Book Description
A collection of works from the groundbreaking grantLOVE philanthropic art project What is love? In LOVE: A Visual History of the grantLOVE Project, artist Alexandra Grant’s exploration of that question is documented through a retrospective of her journey engaging in civic art. In 2008, Grant began making editions of her art based on the concept of love and her trademarked LOVE symbol to raise money for arts projects and nonprofit organizations, and this philanthropic art experiment became the grantLOVE project. Partnering with other artists, makers, customers, and to support art projects and nonprofits, Grant explores how philanthropy and art can effectively intersect. This comprehensive history of the grantLOVE project—complete with paintings, prints, sculptures, textiles, jewelry, and architecture—provides a visual meditation on what “love” is, as conceived by Grant and the numerous collaborators showcased here. Compiling more than fourteen years of grantLOVE works and partnerships, this book invites you to reflect on the confluence of philanthropy and the arts and celebrates building community around the roles of love and empathy in contemporary art and culture.

Book Description
What exactly is a shadow? Is it light tracing an object or the shape a body throws when it comes between a light source and a surface? Is it a metaphor for the intimate, darker side of a person's nature-as Carl Jung postulated-and the unconscious side of one's self, where daemons and secrets are kept hidden or repressed? Is it an allegorical place between darkness and light, death and living? Or is it a state of illusion, like Plato's cave? Is it a verb that means to follow or accompany, or even to spy on? Shadows, a new collaborative series by Alexandra Grant and Keanu Reeves, explores the real and symbolic nature of the shadow as image and figure of speech. Grant's photographs capture Reeves's shadow at times as a silhouette and at others as traces of light as he and the camera move together. In transforming the images into color and reversing light for dark, Grant has made the shadows themselves the source of light. Reeves's texts, written in tandem with the creation of the images, give voice to the multiple manifestations of the shadow: as a projected figure, a place of concealed emotion and an invocation to shadow play.

The Artists' Prison
Author : Alexandra Grant
Publisher :
Page : 157 pages
File Size : 23,27 MB
Release : 2017
Category : Artists' books
ISBN : 9780998861616
Book Description
The Artists' Prison looks askance at the workings of personality and privilege, sexuality, authority, and artifice in the art world. Imagined through the heavily redacted testimony of the prison's warden, written by Alexandra Grant, and powerfully allusive images by Eve Wood, the prison is a brutal, Kafkaesque landscape where creativity can be a criminal offence and sentences range from the allegorical to the downright absurd. In The Artists' Prison, the act of creating becomes a strangely erotic condemnation, as well as a means of punishment and transformation. It is in these very transformations--sometimes dubious, sometimes oddly sentimental--that the book's critical edge is sharpest. In structural terms, The Artists' Prison represents a unique visual and literary intersection, in which Wood's drawings open spaces of potential meaning in Grant's text, and the text, in turn, acts as a framework in which the images can resonate and intensify in significance.

Vera's Room

Release : 2005
Category : Art
ISBN :
Book Description
Vera's Room is the first monograph on the artist Maria Chevksa. Most celebrated for her evocative, almost edible, treatment of language in her paintings, Chevska explores the rich historical relationship between art and words. Her early work featured fictional extracts from Beckett, Kafka, and Raymond Carver poured onto the canvas in gestures echoing those of Jackson Pollock. More recently Chevska has incorporated new methods of working including sculpture and complex installation. The book also contains Chevska's latest project, the eponymous Vera's Room. This takes the exclusive shape of a scratch book printed on newsprint and forms the central piece of the book. It is a visual as well as textual collage where the artist and her alter ego, Vera Kasmiach, take a journey through film stills, press cuttings, found photographs and other ephemera. Vera's Room traces and documents Chevska's rich and complex work through texts and illustrations. Two specially commissioned essays provide an art historical and philosophical context to the work, while the lavishly illustrated art work section offers an exciting overview of Chevska's oeuvre to date. 130 colour & b/w illustrations

Category : Art and society
ISBN : 9789881506412
Book Description
This is a history of the Japanese art world from 1990 up to the tsunami of March 2011, and its struggle to find a voice amidst Japan's economic decline and China's economic ascent. It looks at how the pop-culture fantasies of Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara and the other artists of the Superflat movement came to dominate the art of Japan today. It also delves into what lies behind their imagery of a childish and decadent society unable to face reality.
