Gamwell Lynn: Conjuring the Void

Conjuring the Void

The Art of Black Holes

"Heartbeat Art is the first study of how artists have engaged with heartbeats from the 1960s to the present"--

An innovative history of heartbeats, pulse, and technoscience in the works of a wide international array of artists and composers. Heartbeat Art is the first study of how artists have engaged with heartbeats from the 1960s to the present, creating sophisticated and technological works that project in unique ways the circulatory processes of the body beyond its physical limits. Drawing on a long history of scientific and artistic experimentation, Claudia Arozqueta offers detailed case studies of heartbeat works by a wide range of international artists working at the interconnections of our bodies, art, and science and technology, including Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros, Heinz Mack, Brian O’Doherty, Teresa Burga, and many others. Technoscientific advances in monitoring heartbeats and pulses in the nineteenth century—such as René Laennec’s stethoscope, Étienne-Jules Marey’s sphygmograph and chronophotograph, and Willem Einthoven’s electrocardiograph—transformed the movements of the heart into audible and visual representations. Artists saw in the language of these scientific technologies a way of mingling the inner with the outer, the physical with the technological, and data with flesh. Using archival research, interviews, and correspondence, Arozqueta describes significant works in detail, discusses their contexts and development, and examines the larger classes and contours of this neglected area of artistic activity. Other artists in the volume include Éliane Radigue, Jean Dupuy, Linda Montano, Catherine Richards, Diana Domingues, Mona Hatoum, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and Christian Boltanski.

Thirty-Six Views of the Moon&nbsp;is a meditative collection of nighttime exposures made with book pages from texts referencing the night sky spanning the last ten&nbsp;centuries.Drink wine and look at the moon and think of all&nbsp;the civilizations the moon has seen passing by… — Omar Khayyam, 11th-century mathematician and poetTaking his cue from Omar Khayyam’s poem, Ebtekar produces a vignette of windows to the moon, inviting us to shift the direction of our gaze.&nbsp;In his process, the artist works with a photographic glass plate negative of the moon from the Lick Observatory archives in Northern California, treating each book page with Potassium ferricyanide and Ammonium ferric citrate (cyanotype) to make the surface of the page light-sensitive. Then, Ebtekar exposes the pages overnight in the UV-light emitted by the moon. This project challenges viewers to imagine the the moon looking at us, seeing ourselves as the objects of the moon’s billion-year gaze.&nbsp;There are four unique editions to the work, each produced under the moonlight of a season (i.e. winter, spring, etc.), and each with its own unique bibliography. The artist’s proof is the only edition made with moonlight from all four seasons over the span of one year.

"Rarely have I so much enjoyed reading art historical scholarship. Iskin's biography of Mary Cassatt is so engaging and offers new insights informed by various methodological concerns including feminism, network theory, and transatlantic studies."—Cécile Whiting, Chancellor’s Professor Emerita of Art History, University of California, Irvine “Here is an in-depth, highly detailed account of certain of Mary Cassatt’s lifelong transatlantic connections—social, professional, and political—and the important role they played in the legacy she left behind.”—Michelle Foa, author of&nbsp;Georges Seurat: The Art of Vision "Iskin’s book brings Mary Cassatt to life as never before for contemporary readers. It reframes her legacy and reinterprets her art in the context of the feminist politics of her era, shining a revelatory spotlight on Cassatt’s devotion to the cause of women’s suffrage and to the collaborative feminist friendships that sustained her."—Norma Broude, Professor Emerita of Art History at American University, Washington, DC "Ruth E. Iskin provides a provocative new account of Cassatt's transatlantic career as an artist, art collector, art advisor, suffragist, and champion of the avant-garde. This book deepens and complicates our understanding of the Impressionist’s multifaceted impact on modernity."—David M. Lubin, author of Grand Illusions: American Art and the First World War "Through meticulous research embedded in an engaging narrative, Ruth E. Iskin offers a complete story of Mary Cassatt’s cosmopolitan life and work. The book offers new perspectives on the artist’s legacy by highlighting her cultivation of robust transatlantic networks that supported her feminist ideals as an artist and advisor to prominent American collectors of her era."—Paula J. Birnbaum, author of&nbsp;Sculpting a Life: Chana Orloff between Paris and Tel Aviv "With pathbreaking new insights, Iskin’s ambitious book lays out Cassatt’s radically advanced views on women’s issues and the pursuit of making great art. Engagingly written and profusely illustrated, one finds no analysis of brush strokes here, but much insight into the artist’s subjects and settings, including Cassatt’s novel approach to painting mothers and children without recourse to the customary sentimentality."—Karen Offen, author of Debating the Woman Question in the French Third Republic, 1870–1920

Take a new look at the world around you. What is a planet? Is there life on Mars? What makes Earth so special? Questions about our Solar System have fascinated us for centuries. Based on the latest scientific research, The Story of the Solar System will help you see the planets around us in a whole new light. Using colourful and easy-to-follow infographics, each planet becomes a character with a story of its own to tell, from Jupiter the King of the Solar System to ice oddity Uranus and outlier planet-but-not-a-planet Pluto. As Space Scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock shows us, the story of Earth is best understood as part of its larger family, and The Story of the Solar System will bring that family to life. The BBC is the world's oldest and most recognised public service broadcaster, with a mission to enrich people's lives through programming that informs, educates and entertains. At the heart of that mission is great storytelling, and The Story Of guides use those tools to bring big subjects to life. With engaging infographics and illustration, accessible language and simple timelines, The Story Of will help you discover new worlds.
