    Abstract: "Featuring more than 100 extraordinary works of art from 1800 to the present, Earth Matters reveals how African individuals and communities have visually mediated their most poignant relationships with the land--whether it be to earth as a sacred or medicinal material, as something uncovered by mining or claimed by burial, as a surface to be interpreted and turned to for inspiration, or as an environment to be protected. Both internationally recognized and emerging contemporary artists are represented, from the continent and diaspora, including El Anatsui, Ghada Amer, Sammy Baloji, Ingrid Mwangi and William Kentridge. Highlights include a pair of rare Yoruba onile figures, a one-of-a-kind Punu reliquary from Gabon, and 3 bocio figures from the personal collection of legendary French dealer Jacques Kerchache. The text includes statements by contemporary African artists including Wangechi Mutu, Clive van den Berg, Allan de Souza, and George Osodi. National Museum of African Art curator Karen E. Milbourne explores how diverse African concepts of healing, the sacred, identity, memory, history, and environmental sustainability have all been formed in relation to the land in this pioneering scholarly study."--Publisher's website

    Abstract: Sechzig Künstler aus zweiundzwanzig afrikanischen Ländern befassen sich thematisch mit der Göttlichen Komödie von Dante Alighieri. Dabei bedienen sie sich diverser künstlerischer Medien - von Malerei, Fotografie, Skulptur über Videoarbeiten bis hin zu Installationen und Performances. Die Publikation Göttliche Komödie: Himmel, Hölle, Fegefeuer kann, in Anlehnung an den Rhythmus des berühmten Dante'schen Gedichtes, als Tryptichon betrachtet werden. Die afrikanischen Künstler, die das Herzstück dieses Projektes bilden, das Reproduktionen und Präsentationen ihrer Kunstwerke vorlegt, konzentrieren sich auf Textstellen aus dem Gedicht, die sie entsprechend ihrer künstlerischen Praxis und jeweiligen Persönlichkeit mit unterschiedlichen Bedeutungen aufladen. - - Fünf Essays von Autoren aus verschiedenen Ländern schaffen direkte Verbindungen zur aktuellen Gegenwart und fügen der Interpretation der präsentierten Arbeiten eine weitere Dimension hinzu. Der aus drei Papiersorten gestaltete Band ist als Sammlerstück konzipiert. - - Künstler - Jane Alexander, Fernando Alvim, Ghada Amer, Joe͏̈l Andrianomearisoa, Kader Attia, Sammy Balodji, Berry Bickle, Bili Bidjocka, Wim Botha, Zoulikha Bouabdellah, Mohamed Bourouissa, Nabil Boutros, Edson Chagas, Loulou Cherinet, Lawrence Chikwa, Kudzanai Chiurai, Christine Dixie, Dimitri Fagbohoun, Franck Abd-Bakar Fanny, Jellel Gasteli, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Kendell Geers, Frances Goodman, Nicholas Hlobo, Peterson Kamwathi, Mouna Karray, Amal Kenawy, Majida Khattari, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Jems Robert Koko Bi, Abdoulaye Konaté, Nicène Kossentini, Ndary Lo, Ato Malinda, Julie Mehretu, Myriam Mihindou, Nandipha Mntambo, Ai͏̈da Muluneh, Hassan Musa, Mutu Wangechi, Mwangi Hutter, Youssef Nabil, Lamia Naji, Moataz Nasr, Cheikh Niass, Maurice Pefura, Zineb Sedira, Yinka Shonibare, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Guy Tillim, Andrew Tshabangu, Freddy Tsimba, Minnette Vári, Guy Wouete, Dominique Zinkpè

    Abstract: "A groundbreaking scholarly publication, accompanying an exhibition organized by the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, African Cosmos: Stellar Arts brings together exceptional works of art, dating from ancient times to the present, and essays by leading scholars and contemporary artists to consider African cultural astronomy: creativity and artistic practice in Africa as it is linked to celestial bodies and atmospheric phenomena. African concepts of the universe are intensely personal, placing human beings in relation to the earth and sky, and with the sun, moon, and stars. At the core of creation myths and the foundation of moral values, celestial bodies are often accorded sacred capacities and are part of the "cosmological map" that allows humans to chart their course through life."--Publisher's website
