Conceived around the title Life on Mars, the 55th Carnegie International explores the increasingly relevant yet perplexing proposition of what it means to be human today.

Summary:
Some, like the Tasmanian tiger, are considered extinct--yet sightings are still reported. Some, like the giant squid, existed only as rumors until hard evidence finally appeared. And then there are the others, who roam a shadowy realm between myth, hucksterism and science--for example, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Cryptozoology is the quest for unidentified and(...)

Summary:
Some, like the Tasmanian tiger, are considered extinct--yet sightings are still reported. Some, like the giant squid, existed only as rumors until hard evidence finally appeared. And then there are the others, who roam a shadowy realm between myth, hucksterism and science--for example, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Cryptozoology is the quest for unidentified and elusive species, and as such is often treated as a marginalized science more akin to farcical adventure. However, the subject makes for a perfectly fascinating zone of inquiry for contemporary artists interested in the fertile edges of the history of science and museums, taxonomy, myth, spectacle and fraud. Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale mines the theoretical and design terrains of the twenty-first-century graphic novel and the medieval curio cabinet or Wunderkammer, exploring cryptozoology in art and popular culture. Originally exhibited at Maine's Bates College Museum of Art, it begins with Mark Dion's installation of a bureaucratic government agency, the Federal Wildlife Commission's Department of Cryptozoology, Bureau for the Investigation of Paranormal Phenomena and National Institute of Comparative Astrobiology, and features drawings, paintings, dioramas, taxidermy and performative photos by artists Rachel Berwick, Sarina Brewer, Walmor Correa, Ellen Lesperance, Robert Marbury, Jill Miller, Vic Muniz, Jeanine Oleson, Rosamond Purcell, Alexis Rockman, Marc Swanson, Jeffrey Vallance and Jamie Wyeth.

Summary:
Beirut had been a renowned resort and a center of culture and style for hundreds of years, when, in the late twentieth century, it became the site of terrible violence and trauma. More than 15 years after the official end of Lebanon's civil war in 1990, political instability, bombings and assassinations still dominate the international headlines, obscuring years of swift change. In that time, Beirut became fertile ground for radical and innovative art-making and critical thought. "Out of Beirut" introduces new and recent work by artists who have been at the forefront of that activity, and who, in this new time of turmoil and change, will be watching Beirut's fate closely, chronicling it, and perhaps by their responses, changing it. With work by Fadi Abdallah, Gilbert Hage, Heartland, Bernard Khoury, Rabib Mroué, Walid Raad, Walid Sadek, Jalal Toufic, Paola Yacoub and Michel Lasserre and Akram Zaatari, among others.

Summary:
L'ouvrage présente un travail autour de l'exposition Offrir des Fleurs dans le cadre de la Bourse Agora du Curateur (Agora du Design). Ceci n'est pas un catalogue. Cet ouvrage est pensé comme un outil de lecture, une continuité avec l'exposition. Cette base de données est une proposition curatoriale, axée sur une recherche rassemblant des témoignages, des textes, des entretiens, des photographies et des objets. Et si offrir des fleurs permettait de parler de design autrement ? Cette exploration curatoriale met en avant un format d'exposition capable de recevoir un contenu sensible, celui de témoignages (tmg.) relatant cette action. Du point de vue du donneur ou du receveur, ce contenu est le centre de notre attention. Ces derniers forment le noyau dur de l'exposition et de ce catalogue. À travers cette récolte variée, nous pouvons déchiffrer des systématismes, regroupés. Le panel d'acteurs est le plus large possible : classes sociales, cultures et professions confondues, interrogé entre décembre 2020 et mars 2021. Nous l'avons complété d'une recherche de contenus et d'objets relatant une dimension affective et d'échange représentant la fleur ou sa production (obj. – timbres, cartes et monnaie), ainsi qu'un reportage photographique (img. – photographies) et d'un ensemble de textes et d'entretiens (txt. – entretiens et commandes), auprès de producteurs, transformateurs de la fleur, mais aussi de curateurs et de designers. Un travail de retranscriptions met en corrélation des moments / histoires communes et leurs différences. Cette récolte permet de constituer des sujets (suj.) emboîtés où chacun des éléments de cette base de données prennent sens. Cette réponse curatoriale se veut être non circonscrite, ouverte et surtout non exhaustive.
