Graves Alun: Tiles and Tilework of
Europe

Tiles and Tilework of Europe

This study overhauls canonical accounts of Surrealism, demonstrating how one woman artist expanded its activity and expression in bold new ways for the modern age

A Surrealist World

Dorothea Tanning

"This book presents a range of global, practice-based, case studies that conceptualise community formation in times of social and political turbulence as a process that emerges through local political activism and resistance. A truly interdisciplinary work at the intersection of visual culture, the built environment and poetics, it explores these individual acts of resistance and argues for a necessary inter-relation between politics, ethics and aesthetics. In doing so, it sets out to conceive a new poetics of 'us' and demonstrate how the formation of community in and through resistance, on a planetary scale, has the potential to introduce new models of social and cultural interaction"--

What does it mean to be governed and what does it mean to resist? Examining how communities form amidst social and political turbulence, this open access book presents four case studies that demonstrate the power of organic social formations over imposed order. Understanding this formation of community in terms of ‘ungovernability’ and a ‘poetics of resistance’, Ungovernable Spaces charts a movement from oppression, through transformation, into imagining, and finally emergence. Throughout the book, the authors engage methods of situated practice and related modes of writing and image-making to consider a range of global case studies: the destruction of the Mecca apartment building in Chicago’s South Side in 1952, following a decade of resistance from the building’s predominantly African American occupants; M.K. Gandhi’s practices of social activism including the Salt March protest of 1930, and the daily practice of spinning and intermittent fasts; the Ciudad Abierta (Open City), a radical pedagogical experiment started by a poet and an architect in Valparaíso, Chile in 1970; and, finally, the urban ecologies developing on either side of Belfast's ‘peace walls’ in the wake of the Troubles and 1998's Good Friday Agreement. Structured via four spatial configurations – the grid, the charkha, the constellation, and the cluster –each case study explores community formation through artistic and aesthetic practices that resist and unsettle forms of hegemonic order. A truly interdisciplinary work at the intersection of poetry, art and spatial practice, Ungovernable Spaces argues for the importance of ethics, aesthetics, imagination and ecology in developing, of necessity, a new poetics of ‘us.’ In doing so, it demonstrates how the formation of community in and through resistance has the potential to introduce new models of social and cultural interaction that make something new, something different, something unknown of the world.

Community Formation and the Poetics of Resistance

Ungovernable Spaces

The Porous Museum examines questions of museum practice, aesthetics and politics through a focused study of The National Museum of the Romanian Peasant in Bucharest. The museum has functioned successively as a museum of art, a communist museum, the headquarters of the communist secret police, and a museum of folk art. Gabriela Nicolescu traces the museum's spectacular biography and follows the transformation of its practices and aesthetics through three very different political regimes in the 20th and early 21st century: monarchist, socialist and post-socialist. Nicolescu's fascinating study starts with a focus on a dumped and smashed statue of the revolutionary figureheads Marx, Engels and Lenin in the museum's rear yard as an expression of the complicated journey of modern Romania. She considers questions of recycling and rupture, with some exhibits and practices carried over from one regime to another, whilst others have been discarded in favour of the completely new. Through this process, the museum can been seen as a microcosm of the wider nation state and the ways in which the past is remembered or rejected. The interdependency of politics, ethics and aesthetics that Nicolescu terms 'porosity' is an attribute of museums all over the world. Applying original anthropological research to key ethnographic museums in Romania and elsewhere in Europe, the book moves beyond regional and media stereotypes by arguing for the influence of local oral histories on national history.

"Picturing Aura is the first book of its kind: an extended historical, anthropological, and philosophical study of efforts to visualize 'the human aura'"--

The remarkable history of efforts to visualize the human aura and the lives of its pictures in religion, science, art, and culture. Picturing Aura is the first book of its kind: an extended historical, anthropological, and philosophical study of modern efforts to visualize the hidden radiant force encompassing the living body known as our aura. This rich, interdisciplinary study by Jeremy Stolow chronicles the rise and global spread of modern instruments and techniques of picturing aura, from the late nineteenth century to the present day, exploring how its images are put to work in the diverse realms of psychical research, esotericism, art photography, popular culture, and the New Age alternative medical and spiritual marketplace. At their core, pictures of auras are boundary objects that operate simultaneously in multiple conceptual and practical realms, serving varying goals of making art, healing bodies, and exploring the cosmos. Drawing on extensive archival as well as field research, Stolow reconstructs a global history of this boundary-crossing enterprise through its evolving media technologies, markets, and cultural arenas. It is a story shaped through exchanges among professionals and amateurs, scientists and occultists, countercultural artists and entrepreneurs, metropolitans and hinterland figures. With more than 60 full-color illustrations, Picturing Aura brings to light a remarkable, entangled history of picture-making that challenges settled assumptions about religion, art, and science.

