L’ONTOLOGIE DU LIEU
VOYAGE AU PAYS DU NON-OU
Katayoun Rouhi
Edité par l’Harmattan
Préface de Christian Jambet
L'ontologie du lieu, Voyage au pays du "non-où" comme le titre
l'indique, est une initiation au voyage, au sens avicénien du terme. Une
tentative de répondre au pourquoi de l'acte de création en général et
en peinture en particulier, ceci en invitant le lecteur à s'interroger
sur le sens premier du lieu où l'indicible de l'art habite. L'espace de
l'acte créateur est mis en résonance avec le "monde imaginal", fondement
de la pensée du philosophe iranien du XIIe siècle Sohravardi.

SIGNS OF OUR TIMES
FROM CALLIGRAPHY TO CALLIGRAFFITI
Edited by Rose Issa
Foreword by Hans Ulrich Obrist
With Contributions by Juliet Cestar and Venetia Porter
Signs
of Our Times : From Calligraphy to Calligraffiti spans six decadesof
art from the Arab world and Iran. It features artists who have used
either Arabic or Persian script in their work, or who have been
creatively influenced by the morphology of letters.
Beginning in
the early 1950s, artists in the Arab world and Iran took inspiration
from their own cultures, even as they were exposed to international
concepts and aesthetics. The result was an alternative and original
approach to modernism and contemporary art.
The fifty artists in
this curated selection represent three generations, from important
pioneers who developed a new aesthetic language after their countries
established independence to contemporary artists who reside
internationally.
Artworks in a variety of media are interspersed
with artists’ statements, essays by experts, poems and relevant
literature, putting the innovative use of words in art into personal and
historical contexts.Published by Merrell Publishers London - New York
