Index 183 Robert Rauschenberg ​Edited​with​text​by​Leah​Dickerman,​Achim​Borchardt-Hume.​Text​by​ Yve-Alain​Bois,​Andrianna​Campbell,​Hal​Foster,​Mark​Godfrey,​Hiroko​ Ikegami,​Branden​Joseph,​Ed​Kr ˇcma,​Michelle​Kuo,​Pamela​Lee,​Emily​ Liebert,​Richard​Meyer,​Helen​Molesworth,​Kate​Nesin,​Sarah​Roberts,​ “Painting relates to both Catherine​Wood.​ The early 1950s, when Robert Rauschenberg launched his career, was art and life. Neither can be the heyday of the heroic gestural painting of Abstract Expressionism. Rauschenberg challenged this tradition, inventing new intermedia made. (I try to act in the forms of art making that shaped the decades to come. Published in conjunction with the inaugural 21st-century retrospective of this gap between the two.)” defining figure, this book offers fresh perspectives on Rauschenberg’s —Robert Rauschenberg widely celebrated Combines (1954–64) and silkscreen paintings (1962–64). It also illuminates lesser-known periods within Rauschenberg’s career, including his work of the early 1950s and that from the late 1960s onward, now compelling and prescient to contemporary eyes. Sixteen short essays by eminent scholars and emerging new writers focus on specific moments within Rauschenberg’s career, examining his creative production across an extraordinary range of media. Integrating new scholarship, documentary imagery and archival materials, Robert Rauschenberg is the first comprehensive catalogue of the artist’s career in 20 years, an important contribution to American cultural and intellectual history across disciplines and a necessary volume for anyone interested in art of the present day. Over the span of six decades, Robert​Rauschenberg (1925–2008) worked in an astonishing range of mediums including painting, sculpture, prints, photography and performance, and became one of the most transformative figures in postwar American culture. Working alone and in collaboration with artists, dancers, musicians and writers, Rauschenberg produced a vast body of work that continues to resonate today.

