Conjuring the Spirit World
Posters, photography, and objects from the height of Spiritualism and the history of magic gain renewed power when seen through today's lens. The human desire to connect with the dead since the mid-19th century gave rise to a fascination with the supernatural and the magical. Mediums and magicians from Harry Houdini, Margery the Medium, Howard Thurston, and the Fox Sisters offered "communication" with the departed at s矇ances and magic shows, two interrelated forms of popular culture that relied heavily on illusions and stagecraft. This is the first illustrated volume to gather the art and objects that made medium and magician performances iconic during the Spiritualism movement and beyond, a time when people actively debated and wondered, "can spirits return?" An international selection of paintings, photographs, posters, stage apparatuses, film, publications, and other objects reveal how audiences were entranced and mystified by these experiential performances, captivating willing believers and garnering skeptics as they navigated the intersecting realms of science and spirituality. From the origins of the iconic Oujia board to spirit photography, this book is a treasure trove.

Drawing Lessons
Maybe we're at an end, hearing a song fading out before a related but unexpected song begins. In retrospect, maybe a reckoning of some kind was inevitable all along. Eventually, when and if we must push forward without the resources we've relied on in the past, in that darkness, perhaps we'll all need imaginations trained on drawing lessons like the ones here.
Technified Muses
Examining representations of the femalebody in postrevolutionary genre literature Inthis volume, Sara Potter uses the idea of the muse from Greek mythology and thecyborg from posthuman theory to consider the portrayal of female characters andtheir bodies in Mexican art and literature from the 1920s to the present. Examininggenres including science fiction, cyberpunk, and popular fiction, Potter findsthat "technified muse" figures often appear in these texts at moments ofviolence and sociopolitical transformation. Potterbegins by looking at two avant-garde movements that emerged in the aftermath ofthe Mexican Revolution: the Estridentistas and the Contempor獺neos. Moving to the"Mexican Miracle," a midcentury period of economic prosperity, she considers thework of surrealists Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo within their culturaland political climates. She then addresses the aftermath of the 1968 studentmassacre in Tlatelolco as explored in Fernando del Paso's Palinuro de M矇xico and Juan Garc穩a Ponce's Cr籀nica de la intervenci籀n. Finally, Potter engages with the era thatbegan with the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement and Zapatistarebellion, drawing from Bernardo Fern獺ndez's Gel azul, Guadalupe Nettel's Elhu矇sped, and Karen Chacek's La ca穩dade los p獺jaros. Technified Muses shows that duringthese key periods, writers created muse-like characters that interact with the technologicaldiscourses of their times. These figures reflect the increasing emphasis onscience and progress throughout the twentieth century, embodying themodernization of Mexico while offering parallel narratives that challenge officialportrayals of the nation's history.

An Artist's Journey
Paraghamian's mixed media combines watercolour, pencil, pen and ink, opaqueing, acrylics and felt pen to create representations, which combine an evocative palette with a remarkable level of detail. This union of mood and material generates more than a sense of place, it conveys through an ever changing bouquet of colours, a sense of community and of belonging. Such a diverse style is ideally suited to corporations and organizations with a story to tell and moments to remember. He has garnered a loyal following within the corporate community. His distinctive style is ideal for a broad range of applications, from limited edition prints, posters and artcards to premiums such as T-shirts and tableware. Paraghamian's sophisticated and detailed representations of city waterfronts such as Montr矇al, Vancouver, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Miami and San Diego, have emerged as evidence of his unique and widely recognized talents. They are a reflection, perhaps, of his childhood years on the French Riviera. Born in Nice, France, surrounded by the beauty and excitement of the C繫te d'Azur. It was here that art, which has always been his preoccupation, became his consuming passion. Following a four-year program at the Ontario College of Art, he enjoyed an award-winning career as an art director. In 1983, the exceptional demand for his limited edition prints enabled him to become an independent illustrator, which allowed him to pursue his second great passion, travel. He has traversed six of the seven continents, an experience which has given him both an appreciation of Canada's outstanding qualities and a global comprehension. He trekked Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro, climbed to the base camp of Mount Everest in Nepal and photographed the Andes in South America. While in India, Paraghamian painted a canvas of the Taj Mahal, a life-long dream. www. gerardparaghamian.com

The Art of Portraiture
This is no ordinary book about drawing portraits, this is a book that may change your life and identity - transforming you into a dedicated artist who draws with passion and skill. Whether you're a beginner or already an accomplished artist, The Art of Portraiture takes you on a journey of discovery about what it takes to capture the essence of a person with just graphite and patience.Author and expert teacher Stephen Bauman offers a synthesis of the best lessons he has learned in his career as a student, as well as the most efficient exercises he's developed as an artist and teacher. If you're up for a bit of adventure, a touch of self-discovery, and a whole lot of drawing, then you're in the right place. This book is Stephen's earnest attempt to share what he's learned (often the hard way) about drawing portraits. Spoiler alert: There were plenty of awkward attempts, eraser battles, and moments where his 'likenesses' were more cartoon than human. But isn't that the point of learning - to embrace the stumbles and celebrate the breakthroughs? There are chapters answering questions such as 'What makes a drawing work?' followed by practical tutorials on specific techniques, including Value Mapping and Form Visualization, all accompanied by incredible illustrative examples and steps. Ultimately readers can reflect on the transformation they have achieved throughout the book and focus on their continuous growth and improvement. This is a wonderfully deep dive into the messy, marvellous, and occasionally magical world of portrait drawing.

