Thinking the Sculpture Garden Art Plant Landscape

Thinking the Sculpture Garden Art Plant Landscape

This innovative book poses two deceptively simple questions: what is a sculpture garden and what happens when you give equal weight to the main elements of landscape planting and artwork? Its wide-ranging frame of reference including the USA Europe and Japan is brought into focus through Tremenheere Sculpture Garden Cornwall with which the book begins and ends. Effectively less than 15 years old and largely the work of one man Tremenheere affords an opportunity to examine as work-in-progress the creation of a new kind of sculpture garden. Including a historical overview the book traverses multiple ways of seeing and experiencing sculpture gardens culminating in an exploration of their relevance as 'cultural ecology' in the context of globalisation urbanisation and climate change. The thinking here is non-dualist and broadly aligned with New Materialisms and Material Feminisms to explore our place as humans in the non-human world on which we depend. Eminent contributors including John Dixon Hunt George Descombes Bernard Lassus and David Leatherbarrow approach these issues through practices and theories of landscape architecture; garden and art making; history and writing; and philosophy. Richly illustrated with over 100 images including a colour plate section the book will primarily appeal to those engaged in professional or academic research along with sculpture garden visitors who will find new and surprising ways of experiencing plants and art in natural and urban settings. | Thinking the Sculpture Garden Art Plant Landscape

Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

This book studies recent music in the western classical tradition offering a critique of current analytical/theoretical approaches and proposing alternatives. The critique addresses the present fringe status of recent music sometimes described as crossover postmodern post-classical post-minimalist etc. and demonstrates that existing descriptive languages and analytical approaches do not provide adequate tools to address this music in positive and productive terms. Existing tools and concepts were developed primarily in the mid-20th century in tandem with the high modernist compositional aesthetic and they have changed little since then. The aesthetics of music composition on the other hand have been in constant transformation. Lochhead proposes new ways to conceive musical works their structurings of musical experience and time and the procedures and goals of analytic close reading. These tools define investigative procedures that engage the multiple perspectives of composers performers and listeners and that generate conceptual modes unique to each work. In action they rebuild a conceptual methodological and experiential place for recent music. These new approaches are demonstrated in analyses of four pieces: Kaija Saariaho’s Lonh (1996) Sofia Gubaidulina’s Second String Quartet (1987) Stacy Garrop’s String Quartet no. 2 Demons and Angels (2004-05) and Anna Clyne’s Choke (2004). This book defies the prediction of classical music’s death and will be of interest to scholars and musicians of classical music and those interested in music theory musicology and aural culture. | Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis
