By the early 1960s, theorists like Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Foucault, and Barthes had created a world ruled by signifying structures and pictured through the grids of language, information, and systems. Artists soon followed, turning to language and its related forms to devise a new, conceptual approach to art making. Examining the ways in which artists shared the structuralist devotion to systems of many sorts, Systems We Have Loved shows that even as structuralism encouraged the advent of conceptual art, it also raised intractable problems that artists were forced to confront. Considering such notable art figures as Mary Kelly, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson, and Rosalind Krauss, Eve Meltzer argues that during this period the visual arts depicted and tested the far-reaching claims about subjectivity espoused by theorists. She offers a new way of framing two of the twentieth century’s most transformative movements—one artistic, one expansively theoretical—and she reveals their shared dream—or nightmare—of the world as a system of signs. By endorsing this view, Meltzer proposes, these artists drew attention to the fictions and limitations of this dream, even as they risked getting caught in the very systems they had adopted. The first book to describe art’s embrace of the world as an information system, Systems We Have Loved breathes new life into the study of conceptual art.

Each of the five volumes in the Stone Art Theory Institutes series, and the seminars on which they are based, brings together a range of scholars who are not always directly familiar with one another’s work. The outcome of each of these convergences is an extensive and “unpredictable conversation” on knotty and provocative issues about art. This fourth volume in the series, Beyond the Aesthetic and the Anti-Aesthetic, focuses on questions revolving around the concepts of the aesthetic, the anti-aesthetic, and the political. The book is about the fact that now, almost thirty years after Hal Foster defined the anti-aesthetic, there is still no viable alternative to the dichotomy between aesthetics and anti- or nonaesthetic art. The impasse is made more difficult by the proliferation of identity politics, and it is made less negotiable by the hegemony of anti-aesthetics in academic discourse on art. The central question of this book is whether artists and academicians are free of this choice in practice, in pedagogy, and in theory. The contributors are Stéphanie Benzaquen, J. M. Bernstein, Karen Busk-Jepsen, Luis Camnitzer, Diarmuid Costello, Joana Cunha Leal, Angela Dimitrakaki, Alexander Dumbadze, T.

A consideration of how contemporary art can offer a deeper understanding of selfhood. With Each One Another, Rachel Haidu argues that contemporary art can teach us how to understand ourselves as selves—how we come to feel oneness, to sense our own interiority, and to shift between the roles that connect us to strangers, those close to us, and past and future generations. Haidu looks to intergenerational pairings of artists to consider how three aesthetic vehicles––shape in painting, characters in film and video, and roles in dance––allow us to grasp selfhood. Better understandings of our selves, she argues, complement our thinking about identity and subjecthood. She shows how Philip Guston’s figurative works explore shapes’ descriptive capacities and their ability to investigate history, while Amy Sillman’s paintings allow us to rethink expressivity and oneness. Analyzing a 2004 video by James Coleman, Haidu explores how we enter characters through their interior monologues, and she also looks at how a 2011 film by Steve McQueen positions a protagonist’s refusal to speak as an argument for our right to silence. In addition, Haidu examines how Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker’s distribution of roles across dancers invites us to appreciate formal structures that separate us from one another while Yvonne Rainer’s choreography shows how such formal structures also bring us together. Through these examples, Each One Another reveals how artworks allow us to understand oneness, interiority, and how we become fluid agents in the world, and it invites us to examine—critically and forgivingly—our attachments to selfhood.

Most of us have heard the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and WHAT they did? Even more importantly, what Eve DID with the serpent, but not WHY she did it and WHY the serpent targeted her? In this book we talk about the "WHY" and the purpose behind this happening to her. Who is the woman and why her? She has been chosen for a far greater purpose than what we've seen. She has a much-needed voice to be heard. It's time to hear all sides of the story and for her to tell her side. She has the right to be heard, and not just "Be Silent!" She will be vindicated for all the right reasons. There's a much bigger picture here and a story that must be told! The enemy has proven from the beginning how much he hates marriage, love, unity and family. It's not by chance we have such an attack on the family structure. The first thing the devil did, was to divide Eve and Adam. God adds and multiplies, while this enemy subtracts and divides. God gives life, the relationship and family, the enemy takes life, the relationship and the family. Divorce and chaos are on the rise. This enemy is after your covenant, joy and peace. The enemy understands the woman has been given the power (glory) to give life, to build relationships and he targeted her to tear down her life and to help him build his kingdom. How long will the woman be silent? War or peace starts in the household before it hits the community, nation and ultimately the world. World wars started in a thought...the mind...in a room. Satan is going for the mind. We're on the brink of something much greater than we may care to admit, or acknowledgment, but it's here! With record breaking numbers, even in a pandemic! Women are becoming the new face to leaders of this modern world in which we live. To ignore facts, of a power much greater than her own that's driving her, we would be foolish, to say the least. It's as though something is in a hurry to establish her in power. She has come so far, but still, there's so much more work to do. In this book are some acknowledgments of Great Women Achievements throughout history. Amazingly, throughout history she has been the target for rejection and abuse. While being the "Apple of God's Eye" she's still just an "Object" of someone else's desire. Woman you have come a long way, it's your time. Know your place! Don't allow anyone to use you as steps for only them to rise, leaving you down and under. The Woman is Lucifer's replacement! The greatest work God has ever done is hidden in her because she was made to produce. It is that creation! "God's Masterpiece" from heaven! She is destined for greatness she always has been. Now, we are seeing the fulfillment of prophesy of her being put in her proper place to lead. Which is above and not beneath. We are in desperate need for Great Leadership. Man has always tried to put her in her place according to what they thought that might be BUT God always had a place for her. From, the beginning God created her from greatness for greatness. This SPECIAL EDITION will highlight some of the events stemming from COVID-19 and its variants. We are all challenged to embrace a new normal because what used to be normal regrettably has become nothing more than a memory. History has proven that we are more receptable of change when we face tragedy. God has always been with us. Let "Why I Satan Hate The Woman" take you on a journey.