New York towers among world capi- tals, but the city we know might have reached even more stellar heights, or burrowed into more destructive depths, had the ideas of its greatest dreamers progressed beyond the drawing board. What is wonderfully grand might easily have been ingloriously grandiose; equally, what is blandly unremarkable might have become delightfully provocative. Nearly 200 proposals spanning 200 years encompass bridges, skyscrapers, master plans, parks, transit schemes, amusements, airports, plans to fill in rivers and extend Manhattan, and much, much more. Included are alternate visions for Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center, MoMA, the UN, Grand Central Terminal, the World Trade Center site and other highlights such METROPOLIS BOOKS as: Alfred Ely Beach’s system of airtight subway cars propelled via atmospheric pressure; Frank 9781938922756 u.s. $55.00 cdn $70.00 Lloyd Wright’s last project, his Key Plan for Ellis Island, on which he would have developed his Hbk, 11.5 x 8.5 in. / 408 pgs / 220 color / 220 b&w. dream city; Buckminster Fuller’s design for Brooklyn’s Dodger Stadium, complete with giant October/Architecture & Urban Studies geodesic dome to shield players and fans from the rain; developer William Zeckendorf’s Rooftop EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Airport, perched on steel columns 200 feet above street level, spanning from 24th to 71st Street, New York: Queens Museum, 04/09/17–06/17 Ninth Avenue to the Hudson River; John Johansen’s Leapfrog City proposal to create an entirely new neighborhood atop the tenements of East Harlem; and Stephen Holl’s Bridge of Houses, of- ALSO​AVAILABLE fering options from SROs to modest studios to luxury apartments on a segment of what is now Never Built Los Angeles the High Line. 9781935202967 Fact-filled and entertaining texts, plus sketches, renderings, prints and models drawn from ar- Hbk, U.S. $55.00 CDN $65.00 Metropolis Books chives across the country tell stories of ideas that would have drastically transformed the way we inhabit and move through the city. 4 artbook.com artbook.com 5 INCLUDES CONTRIBUTIONS BY n Gregory Corso n Anaïs Nin n Lawrence Ferlinghetti n Dwight Garner n Allen Ginsberg n Ethan Hawke n Derula Murphy n David Rakoff n Ian Rankin n Robert Silvers n Robert Stone n Kate Tempest n Jeanette Winterson n Nathan Englander Shakespeare and Company, Paris A History of the Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart Edited​with​introduction​by​Krista​Halverson.​Foreword​by​Jeanette​Winterson.​Epilogue​by​Sylvia​Whitman.​ A copiously illustrated account This first-ever history of the legendary bohemian bookstore in Paris interweaves essays and poetry from dozens of writers associated with the shop—Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, Ethan Hawke, Robert Stone and Jeanette of the famed Paris bookstore on Winterson, among others—with hundreds of never-before-seen archival pieces, including photographs of James Baldwin, William Burroughs and Langston Hughes, plus a foreword by the celebrated British novelist Jeanette its 65th anniversary Winterson and an epilogue by Sylvia Whitman, the daughter of the store’s founder, George Whitman. The book has been edited by Krista Halverson, director of the newly founded Shakespeare and Company publishing house. George Whitman opened his bookstore in a tumbledown 16th-century building just across the Seine from Notre- Dame in 1951, a decade after the original Shakespeare and Company had closed. Run by Sylvia Beach, it had been the meeting place for the Lost Generation and the first publisher of James Joyce’s Ulysses. (This book includes an illustrated adaptation of Beach’s memoir.) Since Whitman picked up the mantle, Shakespeare and Company has served as a home-away-from-home for many celebrated writers, from Jorge Luis Borges to Ray Bradbury, A.M. Homes to Dave Eggers, as well as for young authors and poets. Visitors are invited not only to read the books in the library and to share a pot of tea, but sometimes also to live in the bookstore itself—all for free. More than 30,000 people have stayed at Shakespeare and Company, fulfilling Whitman’s vision of a “socialist utopia masquerading as a bookstore.” Through the prism of the shop’s history, the book traces the lives of literary expats in Paris from 1951 to the present, touching on the Beat Generation, civil rights, May ’68 and the feminist movement—all while pondering that perennial literary question, “What is it about writers and Paris?” SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY PARIS 9791096101009 u.s. $34.95 cdn $45.00 Hbk, 6.25 x 9.5 in. / 384 pgs / 225 color.

Just five years publications in Japan—from the early influence of European and American pictorialism, the German later, Alvin Lustig designed his first jacket for the press, a cover for the 1941 edition of Henry Miller’s Wisdom Bauhaus and imperial military propaganda to the complete collapse and destruction of the country in modern art: of the Heart. Lustig worked with New Directions Publishing from 1941 to 1952, and each cover was different 1945. Then followed a new beginning: with the unique self-determination of a young generation of from the last. In 1956, Laughlin looked back on their collaboration: “opening each envelope from Lustig was photographers and visual artists highlighted by the Provoke style—an experimental Japanese photog- classic New a new excitement because the range of fresh invention seemed to have no limits.” In many ways, Lustig’s raphy magazine that had a profound effect on the medium in the 1970s and ‘80s—as well as protest designs helped New Directions establish its visual and literary identity: modern, distinctive, bold, cutting edge.

    Andro Wekua Sprüth Magers, Berlin April 27 – September 8, 2018 At the center of Andro Wekua’s new exhibition at Sprüth Magers is a life-size sculpture made of nickel silver - a silver-like alloy of copper, nickel and zinc - and a group of paintings. The untitled sculpture recalls Wekua’s earlier mannequin figures and continues their subtle formal vocabulary. The androgynous figure appears situated between the sexes; its body has a prepubescent, almost childlike look. On the back of the sculpture sits a small, black bronze Pegasus with purple wings—a futuristic element, childish toy and mythical reference in one. The physical proportions of this figure are realistic only at first glance; they are unthinkable in real life. The figure is a composite of various, non-related body parts. Before casting, it was composed of miscellaneous models of real limbs. Even the sculpture’s body posture probes the limits of what is physically possible. It recalls the Christ figure in Michelangelo’s unfinished Rondanini Pietà. In the original, the Virgin Mary stands behind her dead son and tries to hold him upright. Wekua’s figure stands in a pool; water runs from parallel slits on its arms and shoulders. Its silvery surface is in constant motion and yet it appears preserved in a state of perpetual stagnation. For all its overt artificiality, this figure seems to lead a psychological life of its own. It seems strangely, if improbably, alive. The sculpture is surrounded by a series of paintings. Wekua uses an architectural redefinition of the space to create his own viewing plane for the paintings while simultaneously reflecting the centrally-positioned sculpture as an object in space.

