EL ARTE NO ES TAN HETERO COMO TE CONTARON.El segundo libro de la divulgadora Claramore (Un Van Gogh en el salón) y la primera historia del arte LGTBIQ+ contada como un periódico.Se dice que el arte es la casa de todos, aunque durante siglos se excluyo a quienes no seguian los estandares. Este libro muestra como el colectivo LGTBIQ+ ha transformado el mundo a traves de las artes desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad.Con cada capitulo inspirado en un color distinto de la bandera arcoiris, Claramore explora la obra de artistas como Toulouse Lautrec, Rubens, Hilma af Klimt o Natalie Barney y su impacto en la sexualidad, las disidencias, la salud, el orgullo, la espiritualidad o el racismo a lo largo de la historia. Combinando artes plasticas, fotografia o escultura, Nos recordaran ilumina la capacidad de crear, resistir y brillar mas alla de etiquetas y escandalos.Para cualquiera que haya sentido que no encajaba, que haya buscado referentes y que haya amado fuera de los margenes. Es para ti, que quieres mirar el arte con otros ojos.La historia del arte siempre ha tenido una seria carencia de puntos de vista. Este libro es un desafio necesario para que un panorama mas completo y justo llegue al publico. Miguel Angel Cajigal (El Barroquista)A menudo el arte ha sido un refugio para transmitir lo que la sociedad castigaba. Menos mal que Clara lo saca a la luz para que no olvidemos a quienes vinieron antes. Mikel Herran (PutoMikel)Emociona este paseo por los margenes de la historia del arte. Clara disecciona con soltura todo aquello que nos importa. Bernardo Pajares y Juanra Sanz (Arte Compacto)Sin duda, una lectura imprescindible sobre nuestra memoria colectiva.

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.

This book takes a profound look at exhibition design, or scenography, as an artistic medium. Mathilde Romans introductory essay highlights the pioneering historical contributions by designers and architects like Lily Reich, Franco Albini, Lina Bo Bardi, Carlo Scarpa, and others who revolutionized their discipline. It examines how during the 20th and early 21st century experimentation with the display, the frame, the pedestal, the picture rails has become an artistic act in its own right. In-depth interviews with thirteen renowned international artists and designersamong them Philippe Parreno, Rosa Barba, Berger&Berger, or Monster Chetwyndfurther highlight the relevance of scenography in contemporary culture. They show how artists integration of technical and perceptual aspects of exhibiting has fundamentally changed our understanding of art, thereby encouraging us to take a fresh look at art history.Mathilde Roman is an art historian (PhD Paris 1 Sorbonne) and art critic living in Nice.

Many of us are drawn to a life in the arts but daunted by how to balance that ambition with the very real need to pay rent and put food on the table. It is impossible to become an accomplished painter, composer, or novelist without spending time experimenting, making false starts, absorbing criticism, reading, talking, and moping about the house. All this time must be purchased, one way or another. Is the history of art and ideas just a history of rich kids?The answer, of course, is no. William Carlos Williams was a family doctor. Franz Kafka was an insurance man, as were Charles Ives and Wallace Stevens. Grace Hartigan temped. James Joyce mooched off his brother; Christopher Isherwood ingratiated himself with a wealthy uncle. Virginia Woolf and Louisa May Alcott were determined to make their writing pay no matter what. And their material circumstances had an impact on all of their creative outputs.From family money to jobs to colorful schemes, Mason Currey, author of the acclaimed Daily Rituals, explores both the well-worn and unlikely paths forward for the up-and-coming artist. Making Art and Making a Living is an entertaining and thought-provoking examination of the collision of creative ambitions with real-world necessities and of the messy, glorious, torturous compromises that gifted individuals have patched together when facing the eternal dilemma of an artistic life.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), its history is being told through 100 selected objects. Proposals from the entire institute were submitted in response to a "Call for Objects." The curators Klaus Nippert and Andrea Stengel provide historical classifications of the objects with regard to their role in research, teaching, and development. The catalogue shows numerous new images of the objects, photographed by Jonas Zilius and Amadeus Bramsiepe, and mediates between their current appearance and the historical perspectives raised. In the design, Christoph Engel interweaves text and image in a special form that invites you to take a visual stroll.Klaus Nippert studied history and philology, and has a doctorate in early modernism. In 2002, he became head of the University Archive Karlsruhe, since 2009 the KIT Archive. He has published in the fields of archival, historical, and literary studies.
