Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This full color journey navigates the community centered arts projects of Hugh Merrill, Kansas City based printmaker, educator and activist.From the introduction: 'Major strides have been made in college programs over the past several years. Many times, social practice curriculum has evolved from printmaking, which is a primarily democratic media, similar to social arts. Social arts are a form of work that everyone can participate in and where everyone can create. There is no longer the question of what art can be, or who can be considered an artist. The application of creative thinking makes it possible to affect people from a potent place where they live, where the work becomes relevant to them. In an age where images are everywhere and are used continually in advertising and popular culture, it is not surprising that the age of image-based art is not as important as it once was. Although exhibiting work maintains importance for reflection, the validation of the art is no longer dependent on a gallery wall. It has become the people it serves.'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a survey of the studio and community work of Hugh Merrill from 1968 to 2011. Merrill's mantra is 'I draw everyday,' and he balances his role as an activist to work with amazing consistency in the privacy of his studio. His works have received numerous accolades and high recognition, including pieces in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.A thread runs through his 50-year career of creating prints, drawings and paintings: his abstract and landscape forms seem to exist in a world of weightlessness, dislocation, and are inhabited by partly deteriorating structures of wood and stone.He learned well the geometry of his mentors Al Held and Gabor Peterdi. Merrill sees mark making as the interplay of space and form shifting on the surface of the paper.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Journey through a lifetime in the work of printmaker Hugh Merrill, in his words.My work and approaches to make art have significantly changed, and yet in many ways, they have remained the same. In the past 30 years, I have worked as a community artist, producing complex arts actions both locally and internationally. I have also continued my studio work, including working on sequential etchings each year. The two seemingly separate modes of creativity, studio art and socially engaged art, feed and provide freedom and validity for each other. These consistent and varied interests in my life as an artist have always led me to return to that 'first' etching. The advice provided by teachers and other artists, and the process I have developed over this time still seems new, deeply valid and refreshes my imagination and desire to engage in a continuing dialogue of creative discovery.Each new generation defines the values of a discipline. When I started my work in 1968, there were two main currents in contemporary art, pop art and abstract expressionism. These two movements strongly influenced the direction a generation of print artists was taking. Always tilting the present conceptual views were artists such as: Peter Milton, Warrington Colescott, Lynne Allen, Ruth Weisberg and June Wayne. All of these people approached print from the depths of their own unique studio narrative. Today we hear of the Outlaws of printmaking: Tom Huck, Bill Fick, Sean Starwars, Michael Krueger, Jenny Schmid and other rambunctious print artists. To a great degree, printmakers have always followed a different drummer, filling the role of outlaws and expressing their own eccentric visions. Where will that vision go next What new artist and discoveries will grow out of this magic discipline.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Homeless, with Honor is the second photography documentary book by Olathe based artist, Sharon Rodriguez. This book chronicles veterans, individuals, homeless families and includes an in-depth portfolio of a homeless camp, giving viewers direct access to the day to day lives of those humans living on the periphery of the wealthy suburbs in Johnson County, Kansas. As with the first edition, Homeless, not Invisible (EMP Books, 2017), there are hand-written accounts of life and experiences of each person included in the book. Rodriguez exhibits a unique sensitivity to the struggle of homeless individuals, and creates from a place of consent and care with a deep conviction in the dignity of these disenfranchised individuals. Much like the purpose of the famed photos of depression era poverty by Dorothea Lange, it is essential that our society be aware of those living at the fringes and Rodriguez achieves this with grace, dignity and ethics. The book follows fourteen individuals, examining their daytime safe spaces and caregivers as well as the camps and cars which serve as sanctuaries by night. Rodriguez also includes information about the whereabouts of folks featured in Homeless, not Invisible, as well as a section of how an interested person can help.…
