Synopsis
The eye is the dominating organ of our era. Our very culture pays tribute to the sense of seeing: an ever-increasing receptiveness, a visual expansion into the most diverse universes and into dimensions which are smaller in spatial terms yet even larger. The virtual and real possibilities at our disposal today have changed our understanding of reality. The Expanded Eye takes a look at the experimental side of art: here seeing means insight. Paintings, objects, installations, films and videos from the nineteen-forties to today are presented in a spectrum that takes equal account of the playful experiments of postwar art and the radically altered artistic premises of the twenty-first century.
With texts by Bice Curiger, Ina Blom, Diedrich Diederichsen, Kurt W. Forster, Al Rees, and Rudiger Wehner, this publication documents how the horizons have widened in art, as abstraction has become dematerialization which has in turn led us into "fluid," hybrid universes where very different levels of reality mingle. The removal of past barriers reflects the changed role of the artist as an explorer who has a playful side and who actively empathizes with the public at large.
The book also contains an anthology of texts from the most diverse subject areas - from artist statements by Lucio Fontana and Josef Albers to theoretical essays by Rudolf Arnheim and philosophical texts by George Kubler and Jonathan Crary.

Seller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Neu. Neu Neuware, auf Lager, , Sofortversand - The Expanded Eye lenkt den Blick auf die forschende Seite der Kunst: Sehen heißt hier erkennen. The Expanded Eye präsentiert Bilder, Objekte, Film- und Videoinstallationen von den 1950er Jahren bis heute. Ein Spektrum, das die spielerischen Experimente der Nachkriegskunst wie die unter radikal veränderten Voraussetzungen entwickelten Praktiken des 21. Jahrhunderts berücksichtigt. The Expanded Eye zeigt auf, wie sich in der Kunst eine ''Horizonterweiterung'' vollzogen hat, eine Wandlung von der Abstraktion zur Dematerialisation, hin zum Erschließen von ''flüssigen'', hybriden Universen, in denen sich unterschiedliche Realitätsebenen vermischen. Dem Entgrenzen entspricht ein verändertes Rollenverständnis des Künstlers als Forscher und Spieler, der mit Empathie für den Adressaten operiert, das Publikum. Das Buch enthält darüber hinaus eine Anthologie mit Textbeispielen aus den verschiedensten Gebieten - von Künstlerstatements von Lucio Fontana und Josef Albers über theoretische Essays von Rudolf Arnheim bis hin zu philosophischen Grundlagen von Georg Kubler und Teilhard de Chardin.
