Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Condition: New. - During his short career, Bronx-born Darrel Ellis (1958-1992) created a multifaceted and expansive body of work merging painting, printmaking, photography, and drawing before his premature death due to AIDS-related causes. Ellis's greatest achievement happened in his early twenties, when he was given a group of negatives shot by his father, a postal worker and studio photographer who died in police custody shortly before Ellis was born. The younger Ellis's unique studio practice involved projecting these photographic negatives onto a sculpted surface, masking out areas, and re-photographing them, generating a stream of surrogates that capture the fleeting effects of memory and the experience of disillusion. Ellis's technical and theoretical experimentation transformed contemporary serial and appropriation practices into something unrecognizably new, beautiful and compellingly heartfelt. Darrel Ellis: Regeneration offers the first comprehensive, scholarly survey of Ellis's practice and includes essays by the curators with added contributions by Makeda Djata Best, Allen Frame, Scott Homolka, Linda Owen and Kyle Croft.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Beyond the Supersquare: Art and Architecture in Latin America after Modernism, which developed from a symposium presented by the Bronx Museum of the Arts in 2011, showcases original essays by distinguished Latin American architects, historians, and curators whose research examines architecture and urban design practices in the region during a significant period of the twentieth century. Drawing from the exuberant architectural projects of the 1940s to the 1960s, as well as from critically engaged artistic practices of the present day, the essays in this collection reveal how the heroic visions and utopian ideals popular in architectural discourse during the modernist era bore complicated legacies for Latin America-the consequences of which are evident in the vastly uneven economic conditions and socially disparate societies found throughout the region today. The innovative contributions in this volume address how the modernist movement came into being in Latin America and compellingly explore how it continues to resonate in today's cultural discourse. Beyond the Supersquare takes themes traditionally examined within the strict field of urbanism and architecture and explores them against a broader range of disciplines, including the global economy, political science, gender, visual arts, philosophy, and urban planning. Containing a breadth of scholarship, this book offers a compelling and distinctive view of contemporary life in Latin America. Among the topics explored are the circulation of national cultural identities through architectural media, the intersection of contemporary art and urban social politics, and the recovery of canonically overlooked figures in art and architectural histories, such as Lina Bo Bardi and Joao Filgueiras Lima ("Lele") from Brazil, Juan Legarreta of Mexico, and Henry Klumb in Puerto Rico.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The Noigandres group was one of the key movements in Brazilian modernism. Bessa's account works through the specific poetic innovations that are the hallmark of the concrete poetics the group developed. These include their unprecedented reevaluation of Brazilian literary history, their distinctive exploration of graphic space inspired by emerging studies on cybernetics, and their embrace of a range of Modernist traditions, from Mallarmé's vision of poetry as a constellation of words, to Joyce's concept of the ""verbivocovisual,"" to Pound's writings about the Chinese ideogram.Bessa's account begins with the core traits of concrete poetry developed by the Noigandres poets throughout the 1950s (the so-called ""heroic phase"" of concretism) and continues to the poetic experiments the group undertook after the military coup of 1964 in Brazil. The book concludes with translations of key primary texts: essays by the poets Augusto de Campos, Décio Pignatari and Haroldo de Campos and correspondence between the three poets and Ezra Pound.…
