Summary:
This book honors the centennial of Dada by telling for the first time the full story of its genesis and the role played by Zurich and its vibrant community of artists in its creation and flourishing. It sets the early years of Dada firmly in the city’s historical and cultural context and reveals the intellectual and social background that were crucial to the fermenting artistic ideas that culminated in Dada. It goes on to trace the explosion of Dada into a worldwide phenomenon that took in such artists and intellectuals as Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Jean Cocteau, and Man Ray. Richly illustrated, this book will stand as the definitive account of the origins of Dada and its little-considered ties to one particular, spectacular city.

Summary:
When art takes its inspiration from correctional facilities. This book is the result of an international collective project in which the artists were asked to reflect on the architecture of seclusion, in search of different ways of documenting the institutional spaces intended to punish and, at times, to improve the individuals by their separation from the rest of society. Prisons, mental hospitals, and other corrective institutions are constantly developing—ideologically, structurally, and architecturally—enclosing entire stories of violence and resistance. But how is a confinement space conceived? How can it be reported? The artists reflect on places of constriction, correction, and isolation whose functional mechanisms remain behind the visible, aided by a space-time line that separates them from the life outside.

Y a-t-il une manière féminine de collectionner ? Une collection d'art peut-elle avoir un genre ? Cet ouvrage présente la première synthèse historique consacrée aux femmes collectionneuses d'art et mécènes en Occident depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. Alternant avec ces mises au point, de multiples portraits singuliers retracent l'itinéraire biographique et esthétique des collectionneuses les plus remarquables : Nélie Jacquemart, Hélène Kröller-Müller, Helena Rubinstein, Marie-laure de Noailles, Peggy Guggenheim ou encore, plus près de nous, Ingvild Goetz ou Dominique de Ménil, en sont quelques exemples. Cette galerie de portraits montre l'extrême diversité des personnalités et des motivations.

Summary:
Cette exposition réunit quelque douze artistes vivants en Chine continentale, issus de différentes générations et choisis parmi la scène artistique. Investissant un large éventail de techniques et d'outils, relevant aussi bien d'une tradition et d'une culture locale que des nouvelles technologies internationales les plus pointues, ces artistes qui sont tout à la fois spectateurs et acteurs révèlent les contradictions et complexités d'une société en permanente mutation. Leurs oeuvres témoignent notamment de la transformation des rapports ville/campagne, manifestée par la nouvelle donne sur le terrain de l'économie, de l'écologie et par les questions d'identité. L'exposition propose ainsi un regard inédit sur la société chinoise contemporaine

Summary:
Le Vingtième siècle est celui où les femmes prennent leur place dans l'histoire de l'art. C'est à Paris que cette histoire commence. Paris, surtout durant la première moitié du siècle, est, en effet pour ces femmes artistes (qu'elles soient nées en France ou viennent du Nord de l'Europe, de Russie ou d'Amérique) un carrefour : un terre d'exil pour les unes, l'occasion d'un nouveau départ pour les autres. C'est ainsi à Paris que se cristallise la notion de « femme artiste », dans le champ de la peinture et de la sculpture, qui s'élargit bientôt à la photographie, puis à l'installation, la vidéo, la performance, etc. Siècle de lutte, d'émancipation, d'indépendance, de création, de revendication, le XXème siècle est ainsi, pour les femmes, un siècle d'art. S'il existe des ouvrages sur l'histoire des luttes politiques et sociales des femmes, il n'y a pas encore, en français, de livre qui soit spécifiquement consacré aux femmes artistes en France durant le XXème siècle.

Generali has also commissioned works by artists such as Maria Eichhorn, Andrea Fraser, Hans Haacke, Dorit Margreiter, Mathias Poledna, Marjetica Potrc and Heimo Zobernig. In this power-packed book, numerous installation views and texts provide a review of the foundation's comprehensive program, whose context and genesis are discussed in a conversation between the foundation's long-time Director Sabine Breitwieser and art critic Sabeth Buchmann.

Summary:
Psycho Buildings: Artists and Architecture marks the fortieth anniversary of London's Hayward gallery--itself an architectural icon, and one of the few remaining examples of the 1960s Brutalist style. The exhibition brings together the work of artists--including Atelier Bow-Wow, Michael Beutler, Los Carpinteros, Gelitin, Mike Nelson, Ernesto Neto, Tobias Putrih, Tomas Saraceno, Do-Ho Suh and Rachel Whiteread--who create habitat-like structures and architectural environments that are mental and perceptual spaces as much as physical ones. The works in this book revisit and reanimate the history of Modernist design while reminding us that built spaces can be defined in social, political, psychological, physical and aesthetic terms. An invaluable exploration of this contemporary trend, the volume includes essays by Hayward Director Ralph Rugoff, Jane Rendell and Brian Dillon. In addition, each artist profile includes a text by a different author, including Francis McKee, Tumelo Mosaka, Midori Matsui, Brian Dillon, Paulo Herkenhoff, David Greene, Francesco Manacorda, Tom Morton, Miwon Kwon and Iain Sinclair.
