Summary:
Image Bank began compiling artist’s addresses and image requests to prompt correspondence artworks using the postal system in 1970. These requests first appeared in print in General Idea’s & AA Bronson’s FILE Megazine issues 1, 2 and 3, and they were published in their own volume in 1972 by Talonbooks. Nearly fifty years after its initial release, this revised facsimile edition includes the original list of image requests from over 200 artists alongside examples of mail art from many compelling contributors as well as new archival images from Western Front and Michael Morris. ''Internation image exchange directory'' comprises an alphabetically ordered list of over 200 artist’s addresses and image requests. Looking at the publication now, the book itself could be seen perhaps as a white pages telephone book for mail art. In between the directory listings, pages of compelling visual imagery from selected contributors adds additional context as to what mail art looked like in its very beginning. The book's directory includes submissions from artists such as Anna Banana, Joseph Beuys, William Burroughs, Robert Cumming, Robert Filliou, General Idea, Gilbert and George, Ray Johnson, Sol Lewitt, Lucy Lippard, Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauschenberg and many more.

Summary:
« Formes et couleurs » est le titre d'un livre édité il y a cent ans exactement, en 1921, par la Librairie centrale des beaux-arts. L'auteur, Auguste Thomas, a réalisé au pochoir vingt planches de motifs décoratifs très richement colorés. C'est ce livre qui a inspiré l'idée de créer un répertoire d'images foisonnant sur la thématique des Arts décoratifs selon deux axes stricts mais vastes : la forme et la couleur. L'invitation faite à Valérie du Chéné de travailler à deux voix avec Anne Jourdain, responsable du fonds ancien, selon des choix implicitement subjectifs, allait de soi : par sa recherche plastique sur la couleur, sur la forme dessinée en contours, et par la découverte qu'elle a faite du fonds ancien en arrivant à l'isdaT, venant de Paris où elle avait étudié aux beaux-arts. Il lui fallait transmettre aux étudiant·es de première année le « trésor » contenu dans ces livres anciens et les inciter à revenir les ouvrir comme des boîtes à images au fil de leurs années d'étude. Entre la pédagogie et le fonds ancien, l'enrichissement est mutuel, toujours.

Summary:
Looking at the relationship between art, archives and activism, this publication begins with the 1970s, an era when social movements – feminism, environmentalism, LGBTQ2SIA+ rights, Indigenous rights, access to health services and housing – began to coalesce into models of self-organization that overlapped with the production of art and culture. Noting the resurgence of art practice involved with social activism and an increasing interest in the 1970s from younger producers, the Belkin connected with diverse archives and activist networks to bring forward these histories, to commission new works of art and writing and to provide a space for discussion and debate. This book brings contemporary art practices into active dialogue with the past, interweaving archive with artwork, poetry, prose and critical investigation.

Summary:
Le Nunatsiavut, région inuite du Canada qui possède une administration autonome depuis 2005, a une production artistique à part dans le monde de l’art canadien et de l’art inuit circumpolaire. Population inuite la plus méridionale au monde, le peuple côtier du Nunatsiavut a toujours vécu à cheval sur la limite forestière, et les artistes et artisans inuits du Nunatsiavut ont eu accès à une flore et une faune arctique et subarctique très diversifiées, à partir desquelles ils ont créé des œuvres d’une surprenante variété. Les artistes du territoire se sont traditionnellement servis de la pierre et du bois pour sculpter, de la fourrure, du cuir et de la peau de phoque pour l’art mobilier et des graminées marines pour la vannerie, ainsi que de la laine, du métal, du tissu, des perles et du papier. Plus récemment, ils ont travaillé avec des techniques que l’on retrouve en art contemporain, comme la peinture, le dessin, la gravure, la photographie, la vidéo et la céramique, sans pour autant délaisser les matériaux traditionnels, utilisés de manière novatrice et inusitée. ''SakKijâjuk. Art et artisanat du Nunatsiavut'' est la première publication d’importance sur l’art des Inuits du Labrador. Écrit pour accompagner une exposition itinérante majeure conçue par The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery Division de St. John’s, l’ouvrage comprend plus de 80 reproductions d’œuvres de 45 artistes, une présentation de ces derniers et un essai de fond sur l’art au Nunatsiavut signé par la commissaire Heather Igloliorte.

Summary:
We live in a hyper-mediated world, drowning in an ocean of images and information. ''Conflict in my outlook'' gathers contemporary artworks and new texts that shed light on human experience in an era of ubiquitous networked technologies. From digital intimacies and the weaponization of social media to invisible power structures, clickwork, and the 'gig' economy, contributors seek a better future in the context of algorithmic racism, machine learning, and the new colonial frontiers of surveillance capitalism. The anthology, which is published on the occasion of a two-part exhibition series at UQ Art Museum, focuses on art as a means to explore the techno-politics that define our age.
