Análisis del trabajo realizado en las dos últimas décadas en la que el artista ha puesto la pintura en el centro, con especial importancia a la constante retroalimentación que existe entre esta y la fotografía, el collage y el dibujo. En estos años su modo de pintar sigue siendo el mismo: Luis Gordillo siempre está en la pintura, pero no siempre está pintando. La experimentación, palabra clave de su quehacer artístico, es constante. Y esta publicación muestra las tensiones y las energías que desprende el trabajo del artista desde dentro, con una doble perspectiva: por un lado, una visión de los temas recurrentes en sus cuadros y, por otra, una observación detenida de las exploraciones y las derivas de su proceso creativo. Dentro de esta última, la publicación incluye una selección de veinte antipoemas escritos por Gordillo en los últimos años. Se incluye un texto de Chus Martínez. La exposición a la que este libro responde se inaugura en septiembre en la Sala Alcalá 31 de Madrid, celebrando una capacidad creativa única, la de un artista que a sus ochenta y nueve años sigue en activo y con una clara influencia en nuevas generaciones.
Rituals and Sisterhoods reveals the previously under-studied world of plebeian single women and single-female-headed households in colonial Mexican urban centers. Focusing on the lower echelons of society, Amos Megged considers why some commoner women remained single and established their own female-headed households, examining their unique discourses and self-representations from various angles. Megged analyzes these women’s life stories recorded during the Spanish Inquisition, as well as wills and bequests, petitions, parish records, and private letters that describe—in their own words—how they exercised agency in male-dominated and religious spaces. Translations of select documents and accompanying analysis illustrate the conditions in which women dissolved their marriages, remained in long-lasting extramarital cohabitations, and formed female-led households and “sisterhoods” of their own. Megged provides evidence that single women in colonial Mexico played a far more active and central role in economic systems, social organizations, cults, and political activism than has been previously thought, creating spaces for themselves in which they could initiate and maintain autonomy and values distinct from those of elite society. The institutionalization of female-headed households in mid-colonial Mexico had wide-ranging repercussions and effects on general societal values. Rituals and Sisterhoods details the particular relevance of these changes to the history of emotions, sexuality, gender concepts, perceptions of marriage, life choices, and views of honor and shame in colonial society. This book will be of significant interest to students and scholars of colonial Latin American history, the history of Early Modern Spain and Europe, and gender and women’s studies.
Most of the embodied energy can be saved in the load-bearing structure! Conceptual Design of Structures is working at the interface between structural engineering, architecture, and art. The book seeks to answer the complex question of what needs to be considered when conceiving a building structure. What influences the process of conceptual thinking? How do space and structure interact? In what ways do architects and engineers work together? The book thus sheds light on the topic of multidisciplinary interrelationships in design, showing numerous different perspectives. Renowned practitioners and researchers from architecture and engineering share their insights, as do artists and historians who cross the disciplinary boundaries. Furthermore, this book also provides an outlook on possible future developments and aspects of sustainable design and construction. Bridging practice, academic, and research Holistic perspectives through contributors from different disciplines Numerous essays, interviews and project reviews provide direct insights Selected works from engineering, architecture, and art