Scientia Sexualis
Art that reimagines new frameworks for the history of science where sex, gender and pleasure are concernedThis volume considers the work of contemporary feminist and queer artists whose work confronts, dissolves and reimagines sex and gender within the apparatus of science--past and present. The included artists address topics such as the origins of modern gynecology and its ties to the torture of enslaved women; the pathologization of the sexual body; the entanglement of colonization with sexual violence; and nonconsensual gendering of trans and intersex people.Addressing the aftermath of our encounters with scientific discourses and institutions, Scientia Sexualis engages the materials of the clinic, the lab and the biomatter of sex and race; challenges our sense of what science is; confronts harm produced in the name of science; and offers alternative methods of learning. This richly illustrated publication accompanies a fall 2024 exhibition at the ICA LA.

Aesthetics After Modernism
Aesthetics after Modernism defends the ongoing relevance of aesthetics to art after modernism. Diarmuid Costello traces the art world's rejection of aesthetics to Clement Greenberg's success in co-opting the discourse of aesthetics, notably Kant's aesthetics, to underwrite a formalist theory of aesthetic value. This has led to Kant's aesthetics being tarred with the brush of Greenbergian formalism; it has also encouraged subsequent critics and theorists to miss the resources in Kant's aesthetics for capturing our cognitive relation to precisely the kinds of art that interest them. There is a tendency to assume that Kant's aesthetics cannot speak to the more cognitive aspects of our engagement with art. Costello offers an interpretation of Kant's aesthetics, grounded in his theory of art, that aims to show otherwise. Conceptual Art provides an instructive test case: here is an art that, at least in its more purist forms, claimed to forgo sensible properties altogether, in favour of direct engagement with ideas. But if Kant's aesthetics can be shown to accommodate our cognitive relation to works with no sensible features relevant to their appreciation, it should be able to accommodate any work of art. Aesthetics after Modernism proceeds in three steps: Part I sets out the internal structure of Greenbergian theory, focusing on the relation between his modernism and formalism, before critiquing each in turn. Part II unpacks the afterlife of Greenbergian theory by considering one sympathetic and one antipathetic response to his modernism and formalism in turn: Michael Fried and Rosalind Krauss for the former, Thierry de Duve and Arthur C. Danto for the latter. Part III returns to Kant's aesthetics, demonstrating that Kant's account of art as an 'expression of aesthetic ideas' is well placed to address the semantic content of genres such as Conceptual Art more commonly thought to exceed its grasp.
Translator's Vantage Points
The "Translator's Vantage Points: Modern Translation Technology" refers to the perspective or viewpoint from which a translator approaches his work. It suggests that translators should bring their unique perspectives, skills, and experiences to the task of translating from one language into another. This perspective can influence how they choose to convey meaning, tone, and cultural nuances from the source language to the target language. The translator's vantage points is important because it can impact on the quality and accuracy of the translation, as well as how well it resonates with the intended audience.

The Artistic Vision
When you look at the world, what do you see? As an artist, your creativity stems from your vision. The problem in the modern world is how often one's imagination is fragmented and reduced--between worship and work, the body and soul, the material and the spiritual. Written to practicing artists and those who pastor them, The Artistic Vision encourages artists who long for a greater sense of purpose and a greater sense of wholeness, proposing that seeing the material world as a shadow of spiritual realities will lead them toward an expression that joins faith and practice. Drawing from the Oxford Movement and artistic examples like Christina Rosetti and Flannery O'Connor, Ball and Sosler present a sacramental way of seeing the world: the invisible through the visible, the spiritual through the material, the divine through creation. Interspersed with practical vignettes from artists and pastoral reflection, The Artistic Vision helps artists regain an enchanted, mysterious, and reverent vision of life. Artists neither have to check their faith at the studio door, nor produce kitschy or easy art. By creating with a sacramental vision, they are seeing the world "charged with the grandeur of God" and inviting viewers into that participation.

