Tenet
TENET is a text-image artifact compiled from 100 nested tensors, multi-dimensional mesostic mosaics, "writ-10" in custom alphanumeric source code by 10-tentacled antenna. TENET was not so much written as channeled from analog alien transmissions (namely the "10-itus" in the receiver's otherwise deaf right ear) + digitally decrypted + typed by the author's 10 digits in the year 2025, where 2025 "equills" the sum of 10 digits squared, (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9) ? (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9). As the matrices cycle in 10 increments of 10, they "decim8 + disentegr8 in2" recursive feedback loops, decomposing into a sort of tactile braille "in-10-ded 2 B red" in multiple directions as if the eyes were tentacular digits stereophonically projecting through the page to render its own interpretation.
Heard in Art
Ekphrastic poems broaden and deepen our understanding of their subjects; only the best ones, however, match their visual eloquence. In Hoyt Rogers's marvelous new volume, Heard in Art, time and again, whether addressing works from Titian or Vermeer, Tintoretto, Caravaggio, or Claesz, sublimely, with wild erudition, they do.

It's Too Late. Do It Anyway!
Hey culture worker! Are you feeling alone and afraid while the world burns? It's Too Late.

The ethos of small figurative art lies in its unique ability to convey profound emotional and human experiences within a compact and intimate format.

This book explores figurative artwork being created in the United States at the end of the twentieth century, which is both intimate in scale and combines personal expression with broader social and cultural messages.
Kaj - A Collection
Kaj Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark in 1932. He was a remarkable figure who excelled both as a footballer and a celebrated artist. His early professional years were marked by a passion for both sports and the arts, leading him to pursue a dual career. On the football field, Kaj was known for his skilful play and leadership, as team captain for 'B1913 Odense', earning him a place in Denmark's national team during 1963. Unfortunately whilst visiting Hungary for a game, Kaj contracted Tuberculosis and spent 9 months in hospital after which he was no longer able to play at the international level. Off the field, his artistic prowess shone through his vibrant paintings, characterised by bold strokes and vivid colours in layered oil abstract pieces amongst others. Over his lifetime, Kaj Andersen created and sold many hundreds of pieces of work before his sudden death whilst playing football for the old boys in 1995 at the age of just 62.--Kaj Andersen blev f繪dt i Odense, Danmark i 1932.

Biomedical Visions
Theoretical and scientific inquiries into the benefits and drawbacks of visualization, illustration and visual culture in the field of medicineIn this multi-authored volume, a diverse cast of artists and scholars reflect on the dialectical role of image-making across the biomedical sciences. Scientific images can legitimize patient experiences and perceptions and convince doctors in the search for a diagnosis, treatment or cure. But they can also be deceptive messengers, generating new forms of epistemic uncertainty and increasing rates of misdiagnosis, unnecessary interventions and healthcare inequalities. In explicating this duality, the authors mobilize perspectives from visual studies of science, art history, science and technology studies, sociology and patient advocacy with historic, contemporary and original artworks and infographics. Biomedical Visions bridges epistemology, medicine and artistic practice to make sense both of how biomedicine looks and how we might look differently at biomedicine, in the past and in the future.

Vol. 29
There's something odd about twin-lens reflex (TLR) film cameras, but very appealing. I can't really explain it. TLR cameras are bulky, awkward to use and, well, kind-of weird. Still, I love picking one up and taking it out to shoot. Mamiya TLRs comprise a rare line of TLR cameras in that they were the only pro TLR cameras that had interchangeable lenses other than Contaflex. That fact alone made me long for one a long time. When I bought my Yashica Mat EM, there were Mamiya TLR cameras available, but usually at two to three times the cost. Like the other medium-format (MF) cameras - Hasselblad, Bronica, Pentax, etc. - the Mamiyas were far out of reach. That is until around 2003 when photographers were ditching their film cameras, and selling them cheap. They may not be as cheap now, but they're still worth the prices. As I said, shooting with a TLR is an odd experience, but one definitely worth experiencing.
Hospital Aesthetics
In Hospital aesthetics, Amanda Cachia introduces a broad array of contemporary artists who are engaging in relational aesthetic activism and socially engaged art practice. She analyzes practices in which artists are taking health and care into their own hands by making works that engage with the ever-subjective experience of being sick and ill. The first truly comprehensive monograph in critical disability studies to be grounded in a deep and scholarly understanding of modern and contemporary art practice, this work presents hospital aesthetics as a decolonizing gesture, wherein contemporary artists go against the tendency for the medical industrial complex to treat disabled bodies as specimens and, eventually, archives. Cachia aims to codify "hospitable aesthetics" as a category or genre of disability art that is more relevant now than ever before, as increasing numbers of artists turn to the hospital or doctor's office as a canvas, literally and symbolically.

