(Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia features 2...)
Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia features 22 artists and artist groups from Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. As strategies for incorporating cultural and artistic genealogies in their work, these practitioners variously access traditional materials and techniques, established philosophical underpinnings, and behaviors surrounding the production and use of material culture. The region's cultural hybridization is asserted in their declaration that East and West are not separate and that the one is embedded in the other. Art historical interdependencies within the region, in relationship to current systems of global connectivity, supply a dynamic framework for understanding these works of art. Yet the artists reveal new views on cu093826236X

(A pioneering conceptual and multidisciplinary artist, Ant...)
A pioneering conceptual and multidisciplinary artist, Antin has lately turned her attention to creating enormous photo-realist settings based on Greek and Roman history and mythology. Gathered here for the first time in book form, these works, often displayed as two-page spreads, are both comic and psychologically complex re-enactments from literature: Roman Allegories, Last Days of Pompeii, and Helen s Odyssey. Employing her friends as models, Antin has created a series of tableaux which touch on themes of herstory while commenting on the roles women play in allegory and myth. Including a foreword by the San Diego Museum of Art director Derrick Cartwright, an interview with the artist by critic Max Kozloff, and essays by Betti-Sue Hertz and Amelia G. Jones, this volume also contains a selection of works from three earlier projects from the 1970s and 1980s: The King, Angel of Mercy, and Recollections of My Life with Diaghilev. Designed to echo a neoclassical work from the nineteenth century, this volume is an indispensable survey of Antin s influential work in photography.
