Lucy Lippardová je vlivnou teoretickou umělkyní a aktivistkou, která zkoumá průnik umění, feminismu, politiky a místa. Její práce definovala naše chápání umění 20. století, zejména prostřednictvím jejího průkopnického výzkumu dematerializace uměleckých děl. Lippardová také zpochybňuje tradiční kritiku umění tím, že propojuje estetiku s etikou a politickým aktivismem. Její odkaz spočívá v její schopnosti přetvářet uměleckou kritiku a zároveň se aktivně zasazovat o společenskou změnu.
An experimental novel about mirrors, maps, relationships, about the ocean, elusive success and possible happiness. Weaving overeard dialogue, sexual encounters, and elements from the I Ching, Tarot, and palmistry, Lippard charts changing relationships among four people. Written in 1970, this novel brings to life political, feminist and aesthetic struggles of its time.
"Tourism, the largest industry in the world, is a significant force in contemporary society, with far-reaching economic, cultural, and geopolitical importance. Rather than seeking to represent tourism or travel itself, Universal Experience: Art, Life, and the Tourist's Eye considers art, history, and the social construction of places, spaces, and identities from the heightened perception of the tourist. Functioning as a guide book, a reader, and a souvenir, this lavish catalogue of the exhibition presents over 275 illustrations of thought-provoking artworks as icons and as tourist sites for exploration. A wide-ranging anthology of texts presents divergent routes and avenues through which to explore the symbols and cultural conventions created, deciphered, and disseminated by an increasingly mobile, international group of artists."--Jacket
The author reveals a continuum in materials, forms, symbols and imagery artists have employed over 1000s of years. She shows how contemporary art and prehistoric images are linked, with images of past times being 'overlaid' onto works of today's artists.
These earthworks were created for the gods, and Marilyn Bridges captures them as intended—from the heavens. Her photographic journey began with a flight over Peru, where she observed the vast spirals, "runways," and animal figures etched into the earth by the Nazca Indians. This aerial perspective unveiled the true scale of these enigmatic markings, inspiring her work. In the Yucatán jungle, Bridges photographed Mayan temples from low altitudes, revealing their grandeur amidst the dense foliage. Her images provoke deep reflections on the interplay between ancient cultures and the natural world, highlighting the geometric harmony of these sites against the encroachment of modernity. Her American aerial landscapes showcase a variety of forms and rhythms, emphasizing our responsibility to reconnect with the natural forces her photographs illustrate. In Britain, the closeness of monuments like Stonehenge to urban areas intensifies the contrast between ancient surveyors' intimate understanding of the land and contemporary development. Accompanying texts by geometrician Keith Critchlow, Nazca expert Maria Reiche, and critic Lucy Lippard enrich the narrative, offering insights into the significance of Bridges's work and the enduring power of these ancient sites.
