Shiko Munkakata, 1903-1975: Works of Paper

New York, Japan Society, 1983. softcover. Gray illustrated stapled wraps with white lettering; 47 pp. bw illustrations. "Japan House Gallery presents this exhibition of Shiko Munakata's works on paper both as a tribute to one of modern Japan's important artists and, hopefully, as an opportunity for a new assessment of the art he so abundantly and enthusiastically produced. That he lived in the full tide of glory must invite comparison with another figure mightily celebrated in this time, Picasso. Though Picasso's fame was vaster and different from that of the Japanese, they yet had in common enviable success, overwhelming energy, and productivity of a high order throughout long lives. Munakata's medium, however, was not an international one. His work was patricular to the history of technique in one country, but this does not diminishe the accomplishment." - quoted from introduction.

The Self, Humans and Machines with Their Residues

Taipai, Taiwan, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, 2019. Softcover. glossy white wraps w/ black & green printing. 180 pgs w/ color illustrations. text in Chinese and English. This exhibition brings together 15 installation and sculpture pieces to explore the coexistence between the self, humans, and machines, and it also serves as a response to the linkage and the re-imagination of people to their own culture and traditions (customs, identity, folk beliefs, rituals) and machines' nomadic accessibility (as seen with cyberspace and with data storage, retrieval, and access, as well as the right to command). Chang proposes different perspectives on issues that include the replacement of human labor by increasingly more sophisticated technology and the gradual disappearance of folklore and related objects due to the algorithms applied. Through his art practice and a discourse on cultural assets, two points are examined in the exhibition. The first reflects on historical remnants, and with pseudo-artifacts, images of deities presented as art, emphasis is placed on seeing disappearing traditional culture through a positive way of evaluating material functionality. The second focus tells of the non-opposing relationship between humans and machines, with artworks such as the sound-activated installation, The Anatomy of Asclepius, that shows sound could be a type of symbol or intangible language that connects its surrounding environment. The artwork collects sounds from the exhibition space, with the mechanical installation activated by hi-tech media. When an audience steps foot into the exhibition space, technological interactions with artificial intelligence are prompted by him or her, which shows that the development of technology and the human race are co-dependent on one another. Chang seeks to propose through the exhibition a different way of looking at the conundrums we are facing in the world today.--Taipei Fine Arts Museum Website.

Zao Wou-Ki: Watercolors and Ceramics

Lewes, GILES, An Imprint of D Giles Limited, 2023. Hardcover. Blue and color-illustrated boards with white lettering; 128 pp.; richly illustrated. "Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013) was the first artist of the Chinese diaspora to achieve international recognition and was one of France's most important painters of the post-war era and beyond. His large abstract canvases were in step with those of New York School artists of the late 1940s and 50s and emerged from the growing international impulse for non-objective painting. Zao married western vanguard painting with Chinese traditions of calligraphy and ink-drawing and in doing so created a powerful personal aesthetic that was uniquely his own. Drawn largely from European private collections, the works of art in this catalog have almost never been exhibited before and were deeply personal to the artist. Zao worked in watercolor throughout his long life and this catalog features examples from as early as 1960. But during his last years, the artist rediscovered the medium with newfound enthusiasm and turned increasingly to nature as the source of inspiration. In 2008, he gave up oil-painting entirely, and for the next two years, watercolor was his primary form of expression. The ceramics consist of two main groups--plates produced in the late 1970s in association with Sévres, bearing designs created by Zao expressly for this purpose, and later designs from the 2000s painted directly on vases, bowls and plates that were subsequently editioned by Maison Bernardaud in Limoges." -- Back Cover.

Everyday Fictionality: Behold Shadows of Illusion

Taipei, Taiwan, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, 2019. Softcover. green illustrated wraps w/ white & grey printing. light grey, illustrated paper dustjacket. 107 pgs w/ color illustrations. text in Chinese & English. Included in the "2019 Solo Exhibition Series II" is the immersive video installation, "Everyday Fictionality: Beholding Shadows of Illusion" by Sera Chen. Through studies on art, the artist seeks to deconstruct then reconstruct certain social issues, the environment, and existing "natureness", with new ways of seeing specific subject matters and ideologies proposed. Viewers are invited to examine ordinary everyday occurrences and things through the use of their own physical perceptions and to explore any meaning and implications that have been purposely constructed. Chen's artwork, The Habitat on The Skyline, is a video installation that shows the ubiquitous but unique residential view found in Taipei with rooftop addon units, which are dwellings that have emerged out of people's basic needs and are structures that have not been constructed based on precise architectural measurements and calculations. Chen sees this kind of structures as sculptures floating in mid-air in Taipei, and they represent a form of everyday aesthetic. Slowly playing on the duo-channel video installation are images of roof-top units shot at different locations, and the objective of the artwork is to encourage the audience to think about the connection between the organic emergence of these structures and Taiwan's socioeconomic and geographical conditions.--Taipei Fine Arts Museum. VG (light edge-wear to covers; minor rubbing to corners. jacket has light scuffs. curl to front cover. tight binding) .
