Stuart Semple - Suspend Disbelief
Author: Stuart SemplePublisher: Bigger Ltd
ISBN: 1634521323
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
The exhibition catalogue is a beautiful full colour publication that accompanied "Suspend Disbelief", Stuart Semple's 2013 solo exhibition in London that was an immersive experience held over two floor of Victoria House in Bloomsbury. Ingeniously designed, the 77 page bound book is assembled in a red custom acrylic slip case that includes numerous inserts that feature the essay "I Just Can't Help Believing" by Clare Hazelton and photography by Nadia Amura. The collection of work from "Suspend Disbelief" by Stuart Semple toy with the notion of pausing disbelief in obvious fictions within entertainment in exchange for pleasure. However it comes at a cost. By turning our backs on the truth of the situation we allow ourselves to be duped into the rejection of essential realities. "Suspension of disbelief doesn't stop at entertainment. It extends to our whole lives, especially in the West. I think we've suspended disbelief in the fact that we're all dying. That's universal. We're all mortal, but it's not a bad thing. Only by acknowledging the inevitability of death are we able to truly live."
Beyond Bach
Author: Andrew TallePublisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252099346
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Reverence for J. S. Bach's music and its towering presence in our cultural memory have long affected how people hear his works. In his own time, however, Bach stood as just another figure among a number of composers, many of them more popular with the music-loving public. Eschewing the great composer style of music history, Andrew Talle takes us on a journey that looks at how ordinary people made music in Bach's Germany. Talle focuses in particular on the culture of keyboard playing as lived in public and private. As he ranges through a wealth of documents, instruments, diaries, account ledgers, and works of art, Talle brings a fascinating cast of characters to life. These individuals--amateur and professional performers, patrons, instrument builders, and listeners--inhabited a lost world, and Talle's deft expertise teases out the diverse roles music played in their lives and in their relationships with one another. At the same time, his nuanced recreation of keyboard playing's social milieu illuminates the era's reception of Bach's immortal works.

Nine Letters on Landscape Painting
Author: Carl Gustav CarusPublisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 9780892366743
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869)--court physician to the king of Saxony--was a naturalist, amateur painter, and theoretician of landscape painting whose Nine Letters on Landscape Painting is an important document of early German romanticism and an elegant appeal for the integration of art and science. Carus was inspired by and had contacts with the greatest German intellectuals of his day. Carus prefaced his work with a letter from his correspondence with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was his primary mentor in both science and art. His writings also reflect, however, the influence of the German natural philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, especially Schelling's notion of a world soul, and the writings of the naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Carus played a role in the revolution in landscape painting taking place in Saxony around Caspar David Friedrich. The first edition appears here in English for the first time.
