Jeanne Reality Being

Jeanne de Salzmann: Reality of Being The Fourth Way of Gurdjieff, PUBLISHERS GROUP UK, Juli 2010 ISBN: 1590308158
Based on notebooks kept by G.I. Gurdjieff's closest follower, this book offers new insight on his spiritual teachings--a way of gnosis or knowledge of being passed on from remote antiquity. It is a complete and uniquely authoritative guide to the great teacher's ideas and to his methods for liberating ourselves from the state of waking sleep in which most of us live our lives. Gurdjieff respected traditional religious practices, which he regarded as falling into three general categories or ways: the Way of the Fakir, related to mastery of the physical body; the Way of the Monk, based on faith and feeling; and the Way of the Yogi, which focuses on development of the mind. He presented his teaching as a Fourth Way that integrated these three aspects into a single path of self-knowledge. Progress in the Fourth Way comes through conscious effort toward a quality of thinking and feeling that brings a new capacity to see clearly and to love.

A Matter of Inclusiveness. - The present volume stems from our previous research on The Concept of Equity: A Diachronical Assessment (2007). The essays in this new collection demonstrate how lively and active the debate on equity has been and how difficult it is to find a concluding word on this topic. In literature a new idea concerning equity is slowly being shaped. The discourse offered by literature is of an alternative kind; we are reminded of the utopian function of equity in Plato's Republic, where it aims at transcending reality and the mimetic description of it. There is something mysterious about equity: we cannot grasp it easily in terms of rational argumentation. It is all about norm and its inversion; at the same time it is deconstructive. Thus sometimes equity appears to be beyond the sphere of reality and takes us into a mysterious and incomprehensible world. ISBN 9783825355616 - , ISBN: 3825355616

Wagner, Hilke/Franke, Anselm/Brett, Guy: Javier Tellez 4 1/2 Hrsg. v. Kunstverein Braunschweig, SNOECK, 040 ISBN: 3940953482
Wie haben Sie das gemacht Mr. TellezDie vorliegende Publikation dokumentiert die erste institutionelle Einzelausstellung des New Yorker Künstlers Javier Tellez (geb. 1969 in Venezuela) in Deutschland. Längst überfällig erscheint diese Monografie eines Künstlers, der bereits an unzähligen bedeutenden Gruppenausstellungen, wie der Biennale von Venedig (2001 u. 2003), Sydney (2004) oder der Whitney Biennale (2008) sowie der Manifesta 7, beteiligt war.In seiner Arbeit zwischen Fiktion und Dokumentation interpretiert Tellez klassische Literatur-, Theater- und Filmstoffe neu und reißt gewohnte soziokulturelle Grenzen ein. Die Ausstellung im Kunstverein Braunschweig umfasste neben Installationen vier seiner bedeutendsten Filmwerke. La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (Rozelle Hospital, Sydney) (2004) gilt als wegweisende Filmproduktion Tellez'. Der überarbeitete Stummfilm Jeanne d'Arc(1928) und der in einer psychiatrischen Klinik gedrehte Film Twelve and a Marionette werden als Doppelprojektion präsentiert. Die Gegenüberstellung von Jeanne d'Arc, die zu ihrer Zeit als Besessene stigmatisiert, heute als Visionärin und Nationalheldin anerkannt ist, rückt die Patientinnen in ein neues Licht.In Oedipus Marshal (2006) inszeniert Tellez Sophokles' klassische Tragödie König Ödipus mit Westernkostümen und japanischen Masken vor der Kulisse einer verlassenen Goldgräberstadt in Colorado. Die Maskierungen führen eine Meta-Ebene ein: Als ambivalente Elemente verschleiern und entmystifizieren sie zugleich, sie destabilisieren Persönlichkeitsgrenzen, symbolisieren aber auch die ausgeprägte Fähigkeit zur Mimikry psychisch kranker Menschen, die Tellez meist als Schauspieler einsetzt.Letter on the Blind for the Use of Those Who See (2007) greift auf den titelgebenden Klassiker von Diderot zurück und verweist darauf, dass Realität keineswegs eine objektiv bewertbare Konstante ist.Die aktuellste Arbeit Caligari und der Schlafwandler (2008) basiert auf dem expressionistischen Stummfilm Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari von 1919. Die Vermischung von Realitätsebenen, Identitätswechsel und Mehrstimmigkeit sind Themen, die Tellez' Filme häufig inhaltlich aufgreifen, aber auch darstellungstechnisch umsetzen. Durch die Wahl von Mendelsohns Einsteinturm - einer Ikone der expressionistischen Architektur - als Drehort, wird hier zudem auf eine Epoche der Kunst und des Filmes verwiesen, die sich erstmals mit pathologischen Störungen auseinandersetzt und sich davon inspirieren lässt.How Did You Do This Mr. Tellez This catalogue documents the first museum-based solo exhibition in Germany by the New York artist Javier Tellez (born 1969 in Venezuela). This monograph would seem to be long overdue in view of the fact that the artist has already taken part in innumerable group exhibitions, such as the Biennials in Venice (2001 and 2003), Sydney (2004) or the Whitney Biennial (2008), as well as Manifesta 7.Javier Tellez, whose work oscillates between fiction and documentation, reinterprets classic material from the stage and screen, and deconstructs accustomed socio-cultural boundaries. Alongside installations by the artist, the Kunstverein also presented Tellez's four most important films. La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (Rozelle Hospital, Sydney) (2004) is regarded as being exemplary for Tellez's pioneering film production.The reworked silent film Jeanne d'Arc (1928) and the film Twelve and a Marionette, which was shot in a psychiatric clinic, were shown as a double projection. Twelve women speak in very different ways about the institutional treatment of their illnesses (depression, schizophrenia). The juxtaposed projections of Jeanne d'Arc - who was stigmatized and persecuted in her day as a soul possessed and is recognized nowadays as a misunderstood visionary and national hero - place the patients' maladies in an altogether new light.In the film Oedipus Marshal (2006), Tellez stages Sophocles'classic tragedy, Oedipus Rex, with Western costumes and Japanese masks. An abandoned gold rush town in Colorado served as the backdrop. The masks and maskings in Tellez's films introduce a meta level. As ambivalent elements, they both conceal or demystify them at the same time; they destabilize personality boundaries, but also symbolize the facility that psychiatric patients - whom Tellez tends to employ as actors - have for mimicry.Letter on the Blind for the Use of Those Who See (2007) draws on the eponymous classic by Diderot and the Buddhist parable of the blind men and the elephant. The parable makes us aware of the fact that reality is by no means an objective constant, but defined instead by our own perception.Tellez's most recent film, Caligari und der Schlafwandler (Caligari and the Sleepwalker) (2008), is based on the 1919 Expressionist silent film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. In Tellez's interpretation, Dr. Caligari carries out a kind of therapeutic conversation with Cesare, who has been in a kind on somnambulist state for years and can only communicate by means of slabs of slate. The mixture of layers of reality, changes of identity, and polyphony are common thematic strands taken up by, but also implemented in terms of representational techniques by Tellez's films. By selecting the Erich Mendelsohn's icon of Expressionist architecture, the Einstein Tower in Potsdam, as the location for the film, he also points to an epoch of art and film history in which pathological disturbances were addressed for the first time and inspiration duly drawn from them.
