Making Worlds. Fare Mondi. 53rd International Art Exhibition 2009 Exhibition & Participating Countries Collateral Events
Venice, Marsillio. 2009, 1st Edition. Trade Paperback. Book, 2 volumes. Age toned to spines, one bumped to the head with a short tear. Card slipcase has a corner knock and a partly erased pencil marking. Bound and glued originally just to the back cover(DYNAMIC SPINE), some one has added glue at the spine. The new glue is detaching and the binding is resuming its original format. These huge tomes on heavy gloss paper weigh over 2.3 kg packed, postage will exceed the quoted amount VERY significantly particularly if you are overseas.Putting together the prompts and provocations of contemporary art, the catalogue of the 53rd International Art Exhibition in two volumes, one for the national participations and one for the exhibition set up by Daniel Birnbaum, is a genuine conceptual extension to the Biennale. Making Worlds is its key: an analysis of the creative process that leads to the work of art, but also the director's personal pathway that led to the conception of a powerful exhibition. Alongside the documentation of the works shown, it is possible for the first time to 'spy on' the inspiration, the myriad elements of that fantastic puzzle that is an exhibition, through an insert personally edited by Birnbaum. The basic idea of Making Worlds has its final interpretation in the book, thanks to the graphic design by Stockholm Design Lab using simple but high impact visual language consisting of thousands of almost craft details (the decomposition of national flags, the binding, the use of different papers, the variety of covers). Very good-.

Maritime Exchange and the Making of Norman Worlds

¶ Summary Between c. 1000 and c. 1200 AD, emigrants from Normandy travelled long distances from their homeland, spreading their political influence to the shores of the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Baltic. Their willingness to cross the seas gave Normans access to new territories and new ideas, extending their authority and reputation far beyond northern France. But how and why were these Norman groups able to develop such power? The chapters collected here engage directly with this question by examining the sites and processes that underpinned this expansion. The contributors ask what different Norman groups took from the societies around them, and what they rejected; they consider how non-Norman powers ? in Ireland, England, the Fatimid Caliphate, Byzantium, the Holy Land, and Rus' ? responded to, and were shaped by, their interactions with Normans in contested zones; and they examine how Normans understood and imagined their own relationship with the sea as a place of exchange, a zone of uncertain control, and an ambiguous kind of border. Drawing together material culture and written evidence, this far-reaching volume offers a fully-developed discussion of how, and in what ways, these Norman worlds and societies could be said to be ?transcultural', and in doing so, makes a compelling case that attention to movement and maritime exchange must be central to our understanding of the extension of Norman influence in this period.