Negotiating Digital Heritage Infrastructures
Negotiating Digital Heritage Infrastructures examines the infrastructural qualities of museum work that influence the ability of cultural institutions to support participatory and socially inclusive missions.Drawing on data gathered in Scotland, Sweden, and Germany and taking an infrastructure studies approach, the book focuses on the socio-technical negotiations underpinning the everyday practices of museum staff. The book examines the work that is done behind the scenes, including the everyday tasks of collecting, archiving, displaying museum objects and retrieving information. Tran argues that while the technical components of infrastructure are necessary for memory-making and knowledge production, it is the social part of museum infrastructure that enables more open and decentralised modes of memory-making. The book shows how these negotiations affect the ability of museum infrastructures to accommodate and support growth and development, expanding access and establishing modes of connection to external partners and services. It illuminates the less visible practices of museums, which nevertheless directly affect their more public, outward-facing activities.Negotiating Digital Heritage Infrastructures will be of interest to academics and students who are engaged in the study of museums and heritage. It will be particularly useful to those with an interest in public participation, social inclusion, heritage management, the digitisation of collections, data aggregation, and human-centred design approaches.

John Singer Sargent
A comprehensive catalogue of Sargent's charcoal portraits, capturing high society, professions, and the arts in an era of profound transformation In comparison with his portraits in oil, John Singer Sargent's charcoal portraits are relatively little known. In this authoritative new volume, Richard Ormond documents the nearly 700 drawings that make up this distinct strand of Sargent's oeuvre. These portraits capture the essence of British and American high society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, portraying an elite clientele that includes aristocracy, royalty, politicians, artists, writers, actors, financiers, and philanthropists. Among Sargent's subjects are such prominent figures as the Astors, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Du Ponts, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Ethel Barrymore, W. B. Yeats, and Winston Churchill. Though renowned for his paintings of women, these charcoal portraits also reveal Sargent's interest in depicting athletes across a variety of sports, from cricket and fencing to football and polo. This shift in subject matter from prewar to postwar, along with a sparser style characteristic of his charcoal work, casts new light on Sargent's depictions of the period's social landscape. Surviving letters between Sargent and his patrons, reminiscences recorded in contemporary diaries, and David McKibbin's extensive correspondence with sitters, both document the portraits and provide a vivid and human picture of the artist at work.

