Osvaldo Romberg +/- 70, Even by Damien Bright,Cameron Hu Pdf

Osvaldo Romberg is an Argentine artist living in the United States who has, over the past five decades, produced a consistently goading body of work that tackles questions of analysis, interpretation, and representation of art and art history. His own history of translocation-between Argentina, Israel, Europe, and the United States-and his firm commitment to family and teaching are mirrored by an art practice that persistently plays with questions of life, sex, death, and the complexities of language and mythology. Osvaldo Romberg +/-70, Even assembles classic texts by Marcelin Pleynet, Jean- Michel Rabate, Marjorie Welish, and others (including Romberg himself), and positions them alongside new interviews with the artist and fragmentary fictions written in conversation with his work. This volume also includes rare biographical materials, and provides a photographic survey of Romberg's work from the 1950s to the present.

Osvaldo Romberg by Osvaldo Romberg,Lóránd Hegyi,Hagai Segev Pdf

Une grande partie du travail d'Osvaldo Romberg est consacrée à la question de l'architecture : les plans sont pour l'artiste des éléments plastiques participant de sa narration utopique. Les aquarelles en apparence classiques d'Osvaldo Romberg soumettent le plan d'édifices existants - on reconnaît des temples antiques, des églises baroques, des bâtiments de Le Corbusier - à des confrontations et déformations qui font surgir un ensemble de narrations relatives à l'histoire des civilisations, où l'on devine tout un réseau d'enjeux à la fois historiques, sociologiques, économiques et anthropologiques.

Searching for Romberg by Aaron Levy Pdf

This book results from the Slought Foundation conference on artist Osvaldo Romberg, held at the University of Pennsylvania in Spring 2001. Contributors include: Gregory Flaxman, Alexi Kukuljevic, Reinaldo Laddaga, Aaron Levy, Robert Mahoney, Jean-Michel Rabaté, Osvaldo Romberg, Marjorie Welish, Andrew Zitcer. This means in some way (we must try) to sense again the pleasure of painting, to paint the painting, to try to define again and again in each work, what is the essence of painting. Art is unverifiable, we can merely approach it through exercises, which sometimes surmount their own limits and provides us with a mystique of expression if we are artists, and a mystique of perception if we are observers. - Osvaldo Romberg, pp. 129 "Rombergs work has passed through quite a number of stages, from the more analytic moment of the famously didactic chromatic value tables presented as so many "explicitations" of famous paintings, to a more synthetic and architectonic moment with the modelizations of churches and sacred spaces, and its dynamism has not stopped. Without attempting to foresee where it will go so as to expand and engage with our "post-medium" condition, to take up Krausss useful category, a category, let us note, elaborated in a discussion of a multi-media artist like Marcel Broodthaers, I would simply like to pause and stress the subjective position that both enables and frames this type of work. It is in this selfless or egoless egotism of the work as work that I can become one not with the artist, not with the Romantic myth of the genius, who from Picasso to Pollock still seduces once in a while, but with the work as it presents itself in its simplicity, purity and elegance. Then and only then can I "accompany" it, like for instance by humming once more, in a slightly lower scale: "Non.... Rrien, rrien de rrien, je ne rregrette rrien... Ni le bien, ni le mal, Tout ça mest bien égal! ... Et demain je rrecommence à zéro...." -- Jean-Michel Rabaté, pp. 54-55 "In the face of those for whom looking at formal art is either pretentious, meaningless, or both, it might be argued that Rombergs objects teach the lettered how to read a visual thing. For those who read, and are more comfortable contemplating literary rather than visual statements, conceptual art offers guidance in how to parse the image and attend to the implications of its grammatical undoing. Taxonomic schema mediate the verbal and visual realms of utopic knowledge, and Romberg answers Malevichs charting of form and style, Joseph Alberss charting of color, and Ad Reinhardts giving slide lectures on world art histories, by committing to spread sheets (or to the projected fantasies spread sheets would have) his anti-foundational analysis of art history. Though built, his artifacts are meant to be read, are made for those who engage knowledge in written form first." -- Marjorie Welish, pp. 16-17

