{"product_id":"65361-charles-stankievech","title":"Charles Stankievech","description":"The Desert Turned to Glass is a place where the cosmic and the chthonic collide. To mark the centenary of the planetarium as an architectural typology, this book gathers a new body of work by Canadian artist Charles Stankievech. Thematically, the project explores alternative theories on the origin of life, consciousness, and art, bridging the cosmological visions of cave art with the modern technology of the planetarium. In this richly illustrated volume, images of Stankievech's installations and cinematic works are combined with writings specifically commissioned for these projects from experts in geology, exobiology (the study of extraterrestrial life), philosophy, and archaeology. From outer space to the depths of the Earth: The Desert Turned to Glass is an epic meditation on origins, end scenarios, and infinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHARLES STANKIEVECH (*1978, Canada) is an artist who redefines \"field research\" at the intersection of geopolitics, deep ecology, and sonic resonance. From the northernmost settlement in the Arctic to the depths of the Pacific, Stankievech uncovers the paradoxes of our existence on the planet by engaging with the imperceptible. He teaches at the University of Toronto.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755248460040,"sku":"9783775755313","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755313_8977fa73-72da-4cc4-8ea7-798c3e53764e.jpg?v=1745308879","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65361-charles-stankievech","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