A Visual Biography

Picturing Aura

"Macfarlane provocatively upends the standard myth that Group f.64 was uninterested in the political. By showing how the photographers’ ethos of 'purity' constituted a deeply political stance, she reveals just how much the photographs were embedded in the politics of their day. An archivally rich, beautifully written, groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of the era’s photography."—Cara A. Finnegan, author of Picturing Poverty: Print Culture and FSA Photographs "The account of the influential Group f.64 we’ve been waiting for! In a compelling, complex study of modernism that expands our understanding of photography and the political, Macfarlane captures the texture of the interwar era, examining the seemingly mundane affairs of artists—Edward Weston’s diet, Imogen Cunningham’s fertilizer chemistry—as they intersect with debates on race, labor, settler colonization, technology’s role, and human subjectivity, which resonate into the present."—Lauren Kroiz, author of Cultivating Citizens: The Work of Art in the New Deal Era and Creative Composites: Modernism, Race, and the Stieglitz Circle "Politics Unseen&nbsp;is an important and timely volume, with lessons for our age. Ellen Macfarlane challenges us to reconsider the political possibilities of form. How might an image of hard-won artistic beauty strengthen and soften our entry into social and ecological worlds? How might aesthetically improved vision encourage our moral transformation, and do so without anesthetizing our outrage? These concerns feel as urgent as ever in Macfarlane’s account of 1930s California photography, told with vibrant new detail, sensitivity, and nuance."—Jennifer Jane Marshall, author of Machine Art, 1934 "Ellen Macfarlane’s excellent new book is a must-read for anyone interested in Depression-era photography in the United States. Group f.64 is almost always described in terms of art photography and technique, but as Macfarlane points out, f.64 members were deeply engaged politically, and in fact understood their work as providing a way to&nbsp;see&nbsp;politics. This analysis, smart and cogent, opens up a whole new way to think about what socially engaged photography means in the United States—never has it been more important to understand how politics can be pictured and, at the same time, remain unseen."—Terri Weissman, Associate Professor of Art History, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign &nbsp;

Representation considers the cultural value, processes, and semiotics of architectural images. Beyond typical plans, sections, diagrams, and models, architectural representation carries historical and political weight. In the digital age, architectural representation has proliferated. Representation disrupts this exhaustive pace with thoughtful and rigorous investigations of image production in architecture. Contributors explore representation in its many forms of signification, including the instrumentality of drawings and models that anticipate buildings, the representation of buildings and the ideas exemplified in their fragments, and the manner in which buildings embody, reinforce, and promote cultural constructs such as inequity and oppression. Discourse is a biannual publication series that presents timely themes on and around architecture. A selective compilation of essays, interviews, roundtable discussions, featured exhibitions, photo-essays, and collateral materials-such as architectural models, sketches, and built works-highlight architectural culture, practice, and theory.

Futurism

Fashion in the French Revolution looks at the elaborate dress of French society and the court in the 1780s and the way in which plain clothing became identified with "democracy". Illustrated in full color throughout and with many new additional images, this extensively revised edition of Fashion in the French Revolution looks at the elaborate dress worn by the elite in the 1780s, and then the impact on people's lives and clothing as a result of the events of 1789 onwards. This was a period in which, for the first time, what one wore was radically affected by revolutionary politics and plain clothing became identified with 'democracy'. Award-winning dress historian Aileen Ribeiro skilfully weaves analysis of paintings, engravings, fashion plates and extant garments to reveal how clothing at all levels in society changed as a result. This new edition, as relevant, informative and provocative as when it was first published in 1988, brings the classic Fashion in the French Revolution to a new generation of readers interested in dress history, fine art, European 18th century history, and all those interested in intelligent, articulate and informed discussion of the period.
