        Feminist substances

        Plastics in art of the 1960s and 1970s

        by Charlotte Matter

        Numerous women artists engaged with industrial materials such as plastics in the 1960s and 1970s, contrary to what the discourse of the time would have us believe. As Feminist substances shows, their works offered unique approaches to plastics in art, introducing new material meanings through a feminist lens. With a focus on Europe and Latin America, the book discusses the practices of Carla Accardi, Lea Lublin and Alina Szapocznikow, combining close readings of selected artworks with broader considerations of their social contexts. It explores their use of Sicofoil, plexiglass, plastic inflatables, polyester resin and polyurethane foam to address key concerns of feminist thought in relation to social reproduction, motherhood, memory, desire and illness. Beyond commonplaces of plastics as generic bad materials, Feminist substances considers more complex ways of engaging with synthetic matter, taking into account our messy relationships with these controversial materials.

        From Stone Age to Internet

        by Lutz Jäncke

        Is modern digital technology changing our social behavior, communication, and the way we see ourselves? How do we cope with the increasing flood of information pouring over us? Does this flood have an effect on our work and personal life?  Based on the premise that in the course of evolution humans have developed into social beings for whom communication with group members is of paramount importance, the author demonstrates how not only our communication but also our entire social behavior is suffering as a result of modern digital technology. In the truest sense of the word, we are being inundated with information that we are no longer able to manage. The volume and constant availability of interesting and attention- sapping news and information overload our brains. Are our brains capable of adapting to the modern internet world? Are we already overloaded? How will the future pan out? For:• anyone who is interested in the digital world• wider audience

        History of art & design styles: c 1400 to c 1600
        November 2014

        The matter of art

        Materials, practices, cultural logics, c.1250–1750

        by Edited by Christy Anderson, Anne Dunlop and Pamela H. Smith

        Materials carried the meaning of early modern art. Transformed and crafted from the matter of nature, art objects were the physical embodiment of both the inherent qualities of materials and the forces of culture that used, refined and produced them. The study of materials offers a new approach to this important period in the history of art, science and culture, linking the close study of painting, sculpture and architecture to much wider categories of the everyday and the exotic. Drawing on new research and models from anthropology, material culture and the history of art, scholars in The matter of art explore topics as diverse as Inka stonework, gold in panel painting, cork platforms for shoes, and the Christian Eucharist.
