‎AI Weiwei : On the Table‎

‎, La Fabrica, 2015 Hardcover, 208 pages, ENG / CAT, 310 x 230 x 20 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788415691969.‎

‎Ai Weiwei: On the Table surveys the full scope of Weiwei's career, from his early days in 1980s New York to his present-day status as the best-known and most influential Chinese artist in the world. Work by this media-savvy activist calling for greater freedom in China can now be found in leading contemporary art museums and collections worldwide; the image of his taunting, irreverent middle finger imposed atop touristy monuments and landscape photos has become ubiquitous, his sunflower seed installations iconic. This volume includes previously unseen new work, as well as a range of key pieces from the past 35 years, presented in a beautiful clothbound format. Ai Weiwei (born 1957) spent his youth in exile, returning to Beijing at the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. He lived in the US, mostly in New York, from 1981 to 1993, and in the wake of his exposure to the work of Warhol, Duchamp and Johns, began altering readymade objects and creating conceptually driven art. In 2008 he was commissioned as the artistic design consultant for the Beijing National Stadium built for the Summer Olympics. The artist has openly criticized the Chinese government and was famously incarcerated for 81 days in 2011 on no official charges.‎

‎Migrations of Concepts. From Philosophical Text to Scene‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 196 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503605623.‎

‎Summary Migrations of Concepts brings together the results of an experimental research on the migration of philosophical concepts into the languages of the arts. The monograph explores the intersection of philosophy, literature and art and presents a theoretical-performative investigation on the transposition of philosophical contents into theatrical and musical performance. Starting with Giambattista Vico and Samuel Beckett, a first part elaborates the paradigm of the ?Disbelonging' of the I - which is the condition of the I who realizes that it is both its own and foreign at the same time -, shows how this is transposed into the language of sounds, and reflects on the significance of public performance of a philosophical work. The second and third parts further explore the transposition of philosophical thought into art by presenting the theatrical performances written and directed by the author. More specifically, the book contains the text of two theatre readings on Vico and Gorgia, and the libretto of two melologues dedicated to Hegel and the Prince of Sansevero, with the corresponding scores of music composed by Rosalba Quindici. By exploring the boundaries of adaptation studies this monograph radically proposes a new and innovative way to study and communicate philosophical concepts. Introduction First Part. Beckettian Migrations De-powering of the Cartesian Cogito and ?Disbelonging? of the I: In the margin of De antiquissima of Giambattista Vico Conceit and Collapse of the I: Becket and Geulincx The Ontopoietic Eye: Becket and Berkeley Percipi.

‎Lands of Saint Ambrose. Monks and Society in Early Medieval Milan‎

‎Summary This book is a history of Milan in the early medieval period. It investigates the political, social, and economic aspects of the transformation of the Roman world in one of its major centres. Its main theme is the role of monastic communities in this transformation. In the case of Milan a single monastery can be studied in great detail: the Benedictine community founded by Charlemagne, c. 789, next to the basilica in which St Ambrose himself was buried. Surprisingly, the impact which this important Carolingian foundation had upon the existing society of Milan has been underestimated by historians, partly because the history of the monastery has been studied apart from the history of the city. The book shows how successive generations of monks helped to change the social organisation of the city and much of its hinterland, largely through their substantial dealings in property as recorded in one of the most important surviving collections of early medieval charters. This thesis challenges the views of earlier generations of scholars who downplayed the role of the monastery in the mechanisms of social change, in favour of a 'new' mercantile class.

‎UN ART NOUVEAU. M TAMORPHOSES DU BIJOU //// A NEW ART METAMORPHOSES OF JEWELRY 1880-1914‎

‎, Norma ditions, 2023 HB, 280 x 220 mm, 208 pages, 250 illustrations, EN-FR edition, NEW / NOUVEAU, . ISBN 9782376660750.‎

‎ From the end of the 19th century, jewelry became an important vector of formal experimentation and plastic innovation of its time, thanks to the development of knowledge of stone, cutting and setting techniques. Books and exhibitions allow us to highlight this leading decorative art which accompanies Romanticism in its final stages before adopting the emerging Art Nouveau repertoire. The landscapes of the soul, the dreams and nightmares of symbolism imagined by Lalique, Fouquet or Carabin, as well as the forms and motifs borrowed from the Renaissance of Eug ne Grasset or Lucien Gaillard give way to a fauna and flora from a new biological, aquatic and underwater imagination, nourished by the popularization of great scientific discoveries and evolutionary thought. To better represent nature, Vever, Lalique, Boucheron, Fouquet and Nocq introduced new materials: horn, feather, a more diverse range of semi-precious stones. The study of plants as well as minerals and crystals, notably thanks to the magnificent plates created by the biologist Ernst Haeckel, also opened the way, from the 1900s, to a new decorative order revealing the crystalline structure of microorganisms. This restrained geometrization opens the field of abstraction and the Art Deco movement which will assert itself from the 1910s before triumphing in the 1920s. Accompanied by a glossary of materials and techniques and biographical notes of the main actors of period, this work allows us to understand the richness and stylistic evolution of jewelry and to place it in the art of its time.‎

‎Summary Pourquoi collecter et exposer textiles, verreries, c ramiques, meubles ou bijoux, t moins d'un pass pr industriel, au moment m me o l'av nement de la machine et l'expansion des march s bouleversent les processus de fabrication et de commercialisation? Suivant quelles modalit s la pr sentation de ces artefacts a t articule aux productions contemporaines, dans un contexte de concurrence internationale stimule par les expositions universelles ? Pens s au d part comme des ensembles vocation p dagogique, mais int grant souvent des vises conservatrices, les muses d'art industriel et d'art d coratif sont porteurs d'identit s multiples, ce qui explique l' volution des d nominations, leurs vicissitudes et leur existence parfois ph m re. Les travaux d sormais nombreux sur la mus ologie, et sur les arts d coratifs placent ces institutions au c?ur du questionnement autour de l'origine et des finalit s des collections publiques, en tant que lieux de formation pratique et de d bats thoriques sur les relations entre l'art, l'industrie et le march . Cet ouvrage est le premier en France consacr l'histoire des muses d'art industriel et d coratif. Il entend offrir un large panorama de cette typologie telle qu'elle s'est d cline dans l'Europe enti re, depuis son apparition dans les ann es 1830, jusqu' son puisement dans les premi res d cennies du XXe sicle. Seule une enqu te collective pouvait rendre compte des sp cificit s des situations nationales et de la diversit des processus de valorisation d'objets au statut intrins quement incertain, entre fonction d'usage, valeur patrimoniale et mod les d'apprentissage.
