Includes bibliographical references.Le corps prodigieux = The prodigious body / Laurence Schmidlin -- Des êtres de sensations = Feeling subjects / Lisa Le Feuvre -- Le temps du corps: les intensités de Kiki Smith = The time of the body: Kiki Smith's intensities / Amelia Jones.The art of Kiki Smith is a meditation on the body. The American artist, born 1954, observes every aspect of corporeal materiality and the conditions shaping the time on earth of the body political, spiritual, domestic, fleshly, base, and universal. She uses a wide range of materials and craft techniques, but takes a particular interest in the fragility and expressive potential of paper and its resemblance to skin. Flesh is also suggested by wax and bronze in sculptures, often cast from living models including herself. This new monograph focuses on the sensory dimension of Kiki Smith's oeuvre that requires active percipience and a sharpening of our senses. Richly illustrated with around one-hundred of her drawings, prints, sculptures, and videos, the essays confront the reader with his or her own physicality and invites a reflection of our role within our entire environment. Exhibition: Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne, Switzerland (09.10.2020 - 10.01.2021).

Includes bibliographical references."Since the early 17th century, Europe and Persia have been weaving bonds of friendship. A legendary place between Europe and Asia, Persia became the longed-for destination of many travelers, tradesmen, and friars and knights of various orders. They brought works of art and luxury goods with them and took finest silks and precious rugs back home. This exchange has left traces in European and Persian art of the 17th and early 18th centuries. Only few people today are aware of these once good, friendly relationships. The dispute on nuclear weapons and the regime's political repression and religious fundamentalism dominate our perception of Iran. Yet despite of these difficult circumstances, modern Tehran has a rich and vibrant artistic life. This book documents the Persian-European artistic dialogue over four centuries. In particular it presents work by seven contemporary artists from Tehran and thus provides an insight into a new modern Persia in exchange with the global art world."--Publisher description.
