[ https://amzn.to/3Lb7kJg ] Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley

The first comprehensive monograph on the daring, irreverent, and fantastical art of the Haas Brothers

Step into a world where design meets art in the most audacious, subversive, and captivating ways. Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley is the much-anticipated first monograph on the daring, irreverent, and fantastical art of Niki and Simon Haas.

Known for their boundary-pushing creative practice, the duo work across the fields of art, craft, design, and technology with an approach that is at once conceptual, yet formal, and intellectual, yet playful.

The book accompanies the first major touring mid-career retrospective devoted to the Haas Brothers at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan in Fall 2025, and highlights more than 100 of their most iconic works, from almost ridiculous, conversation-starting furniture to cheeky life-size sculptures.

Rich texts, including first-hand personal stories from the brothers and an interview by avant-garde mother-daughter artists Lita and Isabelle Albuquerque, complement the book’s vivid imagery.

Featuring a padded, hot pink cover, Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley proves these iconoclastic visionaries are two of the most exciting and innovative figures in contemporary art and design.

[ https://amzn.to/4nbP5ku ] Niki de Saint Phalle (Basic Art)

A key contributor to Nouveau Réalisme in early 1960s Paris, Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) worked alongside artists such as Arman, Yves Klein, and Jean Tinguely, scavenging real objects in place of traditional art materials. She connected art to life by instrumentalizing household items, machine parts, and even toys for her early assemblages. Saint Phalle created her first shooting painting, or Tir, in 1961, and went on to conduct these performances in such varied locations as the Impasse Ronsin in Paris, a garden in Amsterdam, a sandpit outside Stockholm, and the Malibu Hills. Reliefs made of plaster, small objects, paint, wood, and wire were punctured by the bullets of a gun.

This book provides an introduction to Saint Phalle’s work, highlighting some of her most important contributions to 20th century art. From birthing mothers to harbingers of death, she created sculptures that celebrated and exposed the female form in works such as Pink Birth (1964) and Hon En Kathedral (1966). She also used real-life figures as inspiration: her early Nana sculptures are named after the artist’s women friends and family members. She later extended her practice to films such as Daddy (1973), artist’s books including AIDS: You Can’t Catch it Holding Hands (1987), and the Tarot Garden, a monumental sculpture park with figures modeled on the 22 named cards of the Major Arcana figures in the Tarot deck, the karmic cards of destiny.

[ https://amzn.to/4n0mZbD ] Alive: Synthetic Cells, Feral Robots, Rebellious AI, and the Design of Radical Life

A timely examination of a wide range of projects exploring the boundaries of our existence.

A silicone jellyfish with a rat's heart, a drone that smells using the antenna of a moth, wearables made from cultured human skin, an AI-populated digital snack bar in the metaverse. These projects and many more offer a mind-bending, head-turning vision of the future that Madeline Schwartzman demonstrates is just around the corner.

Curated from new developments in synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering, biology, and art, this broad-ranging survey demonstrates the myriad ways in which our perception of what it means to be alive has dramatically changed. Where do we draw the new lines? Are there any boundaries we should not cross? And what if?. . .? By examining these new "beings," Alive maps out a vision of new partnerships, uncanny hybrids, and collaborative intelligences, as science fiction rapidly becomes science fact.

Concursos y Caricaturas…en Puerto Rico

Periódicos y Compañías realizaron decenas de concursos variados, aquí algunos relacionados a la caricatura y a personajes. Estos comprenden los años entre 1958 a 1962. En 1958 United Federal Savings alentaba a los niños a recortar y pintar su personaje PESITO DILIGENTE. Ese año también se convoca el GRAN CONCURSO CORONA, donde Awilda Daviu Murray gana $500 por sugerir el nombre de CANTALICIO para la “mascota” de la cerveza. Otros lo fueron el de 1961 de EL IMPARCIAL convocando a los “dibujantes de la isla a crear un personaje simbólico que representé al pueblo puertorriqueño”, sin embargo de este no encuentro si se otorgó el laudo o premio. Coca Cola invitaba en 1959 a identificar las personalidades dibujadas como caricaturas en un anuncio del concurso ¿Quienes son? de 1959, Borinquen Biscuit Company indica “que de los miles de nombres sugeridos para el personaje” el jurado seleccionó el de BEBECO, General Electric escoge en 1961 el nombre de GELISTO, para su caricatura que representa el servicio rápido, cortés y eficiente, también propuesto por los lectores y por último TRAVELITO que representaría a la agencia de pasajes FRED IMBERT INC, TRAVEL AGENCY (1962)