Pain and Politics in Postwar Feminist Art
Between 1966 and 1976, American artist Nancy Spero completed some of her most aggressively political work. Made at a time when Spero was a key member of the anti-war and feminist arts-activism that burgeoned in the New York art world during the period, her works demonstrate a violent and bodily rejection of injustice. Considering the ways in which anti-war and feminist art used emotion as a means to persuade and protest, Pain and Politics in Postwar Feminist Art examines the history of this crucial decade in American art politics through close attention to Spero's practice. Situating her work amongst the activism that defined the era, this book examines the ways in which sensation and emotion became political weapons for a generation of artists seeking to oppose patriarchy and war. Exemplary of the way in which artists were using metaphors of sensation and emotion in their work as part of the anti-Vietnam war and feminist art movements in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Spero's practice acts as a model for representing how politics feels. By exploring Spero's political engagement anew, this book offer a profound recontextualization of the important contribution that Spero made to Feminist thought, politics and art in the US.
Manifesta, Art, Society and Politics
This is the first monograph fully dedicated to critically investigating the political, economic, artistic, urban, and societal relationships of Manifesta - European Biennial of Contemporary Art, a European nomadic biennial initiated in the post-Cold War era. Despite being one of the most important recurrent exhibitions taking place in Europe, surprisingly little has been written about it since the mid-2000s, Manifesta, Art, Society and Politics provides a deeply-researched and engaging analysis of the the critically overlooked Manifesta exhibitions, as well as it's changing goals and discourse since the first edition in 1996. The book is split into four parts, divided by theme and following the exhibitions chronologically. Providing a comprehensive overview of one of the most important biennials in Europe, Manifesta, Art, Society and Politics investigates the relationship between large-scale art exhibitions, culture-led regeneration, and urban transformation. It is essential reading for students and researches of exhibition and curatorial studies, art history, and cultural studies.
Passive Tranquillity
This is a print on demand publication. Born in 1698, Della Valle came to Rome in 1725 upon the death of his master, Giovanni Foggini. There he remained until his death in 1768. The phrase "passive tranquillity" refers both to the style of Della Valle's sculpture & the ambiance of 18th-cent. Rome, &, further, serves to distinguish Della Valle from his better known precursors, Gianlorenzo Bernini & Michelangelo. Theirs was a sculpture of the heroic & expressive. Della Valle's sculpture represents figures of an introverted, serene type. In its demonstrations of the ways in which Della Valle's art could have been formed by the institutions & cultural currents of 18th-cent. Rome, the text seeks to account for that sense of quiescence & composure common to the arts of settecento Rome. Illustrations.
Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance
Through an examination of children's and youth plays and performances about the Holocaust from Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book offers an entirely new way of looking at the vital role of youth performance in coping with the legacy of historical tragedy. As the first book-length critical examination of this subject, Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance considers plays that are produced by major theatre companies alongside performances written by young authors and pieces taken from the diaries and memoirs of those who experienced the Holocaust as children or adolescents. While youth-focused plays about the Holocaust have been in the repertories of top professional companies throughout the world for decades and continue to be performed in theatres, schools, and community centers, they are often neglected in concentrated and comparative studies of Holocaust theatre. Erika Hughes fills this gap by examining plays (including The Diary of Anne Frank and Ab heure hei?t Du Sara), musicals, performances, scripts, a rock concert, a performance on Instagram, and pedagogically-focused works of applied theatre - a diverse collection of performances for young audiences that tell the stories of young people who experienced the Holocaust. Adopting Hannah Arendt's notion of natality as a powerful framework, this study examines the ways in which youth-theatre performances make a vital contribution to intergenerational witnessing and the collective memory of the Holocaust.
Some Architects' Portraits in Nineteenth-Century America
This is the first study devoted to the portraits of nineteenth-century American architects. It is an examination of the way the iconography of such images changed over time to reflect the changing social status of the architect as the profession evolved during the century. Portraits in oil on canvas, drawings, and photography in the text range from Charles Willson Peale's image of William Buckland in the late eighteenth century to John Singer Sargent's portrait of Richard Morris Hunt in the late 1890s. The book has been praised as "a unique use of visual resources, supported by formidable primary research and a thorough analysis of secondary literature." Illustrations.
Biblioteca Angelica Ms. 1551
This volume consists of three sets of watercolor drawings, each depicting non-Europea peoples or places in Asia and the Americas. The volume belonged to the famous collector and antiquarian Camillo Massino (1620-1677), and was part of a large donation to the library by his descendants in the 19th century. This is the first in-depth investigation of the three series in terms of materials or manufacture, possible relations to one another or other contemporaneous illustrations, and their role in advancing understanding of the depicted peoples. Clues within the drawings, their style and content suggest not only new interpretations, but specific links between and among them, and likely origins, placing them squarely into the most intense period in the early modern era of European interest in these cultures.
