This is a detailed analysis of how understandings of health management past, present and future has transformed in the digital age. Since the mid-20th century, we have witnessed 'healthy' lifestyles being pushed as part of health promotion strategies, both via the state, and through health tracking tools, and narratives of wellness online. This marks a seismic shift from a public welfare state responsibility for health towards individualised practices of digital self-care. Today health has become representative of 'lifestyle corrections' which is performed on social media. Putting the spotlight on neoliberalism and digital technology as pervasive tools that dictate wellness as a moral obligation, Rachael Kent critically analyses how users navigate relationships between self-tracking technologies, social media, and everyday health management. .

Yinka Shonibare MBE - Revised and Expanded Edition (Hardcover, Revised ed.): Rachel Kent Yinka Shonibare MBE - Revised and Expanded Edition (Hardcover, Revised ed.)

Newly revised and updated, this authoritative book presents the exciting, ironic, and often subversive work of Yinka Shonibare MBE, one of the stars of the international art scene. Born in London and raised in Nigeria, Shonibare employs a diverse range of media--from sculpture, painting, and installation to photography and film--to probe matters of race, class, cultural identity, and history. He is perhaps best known for his signature use of a colorful "African" batik fabric that actually originated in Indonesia and was introduced to Africa in the19th century by British and Dutch colonizers. Incorporated into Victorian costumes, covering sculptures of extraterrestrials, or stretched like canvas for paintings, these vibrant textiles cleverly challenge issues of origin and authenticity. This book--the most comprehensive resource available on Shonibare--presents the best work of the London-based artist's career, including his high-profile project for the Fourth Plinth in London's Trafalgar Square and other innovative public sculptures. Whether lampooning Victorian propriety or commenting on what it means to be an "alien," Shonibare makes art that challenges straightforward interpretations.

Full of Love Full of Wonder: Nike Savvas (Hardcover): Rachel Kent, Patricia Ellis, Stephen Little Full of Love Full of Wonder: Nike Savvas (Hardcover)
Rachel Kent, Patricia Ellis, Stephen Little
R856 Discovery Miles 8 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Highly illustrated, Full of Love, Full of Wonder explores the oeuvre to date, showcasing Savvas' processes as well as the finished works, thus offering an unprecedented insight into both her large and small-scale works. Born in Canberra, Australia, from Greek-Cypriot parents, and moving to London in the mid-1990s in order to develop her career as an artist, her artistic identity is therefore an eclectic reflection of her multiple heritages. Contributors Rachel Kent, Patricia Ellis and Stephan Little offer their disparate view points and contextualize Savvas' work both within the Australian, Greek and British contemporary art scenes, the historical canon of art and the pop, kitsch and Zen cultures which Savvas' work balances with curiously harmonious ease.
