Far from a wholesale critical condemnation of anthropocentrism, \u003ci\u003eThe Imaginary Sea\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to present a balanced, multifaceted perspective of our evolving relationship with the natural world. It operates, if not in different temporalities, then in different imaginations, compiling work inspired by the sea from artists such as Jeff Koons, Miquel Barceló and Alison Katz, working across a wide range of mediums. This publication, released alongside the eponymous exhibition at the Fondation Carmignac, considers not only how artists are reevaluating our relationship with nature, but also how nature, particularly the sea, sparks our imagination. Akin to the emotional range of a Shakespearian comedy or tragedy, \u003ci\u003eThe Imaginary Sea\u003c\/i\u003e intends to evoke joy, mystery, wonder and melancholy, as well as loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 10.7 x 8.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767410786592,"sku":"9782365680462","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/9a18bbfb7ef58309b6de3b1874c7223a.webp?v=1780310272","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-imaginary-sea-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
