Book excerpt: Berlinde De Bruyckere's work prompts the viewer to respond. That is why it has a particular appeal for writers of literature: they are fascinated by the compositions of distorted parts of humans and horses that refer to horror and comfort, to a cruel death and the sublime. De Bruyckere empties the bodies. Through holes, the public notices the darkness of a world inside that both appeals and repels. There is space around her work that resonates and in which writers can indulge in creativity -not by writing about objects, but by juxtaposing the work with creative texts. The author does not remove meanings of the work by trying to explain it, but rather adds to its meaning by responding to art with art. Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee rises to this challenge: together with De Bruyckere he has chosen fragments from his impassioned and unsettling novels that are full of great beauty. Thus, the two present a composition of texts and images that from inside illuminates the dark world of their work.

Book excerpt: The Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere (born 1964) owes her fame in the contemporary art world in the very innovative way in which she approaches sculpture. This publication is the first monograph devoted to De Bruyckere. This book gives us a definitive and comprehensive look at the variety of her work over the past twenty years. The book includes the first sculptures of De Bruyckere from the 1990s, especially reflections on the human figure made of wax and wool, her later sculptures of horses who assured her international fame, as well as the fascinating installation she made recently for the Belgian Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia (2013). The work of De Bruyckere, which are discussed here in more than two hundred beautiful illustrations, full of strange contradictions - they are both inviting and confusing, anatomical and abstract. This book is an invaluable source of information about an artist who works with her provocative and exerts a decisive impact on the contemporary art canon. The work contains two philosophical essays written by philosopher and theorist Emmanuel Alloa and art historian Angela Mengoni, while Gary Carrion-Murayari provides a sensitive reflection on the graphic work of the artist.

Book excerpt: Since before the myth of Pygmalion bringing a statue to life through desire, artists have used sculpture to explore the physical materiality of the body. This groundbreaking volume examines key sculptural works from thirteenth-century Europe to the global present, revealing new insights into the strategies artists deploy to blur the distinction between art and life. Three-dimensional renderings of the human figure are presented here in numerous manifestations, created by artists ranging from Donatello and Edgar Degas to Kiki Smith and Jeff Koons. Featuring works created in media both traditional and unexpected—such as glass, leather, and blood—Like Life presents sculpture by turns conventional and shocking, including effigies, dolls, mannequins, automata, waxworks, and anatomical models. Texts by curators and cultural historians as well as contemporary artists complete this provocative exploration of realistic representations of the human body. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

Book excerpt: A phenomenon in contemporary art, Flemish artist Berlinde De Bruyckere creates dynamic, often unsettling works that straddle the line between real and metaphorical bodies. In dialogue here with earlier works by Cranach the Elder and controversial poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, De Bruyckere's sculptures in wool, wood, wax, and hair reveal a sense of loneliness and physical vulnerability and explore issues surrounding the corporeality of man--issues more relevant than ever in an age when science is increasingly capable of mimicking nature. Created in partnership with the Stiftung Moritzburg in Halle--and accompanying exhibitions at the Bern Kunstmuseum and Vienna Kunsthalle--this catalogue includes illustrations of artworks by De Bruyckere, Cranach and Pasolini, as well as an essay by the philosopher Gernot Böhme setting the works of art in the context of German philosophy and current ethical issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the new performativity in art theory and practice, examining ways of rethinking interpretive processes in visual culture. Since the 1960s, visual art practices - from body art to minimalism - have taken contemporary art outside the museum and gallery; by embracing theatricality and performance and exploding the boundaries set by traditional art criticism. The contributors argue that interpretation needs to be recognised as much more dynamic and contingent. Offering its own performance script, and embracing both canonical fine artists such as Manet, De Kooning and Jasper Johns, and performance artists such as Vito Acconci and Gunter Brus, this book offers radical re-readings of art works and points confidently towards new models for understanding art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can contemporary art say anything about spirituality? John Updike calls modern art "a religion assembled from the fragments of our daily life," but does that mean that contemporary art is spiritual? What might it mean to say that the art you make expresses your spiritual belief? On the Strange Place of Religion in Contemporary Art explores the curious disconnection between spirituality and current art. This book will enable you to walk into a museum and talk about the spirituality that is or is not visible in the art you see.
