Abstract: Initially trained as an abstract painter, Mary Corse (b. 1945) emerged in the mid-1960s as one of the few women associated with the California Light and Space movement. This catalogue is the first comprehensive examination of this singular artist's work, and features new scholarship and object studies that underscore how Corse’s groundbreaking approach to light, perception, and subjectivity forged a new language of painting. Over more than five decades, Corse has maintained a commitment to abstraction and belief in modernist painting even as she charted her own course through her studies in quantum physics and investigations into a range of unconventional materials, from Tesla coils and neon to glass microbeads and glitter. Kim Conaty’s essay investigates how the artist’s early experiments with light—creating “paintings” made of fluorescent or neon—made way for her subsequent explorations into how light might be integrated into the surface of her canvases through the interplay of reflection and refraction. Corse’s exquisite paintings activate the viewer in the creation of the perceptual experience: the kinetic effect of the work is contingent upon the movement of the body through space. As Corse has explained: “Art is not on the wall, it’s in your perception.”.

#139477 Letteratura Straniera Opere
Traduz.di Alberto Rollo. Milano, Feltrinelli Ed. 2001, cm.12,5x19,5, pp.478, brossura cop.fig.a col. Collana Universale Economica. Un romanzo, in cui l'io narrante - lo spaesato scrittore Michael Owen - si muove fra la propria storia di illusioni e trame adolescenziali, di ambizioni azzoppate e di amori frustrati, e quella di una famiglia di rapaci dominatori, gli Winshaw. Saldamente insediati ai posti di comando della finanza e della società inglesi, i componenti della famiglia Winshaw incarnano il delirio di potere che ha segnato gli anni di Margaret Thatcher, portando l'Inghilterra allo sfascio.
