A richly illustrated exploration of Sung Hwan Kims complex record of migrant stories, displacement and belonging, border-crossings and translation.In A Record of Drifting Across the Sea (2017), Sung Hwan Kim turns to past histories of migration. The artist parses the tracesarchival and bodilyleft by undocumented Korean migrants who came to the US by way of Hawaii at the turn of the last century, and ponders over their impact on other migrant and indigenous communities. As an ongoing film and installation series, comprising two chapters and a third in progress, A Record unsettles the limits of the "one work" with its distributive, open-ended and collaborative nature. In this speculative inquiry, Janine Armin explores each chapter in Kims multilayered work as a mycelial network of feelers entangling and extending the wider work in process. Engaging history through the senses, folklore and myth, as much as through archival material, Kim navigates and crosses the boundaries between displacement and belonging. Focusing on the artists attempt to escape from representation, Armin illuminates and attends to the different stories and non-sovereign ways of being together towards which his work points us. This title is part of the One Work book series, which focuses on artworks that have significantly changed the way we understand art and its history. Autorid: Janine Armin
Throughout his career, Philip Guston's work metamorphosed from figural to abstractand back to figural. In the 1950s, Guston (1913--1980) produced a body of shimmering abstractpaintings that made him -- along with Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Franz Kline -- aninfluential abstract expressionist of the "gestural" tendency. In the late 1960s, withworks like T he Studio came his most radical shift. Drawing from the imagery ofhis early murals and from elements in his later drawings, ignoring the prevailing"coolness" of Minimalism and antiform abstraction, Guston invented for these late works acast of cartoon-like characters to articulate a vision that was at once comic, crude, and complex.In The Studio, Guston offers a darkly comic portrait of the artist as a hooded KuKlux Klansman, painting a self-portrait. In this concise and generouslyillustrated book, Craig Burnett examines The Studio in detail. He describes thehistorical and personal motivations for Guston's return to figuration and the (mostly negative)critical reaction to the work from Hilton Kramer and others. He looks closely at the structure ofThe Studio, and at the influence of Piero della Francesca, Manet, and Krazy Kat,among others; and he considers the importance of the column of smoke in the painting -- as acompositional device and as a ghost of abstraction and metaphysics. The Studiosignals not only Guston's own artistic evolution but a broader shift, from the medium-centric andteleological claim of modernism to the discursive, carnivalesque, and mucky world of postmodernism.

A critical examination of Dara Birnbaum's action-packed and riveting video of Wonder Woman's transformations.Opening with a prolonged salvo of fiery explosions accompanied by the warning cry of a siren, Dara Birnbaum's video Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman (1978-79) is a concise, action-packed, and visually riveting video. During its seven-minute span we see, again and again, the transformation of the drab secretary Diana Prince into the super-heroic Wonder Woman. By isolating and repeating the moment of transformation—spinning figure, arms outstretched—Birnbaum unmasks the technology at the heart of the metamorphosis. In this illustrated examination of Birnbaum's video, T. J. Demos situates it in its historical context—among other developments in postmodernist appropriation, media analysis, and feminist politics—and explores the artist's pioneering attempts to open up the transformative abilities of video as a medium. Demos examines Birnbaum's influence on such artists as Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno, and Candice Breitz, and the turn toward "postproduction procedures”—the mobilization of existing imagery for innovative uses. He also reveals a fascinating historical shift in the reception of Birnbaum's work: a move from an emphasis on her deconstruction of mass culture ideology to an appreciation of her creative use of consumer imagery.
An illustrated study of Mary Heilmann's seductive 1979 abstract painting in hot pink and black, Save the Last Dance for Me."You want beauty? I'll give you beauty!"—Mary HeilmannMary Heilmann is one of the most important abstract painters of her generation. Her distinctively fluid, humorous, and bright canvases combine the modes of Abstract Expressionism with a vibrant Pop sensibility. Heilmannn's 1979 painting in hot pink and black, evocatively titled Save the Last Dance for Me, marked a shift in the artist's perspective. Heilmann describes it: "Now the work came from a different place. Instead of working out of modernist non-image formalism, I began to see that the choices in the work depended more on content for their meaning." This beautifully illustrated study of Save the Last Dance for Me explores the development of Heilmann's work, and the way it continues to engage us—psychologically, sensually, and socially.The three bright pink rectangles in Heilmann's painting seem to dance off the edge of the canvas, through a black field that seems dark as a nightclub after midnight—or perhaps the three are actually one pink rectangle, seen in a blissfully formal time lapse, moving across the dance floor/canvas. These definitively modernist geometric forms coexist with a sense of movement in real time. For many, abstraction may have been dancing its last dance in 1979, but Heilmann's bright pink rectangles boogie on.