Art as Enterprise
Art is produced, circulated, consumed and disseminated within an economic system - it depends on money for its creation, for the livelihood of its makers, and for its distribution. In this sense, art can be understood as an enterprising activity. However, profit-making is rarely the primary goal of artists, and indeed the entanglement of art with enterprise generates significant aesthetic, conceptual, philosophical and ethical challenges for contemporary art practice. Social enterprise has emerged from this complex terrain with the promise of an alternative model of economic organisation in the arts. Grace McQuilten and Anthony White argue that artists can, and have, engaged critically in the commercial market, by way of this model. Art as Enterprise brings a fresh perspective to the debate about the roles of contemporary art in consumer capitalist society.
Fifteen Colonial Thefts
'Eloquent and powerful ... an invaluable collection of forgotten histories. The authors show that colonial conquest was not only about erasing, expropriating, dispossessing, extracting, exploiting, but also looting and trafficking. They make the case for unconditional restitutions and returns' Fran癟oise Verg癡s, author of A Programme of Absolute Disorder: Decolonizing the Museum'Brings much-needed diversity to a debate that has for too long focused on a very few cases mainly seen from a European perspective. A great introduction to the history behind the restitution process' Felicity Bodenstein, Lecturer, Sorbonne Universit矇 'By focusing on colonial violence, this book not only reminds us of the nature of colonialism itself, but also of the unabated necessity to continue scrutinising museum collections and work towards restitution' Larissa F繹rster, Department of European Ethnology, Humboldt-Universit瓣t zu Berlin Debates around restitution and decolonizing museums continue to rage across the world. Artifacts, effigies, and ancestral remains are finally being accurately contextualized and repatriated to their homelands. Fifteen Colonial Thefts amplifies and adds to these discussions, exploring the history of colonial violence in Africa through the prism of fifteen African belongings -- all looted at the height of the imperial era and brought to Western museums. Each chapter is accompanied by an original illustration, commissioned especially for the book, from established and emerging African artists, bringing these stories to life for the reader. With contributors from across the continents of Europe and Africa, including scientists, museum professionals, artists, and activists, the book illuminates the collective trauma and loss of cultural, historical, and spiritual knowledge that colonial theft engendered. Sela K. Adjei is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher. He is a lecturer at the University of Media, Arts and Communication, Institute of Film and Television, Accra, Ghana. Yann LeGall is a postdoctoral researcher on the project 'The Restitution of Knowledge: Artefacts as Archives in the (Post) Colonial Museum' at the Technical University in Berlin. As a member of the initiatives Berlin Postkolonial and Postcolonial Potsdam, he leads guided tours on colonial history in both cities. The book includes a foreword by Peju Layiwola, an art historian and visual artist from Nigeria. She is Professor of Art and Art History at the University of Lagos. Her works can be found in Yemisi Shyllon Museum, Lagos, and in the homes of many private collectors. Her maternal grandfather was Oba Akenzua II, King of Benin, who ruled from 1933 until 1978. Layiwola has led public advocacy for the return of artworks stolen from Benin during the Punitive Expedition of 1897.

Geothe's Theory of Colour
A groundbreaking text on colour theory, Goethe's seminal work challenges Newtonian theories to explore the human experience and subjective nature of colour. First published in 1810 as Zur Farbenlehre, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's classic work took a pioneering approach to colour science, exploring the interplay of light and shadow, the emotional effects of colours and their dynamic relationships.

The Apostles of Jesus Christ
THE RABBI JESUS of Nazareth chose twelve men to form his own itinerant minyan to travel with him wherever he went throughout his earthly ministry. A "minyan" is the number of adult Jews required to form a synagogue or to conduct Hebrew worship as a congregation. Today the quorum is ten. Originally the number was twelve-the same number of the original twelve tribes of Israel. This book provides new materials based upon historical research/analysis and an examination of the sociological, interpersonal, and group dynamics of this amazing group of Jesus's apostles. The Appendices include a unique Minyan Sociogram, maps, and a new Reader's Guide that offers additional resources for the reader. A Leader's Manual with a DVD is also available for leaders of youth and adult Bible Study groups and church Sunday School classes. "Dr. C. David Jones has given us a marvelous and expansive piece of Research work and writing in this book in which he tells the fascinating story of the original twelve men and then the thirteen men who joined them to form a very special minyan: their lives changed the world!"-from the Introduction to the book by Dr. Maxie D. Dunnam, past President and current Provost of Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky. Cover illustration by Tim Baron

Son of Greg Girard
We arrived at a strange hour at Phnom Penh airport and used the Visa on Arrival option, where a raggedy man in a makeshift booth rubber stamped our Canadian passports after a short flight. It was late and my dad recalls trying to check into a hotel room that had only one bed, which I refused, after which we tuk tuked around in the middle of the night if I remember correctly trying to find a hotel. I remember the first hotel that I refused - dimly lit but squinting you would see grande architecture from another time, large open hallways and a minimal discreet panel of hotel staff that looked a bit off in trying to get hotel staff at least from a young Canadian perspective in my mind. That would have been in the late 90s, early 2000s. I didn't know my dad well yet but this is one of our memories. Early trips to China, and Hong Kong, really shaping things for me because I didn't have anything like that on my radar during my formative years. Subsequent trips by my dads or my own volition, always with my dad there on arrival sometimes briefly sometimes longer. The long memorable trip in the South of China with my dad there, and actually no memory of a camera as his guide, maybe one the only times. Guangzhuo, after being asked, i described as a boring random Chinese city, mainland, dirty at the time, not much going on. Upon sharing this story with others familiar with the place, discovered it had a blossoming night life scene among locals and settlers. Not to downplay the phone call from Jonathan, part of a family friend group that was really the backbone for a lot of this. Jonathan as the story goes arrived in Hong Kong and adapted to have almost perfect Mandarin Chinese. Began writing for major art world publications and eventually joined Art Basel as a sort of gatekeeper for new artists in that space.
