Somos cuerpo. Y nada más. Al margen de consideraciones filosóficas o religiosas el cuerpo, orgánica y psicológicamente,nos define ante nosotros y ante los demás. Si el Verbo, es decir, Logos, necesito hacerse carne para visibilizarse, la carne, Erosmayormente, quiso sacudir su naturaleza mortal materializandose a traves de la literatura y el arte. El poema mas antiguo quese conoce es una fabula escrita sobre una tabla sumeria hace aproximadamente 4.000 años y trata de la declaracion de amorde una religiosa a un monarca. El verso inicial, Novio de mi corazon, amado mio, ofrece pistas de lo que vendra despues:una viscera y un tema inmortales, corazon y amor dando forma y fondo a la poesia. El texto habla sin tapujos del goce tactil delos enamorados, y cierra con otra referencia corporal: extiende su mano sobre el como la tapa de una copa. Desde aqui a losversos de Caballero Bonald o de John Ashbery, el cuerpo ha procurado y conseguido encontrar acomodo en la literatura.Las manos marcan asimismo el inicio del arte. Las impresas en las paredes de algunas cuevas prehistoricas ubicadas en elnorte de España se consideran las pinturas rupestres mas antiguas. Su edad roza los 41.000 años. Luego llegaron las Venusprehistoricas, como la de Willendorf, que a sus 28.000 años aun levanta pasiones. El canon egipcio y griego, o el latino con suemblema intemporal mens sana in corpore sano, anticiparon la idealizacion matematica del hombre de Vitruvio, un canon derespeto y belleza que hoy esta herido y despiezado por performers como Marina Abramovic.De todo ello se ocupa el nuevo numero de Litoral. Antonio Muñoz Molina oficia de anfitrion de este cuerpo de palabras yobras artisticas. El punto de vista de la Antigu?edad grecolatina corre por cuenta de Aurora Luque. El tratamiento que el arte hadispensado en los siglos xx y xxi es expuesto por Paloma Alarco y Blanca Montalvo, respectivamente. El cine se ha servido delsoma y la psique como nos cuenta Esteve Riambau valiendose de un clasico de la ciencia ficcion. Finalmente, hemos compuestoun peculiar cadaver exquisito con fotografias y textos de Luis Mateo Diez, Ioana Gruia, Justo Navarro, Sergio del Molino, Jose Luis Gonzalez Vera y Juan Manuel Villalba.

Título orginal: Casulos En la imaginación, hay una libertad infinita, que permite entrar y salir de la realidad, subir, volar, posar en el ahora, en el antes y en el después. Capullos brinda la posibilidad de imaginar sin palabras, solo con imagenes, y viajar Andre Neves nacio en Recife, region Nordeste de Brasil, en donde desarrollo sus primeras actividads en las artes plasticas y empezo a dibujar y pintar libros para niños.

Besides, it is also a brief criticism of the Quran coming from a truth seeker. Furthermore, the spring offers a subtle criticism, where, in the authors opinion, subtle may also be defined as something that practically goes unnoticed but actually is happening.El venero es una breve critica de la Biblia en donde aparecen etimologias que suelen ir acompañadas de epifanias. Ademas, tambien es una breve critica del Coran que procede de un buscador de la verdad.

"Pocas mentes hay tan brillantes como la de Fede Popgold.Las historias que conforman este libro son reales no porque hayan ocurrido necesariamente, sino porque nacen de la verdad de la mente y el corazon creativos de Fede. El siempre siente que hay mas para explorar; su mirada esta adelantada, en lo que viene, en lo que se puede crear.Los textos de este libro son reales, desprejuiciados, profundos, divertidos. No solo seran un hermoso espejo para los coetaneos, sino tambien un buen mapa para los adultos que deseen escuchar.Fede pasa por todos los temas de interes y analisis del mundo en que se vive a los 30, un mundo que compartimos a veces sin preguntar o acercarnos demasiado.Pero Fede es cercania.Escribe como habla y ese es su enorme poder, el de no disfrazar nada detras de alguna metafora conveniente" (Pata Liberati).

"El elemento central que atraviesa a los artistas que figuran en este libro es que han sido transformados por la guerra", subraya el periodista y editor de CNN en Español, Germán Padinger, y completa: "sus transformaciones han sido publicas y han tenido un impacto en sus comunidades y en sus obras". A traves de un recorrido por el arte de Hemingway, Picasso, Debussy y Riefenstahl, entre otros artistas, Padinger analiza de que manera fue representada la guerra por la literatura, la pintura, la musica y el cine, entre 1914 y 1945.

