Throughout his career, Eduardo Chillida did not stop questioning
everything that was relevant to his commitment to art. Without
wishing to create a deliberation parallel to his work, he used
writing as a way to keep his thoughts, using notebooks, fragments
of paper or margins of drawings and notes ... He did it in an
intermittent way, without a pre-established order, by hand. They
were intimate reflections, for his own use, destined to preserve
the questions to which he repeatedly returned. This volume brings
together all his writings, mostly unpublished to date, compiled and
edited in collaboration with the artist's family. They are divided
into five sections: 'Miradas', where Chillida addresses issues such
as perception, knowledge, the sea, human rights or religious
belief, all of them connected by the bond of poetry; 'Codes of the
artist', a chapter that gathers his reflections on creation; 'I am
an outlaw', a long text written in prose that was probably a draft
of a conference; 'Questions', written as an entry speech at the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, a synthesis of the
essential issues that concerned him as an artist throughout his
life; and 'Homenajes', where the sculptor pays tribute to people
and artists such as Gabriel Aresti, Pio Baroja, Bach, Joan Brossa,
Joan Miro, Mark Rothko or Maria Zambrano, among many others.

A comprehensive overview of more than two decades of Huma Bhabha's
prolific and multidisciplinary output in sculpture, drawing, and
photography Huma Bhabha (b. 1962 in Karachi) is known for
sculptures depicting the human figure fashioned from materials
ranging from clay, brick, and wood to Styrofoam, bronze, found
objects, and construction materials. Such works reveal her myriad
influences, including horror films, science fiction, ancient
artifacts, religious reliquaries, and Neo-Expressionism. This
handsome volume surveys over two decades of Bhabha's innovative
sculptures, as well as her lesser-known but essential work in
drawing, photography, and printmaking, all while considering her
singular engagement with the human figure. Illustrated essays
investigate the artist's prolific and multidisciplinary output, her
historical and cultural reference points, and her frequent themes,
such as war, colonialism, displacement, and the memory of home-in
the artist's words, these are "eternal concerns" found across all
cultures. A conversation between Bhabha and American artist
Sterling Ruby offers an intimate point of entry into Bhabha's
perspectives and artistic practice. Published in association with
the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston Exhibition Schedule:
Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (03/23/19-05/27/19)
