DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume examines the flourishing of Futurist aesthetics in the European art and literature of the early twentieth century. Futurism was an artistic and social movement that was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia, England and elsewhere. The Futurists admired speed, technology, youth and violence, the car, the airplane and the industrial city, all that represented the technological triumph of humanity over nature. This work looks at the prose, visual art, poetry, and the manifestos of Futurists from Russia to Italy. The author reveals the Moment's impulses and operations, tracing its echoes through the years to the work of "postmodern" figures like Roland Barthes. This updated edition reexamines the Futurist Moment in the light of a new century, in which Futurist aesthetics seem to have steadily more to say to the present

The book brings together many of the most influential works in abstractions early history to draw a cross-media portrait of this watershed moment in which traditional art was reinvented in a wholesale way. Works are presented in groups that serve as case studies, each engaging a key topic in abstractions first years: an artist, a movement, an exhibition or thematic concern. Key focal points include Vasily Kandinskys ambitious Compositions V, VI and VII; a selection of Piet Mondrians work that offers a distilled narrative of his trajectory to Neo-plasticism; and all the extant Suprematist pictures that Kazimir Malevich showed in the landmark 0.10 exhibition in 1915.0Exhibition: MoMA, New York, USA (23.12.2012-15.4.2013).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK'FLIP - About Image Construction' is the catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name, held at KASK, Ghent in March 2018 and curated by Kasper Andreasen. The exhibition focused on displaying a temporary archive of artists' books parallel to more than a dozen filmic works. Alongside the film and video works in the exhibition, artists' books from the KASK collection (Kunstenbibliotheek) were shown as well as selections by 4 book collectors and publishers. The term 'FLIP' associatively refers to the performative gesture of leafing through a book but also to notions of image sequences, reversal (printing), the flipbook, as well as the use of text and images in both books and video works. 0In short, the exhibition was a way of showing these media together, emphasizing the use of narrative strategies and image construction as extensions of each other. Initially produced as a guide to the exhibition, this transformed catalogue contains a complete bibliography with stills of the displayed books and films together documentation of the exhibition. Exhibition: KASK, Ghent, Belgium (03.-22.03.2018).
