(H/B) INFORMAL ARCHITECTURES

Παρουσίαση

Informal Architectures is a compilation of new and classic writing and visual art exploring spatial culture in modernity post-9/11. The work gathered here creates an alternative perspective on the built environment through contemporary culture. Particular attention is paid to spaces that are in some way temporary, contingent, marginal or fictional in order to critically analyse the meaning of art, and to provide a tenable counter-narrative to architecture's dominant ideologies concerning technological imperatives and the monumental.
This book examines theories of space from descriptive, analytic and creative perspectives in art, theory and literature and features works and text by such internationally acclaimed artists as Dan Graham, Marjetica Potrc, Gordon Matta-Clark, David Hoffos, Jimmie Durham, Luanne Martineau, William Pope.L and Rita McKeough.
Anthony Kiendl is Director of Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art in Winnipeg, Canada. In 2007 he was Leverhulme Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Arts, Middlesex University, London, and was formerly Director of Visual Arts and Walter Phillips Gallery at The Banff Centre. His curatorial practice has theorised weakness, pathos, failure and nostalgia as responses to Modernism. Kiendl has lectured internationally and his writing on art has been published in Parachute, FUSE, Flash Art, and Canadian Art. (From the publisher)
