In recent years, works by American Indian artists and filmmakers such as Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, Edgar Heap of Birds, Sherman Alexie, Shelley Niro, and Chris Eyre have illustrated the importance of visual culture as a means to mediate identity in contemporary Native America. This insightful collection of essays explores how identity is created and communicated through Native film-, video-, and art-making; what role these practices play in contemporary cultural revitalization; and how indigenous creators revisit media pasts and resignify dominant discourses through their work.

ISBN: 9781477638408 / Angielski / Miękka / 686 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As our world becomes smaller and our societies more familiar and accessible, the ideas and concepts that drive thought and expression in different cultures become a part of our lives as well. A close examination of Western and Indian art from the prehistoric era to contemporary times reveals contrasts as well as similarities. However, modern art suggests convergences between these two ideologically disparate societies as the world becomes increasingly interconnected. This method, however, requires a close study of different, unconnected cultures from the beginning of expression through a more...

Trace Retrace: Paintings, Nilima Sheikh
ISBN: 9789382381136 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nilima Sheikh's art practice from 1969 to 2012 forms the subject of Trace Retrace. The book is structured in three parts: visual, discursive, and a combination of the two. The largest narrative is visual - a selection from Nilima Sheikh's paintings in diverse formats, chosen to signal the artist's commitment to process, and to indicate the way her paintings slide into, work with and against each other, and propose a meandering seriality. The often extensive reproduction of details from these paintings introduces the unexpected, eliciting not only a flitting or looping gaze but also...

ISBN: 9789811166426 / Angielski / Miękka / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Written over the course of a year in response to the National Gallery Singapore's exhibitions, Madeleine Lee's volume of ekphrastic poetry enacts the ways in which language may relate to art. Each poem is a vignette of a show; words compose, question and revision the visual in novel forms of their own making. The sum of this interplay between word and image is more expansive than its parts, and speaks to the generative force of intersecting mediums.
