Synopsis
The title of this first comprehensive monograph on the respected Dutch conceptual artist comes from the outgoing message on Visser's answering machine. An online program translated the message as, "Barbara fisherman are not there." More realistically, it translates, "Barbara Visser ain't here." In any case, Visser's sometimes humorous, always vivid works are occupied with the uncertain relationship between registration and dramatization, between notions of the original and the copy, the natural versus the staged, and the tension between documentary and fiction. Spanning a wide variety of media and formats, including video, computer animation, photography and performance, Visser's takes an incisive look at "civilized" man and the objects he surrounds himself with--whether savaged Eames chairs or lonely, isolated wigs. Separated into two distinct sections, text and image, the book lends itself to multiple interpretations, allowing the reader to access his or her own memories and associations.

Seller: Loring art (Barcelona), MÁLAGA, MÁLAG, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. "Barbara Visser no está aquí" es el título de esta primera monografía sobre la artista conceptual holandesa Barbara Visser, título que se toma del mensaje saliente del contestador de Visser. Sus obras, a veces humorísticas y siempre expresivas, están abordadas con la vaga relación entre el registro y la dramatización, entre las nociones del original y la copia, lo natural frente a lo escenificado, y la tensión entre el documental y la ficción. Abarcando una amplia variedad de medios y formatos, incluyendo video, animación por computadora, fotografía y performance, Visser mira con ironía al hombre "civilizado" y a los objetos de los que se rodea. Dividido en dos secciones, texto e imagen, el libro se presta a múltiples interpretaciones, permitiendo al lector acceder a sus propios recuerdos y asociaciones. Seller Inventory # ABE-1644328273995
