About this Book
Over the past century, an art form has emerged that draws from the worlds of visual art and music. Sound art’s roots can be found in the experimental work of Italian Futurism, Dada, and later the Fluxus group and the pioneering efforts of the American composer and artist John Cage. In the wake of this groundbreaking work, sound art began to mature into a movement, and artists explored the interactive possibilities of sound and in turn created entirely new modes of experiencing and engaging with art. In this volume, the complete story of sound art is told by one of the country’s leading critics and scholars. The author traces the history of this form of art–highlighting the convergence of the indie world bands such as Sonic Youth with the art world–looking at the critical cross-pollination that has led to some of the most important and challenging art being produced today, including work by Christian Marclay, LaMonte Young, Janet Cardiff, Rodney Graham, and Laurie Anderson, among many others.

就外在的概念而言,每一根獨立的線或繪畫的形就是一種元素。就內在的概念而言,元素不是形本身,而是活躍在其中的內在張力。——康定斯基
《康定斯基論點線面》是康定斯基的重要理論著作《藝術中的精神》的續篇。在這本書中他系統地闡釋了對繪畫元素的認識,他對每一種繪畫元素都作了外在的和內在的兩主面分析。康定斯基自稱這本書的分析是“顯微鏡式的”。 ...繼續閱讀

作者維多利亞.芬利是一個英國人,曾在聖安德魯斯大學就讀,具有社會人類學背景,專攻亞洲文化,曾在香港當記者和藝術編輯。
此書充滿了被遺忘的事實和迷人的傳說……讀完它再去賞畫,您看到的將不再是一幅畫,而是顔料世界的一份密碼圖。
——《每日電訊報》
維多利亞·芬利從小癡迷色彩,自童年時代就立志探究每一種顔色的起源與變遷。她在閱讀大量有關色彩的書籍之後,不辭勞苦走訪世界各地,尋取色彩的第一手資料,足迹遍及南美、澳大利亞、阿富汗、伊朗、印度等地,她甚至到過中國的敦煌和法門寺。沿途的發現常常讓她大吃一驚:洋紅原本出自南美洲仙人掌上的一種寄生蟲——胭脂蟲的鮮血,而昂貴的紫色則來自海蝸牛的眼淚!她在講述每一種色彩的來龍去脈的同時,又穿插進旅途中的逸聞趣事,使得閱讀本書成爲一次輕鬆迷人、多姿多彩的色彩旅行。

任何人家中都至少有一本繪本,孩提時代讀過的繪本教人一生難忘。
對孩子來說,通往人類文化和社會的入口正是繪本。
倘若你非常喜愛繪本,請將這種心情流傳到下一世代,為了送給珍惜重視的人,為了深愛的孩子,
你也來製作繪本吧。
製作繪本並非難事。對孩子而言,比起繪畫技巧,他們會讀到更多製作者的心意。如果你對孩子抱著很深的感情,就一定能製作出好繪本。要成為繪本作家,應該要學會用新方法賞析繪本。在本書之前,尚未有過從設計角度切入解說繪本的教材,透過本書,從繪本設計的基礎學起,進而製作出相當貼近孩子的繪本。
這裡選的繪本不是專家學者的推薦,而是挑出能夠留在人們心中的繪本。繪本是給一般人閱讀的,通常是孩子在讀,每個人心裡對繪本都存有各式各樣的記憶和印象。請先回想並確認在你自己心中的繪本是什麼模樣?那將會是你創作的原點。 ...繼續閱讀

他是人人喊打的過街老鼠,
還是衝撞體制的地下英雄?
台灣塗鴉客Bbrother的新青年行動事件簿
躲警察,上法院,還是要塗鴉!
台灣爭議性最高的塗鴉客,自2005年起組「上山打游擊」團體,在政大校園裡噴漆引發話題爭議後,又因為佔領空屋運動、華山古蹟的塗鴉事件、政大河堤的「凶殺案塗鴉事件」,頻頻引起媒體與社會關注。他充滿政治意識的模板塗鴉大量出現在台北街頭,內容包括反全球化、反威權、反戰到聲援楊儒門、挺樂生等等。而Bbrother個人亦實際參與聲援楊儒門獄中絕食、反WTO、集遊惡法修法聯盟靜走抗爭等行動。
本書是直擊這位「傳奇創作者」的第一手紀錄。Bbrother選擇塗鴉,這個遊走在法律邊緣的方式創作發聲。他在書中勇敢道出自己這一代年輕人面對理想與現實時的矛盾與掙扎,以及衝撞威權與體制的憤怒和虛無,內容坦率卻又玩世不恭,讓我們彷彿見到了一位「台灣新世代的麥田捕手」。
作者簡介
Bbrother
1982生,台北人,自學的台灣塗鴉客。
畢業於政大廣告系,Bbrother的稱號,取自歐威爾小說《一九八四》中的「老大哥」(Big Brother)。總是拿自己開玩笑,相信許多常人不相信的事情,像是塗鴉可以改變世界、解放校園之種種。於是他把學校塗成紐約地下鐵,以街頭塗鴉,進駐廢墟辦影展、音樂會,力倡以物易物。種種行徑,有人說是年輕世代的創意衝撞,有人說是文藝青年的叛逆惡搞,或許挑戰禁忌,也許引發眾怒,但仍繼續塗鴉,作品散見台北各大街小巷。
