  • 1ART HISTORY & CRITICISM

    ARTIFICIAL HELLSParticipatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorshipby Claire Bishop

    Artificial Hells is the first historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged participatory art, also known as social practice. Bishop follows the trajectory of twentieth-century art and examines key moments in the development of a participatory aesthetic. The book concludes with a discussion of long-term educational projects by such contemporary artists as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tania Bruguera, and Paul Chan, among others. Artificial Hells calls for a less prescriptive approach to art and politics, and for more compelling and bolder forms of participatory art and criticism.

    An essential title for contemporary art history scholars and students. Library Journal

    ANYWHERE OR NOT AT ALLPhilosophy of Contemporary Artby Peter Osborne

    Developing the stance that contemporary art is post-conceptual art, Osborne assesses art from a number of perspectives, including: the multiplicity of modernisms; conceptual abstraction; digitalization; and the institutional and existential complexities of art-space and art-time, among others. Osborne also maps out the conceptual space for an art that is both critical and contemporary in the era of global capitalism.

    Impassioned yet analytical, Osborne delivers a politically astute discourse in a prose highly pleasurable for its clarity. It is essential

    JACOB HASHIMOTO Superabundant AtmospheresEdited by Luca Massimo Barbero

    Jacob Hashimoto is probably best known for his installations. He simulates nature without pretending to replicate it, and redefines Japanese screen painting with his assemblages of paper kites in undulating, interactive compositions. His works convey an ephemeral wonder, enthralling the viewer with their continuously shifting illusion of light, space, motion, and sense of flight. Hashimotos crafting by hand is central in his works, and the resulting pieces embody the rhythm of repetitive execution given by the tying and knotting involved in their making. While examining Hashimotos kite creations, this book also references the meta-history of contemporary art.Rizzoli TR 978-88-3171-645-1 144 pp. $40.00/$46.00 Can. Exam Copy: $20.00

    BAD BOYMy Life On and Off the Canvasby Eric Fischl and Michael Stone

    Renowned artist Eric Fischl explores his coming of age, and his search for a fresh narrative style in the highly charged and competitive New York art world in the 1970s and 1980s. With such notorious and controversial paintings as Bad Boy and Sleepwalker, Fischl joined a world of fashion, fame, cocaine, and alcohol that threatened to undermine all he had achieved.The same observational frankness that imbues his paintings makes this

    a brave and candid book. Its also, in many ways, a painful book: hes such a deft portraitist that he captures himself at his most unknowing, wounded, prideful and self-contradictory.New York Times Book Review

    PUBLIC ART FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLSby Michele Cohen Photographs by Stan Ries

    Beyond the basics of classrooms and library, a good school in-spires students and teachers and enhances the learning envi-ronment through its architecture and its art. This principle is best demonstrated by the New York City school system, where a col-lection of more than 1,500 artworks ranges from stained glass by Tiffany Studios to contemporary works by Hans Hofmann, Faith Ringgold, and others.

    There is an extraordinary treasury of artwork, more than a centurys worth, within the walls of city schools. But because it is

    scattered through all boroughs, in buildings not typically open to the public, there has been no way until now to appreciate the breadth of

    the collection or the depth of it. The New York Times

    Hal Foster, author of the acclaimed Design and Crime, argues that a fusion of architecture and art is a defining feature of contemporary culture. He identifies a global style of architecture analogous to the international style of famed architects Le Corbusier, Gropius, and Mies. More than any other art, todays global style conveys both the dreams and the delusions of modernity. Foster demonstrates that a study of the art-architecture complex provides invaluable insight into broader social and economic trajectories in urgent need of analysis.
