New Body Politic - Czech and Polish Women's Art of the 1990s
ISBN: 9783836482325 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on feminist and geopolitical understandings of new European societies through the study of Czech and Polish womens art of the 1990s. Two conflicting geopolitical tendencies in Central and Eastern Europe appeared in the 1990s: distancing the communist past as a necessary prerequisite for integration into Western structures (EU and NATO), and embracing communist memories as a tool for promoting wider recognition of the arts in this region. It is precisely there, in the geopolitical inconsistencies of the new Europe, I argue, that new visions of feminist subjectivity can be...

The 1960s Body Through Sculptural Movement and Static Dance - The Works of George Segal, Allan Kaprow, and Yvonne Rainer
ISBN: 9783639055542 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the major cultural upheavals of the 1960s was a blurring of the boundaries that defined traditional art disciplines. In particular, sculpture, performance art and dance came to share many of the same attributes that once made them distinct practices. The works of George Segal, Allan Kaprow and Yvonne Rainer intersect in ways that dramatically elucidate these issues during this period. This study explores these changes arguing that there was an inverse relationship between the performative nature of Segal sculptures and the non-expressive immobility of Kaprow and Rainer performances....
