbed for historical treasures. Mudlarks comb the river's foreshore, which is only accessible for a few hours a day at low tide, in their hunt for objects, untouched since they were lost hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Jutten is about men in boots mudlarking the bank of the Scheldt river in Antwerp, in search of shards of the past, the larking, the scouring, the scavenging. One tea towel after another filled with coins, marbles, pipes. "Finds have a strange hold over us. There's a magic to them that shines on a lot longer than the soon fading glimmer of things we intentionally choose. That purposefulness is probably what kills our enthusiasm after a week or so. Because when we make a choice, there's too much of ourselves in the object already. We don't deem a consciously picked item deserving of a tea towel display. The more trash we've dug through to get to our treasure, the more it becomes. Hence the mud-crusted trouvailles. So we go hunting for crap that's out of place. Crap that becomes a find, simply because it was lost." - extract from a text by Annelies Desmet & Jill Mathieu

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.
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.

Legends of Love
Following his previous three mystical poetry books, Ronnie Smith has composed his fourth mystical adventure on the Angelic Kingdom. These poetic revelations with substantive narrative to explain the workings of the Angelic brotherhood, along with illustrations and poetry, celebrate the angels and are inspired by the beauty, wisdom, and selfless service to humanity of the Angelic Hierarchy. This divine brotherhood, known since the dawn of Christianity and before, are often thought to be out of reach. They are within reach! They build and bind with us to form a divine interdependency of God's making, the Architect of the Cosmos as we know it. No matter what spiritual path of Christianity one is on-devotion, wisdom, meditation, or service--The Angelic Kingdom with its manifold ranks of divine helpers, is able to assist us on this road that all must tread to grow in spiritual union with the Godhead. There has always been a veil between the two divine-in-origin races, human and angel. But it is possible to receive insights from the angels who stand ready to help us along the way. This book also offers the perceptions to understand the purpose of the Angelic Hierarchy as they build and conduct the multifaceted divine plan of God in their own evolution intertwined with the human race.

An Enchantment Overlooked
Looking at Andrea Mantegna s Parnassus in the Louvre, one might ask: Why does criticism point to Mercury instead of Perseus as the character holding the reins of the horse? Why does Pegasus have a precious breastplate and a curious goat beard? Who, really, is that delightful couple who dominates the scene below and what does it represent? The author tackles these and countless other questions with compelling arguments, grounded in a painstaking examination of classical tradition and mythology. The result is that Mantegna s work is fully restored to us in its historical context and in all its cultural and moral values values that, unfortunately, are often underestimated or even silenced by a largely aesthetic criticism, aimed at highlighting shape, structure, colour, etc., instead of emphasising the iconographic and symbolic aspects of the images. The author also takes on such Renaissance masterpieces as Botticelli s Primavera, Bronzino s Allegory of the Triumph of Venus and Caravaggio s Amor Vincit Omnia. Readers will find themselves drawn into the author s passionate and thorough research, eager to share his exciting discoveries.

The Black Curator
The Black Curator highlights the role that Black curators have long played in advocating for black artists and social changes and argues that they made a significant contribution to the democratization of museums over the last 150 years.Drawing on oral testimonies and archival research, this book examines how black curatorial activist practices emerged as a social and imaginative response to racism across various museum contexts. Exploring the work of black curators at three different museums, Benyehudah traces a lineage from black curators in the 19th century to those currently working in curatorial roles. Analysis of these case studies and the use of ideas from museum studies, critical race theory, and art history also enable the author to demonstrate how black curatorial practice was and is distinct from Eurocentric forms of curating black art. Explaining that the black curatorial lens was used in the process of establishing counter-archives, the author also demonstrates that it has played - and continues to play - a vital role in the decolonization of museums.Offering compelling ways to look at the relationship between black curators and legacies of colonialism in museums, The Black Curator will be essential reading for scholars, students, and museum practitioners.

Somewhere Between Art History and Phenomenology
Michael Ann Holly is fascinated by a silent route rarely chosen in the historical and critical history of art: the poetic possibility of phenomenology. Selecting early modern paintings by Bellini, Patinir, D羹rer, Rembrandt, Aertsen, Breughel, and Sassetta, she imagines what a range of classical phenomenologists in the twentieth century might quietly contribute to the understanding of these canonical works of art. This special brand of philosophy dares to think about what is whispered, hidden, concealed or veiled by a prosaic exchange with objects and images. The shift today from epistemology to ontology has resulted in a renewed attention to the animacy of objects. Through this (re)reading, and often offering a very personal account, she asks - how might we construe art history differently by intimating the magic of painting, the silence and wonder beneath words? Michael Ann Holly is Starr Director Emerita of the Research and Academic Program at the Clark Art Institute.

Greenland in Art Enchanted
This volume presents the work of various artists that have visited the enchanted frozen island of Greenland and caught its charms. They have mostly been visiting or living here for a period in connection with their work or simply because they have been smitten by the lore of this alluring ice wonder.Many of the artists have been associated with Denmark, which has ruled Greenland for many centuries - actually getting a stake here via the Norse - Erik the Red in 953 AD - when Norway and Denmark became united in the Middle Ages.They had a great pasture farming and hunting society.Later, the Inuit came over from Siberia and invaded Greenland and wiped out the Norse settlements. Only with the Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede in 1721 was appointed royal missionary to Greenland did the Danish king again get to actually rule this part of the kingdom.The Greenlanders of today織s Greenland are a mix of Danish, Inuit and some other European blood. They are a hardy lot - it takes guts and perseverance to brave it out under these harsh and challenging conditions.We salute this proud people and hope you will approve of our selection of works.

Planetary Realism
Traditions of realism are brought together with the decolonial and ecological concept of "planetarity" to understand a new realism in contemporary art. The devastation left in the wake of modernity and globalization is revealing a fragile and unfamiliar planet, and humanity has awakened to a new real. If the old "realist" tools of objectivism have contributed to capitalist society's divorce from the natural world, how are artists finding new ways to make us really see--and feel--the planet? Surveying a body of planet-facing art, communal practices, and activism, Josephine Berry investigates art's power to break with capitalist realism and decarbonize the imagination. With chapters on feeling as world-making, the rupture of petroleum landscapes, artists' urban exodus, and migration as survival, Planetary Realism delves deeply into art's necessary reimagining of life on Earth.

Practical Design of the Acoustic Guitar and Similar Instruments
This book is for folks that build acoustic guitars and similar instruments like ukuleles and acoustic bass guitars that want to begin doing design work but do not necessarily have technical backgrounds. The term "design work" describes both structural modifications to the instrument and esthetic changes to the instrument body. Structural modifications range from very simple things like designing string sets to support alternate tunings, to more complex efforts like designing completely new instruments for nontraditional pitch ranges. Although all such engineering can be done by trial and error, this book discusses more reliable and less time-consuming approaches that help the designer get it right the first time. The material is presented in design order, starting with the pitch range of the instrument to be designed, proceeding to the design of the scale length and string set for that pitch range, and continuing with the size, shape, and structure of the instrument body. Also provided is basic design information in a math-free format that is easy to understand. The design approaches discussed here make use of free online instrument design software, including the "G" Thang Acoustic Guitar Design Tool. The book also serves as the user's manual for "G" Thang. This software enables the designer to use powerful design technology without complicated engineering math.
