Louisa Clement: Remote Control by Stefan Gronert; Andreas Beitin; Louisa Clement

$45.00 NZD

Category: Artists | Reading Level: near fine

The photographs, videos, installations, sculptures, and new VR works by Louisa Clement (*1987) deal with phenomena related to a sense of disturbance in times of political and social inse- curity. Clement's investigations prove to be as seductive as they are cryptic: What is a human being in a digital ag e in which the body's integrity is increasingly questioned through vehement medical and technological interventions? In an almost surreal manner, Clement's detailed photographs conjure up a new image of the body that also represents the ambivalent vision of a "new human being." With the help of her photographs, taken with smartphone cameras, she examines not only the medium's ability to reproduce images, but also the reality of the technologically modifi ed human. This publication is a companion to Louisa Clem- ent's fi rst museum exhibition. ...Show more

Gauguin by Belinda Thomson

$14.00 NZD

Category: Artists | Series: World of Art Ser. | Reading Level: very good

Paul Gauguin achieved a high public profile during his lifetime, and was one of the first artists of his generation to achieve international recognition. But his prominence has always had as much to do with the dramatic events of his life - his self-imposed exile on a remote South Sea island, his turbul ent relationships with his peers - as with the appeal of his art. Belinda Thomson gives a comprehensive and accessible account of the life and work of one of the most original artists of the late 19th century. Gauguin's work - painting, sculpture, prints and ceramics - is discussed in the light of his public persona, his relations with his contemporaries, his exhibitions and their critical reception. Belinda Thomson reveals Gauguin's private world, beliefs and aspirations through his extensive cache of journals, letters and other writings. Fully updated throughout, drawing on the insights of thirty years of scholarship since its first edition, Thomson's text remains the best introduction of this controversial and often contradictory artist. ...Show more
