Estamos luchando por nuestra cultura’: artistas ucranianos se dirigen a la Bienal de Venecia

 

Artistas ucranianos se dirigen a la 59 Bienal de Venecia.

“La idea de Rusia es eliminar Ucrania y eliminar la cultura ucraniana. Si no tiene cultura, Ucrania no existe”.

Ese fue el sentimiento que impulsó a Pavlo Makov, el artista ucraniano oficial de la 59 Bienal de Venecia, a viajar a Italia para instalar su exposición.

Makov y su equipo, incluida la curadora Maria Lanko, estaban decididos, dijo Pavlov, a “mostrar que estamos aquí y existimos. No estoy citando a Churchill directamente, pero habló sobre las cosas por las que estamos luchando, y estamos luchando por nuestra cultura, nuestra forma de ver el mundo”.

El trabajo de Makov se llama Fuente del agotamiento: una pirámide de 78 embudos de bronce colocados en niveles, a través de los cuales fluye el agua. La idea original surgió en 1995, cuando, debido a graves inundaciones, la ciudad de Kharkiv se quedó sin suministro de agua durante varias semanas.

Best Abstract Art Book of 2020

 

A leading authority on the subject presents a radically new approach to the understanding of abstract art, in this richly illustrated and persuasive history.

This wide-ranging examination incorporates work from Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America, as well as Europe and North America.

In his fresh take on abstract art, noted art historian Pepe Karmel chronicles the movement from a global perspective, while embedding abstraction in a recognizable reality.

Karmel builds this fresh approach to abstract art around  five inclusive themes: body, landscape, cosmology, architecture, and man-made signs and patterns. In the process, this history develops a series of narratives that go far beyond the established  figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art.

Each narrative is complemented by a number of featured abstract works, arranged in thought-provoking pairings with accompanying extended captions that provide an in-depth analysis.

This wide-ranging examination incorporates work from Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America, as well as Europe and North America, through artists ranging from Wu Guanzhong, Joan Miró, Jackson Pollock, to Hilma af Klint, and Odili Donald Odita. Breaking new ground, Karmel has forged a new history of this key art movement.

Pop Art Critical History

 

Pop Art: A Critical History chronicles one of the most controversial art movements of the century.

An invaluable chronology of the major '60s exhibitions by Pop Art artists.

The anthology draws from a great range of sources, from the leading art magazines and art historical journals to newspapers and news magazines such as the New York Times, Life, and Newsweek.

What emerges from this rich cross-section of critical and journalistic commentary is a fascinating view of the tumultuous rise of Pop art and its establishment as a major force in contemporary art.

A broad selection of articles traces the emergence of the movement itself in England and , as seen through the eyes of the working critics of the day.

The focus then narrows to present in-depth writings on the four major Pop artists: Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol, along with an examination of many other artists involved in the movement.

From reviews of the very first shows of many of these artists to interviews with them, to news stories about their collectors and their lifestyles, Pop Art : A Critical History represents the most complete and coherent record of Pop art yet published.

The book concludes with an invaluable chronology of the major '60s exhibitions by Pop artists. Among the contributors are Lawrence Alloway, John Coplans, Donald Judd, Max Kozloff, Gerald Nordland, Peter Plagens, Barbara Rose, Robert Rosenblum, John Russell, Gene Swenson, and Sidney Tillim.
