Digital Activism and Design
The objective of this work, born within this contextual framework, is to express the concepts of digital activism and design used in terms of activism with texts from unique perspectives. It seeks to analyze the phenomenon of "Digital Activism and Design" across various sub-headings including information and communication technologies and systems, media policies, film studies, culture, visual arts, visual communication, and mass communication media. Additionally, it aims to scrutinize aspects such as interaction, control, and transformation, and to carry out a memory study that can serve as a source for further research in this field.
Drawing a Year, Day by Day
Drawing A Year came out of Genie Poretzky-Lee's desire to give, with no strings attached, a drawing a day to be gifted to anyone who makes a request.The idea of giving has been there since the beginning of time, this work is an acknowledgement of all that is given and all that has been received. In Margaret Atwood's words: "Gifts pass from hand to hand: they endure through such transmission, as every time a gift is given it is enlivened and regenerated through the new spiritual life it engenders in both the giver and in the receiver." (2012).365 drawings in full colour.
Electric Op
An English/French bilingual volume that traces the enduring legacy of geometric abstraction through the last six decades of electronic art and culture.One of the most popular artistic styles of the twentieth century, Op art transformed European geometric abstraction into a global phenomenon in the mid-1960s. Its disorienting patterns and illusions, rendered with machine-like precision, became icons of the futuristic Space Age. As the 1960s faded, Op became a short-lived fad, dismissed by art historians and critics as visual kitsch. Over the last 15 years, however, many museums have re-introduced Op to audiences who enthusiastically embrace it as a reflection of contemporary life. Emerging at precisely the same time as mainstream video technologies and the modern digital computer, Op helped shape the aesthetics of electronic media, becoming the first artistic movement of the Information Age.Juxtaposing plates of approximately 123 artworks by 88 international artists and collectives from the 1960s to the present (including Victor Vasarely, Vera Molnar, Lillian Schwartz, JODI, Ryoji Ikeda, and Cory Arcangel), Electric Op offers a scholarly re-evaluation of the legacy of abstraction and the surprisingly intertwined histories of contemporary and digital art. It is also a blockbuster of dazzling works that appeal to all ages, including iconic masterpieces alongside rarely-seen gems. Outstanding works from the collections of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and the Mus矇e d'arts de Nantes are supplemented with key loans from other major museums, private collections, and artists.

Discovering Degas
A beautifully illustrated study of the works by Edgar Degas in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow. In 1874 the first Impressionist exhibition opened in Paris, shocking the art world with a radical new style of painting. Capturing contemporary subjects and everyday life, the 'Impressionist' artists were fascinated by the way light, colour and shape constantly change. But frequent rejection by the Paris Salon jury led some, including Edgar Degas, to look to Britain for a more receptive audience. This richly illustrated book explores the influence of London-based dealers such as Ernest Gambart and Charles Deschamps, and Glasgow-based dealer Alex Reid, who saw the market for French art in Britain, encouraging an early following among British collectors for artists such as Monet, Pissarro, Manet and Degas. William Burrell's first opportunity to see Degas's work on public display in Scotland was at the 1888 International Exhibition in Glasgow. Over a 40-year period Burrell collected more than 20 of Degas's works, far more than any other UK collector, before he and his wife Constance donated their entire collection to the City of Glasgow. This book accompanies a major exhibition at the Burrell Collection, in which all of Burrell's Degas pictures are displayed together for the first time, along with important works from national and international collections. Detailed catalogue entries look at the artist's talent for capturing subjects such as the ballet, racehorses, and women bathing and dressing, giving a greater insight into why British collectors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries purchased these enduringly appealing works. This is also an important opportunity to understand Degas in his entirety, both as a brilliant artist and as a man whose opinions and ideas would not go unchallenged today.
Contemporary Romanian Artists
The book Contemporary Romanian Artists. Journalistic Insights is about art as a means to communicate meanings shared by the members of a community or of a culture at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the new millennium. First, there is a look into the changes that affected the cultural production and consumption practices in the digital era. It is about the interactive art and relational aesthetics, the emergence of a new production and consumption model, and cultural differences between the works of Western and East European artists, reflecting the transition from communism to post-communism and democracy. The book also reveals the interpretation and signification strategies used for understanding and creating meaning for a number of works of art by Romanian artists, while considering the stylistic diversity of their artistic works, The book presents exquisite examples of poetic interpretations made by writers for paintings, and examples of visual texts reflecting the process of understanding and graphically interpreting a literary text. Beyond the surface of the commented works and events, one can distinguish the constants defining the spirit of the era.
The Needlepoint of St. James
The Needlepoint of St. James: Fifty Years of "Greater Glory" (134 pages, $36.99) -- The resplendent needlepoint collection of St. James Episcopal Church in Keene, NH, was produced by a community of more than 60 volunteers in the decade between 1972 and 1982. Initially the dream of then Rector, Chandler H. McCarty, the project was accomplished under the guidance and energetic leadership of Mrs. Mary P. Olsen. This book tells the story of the collection, explores what it represents, and examines how it has contributed the life of the community, including as the church has changed and modernized. The book includes a complete photographic inventory of the more than 400 individual pieces and preserves the record of the hundreds of memorial dedications that made the project possible. While serving as a stand-alone inventory, it is also meant as a companion piece to Mrs. Olsen's 1980 book about the mechanics of planning, organizing and directing large needlepoint projects: For the Greater Glory (Seabury Press).
Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1802
Hokusai織s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1802 is something completely different from his first square series 1801. Hokusai here employs the horizontal "landscape" format and abt the double size of his square 1801 series. In this series Hokusai focus on wonderful folkloric scenes of ordinary people going about their work, in addition to the travel scenes. Hokusai also begins to develop the landscapes that were to become a standard for later generations of Tokaido series. Hokusai develops the concept of the Tokaido print from cartoon to folklore and the beginning of landscape. He builds on a b/w guide, Tokaido meisho zue from 1797, ISBN 9781956773316. It was a great and early contribution to the growing Tokaido literature, which Hokusai dominated for some 30 years.

