  • Beautiful Penis
    BEAUTIFUL PENIS Quelle merveille que les hommes existent ! Une exposition de Barbara Polla et Jenny Mannerheim A la Galerie NUKE à Paris, du 12 mai au 14 juillet 2012 11rue Saint Anastase Paris 3è Dans son livre récemment publié chez Odile Jacob, intitulé Tout à fait Femme, Barbara Polla s’interroge, entre autres, sur la créativité fémi- nine, et cherche à explorer les raisons pour lesquelles, tout au long de l’histoire de l’art, les représentations glorieuses du corps et du sexe masculin par les artistes femmes sont si peu nombreuses, alors que les hommes auront représenté, et représentent encore, avec passion, le corps féminin et ses attributs sexuels. Jenny Mannerheim partage ces questionnements, et il en est issu cette exposition, qui présente une sélection – arbitraire comme le sont toutes les sélections –, de douze femmes artistes d’aujourd’hui qui travaillent sur le thème : Vanessa Beecroft (Italie), Leslie Deere (USA), Tracey Emin (Angleterre), Dana Hoey (USA), Katerina Jebb (Angleterre), Elena Kovylina (Russie), Sarah Lucas (Angleterre), Joanna Malinowska (Pologne), Maro Michalakakos (Grèce), Sabine Pigalle (France), Michaela Spiegel (Autriche) et Ornela Vorpsi (Albanie). Tracey EMIN, TOO BIG, Appliquéd and emboidered calico, 38 9/16 x 33 11/16 in. (98 x 85.5 cm), 2001 © The artist, Courtesy White Cube Pascal Quignard, dans Le sexe et l’effroi, souligne combien « la vision du sexe masculin est terrifiante, même dans les sociétés où son osten- tation la rend banale et sa fréquence dérisoire » et explore la dualité mentula / fascinus (pénis/phallus) chez les Romains, cette « sémantique des deux états » concrétisée chez les romains par la distinction entre l’homo (homme) et le vir (l’homme en érection, l’homme dans le désir), sémantique abondamment reprise par Bruce Nauman.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Abigail Lane Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) Victoria Miro Gallery, 4 October – 10 November 2001 The exhibition is organized by the Milton Keynes Gallery in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella The Victoria Miro Gallery presents a major solo exhibition of work by Abigail Lane. Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) extends her preoccupation with the fantastical, the Gothic and the uncanny through a trio of arresting and theatrical installations which are based around film projections. Abigail Lane is well known for her large-scale inkpads, wallpaper made with body prints, wax casts of body fragments and ambiguous installations. In these earlier works Lane emphasized the physical marking of the body, often referred to as traces or evidence. In this exhibition Lane turns inward giving form to the illusive and intangible world of the psyche. Coupled with her long-standing fascination with turn-of-the-century phenomena such as séances, freak shows, circus and magic acts, Lane creates a “funhouse-mirror reflection” of the life of the mind. The Figment explores the existence of instinctual urges that lie deep within us. Bathed in a vivid red light, the impish boy-figment beckons us, “Hey, do you hear me…I’m inside you, I’m yours…..I’m here, always here in the dark, I am the dark, your dark… and I want to play….”. A mischievous but not sinister “devil on your shoulder” who taunts and tempts us to join him in his wicked game. The female protagonist of The Inclination is almost the boy-figment’s antithesis.

Abstract The aim of my research is to demonstrate how a practice of hand made books based on the materiality of the photographic print and photo-reprography, could engage with notions of touch in the digital age. We take for granted that most artists’ books are made from paper using lithography and bound in the codex form, yet this technology has served neither producer nor reader well. As Hayles (2002:22) observed: We are not generally accustomed to thinking about the book as a material metaphor, but in fact it is an artifact whose physical properties and historical usage structure our interactions with it in ways obvious and subtle.

