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

Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture Ruinous Garden

Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture Ruinous Garden

This book examines four contemporary sites of visual culture in East Asia through the poetic prism of the “ruinous garden. ” Framing destroyed discarded and displaced material objects within a rhetoric of development and relating this to the experience of ethnic/national culture the book presents succinct analyses of visual works as well as cultural criticisms centered on space in metropolitan Japan and Hong Kong China. These analyses are placed in dialog with approaches from postcolonial texts addressing development and fractures in representation. Additionally the book suggests graphic design as a form of retrospective cultural thinking encompassing visual and invisible modernity as well as an attachment to disappearing space. Offering a unique and thorough analysis of Japanese visual culture combining discussion on photography installation art and graphic design as well as integrating material from Hong Kong visual culture in discussions of identity this book will appeal to students and scholars of visual culture in East Asia environmental art and environmental humanities. | Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture Ruinous Garden

In the Garden of the Gods Models of Kingship from the Sumerians to the Seleucids

In the Garden of the Gods Models of Kingship from the Sumerians to the Seleucids

Examining the evolution of kingship in the Ancient Near East from the time of the Sumerians to the rise of the Seleucids in Babylon this book argues that the Sumerian emphasis on the divine favour that the fertility goddess and the Sun god bestowed upon the king should be understood metaphorically from the start and that these metaphors survived in later historical periods through popular literature including the Epic of Gilgameš and the Enuma Eliš. The author’s research shows that from the earliest times Near Eastern kings and their scribes adapted these metaphors to promote royal legitimacy in accordance with legendary exempla that highlighted the role of the king as the establisher of order and civilization. As another Gilgameš and later as a pious servant of Marduk the king renewed divine favour for his subjects enabling them to share the 'Garden of the Gods'. Seleucus and Antiochus found these cultural ideas as they had evolved in the first millennium BCE extremely useful in their efforts to establish their dynasty at Babylon. Far from playing down cultural differences the book considers the ideological agendas of ancient Near Eastern empires as having been shaped mainly by class — rather than race-minded elites. | In the Garden of the Gods Models of Kingship from the Sumerians to the Seleucids

Senses of Mystery Engaging with Nature and the Meaning of Life

Senses of Mystery Engaging with Nature and the Meaning of Life

In this beautifully written book David E. Cooper uses a gentle walk through a tropical garden – the view of the fields and hills beyond it the sound of birds voices and flutes the reflection of light in water the play of shadows among the trees and the presence of strange animals – as an opportunity to reflect on experiences of nature and the mystery of existence. Covering an extensive range of topics from Daoism to dogs from gardening to walking from Zen to Debussy Cooper succeeds in conveying some deep and difficult philosophical ideas about the meaning of life in an engaging manner showing how those ideas bear upon the practical question of how we should relate to our world and live our lives. A thought-provoking and compelling book Senses of Mystery is a triumph of both storytelling and philosophy. | Senses of Mystery Engaging with Nature and the Meaning of Life

Renaissance Porticoes and Painted Pergolas Nature and Culture in Early Modern Italy

Renaissance Porticoes and Painted Pergolas Nature and Culture in Early Modern Italy

This book is the first study of the portico and its decorative program as a cultural phenomenon in Renaissance Italy. Focusing on a largely neglected group of porticoes decorated with painted pergolas that appeared in Rome and environs in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries it tells the story of how an element of the garden—the pergola—became a pictorial topos in portico decoration and evolved hand in hand with its real cousin in the garden into an object for cultural emulation among the educated patrons of early modern Rome. The liminality of both the portico and the pergola at the interface of architecture and garden is key to the interpretation of these architectural and painted forms which rests on the intersecting frameworks of the classical tradition natural history and the cultural identity of the aristocracy. In the mediating space of the Renaissance portico the illusionism pergola created an art gallery a natural history museum and a virtual garden where one could engage in leisurely strolls learned conversations appreciation of art and scientific investigation as well as extensive travel across time and space. The book proposes the interpretation that the illusionistic pergola was an artistic formula for the early modern perception of nature. | Renaissance Porticoes and Painted Pergolas Nature and Culture in Early Modern Italy
