Sculpted out of Sky
Author: Felix Bongjoh
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490795510
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Sculpted Out of Sky consists of poems about man interacting with, and is shaped by, his environment in such a way that his activities and events are quite often governed by natural forces around him, especially in the sky, among other factors. It is also a metaphorical image of how life is psychologically sculpted out of birds, the sun, the moon, and other natural elements that affect or even govern his life—sculpted, as if out of a slab of sky (comparable to wood or metal), on which all is poetically sculpted to eternalize man’s image, good or bad, in an evolving world, often with space for evil, including conflict and war.

Ink Art
Author: Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588395049
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
"Featuring 70 works in various media--paintings, calligraphy, photographs, woodblock prints, video, and sculpture--that were created during the past three decades, Ink Art: Past as Present in Contemporary China will demonstrate how China's ancient pattern of seeking cultural renewal through the reinterpretation of past models remains a viable creative path. Although all of the artists have transformed their sources through new modes of expression, visitors will recognize thematic, aesthetic, or technical attributes in their creations that have meaningful links to China's artistic past. The exhibition will be organized thematically into four parts and will include such highlights as Xu Bing's dramatic Book from the Sky (ca. 1988), an installation that will fill an entire gallery; Family Tree (2000), a set of vivid photographs documenting a performance by Zhang Huan in which his facial features--and his identity--are obscured gradually by physiognomic texts that are inscribed directly onto his face; and Map of China (2006) by Ai Weiwei, which is constructed entirely of wood salvaged from demolished Qing dynasty temples." --
