Lucy Lippard es una influyente crítica de arte y activista cuyo trabajo ha explorado durante mucho tiempo la intersección del arte, el feminismo, la política y el lugar. Su investigación fundamental ha dado forma a la comprensión contemporánea del arte, en particular a través de su estudio sobre la desmaterialización del objeto artístico. Lippard desafía constantemente la crítica de arte tradicional al infundir la estética con la ética y el activismo político. Su legado reside en su capacidad para transformar el discurso del arte al mismo tiempo que se involucra activamente en el cambio social.
An experimental novel about mirrors, maps, relationships, about the ocean, elusive success and possible happiness. Weaving overeard dialogue, sexual encounters, and elements from the I Ching, Tarot, and palmistry, Lippard charts changing relationships among four people. Written in 1970, this novel brings to life political, feminist and aesthetic struggles of its time.
The author reveals a continuum in materials, forms, symbols and imagery artists have employed over 1000s of years. She shows how contemporary art and prehistoric images are linked, with images of past times being 'overlaid' onto works of today's artists.
"Tourism, the largest industry in the world, is a significant force in contemporary society, with far-reaching economic, cultural, and geopolitical importance. Rather than seeking to represent tourism or travel itself, Universal Experience: Art, Life, and the Tourist's Eye considers art, history, and the social construction of places, spaces, and identities from the heightened perception of the tourist. Functioning as a guide book, a reader, and a souvenir, this lavish catalogue of the exhibition presents over 275 illustrations of thought-provoking artworks as icons and as tourist sites for exploration. A wide-ranging anthology of texts presents divergent routes and avenues through which to explore the symbols and cultural conventions created, deciphered, and disseminated by an increasingly mobile, international group of artists."--Jacket
