Summary:
How the modernist avant-gardes from Dada to constructivism reconceived their roles, working as propagandists, advertisers, publishers, graphic designers, curators and more, to create new visual languages for a radically changed world. These “engineers,” “agitators,” “constructors,” “photomonteurs,” “workers”—all designations adopted by the artists themselves—turned away from traditional forms of painting and sculpture and invented new visual languages. Central among them was photomontage, in which photographs and images from newspapers and magazines were cut, remixed, and pasted together. Working as propagandists, advertisers, publishers, editors, architects, theater designers and curators, these artists engaged with expanded audiences in novel ways, establishing distinctive infrastructures for presenting and distributing their work. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition, this publication marks the transformative addition to MoMA from the Merrill C. Berman Collection, one of the great private collections of political art. Illuminating the essential role of women in avant-garde activities while mapping vital networks across Europe, this richly illustrated book presents the social engagement, fearless experimentation and utopian aspirations that defined the early 20th century, and how these strategies still reverberate today.

Summary:
Présent au MAMCO depuis l'ouverture de l'institution au public, L'Appartement est un espace particulier dans le parcours du musée. Il s'agit de la reconstitution de l'appartement de Ghislain Mollet-Viéville situé à l'origine au 26 de la rue Beaubourg à Paris. Occupé et aménagé par ce dernier de 1975 à 1991, ce lieu de vie était aussi un lieu d'échanges et d'exposition d'œuvres précisément choisies. L'art minimal et conceptuel y tenaient une place essentielle pas simplement à travers des œuvres mais aussi comme forme de vie. Désormais partie intégrante de la collection du MAMCO, L'Appartement propose, entre autres, des pièces de Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Claude Rutault, Art & Language, Joseph Kosuth, Lawrence Weiner et André Cadere. Cet ouvrage en est la présentation détaillée à travers un essai de Patricia Falguières, un entretien avec Ghislain Mollet-Viéville et une étude de chaque œuvre par Thierry Davila. Il montre aussi combien collectionner signifie inventer un type singulier de fréquentation de l'art.

Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making.

La collection d'œuvres d'artistes en lien avec l'architecture et de projets d'architectes du Frac Centre-Val de Loire, comme un récit des origines : une relecture des fondements sur lesquels se construit l'expérimentation architecturale depuis le début des années 1950. Avec Arkhè, l'architecture est définie à l'aune des mythes fondateurs : le Jardin d'Éden, la Hutte, le Monument, le Feu, le Tissage et l'Antre maternel. Les mouvements d'architecture radicale et expérimentale, depuis les années 1960 à nos jours, apparaissent comme l'ultime tentative de faire que toute pensée de l'architecture soit un processus pour reconsidérer la discipline, non plus comme l'art de bâtir le futur, mais celui de réécrire l'histoire de la discipline depuis ses origines.

Summary:
Ballpoint drawing has evolved into a thriving art form since the pen emerged as a writing tool in the 1940s, when the Hungarian journalist and inventor Laszlo Biro fled war-torn Europe and began manufacturing the pens in Argentina. Throughout the 1950s and '60s, as the ballpoint became cheaper and more accessible, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Nam June Paik, Louise Bourgeois, and many others, sketched with the pens. Today, those who make art with ballpoint pen are no longer confined by size or style. They draw on sculpture, wallpaper, canvas, architecture, and 50-foot sheets of paper, depicting a wide range of subjects - from psychologically charged portraits to mutant animals to abstract scribbles. This book features 30 artists from around the world who are currently creating masterpieces with ballpoint, and discusses their methods, the messages in their work, and their personal connections to the pen.