Art Teaching and Rurality
This study meets the wishes and desires realised in recording the local culture of the students who live in the rural area of Uberl璽ndia - MG, precisely at Fazenda Floresta do Lobo, Emilio Ribas Municipal School. The cultural diversity of the students in the classroom led to reflective moments and artistic actions involving work that integrates art and culture through the use of the Triangular Approach to develop students' ability to represent, interpret, imagine and understand themselves and intercultural relations. This proposed educational practice for rural schools seeks to relate the educational process to its target audience (students from the 6th to the 9th year of primary school), integrating the students' intercultural relations into art lessons. Contact with different cultures has made teaching art in the school in question a moment of discovery, of building knowledge and concepts in favour of an aesthetic of everyday life in parallel with the observation of regional cultures; it has also contributed to the debate on new conceptions of art teaching practice in a pedagogical proposal that integrates art with culture and rurality.

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.

Arcanum
When we got together to collectively produce our end-of-course work, from the outset we had the intention of producing, through photographic language, a material full of symbolic charge that could produce a unique experience for the reader with the image. Thus, the tarot emerged (remained and lingered) as the object of study for this experimental project. This book, as well as a report on the creative process of the photobook of the same name, is a study of the visual language of the tarot. Based on Didi-Hubermann's methodology for reading images, we remained open to the dialogues established with our repertoires and the different temporalities that emerge from these cards. We also carried out research into the narrative contained in the sequence of major arcana, looking for relationships with Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, and into the origin of the esoteric symbols contained in the decks, in dialogue with Carl Jung's psychology. This is Arcanum's proposal, which goes through archetypes and mythologies to recount, through the photographs produced, the delights and misadventures of the path of the major arcana and provoke the reader to set out on their own journey.
Music and dance as integration for people with disabilities
The Casa de Cultura as a cultural institution works to improve the cultural and educational response it offers to the diversity of people, the research aims at proposing creative workshops for the integration of music and dance from the teaching-learning process in relation to the artistic development of people with hearing impairment in dance creation workshops. Among its results is the determination of the most relevant tendencies of the teaching-learning process of the dance creation workshops. Besides revealing the relationships between theoretical aspects, such as the peculiarities of the social situation of the development of these people, the components to be modified in the socializing agents who participate in the process and the elements to be diagnosed in the House of Culture, which lead to the formation of public awareness towards them. It was applied in the Tomasa Varona House of Culture in Las Tunas, favoring the formation of inclusive values, and the organization for a cultural institution in conditions of educational inclusion.

Tracey Emin
A fresh take on one of contemporary art's most renowned figures Tracey Emin (b. 1963) is widely known for dynamic and autobiographical works that reflect grief, hope, loss, and love. For more than three decades, her art has challenged stereotypes about female experience and sexuality. Rising up with a cohort dubbed the Young British Artists (YBAs), Emin made her mark in London with sculptural installations that became icons of the 1990s. She went on to explore an exceptional range of media, becoming famous for her neon and textile works. Yet Emin has long thought of painting as central to her artistic practice and since the early 2000s has intensified her focus on the medium in large-scale figurative works rooted in emotion and bodily experience. Published to accompany Emin's first major exhibition in North America, this generously illustrated volume features an exclusive interview with the artist, places her work in its art-historical context, and opens new avenues for approaching her painting and closely related drawing practice. Distributed for the Yale Center for British Art Exhibition Schedule: Yale Center for British Art (March 29-August 10, 2025)
Institutional Change for Museums
Institutional Change for Museums: A Practical Guide to Creating Polyvocal Spaces demonstrates how museums can enact institutional change by implementing systematic and structural approaches to anti-racist, anti-colonial, and anti-elitist practices.This practical guide brings together museum and heritage experts, artists, organizers, and cultural workers to present thoughtful, polyvocal critiques and solutions for conceptualizing museums of the future. These authors embrace hybrid identities, complicate concepts of nationalism, straddle disciplines, and extend the concept, function, and literal place and definition of the "museum." The book shows that museums must cultivate practices that center people, interrogate colonial legacies, take new approaches to curatorial ethics and caring for objects, and imagine new strategies for asserting the relevance of museums, to create institutional change. This resource challenges traditional approaches to museology by offering scholarly research and case studies alongside personal narratives and speculative fiction.Institutional Change for Museums will be an invaluable resource for museum professionals and cultural workers, including curators, educators, and researchers. It will also be beneficial to those studying or researching in Museum and Heritage Studies, Cultural Studies, Feminist Studies, Visual Culture, Social Justice, and Postcolonial Studies.

