Alexis Rockman: Naples: Course of Empire

Editat de Alexis Rockman Contribuţii de Dorothy Spears
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 iul 2026
Time itself as protagonist: this publication, dedicated exclusively to Alexis Rockman's Naples cycle, presents the entire development of the seven panoramic paintings in great detail. By connecting art history with pressing contemporary realities, climate science and ecological collapse, the cycle paints a new picture of our civilisation. Rather than presenting history as linear progress, the cycle unfolds as recurrence: creation, eruption, collapse and transformation repeating across vastly different scales of time. Alongside the paintings the book presents Rockman's field drawings made with volcanic material from Mount Vesuvius. These works function as both studies and records of direct contact between image and geology. Together, they form a contemporary Course of Empire where civilisation is revealed as a brief, combustible phase within a far larger planetary story. Anstatt Geschichte als linearen Fortschritt zu begreifen, entfaltet sich Alexis Rockmans Neapel-Zyklus als Prozess der Wiederkehr: Entstehung, Ausbruch, Zusammenbruch und Transformation kehren über die Zeit hinweg wieder. Neben den Gemälden präsentiert die Publikation Rockmans Zeichnungen, die mit vulkanischem Material des Vesuvs entstanden sind. Sie fungieren zugleich als Studien und als unmittelbare Zeugnisse des Kontakts zwischen Kunstwerk und Ort. Gemeinsam entwerfen sie ein neues Bild unserer Zivilisation als kurze, fragile Phase innerhalb einer weit größeren universalen Geschichte. Die Zeit als dominierende Instanz - Alexis Rockmans Neapel-Zyklus macht die Vergänglichkeit der Menschheit deutlich. Ausführlich und mit vielen Details beschreibt die Publikation die Entstehungsgeschichte der sieben Panorama-Gemälde. Offengelegt werden sowohl kunsthistorische Bezüge als auch aktuelle Themen wie Klimaforschung und ökologischer Kollaps.
