Lucy Lippard is een invloedrijke kunstcritica en activiste wiens werk lange tijd de kruispunten van kunst, feminisme, politiek en plaats heeft onderzocht. Haar baanbrekende onderzoek heeft de hedendaagse kunstbegrip gevormd, met name door haar studie van de dematerialisatie van het kunstobject. Lippard daagt de traditionele kunstkritiek consequent uit door esthetiek te doordrenken met ethiek en politiek activisme. Haar nalatenschap ligt in haar vermogen om het kunstdiscours te transformeren en tegelijkertijd actief betrokken te zijn bij maatschappelijke verandering.
An experimental novel about mirrors, maps, relationships, about the ocean, elusive success and possible happiness. Weaving overeard dialogue, sexual encounters, and elements from the I Ching, Tarot, and palmistry, Lippard charts changing relationships among four people. Written in 1970, this novel brings to life political, feminist and aesthetic struggles of its time.
The author reveals a continuum in materials, forms, symbols and imagery artists have employed over 1000s of years. She shows how contemporary art and prehistoric images are linked, with images of past times being 'overlaid' onto works of today's artists.
Book by Lippard, Lucy R.
Examines Pop's precursors and related styles and examines Pop Art today
"Tourism, the largest industry in the world, is a significant force in contemporary society, with far-reaching economic, cultural, and geopolitical importance. Rather than seeking to represent tourism or travel itself, Universal Experience: Art, Life, and the Tourist's Eye considers art, history, and the social construction of places, spaces, and identities from the heightened perception of the tourist. Functioning as a guide book, a reader, and a souvenir, this lavish catalogue of the exhibition presents over 275 illustrations of thought-provoking artworks as icons and as tourist sites for exploration. A wide-ranging anthology of texts presents divergent routes and avenues through which to explore the symbols and cultural conventions created, deciphered, and disseminated by an increasingly mobile, international group of artists."--Jacket
