In the second half of the eighteenth century, the category of the sublime became a central concept of the fledgling field of aesthetics. Originally located at the margins of discourses on rhetoric, it became a source of fascination in literary and artistic production, but quickly proved to be a complicated matter, especially for the visual arts. Artists and philosophers contended with the question of whether the sublime can be depicted at all or whether the events that can cause viewers to experience the sublime can be adequately represented in painting. The contributions of this special issue suggest, however, that the contested visual representability of the sublime might have spurred visual artists to devise innovative, experimental solutions in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.

Este libro propone una historia revisionista del arte cubano centrada en el estudio de la producción artística y los mundos sociales de los artistas afrodescendientes en la isla, desde el período colonial hasta el presente. A fines del siglo XVIII, los residentes de La Habana hablaban con frecuencia de la existencia de comunidades importantes de negros y pardos que eran "ventajosos maestros" en los oficios de pintura y escultura, autores de obras que los contemporaneos describian como "primorosas". ¿Quienes son esos artistas? ¿Que tipo de obras produjeron? ¿Donde estan? ¿Donde se formaron y como se transmitieron esos saberes? ¿Por que muchos artistas afrodescendientes, incluso del siglo XX, permanecen ignorados? Los autores ofrecen respuestas preliminares a estas preguntas. Para ello, estudian los prejuicios raciales y de genero que han ayudado a constituir el canon artistico cubano; exponen como los ideologos de la clase de plantadores esclavistas institucionalizaron la asociacion entre las "bellas artes" y atributos clave de la blanquitud; y exploran como dicha asociacion continua dando forma a las narrativas historicas del arte en Cuba. El resultado es un volumen de interes no solo para los estudiosos de la presencia africana en las Americas, sino para coleccionistas y amantes del arte latinoamericano.

This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish artist Jadwiga Maziarska (1913-2003), featuring essays by renowned art historians and curators, and a selection of archival materials from 1940s1990s. Maziarska was one of the most important voices of the avant-garde in Poland, alongside recently recognized Erna Rosenstein, her closest friend and interlocutor. The title "assembly" speaks to Maziarska as engineer and bricoleur of source materials and methods, producing an abstraction which is uncategorizable within the postwar Krakow Group (Grupa Krakowska II) and beyond. Her artistic processes were rooted in the physicality of assembling as a response to concepts of reproduction and modernity. Active from the 1940s through to the 1990s, Maziarska was informed by science, phenomenology, mass photography, printed reproductions and newspapers clippings, out of which she developed autonomous structures.Jadwiga Maziarska (1913-2003) studied and lived in Krakow. She was a member of the second Krakow Group (Grupa Krakowska II), co-established by Tadeusz Kantor. She was known as an outsider, focused on her daring and progressive experimentation with various media.

Actualmente gran parte de la información confidencial en las redes computacionales es cifrada con el uso de un sistema criptográfico o criptosistema; no obstante, se cree que desde el inicio de la civilizacion se han codificado mensajes con la implementacion de sistemas secretos, es decir: mensajes que se vuelven incomprensibles para quien no conoce la clave, asi como los criptogramas. La presente coleccion es una serie de treinta y un criptogramas sonoros de textos extraidos del horoscopo y de galletas chinas, durante los dias del mes de mayo del 2024. Los cuales fueron encriptados con la finalidad de obtener alturas aleatoriamente para crear miniaturas musicales y explorar la expresividad creativa e interpretativa de la guitarra. Dicha encriptacion consiste en la sustitucion de cada simbolo del alfabeto por alturas musicales, similar al motivo C-A-G-E en homenaje a John Cage (1912-1992), usado por la compositora estadounidense Paulin Oliveros (1932-2016), quien se basa en la nomenclatura americana, en la que la clase de alturas de do se corresponde con la letra C; la de la, con la A; la de sol, con la G, y la del mi, con la E, para la creacion del motivo CAGE. Asi, los Dias de mayo son una nueva busqueda de un atonalismo sistematico por parte de su compositor que, en lo fugaz, la sorpresa, lo contemplativo, lo incierto y lo reflexivo, expande el universo sonoro del interprete y el escucha de la guitarra de hoy.
