商品描述

Original essays and visual arts projects that explore the understudied breadth and richness of American artist Tony Smith's work in architecture.

Against Reason: Volume 2 is the companion publication to Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné Architecture, the second in a two-volume, four-book printed publication series dedicated to Tony Smith's sculpture and architecture. Edited by curator and historian James Voorhies, Against Reason gathers newly commissioned essays together with visual arts projects by practitioners and critics, including Mario Gooden, Christopher Ketcham, Marta Kuzma, Peter L'Official, R.H. Quaytman, and Jasmine Rault. Their contributions from a wide range of disciplines-- from American studies, architecture, and art history to theory, design, and visual art--place Smith's architectural design work in dialogue with contemporary culture, expanding perspectives on the artist's canonical work and offering fresh twenty-first-century insights.

The Against Reason books complicate and pluralize the very idea of the catalogue raisonné to challenge the monolithic place these forms have in writing art history by providing a more nuanced and historically rich lens through which the Tony Smith archive and his work can be read. In this case, the dual-publication project is an innovative approach to scholarship that situates Smith within contemporary culture, thus making evident his ongoing relevance in the fields of art and design.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

原創論文和視覺藝術項目,探索美國藝術家Tony Smith在建築領域中尚未被充分研究的廣度和豐富性。

Against Reason: Volume 2Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné Architecture的伴隨出版物,這是專門針對Tony Smith的雕塑和建築的兩卷本、四本印刷出版系列中的第二本。由策展人和歷史學家James Voorhies編輯,Against Reason匯集了新委託的論文以及來自實踐者和評論家的視覺藝術項目,包括Mario Gooden、Christopher Ketcham、Marta Kuzma、Peter L'Official、R.H. Quaytman和Jasmine Rault。他們的貢獻來自多個學科——從美國研究、建築和藝術史到理論、設計和視覺藝術——將Smith的建築設計作品與當代文化進行對話,擴展對這位藝術家經典作品的視角,並提供全新的二十一世紀見解。

Against Reason系列書籍使得目錄作品的概念變得複雜和多元化,挑戰這些形式在藝術史寫作中所佔的單一地位,通過提供一個更細緻和歷史豐富的視角,使Tony Smith的檔案及其作品得以被解讀。在這種情況下,這一雙重出版項目是一種創新的學術方法,將Smith置於當代文化中,從而顯示他在藝術和設計領域中的持續相關性。
