Light Blue Desire investigates the power, failure, and fluidity of language. The project, in its current incarnation as an artist book, lyrically maps the amorphous definition and meaning of the word blue across languages. The collection of idioms reveals a compen- dium of contradictions; concepts around a color that is both high and low, peaceful and pornographic, melancholic and manipulative, and consistently voted the world's favorite color. How and why does blue seep into our speech, color our thoughts, lap into our languages?
This new collection of lyrical and narrative poems is centered on the American west and southwest, from Wyoming to New Mexico to California. Brosman explores three different types of ranges here: mountain ranges, grazing ranges, and the scope and spectrum of light. Most of the poems focus on nature, especially landscapes and trees. However, there are also poems inspired by historical figures such as the explorer, Fremont. Brosman varies forms throughout throughout the collection from ragged-edged free verse poems to poems of rhymed quatrains in iambic pentameter. This transcendental collection is both serious and at times playful. Overall, it is a meditation on the natural beauty and resilience of America.
“An intriguing amalgam of personal memoir, philosophical speculation, natural lore, cultural history, and art criticism.” —Los Angeles Times From the award-winning author of Orwell's Roses, a stimulating exploration of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown Written as a series of autobiographical essays, A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Rebecca Solnit's life to explore issues of uncertainty, trust, loss, memory, desire, and place. Solnit is interested in the stories we use to navigate our way through the world, and the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities, in finding ourselves, or losing ourselves. While deeply personal, her own stories link up to larger stories, from captivity narratives of early Americans to the use of the color blue in Renaissance painting, not to mention encounters with tortoises, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts, and the movie Vertigo. The result is a distinctive, stimulating voyage of discovery.
What began as a collection of psychic flyers found on the NYC subway system, soon turned into a freewheeling and far roaming investigation into the contemporary world of spiritualism. In an age of increasing uncertainty, digital answers are ever ready as part of the wave of modern mysticism that has swept in to fill the void left by shaky institutions and the effects of digital lives. The book weaves archival images, found ephemera, and narrative text that examines how spiritualism continues to thrive through scams, startups, self-care companies, and other lucrative industries.
This often-startlingly original book introduces a new way of thinking about color in film as distinct from existing approaches which tend to emphasize either technical processes and/or histories of film coloration, or the meaning(s) of color as metaphor or symbol, or else part of a broader signifying system. Murray Pomerance's latest meditation on cinema has the author embed himself in various ways of thinking about color; not ways of framing it as a production trick or a symbolic language but ways of wondering how the color effect onscreen can work in the act of viewing. Pomerance examines many issues, including acuity, dreaming, interrelationships, saturations, color contrasts, color and performance (color as a performance aid or even performance substitute), and more. The lavender of the photographer's seamless in Antonioni's Blow-Up taken in itself as an explosion of color worked into form, and then considered both as part of the story and part of our experience. The 14 chapters of this book each discuss a single primary color as regards to our experience of cinema. After opening the idea of such an exploration in terms of the history of our apperception and the variation in our experience that color germinates, Color it True takes form.
