Monica Bonvicini/Sam Durant : break it/fix it : 28.11.2003-1.2.2004, Secession by
Monica Bonvicini(
Book
)
7 editions published in 2003 in German and English and held by 39 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
>Gedanklicher Ausgangspunkt des von Monika Bonvicini und Sam Durant für die Secession entwickelten Projekts >Break it/Fix it< sind zwei Aphorismen Ludwig Wittgensteins: >Anrennen gegen die Grenzen der Sprache? Die Sprache ist ja kein Käfig< und >Das Anrennen gegen die Wände unseres Käfigs ist völlig und absolut aussichtslos<. Durch das Eingrenzen des Raumes werden die Möglichkeiten zur Bewegung im Raum, aber auch die Wahrnehmung des Raumes eingegrenzt. Das den grundriss der Installation bildende Wort >Cage< ist nur vorstellbar, ist nur in Ausschnitten sicht- und erlebbar, die allein kein Ganzes ergeben können. Um den Käfig tatsächlich völlig erfassen zu können, bedarf es des Wissens um diesen Käfig, die Grenzen der Vorstelbarkeit sind auch die Grenzen des zur Verfügung stehenden Wissens. Bonvicini und Durant schreiben in den Raster und vor allem in die Geschichte des Raumes eine Struktur ein, anhand derer sie ihre Überlegungen zu den sozialen, politischen und historischen Bedingungen von Architektur visualisieren. Primäre Aufgabe eines Käfigs ist das Trennen zweier sich gegenüber stehender Gruppierungen und so beschreiben die Wände des Käfigs klar die jeweils herrschenden Verhältnisse; im Werk von Bonvicini und Durant stehen sich Sprache und Architektur gegenüber - wobie die permeablen Leerstellen dieses Verhältnis ebenso definieren wie die trennenden Wände.< (Matthias Herrmann)

The seventh publication in Cabinet's '24-Hour Book' series, in which distinguished authors and artists are incarcerated in the Cabinet gallery space to complete a project from start to finish within 24 hours, 'The Death of the Artist' breaks from prior volumes to stage an experiment involving six different contributors working simultaneously on a single book. Gathered at Cabinet's Berlin event space, the six artists and writers were each asked to consider their own finitude, figurative or literal. The volume includes Sam Durant's meditation on the death of an artwork as a political idea; Tom McCarthy's forensic postulations about death and geometry; Eva Stenram's modified found photographs that suggest violence-to-come; Omer Fast's script in which a woman on an Austrian ski slope becomes the reluctant audience for a retelling of a Yiddish folk tale; Susan Ploetz's outline for a Live Action Role Play (LARP) in which players can learn the art of dying; and Till Gathmann's aleatory game whose outcome can invoke death

The meeting house : build therefore your own world by
Sam Durant(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2017 in English and held by 8 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Sam Durant is a multimedia artist whose work engages social, political, and cultural issues. His work has been widely exhibited in the UK, Europe, Asia and the Americas. It has been included in the Panamá, Sydney, Venice, and Whitney Biennials and can be found in many public collections including MOMA, New York, Project Row Houses, Houston and Tate Modern, London. Based in Los Angeles, Durant teaches at the California Institute of the Arts. Durant's The Meeting House (2016) was a public art project at The Old Manse, a National Historic Landmark built in 1770 and former home and gathering place for politicians, thinkers, and transcendentalists including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The sister exhibition at Blum & Poe, Los Angeles in 2017, Build Therefore Your Own World, introduced new works that expanded upon Durant's premise of the interdependence between transcendentalists, abolitionists, and African American writers of pre- and post-revolutionary America in the creation of American culture and identity. Exhibition: Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, United States (07.01-08.02.2017)

Pantera Negra : el arte revolucionario de Emory Douglas(
Book
)
2 editions published in 2012 in Spanish and held by 5 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"El arte del antiguo ministro de Cultura del Partido Pantera Negra, Emory Douglas, fue una presencia constante y brillante en el periódico The Black Panther. Su obra artística era agresiva, íntegra y clara como el agua. Mostraba a hombres y mujeres negros armados, que luchaban para defenderse a sí mismos y a sus comunidades de cerdos y jabalíes desaseados y desaliñados. Su trabajo rara vez necesitó título porque el arte se expresaba solo. Era arte revolucionario, arte polémico, arte negro y, la mayoría de las veces, arte proletario y, por supuesto, marginal. En un momento en el que el arte negro popular era principalmente estilizado e idealista, Emory Douglas se esforzó por representar a las personas en el gueto, hermanas con trenzas, mangas raídas y zapatos gastados. Estoy seguro de que a las personas les va a encantar su obra artística. "En esta edición preparada por Sam Durant se presenta el trabajo de Emory Douglas como ministro de Cultura del Partido Pantera Negra, principalmente para las páginas del periódico The Black Panther. Las imágenes se complementan con los textos de diversos artistas y colaboradores. Se incluye también una entrevista a Douglas realizada por St. Clair Bourne
