On the history and creation of ambigrams, by a pioneer of the practice

Hofstadter D: Ambigrammia

Ambigrammia

Between Creation and Discovery

An expansive consideration of the creative output of a unique twentieth-century master that brings a fresh perspective to his enigmatic and enduring work &nbsp; M. C. Escher (1898–1972) was born in the Netherlands and is known internationally for his self-described “mental images” that connect to mathematics and various branches of science. Considered a one-man art movement, he remained outside of the art establishment and is treasured today for his mind-bending works. His imagery explores the relationships between art and science, order and disorder, and logic and irrationality, and presents complex orchestrations of multidimensional alternate realities. &nbsp; Drawing from the Michael S. Sachs collection—the most extensive Escher holdings in the world—this overview of the artist’s work features more than five hundred objects, including prints, drawings, watercolors, printed fabrics, constructed objects, wood and linoleum blocks, lithographic stones, sketchbooks, and the artist’s working tools. Offering new insights into Escher’s iconic and idiosyncratic work, scholarly essays discuss the artist’s background and creative practice, examine the mathematical underpinnings of his use of geometric models, and ponder the ways his meticulously crafted images are filled with the element of wonder. &nbsp; Distributed for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Rethinking Art's Histories

Transcultural things examines four sets of artefacts from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: maps pointing to Poland-Lithuania's roots in the supposedly 'Oriental' land of Sarmatia, portrayals of fashions that purport to trace Polish culture back to a distant and revered past, Ottomanesque costumes worn by Polish ambassadors and carpets labelled as Polish despite their foreign provenance. These examples of invented tradition borrowed from abroad played a significant role in narrating and visualising the cultural landscape of Polish-Lithuanian elites. But while modern scholarship defines these objects as exemplars of national heritage, early modern beholders treated them with more flexibility, seeing no contradiction in framing material things as local cultural forms while simultaneously acknowledging their foreign derivation. The book reveals how artefacts began to signify as vernacular idioms in the first place, often through obscuring their non-local origin and tainting subsequent discussions of the imagined purity of national culture as a result.

Resisting from Morocco's Margins explores the socio-political context in which Ahmed Amrani's oil-on-paper painting Protesta (1969) was made, specifically, the Rif Revolts of the late 1950s.

Transdisziplinäre Popkulturstudien

Popkultur und politische Populismen stehen in einem komplexen Verhältnis zueinander: Popkultur ist Seismograph politischer Entwicklungen, Artikulationsraum politischer Positionen und eine wichtige Instanz für die Herausbildung politischer Identitäten. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fragen mit besonderer Dringlichkeit nach Wechselwirkungen, Passungen und Widersprüchen: In welcher Weise bedient sich einerseits der Populismus popkultureller Strategien, etwa zur Vermittlung politischer Botschaften oder zur Personalisierung von Inhalten? Wo und wie tragen andererseits popkulturelle Medientexte wie Musik, Film oder Literatur und popkulturelle Akteur*innen zur Entstehung und Verbreitung populistischer Positionen bei?

A major reevaluation of a towering figure in twentieth-century art and the relationship of his sculpture to the crisis of nationalism in modern Europe &nbsp; Figures of Crisis examines the neglected decade of artwork that separates the surrealist experiments of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) from his iconic postwar sculptures, revealing the connection between a famous artistic crisis in modern art and the crisis of national identity in modern Europe. In 1935, Giacometti abruptly abandoned his early abstract objects and devoted himself to sculpting portrait busts and minuscule figurines, many no larger than a fingernail. Joanna Fiduccia reimagines this fragmentary and inconspicuous body of work as the pivotal phase in his career, which registered the erosion of interwar democratic values and the searching questions this period posed for the future of modern sculpture. &nbsp; Challenging previous explanations of Giacometti’s return to figuration, Fiduccia argues that his figures gave form to the experience of social breakdown during the rise of fascism through their turbulent surfaces, unsettling generality, dramatic reduction of scale, and compulsive repetition. This fresh account, told through the philosophical, political, and aesthetic thought of Giacometti’s time, shows how ideologies of nationalism generated the problems of selfhood at the heart of modernism.
