‎Geographies of Sound. Sounding and Listening to the Urban Space of Early Modern Italy with a Contemporary Perspective‎

‎Summary Sound is an essential element of human experience. It is part of the complex semiotic system that enables human communities to orient themselves in time and space, to be informed, to participate in social life as conscious listeners, capable of deciphering and giving meaning to the collective action of the urban space in which they live. Deeper sound horizons reverberate at different levels on the sonic dimension of reality, contributing to a more complex semantic process of the collective civic rituality and the construction of institutional and individual sound identities. In order to investigate the urban soundscape, it is important to define the nature of the sound phenomena to be examined, but also the dynamics concerning their perception as part of complex anthropological processes. These perspectives can be considered from a historical point of view. The studies collected in this volume aim to investigate sound as an element of urban space in early modern Italy. They consider different phenomenologies investigated through innovative methodological perspectives. Particular importance is given to the sound of urban rituality, to its declinations and local connotations, to its ability to interact with public and private dimensions, to the social and aesthetic dynamics that regulate it, and to the definition of the sonic identity of early modern urban space.

‎Hemba, master carvers of the Hemba culture in southeastern Congo ‎

‎, 5 Continents, 2017 Hardcover with dusjacket, 144 pages, Texte en Francais, Illustrations en couleurs en noir & blanc nombreuses illustrations dans et hors texte. TEXT ENGLISH/ French, *NEW. ISBN 9788874398034.‎

‎Expressing one of many Luba sub-styles, the tall, standing male figures created by master carvers of the Hemba culture in southeastern Congo since at least the mid-1800s arguably rank among the noblest sculptural depictions of the human figure in sub-Saharan Africa. With their serene gaze and meditative expression, they exude a tranquillity and dignity that befits these idealized likenesses memorializing esteemed leaders of the past. Infused with a life-force or vital energy, these spirit-invested objects were able to communicate between the living and the dead. Thanks to their inner power they had the capacity to impact the material sphere by allowing the ancestors to positively influence the well-being of their surviving relatives. In this publication, through the perceptive lens of art photographer Luigi Spina, we discover nine of the most accomplished Hemba creations whose classical style has triggered comparisons with some kouroi sculptures of ancient Greece. Spina?s photographic interpretations help us understand why these proportionally balanced and symmetrically conceived ancestral figures have earned the admiration of African art lovers around the world. These personal readings of the beloved Hemba commemorative portraits also confirm why these sensitive renderings of the human anatomy deserve inclusion in the universal history of artistic creativity and a place in Andr Malraux?s ?Museum Without Walls.? After a tenure of more than fourteen years at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Constantine (Costa) Petridis joined the Art Institute of Chicago on November 1, 2016, as Curator of African art and Chair of the Department of the Arts of Africa and the Americas. A prolific editor and writer specialized in arts of Central Africa, Petridis most recently also contributed various essays to Frank Herreman?s Mumuye Sculpture from Nigeria: The Human Figure Reinvented, which was published by 5 Continents Editions in 2016. Luigi Spina (b. 1966) is a photographer from Naples. He participated in the ninth International Photography Festival in Rome and at MIAFAIR 2013 with his book-project The Buchner Boxes. With 5 Continents Editions he has published: The Buchner Boxes, The Dancers from the Villa dei Papyri, Memorie del Vaso Blu, Amazzonomachia, and Centauri He began his photographic portrayal of the Farnese collection of Classical sculptures for the Archaeological Museum of Naples in 2002.‎

‎Jacopo Bassano Renaissance Painter of Venetian Country Life‎

‎, Mercatorfonds, 2024 PB+, 280 x 240 mm, 176 pages, 125 colour illustrations, ENG edition. ISBN 9789462303768.‎

‎This publication presents a new perspective on Jacopo Bassano (c. 1515-1592) and the remarkable success of his workshop. Bassano, although widely appreciated in his lifetime, was later overshadowed by the immense fame of the Venetian masters Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese. Located outside the artistic center of Venice, Jacopo Bassano and his sons were able to produce masterpieces of outstanding quality. They achieved widespread popularity in a variety of genres including biblical-pastoral paintings, portraits, and altarpieces. The purpose of this book is to present a fresh insight into the innovative, artistic practices of Jacopo Bassano and his workshop. The volume consists of insightful essays by specialists on Jacopo Bassano, including Luisa Attardi, Alessandro Ballarin, Claudia Caramanna, and Kirsi Eskelinen. Special attention is given to Jacopo Bassano's career in his native town Bassano and his strategies for expanding the activities of his workshop in Venice. Furthermore, the articles highlight his relationship to nature and the Venetian countryside and his pioneering work in depicting the changing light during different times of the day. Through interdisciplinary research on two paintings in the collection of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum, Finnish National Gallery, the book offers a deeper understanding of Jacopo Bassano's working methods and painterly techniques. The book accompanies the exhibition organized by the Sinebrychoff Art Museum / Finnish National Gallery‎

‎A tree. The biggest and oldest living things on Earth are trees. All Live is shaped by a struggle for survival. Competition for nutrients and reproductive success is unceasing. In contrast to animals, which must move around in search of food and mates, the plant kingdom places a premium on patience. At first glance trees appear to embody this vegetative strategy to perfection: they seem to achieve all their goals by standing still. What could be more emblematic of patience than a tree that has been rooted in the same spot for hundreds or even thousands of years, taking all it needs from the air, the sun, and the soil? nAs for competition with other forms of life, a tree seems to operate on the principle that a good defence is the best offence .nIn addition to providing shade and cooling through evaporation, trees filter noise, dust, and chemical pollutants from the air. Curiously enough, one of the greatest benefits that trees can provide for human populations is being realised by extending and improving what todays foresters call the 'urban forest'. This includes all the trees in the city parks as well as all the trees planted along city streets and highways, and trees in peoples yards. The extent of this forest is surprising. About one third of the surface area of the average city is given over to streets and structures‎