Particles and Waves: Southern California Abstraction and Science
An interdisciplinary guide to the 20th-century Southern California-based artists who investigated phenomena from the realms of optical science, astronomy, aerospace engineering and mathThe synergy between art and science is an age-old tale; artists throughout time, from Leonardo da Vinci to Beeple, have incorporated newly discovered scientific theories and techniques into their practices. The PST ART project Particles and Waves: Southern California Abstraction and Science explores a particularly fecund yet underexplored period in the history of art and science's cross-fertilization. The development of postwar industry and research in Southern California inspired a host of artistic innovations; for decades, abstract artists from the region experimented with color, form and mediums, variously employing ideas or procedures gleaned from the latest developments in physics, astronomy and mathematics.Particles and Waves unites several generations of artists working in diverse materials and styles to visualize light, energy, motion and time. Boasting a gorgeous cover, the volume features a wide array of artists and topics, from Man Ray's paintings of mathematical models to Lee Mullican's computer-inspired abstractions, and from to the West Coast Minimalists and Light and Space artists' (including Mary Corse, Fred Eversley and James Turrell) rigorous studies of light to Bettina Brendel and Helen Lundeberg's investigations of scale through their paintings of subatomic and astronomical subjects.

Culture of Crisis and Extinction: Idealism and Ideology Expressed in Arts and Architectural Forms explores the mythology of cultures in crisis, tracing the symptoms that lead to their destruction and eventual extinction. Through a comprehensive range of research methods and strategies tailored to each fieldwork project, this book investigates cultural phenomena across various environments. It uncovers significant historical meanings that are often hidden or absent from mainstream publications.By analyzing cultural transitions through economic, political, and ethnic lenses across Europe and Asia, the book provides an in-depth examination of collective action and the root causes of cultural crises. Spanning six chapters, it identifies the myths surrounding cultural conflicts and crises of extinction, challenging the assumption that poverty and suffering are definitive indicators of such crises. Instead, it presents cultural extinction as a gradual process stemming from a culture's failure to adapt to its changing environment.The book considers how injustice, economic misalignment, and systemic inequalities-such as unnecessary poverty, illness, and religious discrimination-contribute to cultural collapse. When these injustices become ingrained within a society's institutions, the eventual disappearance of the culture becomes inevitable unless transformative change is initiated.
Earth, Space and Fractals
With more than 370 pictures, "Earth, Space and Fractals" demonstrates the endless array of fantastic and otherworldly images that can be created with today's fractal generation software. The book is laid out in art-folio style with many of the images occupying a full page to emphasize the beauty and mystery of fractal art. While many books on the subject deal with fractal mathematics, this book is instead a picture album that provides a wide variety of fractal images that, in some cases, are paired with artistically matched photos of objects in the real world. One look at the world around us reveals fractal patterns and images everywhere. The spiral of our galaxy, structure of our nervous system, pattern of veins in a leaf, craggy nature of coastlines, day-to-day changes in weather patterns, ripples of water in a stream, demands of network traffic on the internet, and the ups and downs of the stock market are all examples of the complexity of nature-that which can't be easily defined by the traditional Euclidian math and geometry we learned in school. Fractal math works better in describing and predicting how these disordered and chaotic systems work.In the late 1980's, Benoit Mandelbrot's pioneering work in the science of fractals spawned a huge public response with trendy fractal images appearing just about everywhere-on posters, clothing, mugs, lunch boxes and more. Moving forward to the present day, free and open-source PC-based software programs such as Mandelbulb 3D and JWildfire make it possible to combine fractal types with literally limitless 3D graphical output to generate images that simultaneously look both "real" and imaginary -- and sometimes mystical or ethereal. This book catalogs images drawn from ten years of experimentation with fractal software. The folios group similar images: botanicals and life forms, mechanistic forms, architectural forms, places in and out of this world, ornamental forms and mindscapes. A short introduction precedes the folios while appendices offer insight into the creation of the book.