En el instante en que abres este libro, un niño te toma de la mano guiándote hacia el gran vestíbulo de un teatro. Desde allí puedes oír ecos de instrumentos musicales, voces modulando, los murmullos del publico. De pronto todo se interrumpe y sobreviene un silencio expectante. Se levanta el telon y desde tu butaca ves el perfil de una ciudad situada junto a un ancho rio. Un reflector dirige la luz a alguien que habla y rie sentado en el taburete de un piano, tocando unas notas. En ese instante comienza la historia Quien te llevo hasta alli es el hijo de ese señor que juega con el teclado. En torno a esa figura paterna van apareciendo actrices y actores cuya tarea es entretener al publico, dando vida a una historia contada en 21 cuadros. Cada cuadro lleva el nombre de una calle que indica el sitio donde las cosas ocurren. Alli actuan otros personajes que forman parte del elenco: tios, abuelos, actrices, actores, compositores, celebridades, politicos. El relato va revelando las razones por las que ese grupo de artistas creadores de espectaculos, se ven obligados a suspender sus proyectos y emigrar hacia nuevos escenarios, nuevas calles, otros rios. Lo que leeras es veridico y a la vez una parabola formada con escenas reales de la historia del espectaculo en Argentina y Mexico, que mucho vale la pena evocar y recordar. Al menos eso es lo que piensa ese niño, que ya de grande se dedica a contarla en este libro que tienes frente a ti.

En este empeño, colectivo de cubanos y foraneos aunados en un solo haz, se engrandecieron nuestros medios de comunicacion, nuestra cultura, y sus aportes hicieron de su obra un patrimonio comun.

One of the attractions of painting outdoors is the challenge of capturing the spirit of a place changing light, weather and transient conditions demand particular painting skills if they are to be interpreted effectively. Leading painter David Curtis works on location, in all weathers, observing and capturing the subtle effects of light and mood. Oil paint is as good for painting on site as it is for large-scale painting in the studio; it is remarkably responsive; can be applied in many different ways; and it allows time to assess and modify work in progress. In this fascinating book, David Curtis shows how he achieves such expressive and original results using drawings, paintings and stage-by-stage examples. He gives detailed explanations of his two main working methods for plein-air paintings and for studio compositions as well as plenty of helpful guidance and advice on choosing materials, exploring techniques, selecting ideas, composition, colour and tone and associated topics. Drawing skills and interpreting the qualities of light are other key issues that he deals with, while his wonderfully evocative landscapes, coastal scenes, interiors and figure compositions provide much inspiration.

Stopgap Measures presents an exciting selection of essays, interviews and shorter pieces on the work of American artist Mike Kelley (19542012) written over more than three decades by the noted art historian and cultural critic John C. Welchman.

This volume includes reflections on specific works, and features a signature series of pathbreaking essays on Kelleys innovations in photography and writing as well as explorations of major themes in his practice, research and thinking: physical comedy and verbal humor; memory; popular culture, dress-up and Americana; the uncanny; imaginative projection and dark fantasy; appropriation and giving; authorship and self-construction; and the artists littleremarked upon negotiation with the histories of and ideas about Asia. The book concludes with new essays on Kelleys engagement with animals and the nonhuman; and on the refrain disappearances that punctuate Kelleys career set in relation to specters of social catastrophe and nuclear annihilation.

Where is Charles Simonds? Throughout the 1970s, his diminutive Dwellings, tiny architectural ruins of an imaginary civilization, could be found throughout the crumbling infrastructure of downtown New York. Preoccupied with the relationship between the grown and the built, the archaeological and the urban, Simonds shared friendship and ideas with Gordon Matta-Clark and Robert Smithson. Like Lucy Lippard, with whom he lived during that decade, Simonds believed in combining art and activism, always preferring what he called the "real world" to the art world. Yet despite taking part in many of the seminal exhibitions and art events of 1970s New York, Simonds has left few traces on art history. In order to explain Simondss absence while simultaneously arguing for his central place within it, Jules Pelta Feldman reconsiders the decades self-conception, finding that Simonds exemplifies much of what has been ignored in 1970s artand much of what establishes it as a unique period of experimentation and possibility.
