New books warnings:
My book order from Gleebooks arrived yesterday:
Architecture from the outside, Elizabeth Grosz.
Small and expensive but worth reading on ideas of space.
Aesthetics; essential works of Foucault, Vol 2. Low cost Penguin paper
back and this looks worth reading.
A World History of Art, Honour and Flemming. This is the latest 7th
edition and from what I read the standard reference text, meaning the
official cannon. Covers the major arts, architecture, sculpture and
painting. Big and heavy at 960 pages.
Although Liz Grosz has a seamless style of writing it is worth noting
the multiple interruption within the text. Heavy use of Bergson and
Deleuze... but worth reading for an aesthetics of space and space-time.