Witchcraft and Welfare by Raquel Romberg Pdf

Persecuted as evil during colonial times, considered charlatans during the nation-building era, Puerto Rican brujos (witch-healers) today have become spiritual entrepreneurs who advise their clients not only in consultation with the spirits but also in compliance with state laws and new economic opportunities. Combining trance, dance, magic, and healing practices with expertise in the workings of the modern welfare state, they help lawyers win custody suits, sick employees resolve labor disability claims, single mothers apply for government housing, or corporation managers maximize their commercial skills. Drawing on extensive fieldwork among practicing brujos, this book presents a masterful history and ethnography of Puerto Rican brujería (witch-healing). Raquel Romberg explores how brujería emerged from a blending of popular Catholicism, Afro-Latin religions, French Spiritism, and folk Protestantism and also looks at how it has adapted to changes in state policies and responded to global flows of ideas and commodities. She demonstrates that, far from being an exotic or marginal practice in the modern world, brujería has become an invisible yet active partner of consumerism and welfare capitalism.

Suicide Social Dramas by Haim Hazan,Raquel Romberg Pdf

Through an ethnohistorical chronicling of the emotionally-laden treatment of selected suicide media-events, this book offers a neo-Durkheimean account of suicide, addressing its social-moral threat and the ensuing need to gloss over its unsettling incomprehensibility. An analysis of the social dramas, cultural performances, and suicide talk aired in the Israeli public sphere, it suggests that such public glossing practices atone for and bring about the symbolic rectification of the socially detrimental effects of suicide. Drawing on Durkheim’s thought on the social significance of suicide and the sacred cohesive power of society’s self-representations through rituals and commemorations, the authors revamp the contemporary pertinence of these cultural devices, showing how, in the process of reconstituting and redressing the disrupted order, suicide talk constitutes a revival mechanism of communal ‘life giving’. A rekindling of the Durkheimian approach to suicide that examines how society deals with suicide’s shattering of normative we-feelings, Suicide Social Dramas: Moral Breakdowns in the Israeli Public Sphere will appeal to scholars and students of sociology and anthropology with interests in social theory, Israel studies, suicide studies, and the interpretation of societal and cultural processes.

Encounters in Video Art in Latin America by Elena Shtromberg,Glenn Phillips Pdf

With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When it was first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, ethnic, and racial identity as well as the consequences of social inequality and ecological disasters have been fundamental to many artists’ practices. This compendium explores the history and current state of artistic experimentation with video throughout Latin America. Departing from the relatively small body of existing scholarship in English, much of which focuses on individual countries, this volume approaches the topic thematically, positioning video artworks from different periods and regions throughout Latin America in dialogue with each other. Organized in four broad sections—Encounters, Networks and Archives, Memory and Crisis, and Indigenous Perspectives—the book’s essays and interviews encourage readers to examine the medium of video across varied chronologies and geographies.

Fred Forest's Utopia by Michael F. Leruth Pdf

“France's most famous unknown artist,” the innovative media provocateur Fred Forest, precursor of Eduardo Kac, Jodi, the Yes Men, RT Mark, and the Guerilla Girls. The innovative French media artist and prankster-provocateur Fred Forest first gained notoriety in 1972 when he inserted a small blank space in Le Monde, called it 150 cm2 of Newspaper (150 cm2 de papier journal), and invited readers to fill in the space with their own work and mail their efforts to him. In 1977, he satirized speculation in both the art and real estate markets by offering the first parcel of officially registered “artistic square meters” of undeveloped rural land for sale at an art auction. Although praised by leading media theorists—Vilém Flusser lauded Forest as “the artist who pokes holes in media”—Forest's work has been largely ignored by the canon-making authorities. Forest calls himself “France's most famous unknown artist.” In this book, Michael Leruth offers the first book-length consideration of this iconoclastic artist, examining Forest's work from the 1960s to the present. Leruth shows that Forest chooses alternative platforms (newspapers, mock commercial ventures, video-based interactive social interventions, media hacks and hybrids, and, more recently, the Internet) that are outside the exclusive precincts of the art world. A fierce critic of the French contemporary art establishment, Forest famously sued the Centre Pompidou in 1994 over its opaque acquisition practices. After making foundational contributions to Sociological Art in the 1970s and the Aesthetics of Communication in the 1980s, the pioneering Forest saw the Internet as another way for artists to bypass the art establishment in the 1990s. Arguing that there is a strong utopian quality in Forest's work, Leruth sees this utopianism not as naive or conventional but as a reverse utopianism: rather than envisioning an impossible ideal, Forest reenvisions and probes the quasi-utopia of our media-augented everyday reality. The interface is the symbolic threshold to be crossed with an open mind.
