By the late 1960s cartographic formats and spatial information were a recurring feature in conceptualist artworks. Charting space offers a rich study of conceptualisms' mapping practices that includes more expanded forms of spatial representations. Departing from the perspective that artists were merely recording and communicating information, this book explores the philosophical and political imperatives within their artistic practices. The volume brings together twelve in-depth case studies that address artists' deep engagement with space at a time when concepts of space were garnering new significance in art, theory and culture. It covers a diverse range of subjects, such as London's socio-spatial sphere in the 1970s, geopolitics and decoloniality in Brazil, the global networking strategies of the Psychophysiology Research Institute in Japan, the subjective body in relation to cosmological space from the Great Basin Desert in the United States and notions of identity and race in the urban itinerant practices of transnational artists. The chapters shed light on an evident 'spatial turn' from the postwar period into the contemporary and the influence of larger historical, social and cultural contexts on it. The contributors illustrate how conceptualism's cartographies were critical sites to formulate artists' politics, graph heterogenous spaces and upset prevailing systems. It is a resourceful tool for scholars, students, curators and readers interested in postwar and contemporary art.

Decorators and designers have long experimented with materials, objects and technologies to enhance sensory awareness and wellbeing. But existing histories of interior design rarely feature any discussion of the senses. This volume offers a corrective, exploring how sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste have been mobilized within various forms of interior. Grouped into three thematic clusters, exploring sensory politics, aesthetic entanglements and sensual economies, the chapters in this volume shed light on sensory expressions and experiences of interior design throughout history. They examine domestic and public interiors from the late-sixteenth century to the present day, giving back the body its central role in the understanding and use of interiors. Drawing from fields including design history, design studies and sensory studies, The senses in interior design explores fundamental questions about identities, social structures and politics that reveal the significance of the senses in all aspects of interior design and decoration.

At the intersection of heritage, design history and contemporary art, this book offers new perspectives on the way historical interiors are encountered by, and viewed and presented for, present-day audiences. Many studies have highlighted the historical significance and meanings embedded in the landscape, architecture, decoration and objects to be found within houses and homes. But what about the social meanings of these spaces? Central to this book is the idea that in reflecting, remaking and reimagining historical interiors, the contributions of artists, designers and craftspeople should be foregrounded in constructing ideas of authenticity, transparency, and materiality in the making process. The chapters present a range of case studies that reflect upon how historical interiors are remade and reimagined by looking in and out; at how a reassembling of spaces ought to avoid narrowing our understanding of the social itself. Surveying a range of interior 'types' from a number of historical periods, the book includes contributions from practitioners, scholars and makers. From digital reconstructions of a seventeenth-century Belgian constcamer to the interior and exterior worlds of specific historical figures, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Beatrix Potter, the book considers how these spaces have powerful significance for contemporary audiences, particularly in ways that are relatable to shared experiences of work, leisure, family, community, power and politics. This book will be of interest to scholars of the history of interiors and collections, museology, archaeology, architectural history, art, and design history, as well as curators and caretakers of historical sites, spaces and objects.

Feeling blue is the first historical study of colour in modern British hospitals. The book uses colour to understand the layered meanings of modernity in twentieth-century Britain and its relationship to the 'mundane' or everyday life of hospitals. Colour has long been a crucial part of hospital design and the daily activity of hospitals, from the uniforms that mark out different jobs, to the colour schemes that sort hospital waste. Despite this importance, the history of hospital colour is often overlooked as a subject of study. This book examines colour in relation to six key themes - hygiene, emotion, humanisation, homeliness, play and consumerism - which are tied together by the idea of the 'modern' hospital. Feeling blue opens important new understandings of a wide range of subjects including histories of emotions, health, politics, design, architecture, culture and society, and offers a new framework for thinking about 'modernity' and change over time.

This book examines Candomblé's material culture and its relationship with the evolving cultural politics of Brazil. It employs artefacts as analytical tools to trace the emergence of a diasporic consciousness.

The collection offers new ways of seeing, healing and remembering violence and trauma in and through contemporary performances. It challenges common assumptions about dominant and silenced narratives, as well as precarious and resilient bodies that embody performances of historical and ongoing violence and trauma.

In today's global design world, it's more important than ever for designers to create work that connects with diverse audiences. This book is for designers and students whose native languages don't use the Latin alphabet, as well as professionals creating designs for people from non-Latin backgrounds. It's also a valuable resource for design teachers working with international students and aiming to create a more inclusive classroom.This book fills an important gap in design education: the focus on Latin-script design resources. While there are books from designers in Asia or the Arabic-speaking world, they're mostly aimed at native speakers. Here, we take a fresh approach by comparing typography from a wide range of scripts, encouraging designers to move beyond Western styles and explore a richer, multicultural design approach.Readers will walk away with a deeper understanding of global design, giving them the tools to create work that speaks to underrepresented audiences. Design students will feel more confident drawing inspiration from their own cultures, while educators will find new ways to teach with greater empathy. Whether you're an experienced designer or just starting out, this book offers practical tips to expand your design horizons and embrace non-Latin scripts.

The practice of architecture as a learned profession is a fairly recent invention in the history of architecture, one that was an uneasy fit with professional ideals from its inception in the nineteenth century, and the value of which is under assault today from globalizing economic forces. Unfortunately, the profession's longstanding internal tensions have prevented it from articulating a durable ethical rationale for its protections that would help it stand up to those assaults. This book proposes crafting just such a durable ethical rationale through the public good the architecture profession serves. But the concept of the public is itself a recent historic phenomenon, one also experiencing both tremendous pressures and instability from many of the same sources destabilizing the architecture profession-globalization, neo-liberal economics, the rise of individualism, and the destruction of privacy. Therefore, to bring architecture and the public good together in any sustained way, both architecture's instabilities and the public's must be better understood. The book accomplishes this task by addressing the profession's long-standing internal struggles that prevent it from articulating a strong ethical defense, the recent economic forces which are dispersing the profession's center much as they have the world's middle classes, the Enlightenment-derived concept of the bourgeois public and its more recent decline and reinvention, the importance of dissecting the shifting boundaries between the public and private realms, and finally a new approach to reassert the many ways in which architecture can not only serve the public good, but also become a protagonist in its renewal as a guiding ideal for our times.

The perfect gift book on dogs by artist Harriet Lowther.

Pursuing a new and timely line of research in world art studies, Humor in Global Contemporary Art is the first edited collection to examine the role of culturally specific humor in contemporary art from a global perspective.Since the 1960s, increasing numbers of artists from around the world have applied humor as a tool for observation, critique, transformation, and debate. Exploring how humorous art produced over the past six decades is anchored in local sociopolitical contexts and translated or misconstrued when exhibited abroad, this book opens new conversations regarding the functioning of humor and the ways in which art travels across the globe. With contributions by an impressive array of internationally based scholars covering six major continental regions, the book is organized into four distinct geographical sections: Africa and the Middle East, Asia and Oceania, South and North America, and Europe. This structure highlights the cultural specificity of each region while the book as a whole offers a critical perspective on the postcolonial, globalized art network.Reflecting on present-day processes of globalization and biennialization, which confront viewers with humorous art from a variety of cultures and countries, this book will provide readers with a culturally sensitive understanding of how humor has become vital to many contemporary artists working in an unprecedentedly interconnected world.
