"Balé literal, de Laura Lima, es una obra visual, performática, teatral y arquitectónica conformada por una multiplicidad de entes en forma de esculturas, pinturas y otros objetos. Realizado en 2019, el Bale literal tuvo lugar una unica noche en A Gentil Carioca, una galeria de arte del centro de Rio de Janeiro. En aquel momento la instalacion se construyo entre las dos salas de la galeria situadas a ambos lados de una interseccion de calles. Se colocaron dos bicicletas, una en cada edificio, y la fuerza generada por el pedaleo movia el hilo del que colgaban las obras y los objetos presentados. En 2023, Bale literal tuvo una segunda version y la estructura se adapto para instalarse en el interior del MACBA. La presente publicacion se inicia con un largo recorrido visual que funciona como un paseo inmersivo por el universo que propone Laura Lima mediante esta obra gigantesca, infinita y contra monumental, utilizando sus propias palabras. El libro incluye una conversacion entre Elvira Dyangani Ose y Laura Lima, asi como dos ensayos de Tania Rivera y Marcia Tiburi que permiten interpretar la obra en relacion con el contexto politico de Brasil, asi como darnos algunas pistas sobre los conceptos y las estrategias que la artista pone en juego al activar toda la maquinaria que rodea al Bale literal. La publicacion incluye, tambien, una descripcion y referencias visuales de todos los elementos que conforman la instalacion de Bale literal. La publicacion consta de una sola edicion en castellano e ingles, asi como de un opusculo con los textos en catalan."

Violeta Rodríguez Fernández, an Eastern Asian Studies graduate, with the litheness of an enviable youth, investigates the influences of Japanese art in the European plastic disciplines at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, focusing on painting. Impressionism, Postimpressionism and the remaining Avant-garde movements were under the influence of the country of the Rising Sun, and some names stand out especially, for example: Van Gogh and Miró, who succumbed to the spiritual suggestions that Eastern art portrays. Very curious is the case of Picasso, who throughout his life denied any Japanese influence. However, his work contradicts his words, as seen in this book. We find ourselves before a much-needed approach to the points of tangency between two very distant cultures, and in appearance, so different as the European and the Japanese. Lastly, this book deals with the Japanese traces in modern architecture, very present, as shown in the Schindler House.

L historiador de l art i museoleg Joaquim Folch i Torres va ser un professional tan actiu i polivalent que encara restaven per acabar d explorar alguns aspectes de la seva trajectoria cultural, com ara els del jove bibliotecari i el poeta noucentista, l expert museograf responsable de l exposicio de la col leccio d art romanic als museus de Barcelona, l estudios del mobiliari d altar medieval a Catalunya, o el renovador de la historiografia de l art catala que va posar en valor l epoca del Barroc a Catalunya.

A heartfelt collection of notes that offers parents guidance on how to raise their sons to be kind respectful and compassionate individuals

Este libro debe entenderse a partir de la ambigüedad de su título. Así, La comedia de lo sublime remite, por supuesto, a esa tradición, de estirpe idealista y romántica, que explora la dialéctica entre lo sublime y lo cómico. Pero, simultáneamente, quiere señalar la conversión en pura comedia de muchas de las sublimidades contemporáneas o en mera banalidad de algunas de las pretensiones cómicas. Es, por tanto, un libro de inversiones, que se despliega en cuatro secciones. La primera comienza con la inversión de lo sublime en lo cómico, para concluir en la actual inversión de ambos; la segunda parte de un posible neopintoresquismo en las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas, para acabar en el grotesco y truculento pintoresquismo del parque temático; la tercera se inicia con lo siniestro [Unheimlich] y su carácter amenazante, para finalizar en un siniestro fingido y simulado que sólo muestra la nostalgia de su ausencia; la cuarta y última sección está dedicada a investigar esas propuestas artísticas que intentan acercarse a lo real a través del dolor y la violencia, y que, en ocasiones, suelen obtener como resultado justamente lo contrario de lo que se proponen.