  • Alberto Giacometti: a Biography Sylvie Felber
    Alberto Giacometti: A Biography Sylvie Felber Alberto Giacometti is born on October 10, 1901, in the village of Borgonovo near Stampa, in the valley of Bregaglia, Switzerland. He is the eldest of four children in a family with an artistic background. His mother, Annetta Stampa, comes from a local landed family, and his father, Giovanni Giacometti, is one of the leading exponents of Swiss Post-Impressionist painting. The well-known Swiss painter Cuno Amiet becomes his godfather. In this milieu, Giacometti’s interest in art is nurtured from an early age: in 1915 he completes his first oil painting, in his father’s studio, and just a year later he models portrait busts of his brothers.1 Giacometti soon realizes that he wants to become an artist. In 1919 he leaves his Protestant boarding school in Schiers, near Chur, and moves to Geneva to study fine art. In 1922 he goes to Paris, then the center of the art world, where he studies life drawing, as well as sculpture under Antoine Bourdelle, at the renowned Académie de la Grande Chaumière. He also pays frequent visits to the Louvre to sketch. In 1925 Giacometti has his first exhibition, at the Salon des Tuileries, with two works: a torso and a head of his brother Diego. In the same year, Diego follows his elder brother to Paris. He will model for Alberto for the rest of his life, and from 1929 on also acts as his assistant. In December 1926, Giacometti moves into a new studio at 46, rue Hippolyte-Maindron. The studio is cramped and humble, but he will work there to the last.

  • Studio International Magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’S Editorial Papers 1965-1975
    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.

  • Eduardo Paolozzi's Psychological Atlas*
    Eduardo Paolozzi’s Psychological Atlas* JOHN-PAUL STONARD Eduardo Paolozzi compiled his collage book Psychological Atlas while living in Paris in 1949 and discovering, as he put it, the “relics of the prewar Dada and Surrealist movement.” Preserved as an archival item, Psychological Atlas is rarely seen; in a poor physical condition, it is kept together by yellowing scotch tape and desiccated glue. Its appearance approximates Paolozzi’s own definition of the modern relic as something “fortuitous and ephemeral, somewhat dusty, pathetic, and absurd, like the votive crutches and other macabre objects that the beneficia - ries of miraculous cures have left in a shrine like that of Lourdes.” 1 Psychological Atlas is clearly a homage to the remnants of Surrealism, made as Paolozzi was meeting such figures as Tristan Tzara and Alberto Giacometti, with the knowledge that the movement was drawing its last collective breath. 2 The psychology Paolozzi surveys in his collage book is that of popular imagery: robots, animals, landscapes, bodybuilders, politicians, ethnographic images, industrial architecture, film stars, and the whole assortment of sensa - tional or exotic material to be found in illustrated newspapers, from the Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung to Life magazine. A number of montages evoke Surrealist ethnographic assemblages, but the tone is modified by the inclusion of a collaged television set on the opening page and a color image of an American city a few pages further on. Scenarios created by cut-out figures past - ed onto strange settings evoke scenes of contemporary life, using familiar methods of Surrealist disjunction. Other tableaux are more bewildering, show - * This essay is derived from a paper given at the Contemporary Art Workshop at the University of Chicago, February 2010.

The influence and inspiration of other haiku poets, in Britain and, indeed, around the world, has been an immense asset. They have loaned me much essential reading material, walked with me on desolate mountain-tops, and in sharing their enthusiasm they have brought joy to my life.

(1100 x 245.7 x 200.7 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.728 While arboreal imagery has dominated Giuseppe Penone’s sculptures across his career, monumental bronzes of storm- blasted trees have only recently appeared as major themes in his work. Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument. ALG Opposite: LYONEL FEININGER American, 1871–1956 Self-Portrait, 1915 Oil on canvas 39 1/2 x 31 1/2 in. (100.3 x 80 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.756 Lyonel Feininger’s 1915 self-portrait unites the psychological urgency of German Expressionism with the formal structures of Cubism to reveal the artist’s profound isolation as a man in self-imposed exile, an American of German descent, who found himself an alien enemy living in Germany at the outbreak of World War I.
