Shiota’ s inspiration often emerges from a personal experience or emotion which she expands into universal human concerns such as life, death and relationships. She has redefined the concept of memory and consciousness by collecting ordinary objects such as shoes, keys, beds, chairs and dresses, and engulfing them in immense thread structures. She explores this sensation of a \"presence in the absence\" with her installations, but also presents intangible emotions in her sculptures, drawings, performance videos, photographs and canvases. Havranek is chief curator at Kunsthalle Praha. She holds a French postgraduate diploma (DEA) in art history, criticism and conservation from the University of Rennes 2. From 1999 to 2016, she was curator and head of programmes for the gallery and cinema at the French Institute in Prague. Since 2016, she has been responsible for developing the dramaturgy of Kunsthalle Praha, where her recent curatorial activities have included site-specific installations and new commissions such as the Faç ade Project series (2017-2021), the Living Kunsthalle performance night (2019).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: ‎ \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e8.25 x 1 x 10.5 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Weight: ‎ \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1.89 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING GR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48118527459584,"sku":"111536","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0188\/3776\/files\/9783969122204_ca8d6copy.png?v=1773005901"},{"product_id":"chiharu-shiota-the-soul-trembl","title":"Chiharu Shiota: The Soul Trembles","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"hero-exhib__supertitle\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(211, 44, 226);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"hero-exhib__title title--h2\"\u003eChiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hero-exhib__subtitle\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(216, 185, 44);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApr 3, 2026 – Jul 20, 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hero-exhib__subtitle\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(216, 185, 44);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"hero-exhib__tickets\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buy.acmeticketing.com\/events\/474\/detail\/69850a0204621a8c21e7a636\" class=\"button button--lg button--purple button--lg--wide button--tickets single-content__tickets\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"single-content__tickets-text\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(207, 43, 222);\"\u003eBuy Tickets \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"hero-exhib__tickets\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(223, 163, 42);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buy.acmeticketing.com\/auth\/474\/members?ref=%2Fevents%2F474%2Fdetail%2F69850a0204621a8c21e7a636\" class=\"button button--lg button--gold button--lg--wide single-content__tickets\" style=\"color: rgb(223, 163, 42);\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"single-content__tickets-icon icon-ticket\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"single-content__tickets-text\"\u003eBuy Member Tickets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e~~~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\" data-csa-c-id=\"9hiznn-uke6ih-iv3avt-i1jy8r\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" id=\"productTitle\"\u003eChiharu Shiota: The Soul Trembles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eCentered around the intangible, Shiota's installation, performance and sculpture practice generates emotionally laden psychogeographic sites\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA wide-ranging and complex project of great expressive power, this volume retraces the entire production of Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota (born 1972) across drawings, photographs, sculptures and some of her most famous environmental and monumental installations.

In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe--but often remains misunderstood as an \"exotic\" artifact that helped inspire Western creativity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fact is that the Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon of which there exists no Western equivalent. Some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art--including, as Karl Marx put it, that \"all that is solid melts into air\"--were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed like never before in the designs of such masters as Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art form by presenting the 200 most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context. Ranging from the 17th-century development of decadent ukiyo-e, or \"pictures of the floating world,\" to the decline and later resurgence of prints in the early 20th century, the images collected in this edition make up an unmatched record not only of a unique genre in art history, but also of the shifting mores and cultural development of Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom mystical mountains to snowy passes, samurai swordsmen to sex workers in shop windows, each piece is explored as a work of art in its own right, revealing the stories and people behind the motifs. We discover the four pillars of the woodblock print--beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions--alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans--rock stars who populated the \"floating world\" and whose fan bases fueled the frenzied production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrifying and the obscure in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living--stunning images that continue to influence Japanese manga, film, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to erotica, the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and infallible eye of their creators and how, with tremendous ingenuity and tongue-in-cheek wit, publishers and artists alike fought to circumvent government censorship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis two-volume edition in a box, crafted with traditional Japanese binding, presents reproductions of the finest extant impressions from the vaults of museums and private collections across the globe.
