Paperback. Condition: New. For their 2019 Venice Biennale pavilion, Catalonia presented an exhibition exploring the life of public statues and reflecting on the capacity of artworks to possess agency. The project considers the often-intense relationship that forms between humans and statues, focusing on fifteen such works from around Catalonia. At times celebrated, vandalized, protected, or destroyed, figurative sculptures have a strange capacity to inspire intense emotions, to make one "lose their head." The collective artist book, To Lose Your Head (Idols), includes written and artistic reflections on the exhibition's theme, exploring the idea of artistic agency as it analyses the passions that are sparked when dealing with figurative sculpture. Pedro Azara, an architect, archaeologist, and professor of aesthetics, explores the perception of images as living entities. Looking at the deep reverence and radical iconoclastic urges inspired by works of public art, he considers how the Western artistic tradition might still be deeply animist. Six contemporary Catalan artists-David Bestué, Lúa Coderch, Lola Lasurt, Daniela Ortiz, Perejaume, and Francesc Torres-take on this question from the perspective of artistic practice, creating works and essays in response to Azara. The publication includes documentation of the exhibition and provides information on accompanying works by playwright Marcel Borràs, architect Tiziano Schu?rch, and filmmaker Albert García-Alzórriz, in collaboration with poet Gabriel Ventura.

Humanidades en acción recoge las propuestas de Aula oberta, un ciclo de conferencias dirigido por la filósofa Marina Garcés en colaboración con el Institut d?Humanitats de Barcelona. Humanidades en acción quiere decir pensar las humanidades desde su potencial transformador y como un activo positivo para el conjunto de la sociedad. Las humanidades no son un conjunto de disciplinas académicas en extinción, sino que son el conjunto de actividades con las que damos sentido a la experiencia humana, desde el punto de vista de su dignidad. Ese es el motivo por el que en Aula oberta se dieron cita una veintena de ponentes de ámbitos muy diferentes para reflexionar sobre las perspectivas de sus líneas de trabajo, sus límites y sus desafíos. Artistas, académicos, activistas, periodistas, cineastas, científicos, entre otros, han participado en este proyecto, cada uno y cada una de ellos desde su disciplina, mirada y trayectoria. El resultado es este conjunto de veinte voces, una apuesta generacional y renovadora sobre el discurso y la praxis de las humanidades de hoy, y sobre qué les podría deparar el futuro. David Bueno, David Casassas, Lúa Coderch, Eduard Escoffet, Eudald Espluga, Oriol Fontdevila, Marina Garcés, Marcos García, Raül Garrigasait, Ingrid Guardiola, Albert Lladó, Pablo La Parra, Irene Masdeu, Joana Masó, Karo Moret, Manel Ollé, María Ruido, Mireia Sallarès, Victoria Szpunberg y Brigitte Vasallo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
