Stemming from two exhibitions and seminars held in Bergen, Norway and Santiago de Chile, curated and organized by Soledad Garc? Saavedra and Brandon LaBelle, \u003ci\u003eMagic Block\u003c\/i\u003e underscores the processes of appearance and disappearance, memory and forgetting, writing and erasure as social and psychological intensities. Through the works of Chilean artists and writers, the publication highlights art as a powerful platform for \u003ci\u003eworking through\u003c\/i\u003e the political structures that hold the body in a phantasmic grip, and which can be traced and appropriated through unsteady acts of magic. Expressions of secrecy, camouflage, forgetfulness, dematerialization and covert occupation thus enable a giving narrative to those memories that are often subordinated by history. The book includes works by Catalina Bauer, Juan Downey, Claudia Missana, Eugenio T駘lez, Sandra Vasquez de la Horra, Michelle-Marie Letelier, Rainer Krause, Gonzalo D?z\/Justo Pastor Mellado Voluspa Jarpa and Enrique Ram?ez.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Soledad Saavedra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0988937530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780988937536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Errant Bodies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Soledad Saavedra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43927105831167,"sku":"9780988937536","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e503890a-a843-4916-9440-d5254aefb22e.jpg?v=1681086865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magic-block-soledad-saavedra-9780988937536","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
