Confronting Images

Pages : 354
Book Description
According to Didi-Huberman, visual representation has an "underside" in which intelligible forms lose clarity and defy rational understanding. Art historians, he contends, fail to engage this underside, and he suggests that art historians look to Freud's concept of the "dreamwork", a mobile process that often involves substitution and contradiction.
The Shape of a Pocket
Author: John BergerPublisher: Vintage
ISBN: 030749084X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
From Booker Prize-winning author John Berger, a collection of essays that explores the relationship of art and artists and includes examinations of the work of Brancusi, Degas, Michelangelo, and Frida Kahlo, among others. The pocket in question is a small pocket of resistance. A pocket is formed when two or more people come together in agreement. The resistance is against the inhumanity of the New World Economic Order. The people coming together are the reader, me, and those the essays are about–Rembrandt, Paleolithic cave painters, a Romanian peasant, ancient Egyptians, an expert in the loneliness of a certain hotel bedroom, dogs at dusk, a man in a radio station. And unexpectedly, our exchanges strengthen each of us in our conviction that what is happening in the world today is wrong, and that what is often said about it is a lie. I’ve never written a book with a greater sense of urgency. –John Berger

Book Description
Anhand einer 3-D-Postkarte der Twin Towers von Joseph Beuys mit dem Titel Cosmos & Damian (1974) untersucht der Autor David Levi Strauss den Beuys'schen Prophetismus und die Maßnahmen seiner »Kunst der Heilung«. 27 Jahre bevor das World Trade Center zum Ziel einer internationalen fundamentalistischen Terrorgruppe erklärt wurde, hatte Beuys die Zwillingstürme frühzeitig als Symbole einer kalten »Todeszone« erkannt, in der das Kapital regiert. Diese verschwisterten Wunden der Gesellschaft benannte Beuys handschriftlich nach zwei historischen Wanderheilern: den arabischen Zwillingsbrüdern und christlichen Heiligen Cosmas und Damian. Auf den Spuren dieses ursprünglich indoeuropäischen Mythos reist Levi Strauss durch die Kunstgeschichte und füllt Beuys' »therapeutische Bildmagie« mit neuem Leben. Der Autor David Levi Strauss leitet das Graduiertenprogramm für Kunstkritik an der School of Visual Arts in New York. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
