Laocoonte devorado


Book Description

Partiendo del personaje de Laocoonte, devorado por la violencia desatada entre dos ciudades helénicas, la muestra, además de incluir la serie de "Los desastres de la guerra", de Goya, reúne a más de treinta artistas, nacionales e internacionales, comprometidos con su tiempo, cuya mirada nos enfrenta a situaciones y sentimientos que brotan de la sinrazón, del miedo, de la amenaza, situaciones que proceden de la política, esto es, de la instancia pública que debería ser garante de la paz, la libertad de actuación y pensamiento, y la concordia, y que, si bien han existido en todas las épocas, alcanzan en nuestro tiempo unas cotas inimaginables de impunidad -irresponsabilidad- y amplitud -genocidio.

Mona Hatoum


Book Description

In Mona Hatoum's breathtaking works, conflict arises from the juxtaposition of opposites--beauty and horror, desire and revulsion. Born in Beirut in 1952 to a Palestinian family, Hatoum is concerned with confrontational themes such as violence, oppression, and voyeurism, often in reference to the human body. Published to accompany a major retrospective, Mona Hatoum features the artist's major works, including well-known pieces such as Corps tranger, 1994, an endoscopic journey through the artist's body; Hot Spot, a large, cage-like globe with world contours outlined in neon; and Present Tense, which deals with the idea of shifting territories. Beautifully designed, with 250 color images, this book will prove a must for all of those interested in contemporary art, especially video art and installation.