Published in conjunction with the first large-scale, multi-medium, posthumous retrospective of Willem de Kooning’s career, this publication offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the development of the artist’s work as it unfolded over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland before he moved to the United States in 1926, and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s. The volume presents approximately 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, covering the full diversity of de Kooning’s art and placing his many masterpieces in the context of a complex and fascinating pictorial practice.

It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics.

  • March 22-24 2012 Burbank, Ca
    @ Woodbury University DESIGN INNOVATION AT THE NEXUS OF WATER, ENERGY, AND CLIMATE CHANGE MARCH 22-24 2012 BURBANK, CA WELCOME! The Arid Lands Institute at Woodbury University (ALI), in partnership with the California Architectural Foundation (CAF), is proud to welcome you to the 2012 Drylands Design Conference. ALI and CAF share a vision for a future in which the landscapes and communities of the West are environmentally, culturally, and economically resilient in the face of climate change. Design of the built environment has an unrecognized potential to provide vision and leadership within the constraints of water, energy, and climate change in the American West. Retrofitting the West: Adaptation by Design brings together architects, landscape architects, artists and engineers with leading policy analysts, scientists, and environmental leaders to debate a range of design strategies for the future. The conference kicks off with an opening reception at the A+D Architec- ture + Design Museum in Los Angeles on World Water Day, Thursday, March 22. On view through April 26, the exhibition, DRYLANDS DESIGN IN AN AGE OF CHANGE: Visionary Proposals for a Water-Scarce Future, showcases selected work from CAF’s William Turnbull Drylands Design Competition. The exhibition presents a portfolio of adaptive strategies large and small, rural and urban, high tech and low-carbon. The exhibition is scheduled to travel in the US and abroad. In an innovative cross-disciplinary collaboration, ALI and UCLA’s Insti- tute of the Environment and Sustainability provided technical and policy advising to five ALI research award winners chosen from the CAF William Turnbull Drylands Design Competition.

  • Andro Wekua “Dreaming Dreaming” 515 West 24Th Street September 21 – November 3, 2012 Opening September 20, 6 – 8 Pm
    Andro Wekua “Dreaming Dreaming” 515 West 24th Street September 21 – November 3, 2012 Opening September 20, 6 – 8 pm Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Andro Wekua. Working in a diverse array of media, Wekua has developed a visual language grounded in the exploration of human experience through the subtle intersections of individual and collective memory, personal identity, and history. Looking to genres such as fantasy, science fiction, and horror, Wekua creates fantastical and often macabre tableaux, revealing the complex processes of reconstruction and fragmentation that continually inform the personal, social, and fictive experience of remembrance. “Dreaming Dreaming” presents a series of new painting, sculpture, and collage, as well as Wekua’s most recent film, Never Sleep with a Strawberry in Your Mouth II. The paintings included in the exhibition mark a notable break from Wekua’s earlier work, revealing a more uniformly abstract approach to imagery. A number of these recent compositions comprise a nearly monochromatic palette, containing only glimpses of the figurative elements and collage techniques characteristic of his earlier work. Using fully saturated colors to achieve moody, immersive environments and richly layered landscapes, Wekua moves between the sincerity of self-reflection and the synthetic imagery of pop culture. The sculptures on view include models of buildings Wekua remembers from his childhood in Sukhumi, a seaside town in Georgia that was devastated by civil war in the early 1990s. Conjuring images from memory and supplementing them with online research, Wekua creates sculptural representations of buildings, which contain blank spaces that correspond to what he refers to as “memory gaps.” Creating pictorial representations of the past to better comprehend and grapple with the present, Wekua meditates on the tenuous boundary between historical reality and the artificial construct of remembering, pointing to the inescapable fact that the past is always distorted by the subjectivity of memory.