‎Public Opinion and Political Contest in Late Medieval Paris. The Parisian Bourgeois and his Community, 1400-50‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 328 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 5 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503593869.‎

‎Summary Public Opinion and Political Contest presents an important historiographical intervention regarding the emergence of larger political publics during the fifteenth century. The study analyses political interaction and public opinion in medieval Europe's largest city through the lens of the only continuous narrative source compiled in Paris during the early fifteenth century, the well-known Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris. Examining one of the most turbulent periods in Paris' history, which witnessed civil conflict and English occupation, the monograph contributes substantially to understandings of late medieval popular opinion conceptually and empirically, revealing Parisian groups bound by shared idioms and assumptions engaging with supralocal movements. Through an assessment of contemporary reactions to official communication, protest in public space, rumour and civic ceremony, the book presents a timely mirror to themes in flux today, addressing historiographical conclusions that have relegated premodern societies from considerations of the public sphere. As a result, this nuanced assessment of the Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris reveals how access to informational media and forums for discussion bound Parisians and framed a wider commentary upon political issues beyond the highest echelons of medieval society.

‎'The entangled complexity in the successfully layered semi-figuration which in the works by Kowalski invariably remains ?open? where interpretation is concerned, is perfectly complemented by the various painting styles effortlessly fused together by the young artist not unlike a skilled dj at work. Within a single base he smoothly switches from fairly expressive sections to a style reminiscent of the naive figurative Kasimir Malevich, the soft degrading in. The beautiful reference to the sublime and monumental work ?Bez Tytulu? (2010) depicting against a cardboard-like monochrome background a figure on the bottom of the painting under a sheet with its head painted ?in? a pillow with wide-open and obsessive eyes that seem to open ?the mental window? into the imaginative rich plastic world of Tomasz Kowalski. ‎

‎Willy De Sauter (1938, Brugge) volgde een opleiding als graficus, wat een belangrijke stempel op zijn plastisch werk heeft gedrukt. Hij is steeds op zoek naar de essentie, wat in zijn vroegste werk evolueerde naar een spaarzaam gebruik van de lijn. Toen die lijn het ganse blad in beslag nam, werd de stap gezet naar andere materialen, met nieuwe visuele mogelijkheden. Er dook kleur op in het werk, dat ook meer ruimtelijk werd opgevat. Waar de vroegere werken louter zelfreferentieel waren, worden nu bovendien referenties aan architecturale vormen opgenomen. Ondanks deze evolutie blijft De Sauter wat hij zelf noemt, een minimalist. ----- Willy De Sauter (1938, Bruges) trained as a graphic artist, which has had a significant influence on his visual work. He is always searching for the essence, which in his earliest work evolved into a sparing use of line. When that line took over the entire page, he made the transition to other materials, with new visual possibilities. Color appeared in his work, which also became more spatial in nature. Whereas his earlier works were purely self-referential, they now also incorporate references to architectural forms.‎

‎Dirk Vander Eecken‎

‎, MER Paper Kunsthalle, 2010 hardcover, HC / 112 pages / 28 x 21,5 cm, ill. ISBN 9789490693107.‎

‎At a first viewing of Dirk Vander Eecken's recent work, I was peripherally reminded of the edition "Erster Blick" (2000) of the German artist Gerhard Richter. This simple appropriation of a page from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung shows a photo with a text fragment of the first image of the inside of an atom, made by scientists at the University of Augsburg. It is an edition in which Gerhard Richter expresses his fascination for what underlies the material world, or what it is made up of. Concrete reality is tipped over through a microscopic examination that creates a mysterious image which evades all human control. Gerhard Richter also painted, after an illness, snow landscapes that conjure up a similar fascination with a landscape that exists but is temporarily covered with a layer of white snow. In a similar way, the oeuvre of Dirk Vander Eecken is an attempt at creating a continuum, an attempted contemplation of "realities" that directly opposes the routinous perception of the overpressurised rustling reality that surrounds us. / Bij een eerste blik op het recente werk van Dirk Vander Eecken moest ik zijdelings denken aan de editie Erster Blick (2000) van de Duitse kunstenaar Gerhard Richter. Deze eenvoudige toe-eigening van een deeltje van een pagina uit de Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung toont een foto met tekstfragment van de eerste afbeelding van de binnenkant van een atoom gemaakt door wetenschappers aan de Universiteit van Augsburg. Het is een editie waarin Gerhard Richter zijn fascinatie toont voor de achter- en binnenkant van de materi le wereld. Het concrete kantelt via electromicroscopische waarneming in een mysterieus beeld waarop de mens alle greep verliest. Gerhard Richter schilderde na een ziekte ook sneeuwlandschappen waar eenzelfde fascinatie wordt opgeroepen voor een landschap dat er is maar tijdelijk bedekt is met een laag witte sneeuw. Op een gelijkaardige manier is het oeuvre van Dirk Vander Eecken een poging tot continu m, een trachten kijken naar 'werkelijkheden' dat haaks staat op de routineuze perceptie van de ons omringende, overdruk ruisende werkelijkheid.‎
