Volume pubblicato in occasione della mostra tenutasi presso la REDCAT Los Angeles 12 settembre - 8 novembre 2009. Fotografie a colori. Testi di Abraham Cruzvillegas Clara Kim Mark Godfrey Ryan Inouye. Intervista di Jimmie Durham all'artista. Biografia Bibliografia. Edizione in spagnolo e inglese. 8vo cm 28x21. pp. 230. Ottimo Fine. Prima edizione First Edition. <em>Pubblicato in occasione della prima grande mostra dell'artista questo volume esplora il ricco terreno del lavoro di Abraham Cruzvillegas negli ultimi dieci anni radicando il suo<strong> linguaggio scultoreo</strong> nel paesaggio vulcanico della sua casa d'infanzia ad Ajusco in Messico. La pubblicazione approfondisce l'interesse di Cruzvillegas per <strong>l'autocostruzione un metodo di costruzione che nasce dai vincoli della povertà";</strong> in cui le parti vengono riciclate e adattate per nuovi scopi. Sviluppato in collaborazione con l'artista il volume presenta cinque saggi che esaminano l'autocostruzione attraverso la lente della storia dell'arte della politica dell'architettura e della migrazione urbana nel Messico degli anni Sessanta. Oltre a questi testi la pubblicazione include <strong>sculture di Cruzvillegas</strong> <strong>istantanee di Ajusco</strong> in Messico scattate dall'artista immagini d'archivio di Ajusco tratte dall'album della famiglia Cruzvillegas Fuentes titoli che informano e ispirano il pensiero dell'artista sull'autocostruzione manifesti serigrafati dei movimenti di liberazione in America Latina e l'indice dell'artista di concetti e testi di canzoni scritti come allegorie della sua infanzia.</em> <em><strong>Abraham Cruzvillegas</strong> nato nel 1968 a Città del Messico è un artista concettuale messicano che ha sviluppato il concetto di <strong>autocostruzione</strong>. La sua pratica artistica fonde elementi incongruenti attraverso l'improvvisazione e il cambiamento non controllato per sondare la continua trasformazione della comunità e della sua stessa identità" nella convinzione che "attraversiamo un lungo lungo percorso per diventare noi stessi".</em> Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, hardcover

La materia per me è molto importante perchè bene o male un volume cromatici lo avevo trovato per la mia scultura ed ora questa identità la voglio anche per la materia. Questo problema della materia urgeva già da qualche anno ma non potevo risolverlo finchè" non avessi rovesciato una delle "idee" di cui ho parlato prima"; che ci dovesse essere per tutti un linguaggio convenzionale per dire delle cose colore e volume estranei ad una qualsiasi naturalità astratti come un alfabeto ad analizzare il vero per trasferirlo con il suo spazio nell'opera. Invece ora è quasi il rovescio non una realtà" descritta e ricondotta a stile ma forma colore materia a dare direttamente l'emozione il sentimento della natura a "volerla imitare" per essere un'altra natura come essa: foglie giovani lucide che luccicano come un albero di Natale un tronco opaco bianco che prende la luce e se la ferma addosso scuri che non sono neri ma colorati così";" profondi che non si vede dove finiscono.

The prize fund was 1500000 US$ with 2/3 for the winner. Ten percent of the fund would to go to the PCA. In case of a tied match Kasparov would retain the PCA title but the prize would be split. The match was to last 20 games instead of the traditional 24 each game played at 40 moves in 2 hours then 20 moves in 1 hour followed by 30 minutes to complete the game. There were to be no timeouts and no adjournments. The match started with eight straight draws a record for the opening of a world championship match until Anand drew first blood by winning game nine. This victory was not to be enjoyed for very long as Kasparov then rebounded by dominantly winning four of the next five games. After 18 games with a final score of 10 11/2 to 7 1/2 Kasparov retained the PCA World Chess Champion title.</p><p>Card signed during the 9th European Chess Club Cup Anand playing for the winning team Lyon-Oyannax.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Signed on half title page signed card by Anand laid in else a fine copy.</p> 3H Publications paperback
16-5569New York: Martin Beck Theatre1942. Gouache in red on tracing paper on board.'Peignot style lettering.' 22 x 14.5 inches sheet size."Free men cannot start a war but once it is started they can fight on in defeat. Herd men followers of a leader cannot do that and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.â€â€• John Steinbeck The Moon Is Down.The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at writing a novel in play form Of Mice and Men was his first. It was composed while on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services charged with combating Nazi propaganda. His original story depicting a small American town invaded by enemy troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the civilian public. In his revised manuscript published by Viking in 1942 Steinbeck kept the same plot but set it in an unnamed Scandinavian town rather than the United States. Despite mixed critical reception the book was a remarkable public success outselling The Grapes of Wrath two-to-one in pre-publication; it would eventually pass through 76 editions. Shortly after publication the producer Oscar Serlin purchased the dramatic rights to The Moon is Down Herman Shumlin initially bought them but passed them on saying he “did not care for The Moon is Down’s politics.†Serlin known for his production of “Life with Father†accepted the challenge believing Steinbeck’s play would attract a large audience. “The Moon is Down†premiered on Broadway in April 1942 starring Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Like the novel before it the play was publicly adored but critically lambasted. Life magazine reported that it was “trumpeted louder than any literary event of the season†while the critical consensus was that “Steinbeck was too easy on the Germans too optimistic about the ultimate victory of the Allies and ultimately too moralistic." Despite its initial Broadway run lasting only nine weeks the play was immensely successful on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. Rather surprisingly it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and placed second.Provenance: From the estate of producer Oscar Serlin.
