Dopo 60 anni di lavoro, l’opera postuma di Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Nel 1961, tre anni dopo aver conosciuto Jeanne-Claude a Parigi, Christo cominciò a studiare un progetto colossale per impacchettare uno dei monumenti più emblematici della città. Dopo quasi 60 anni, 25.000 metri quadrati di stoffa riciclabile e 3.000 metri di corda, la visione dei due artisti finalmente si realizzerà. Scoprite la loro installazione postuma attraverso questo volume, che raccoglie le fotografie, i disegni e la storia dell’evoluzione del progetto. Come la maggior parte delle installazioni di Christo e Jeanne-Claude, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped ha una durata temporanea: 16 giorni, da sabato 18 settembre a domenica 3 ottobre 2021. Con la collaborazione del Centre des Monuments Nationaux e del Centre Pompidou, il monumento storico sarà impacchettato con stoffa di propilene riciclabile azzurro-argento e corda riciclabile rossa. Il progetto è la realizzazione postuma di un’idea a lungo sognata da Christo e sua moglie, che cominciarono a disegnare i primi schizzi nel 1962, quando vivevano in una piccola stanza in affitto vicino all’Arco di Trionfo. Questo volume, omaggio ai due artisti e alla loro collaborazione durata una vita, include schizzi originali, dati tecnici e fotografie esclusive, tratteggiando un ritratto affascinante del lavoro di genesi ed evoluzione di quest’opera prodigiosa.

Building on his paradigm-shifting work on the incarnation in The Contradictory Christ (OUP, 2021), Jc Beall extends a robust contradictory theology with an account of the trinity. Throughout the history of the Christian church, heretics, apophatics, mystics, atheists, and many others have long proclaimed that the doctrine of the trinity - one of the central doctrines of the Christian faith - is contradictory. In this work, Beall agrees; however, as Beall convincingly argues, one needn't abandon orthodoxy, play language games, inflate one's metaphysics, nor abandon the standard faith in the face of such divine contradiction. Instead, one can accept central axioms of the trinity at face value and, with a suitable account of logical entailment, accept the 'contradictory truths' thereby entailed. \n\nWith the clarity and precision that only a logician could provide, Beall provided theology and the Christian church in general with a very simple and viable (and arguably correct) model of divine reality. Unlike the vast number of theologians and philosophers before him, Beall rejects the quest for a logically consistent account of divine reality. The triune god (viz., God) is truly and fully described only via contradiction. As such, attempts to remove the contradiction are attempts to remove truths of God.
