If ceramics, glass, and metals are inextricably linked to earth and fire, textiles are arguably linked with wind and water. In truth, craft practices are all deeply connected to the elements and to nature.

Summary:
If ceramics, glass, and metals are inextricably linked to earth and fire, textiles are arguably linked with wind and water. In truth, craft practices are all deeply connected to the elements and to nature. Eight distinguished writers and thinkers living in the Nordic region endeavor to flesh out concepts such as material interaction and material agency, Posthumanism, site-responsiveness, and symbiotic thinking in the field of crafts. How do artists explore the potential of materials and the four natural elements? What does a human-material interaction look like, and how might one approach a material, not from the position of a master but from that of a collaborator?

Summary:
Native artists are at the vanguard of performance art practices and discourse, using humor as a strategy for cultural critique and reflection, parsing the relationships between objecthood and agency. This reader centers performance and theater as origin points for the development of contemporary art by Native American, First Nations, Métis, Inuit and Alaska Native artists. Song, dance and music are also posited as a basis for collectivity and resistance and a means to speak to a time when Native traditional ceremony and public gatherings were illegal in both the United States and Canada. Featuring excerpts from the 1969 document Indian Theatre: An Artistic Experiment in Process, this illustrated reader also includes four long-form essays by leading Indigenous scholars, nine artist contributions, oral history interviews and a selection of key texts from the fields of Native contemporary art, art history and theory.

Summary:
Dutch theorist and video artist Mieke Bal is well known for her specific ways of "deep reading" works by artists such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Louise Bourgeois and Nalini Malani. She intertwines her research with various disciplines, including contemporary and 19th-century literature, psychoanalysis, gender studies, philosophy and biblical studies, and she has always approached her video art as a specific form of cultural analysis. When ruminating on how she could best reflect on a full life with different roles and experiences, she did not want to write a navel-gazing autobiography. Instead, she decided on an ABC of memories and the concepts these have generated: key terms that have a specific value to her, that interlink as a mesh of meaning, weaving together daily experiences and teaching, her know-how in artmaking and the core concepts of her analytical work.

This publication includes Judd’s most well-known essays, such as "Specific Objects" and "Complaints I and II," as well as little-known essays previously published in limited editions. Moreover, to provide readers with the context and breadth of his life’s work and thinking, this new collection includes three unpublished college essays and hundreds of never-before-seen notes, an important and unknown part of Judd’s writing practice. Judd’s earliest published writing defined the terms of art criticism in the 1960s and continues to serve as a primary source of his early thinking. Judd’s subsequent writings are no less significant, though they appeared in very small editions and are almost entirely unavailable at present.

Summary:
Un nombre croissant d'artistes contemporains opte pour le mode de l'enquête. Plutôt que de « faire œuvre », ces artistes se soucient avant tout de documenter la violence d'État, l'effet des technologies répressives ou la destruction de l'environnement. En parallèle, des journalistes, des avocats et des activistes ont de plus en plus recours à des pratiques de visualisation issues du domaine de l'art. En croisant vidéos amateurs, images satellites et témoignages, des contre-enquêtes voient le jour dont la dimension visuelle et esthétique a d'autant plus d'impact. Le livre donne à voir toute l'ampleur de cette nouvelle « esthétique d'investigation » : en mobilisant des stratégies éprouvées en art ou en architecture, il s'agit de montrer les torts subis et de faire émerger une vérité souvent inconfortable. Le travail mené depuis désormais de longues années par « Forensic Architecture » rejoint d'autres pratiques de contre-analyse citoyenne, afin de briser les monopoles d'État sur les technologies de surveillance et de contredire les récits officiels. Que ce soit dans l'atelier ou le laboratoire, la salle d'audience ou la galerie, en ligne ou dans la rue, cet art de la contre-enquête replace la vérité au cœur d'un souci partagé et tisse les liens d'un nouveau « sens commun ».

If you enter an institutional mineralogical collection, you typically encounter glass cabinets organized by classification systems according to material properties.

Summary:
If you enter an institutional mineralogical collection, you typically encounter glass cabinets organized by classification systems according to material properties. Yet, each mineral carries with it a history of extraction, destruction, (dis)possession, and global relations. "Transpositional geologies" localizes such collections as indices of the afterlife of colonialism and proposes an evolving political geology, reading mineral specimens as objects of "culture" rather than of "nature." Capturing his five-year artistic engagement and cultural collaboration in Namibia and Germany, Sascha Mikloweit brings together international voices from fields including anthropology, critical theory, geology, history, museum studies, philosophy, poetry, public administration—and the perspectives of boltwoodite, cerussite, or smithsonite. Rock by rock, this exquisitely designed volume invites us to engage with a progressively nuanced reading of geology’s history: its epistemic violence, omissions and racial regimes, and how the lasting residues of its colonial legacies continue to shape our present-day extractive realities.

Summary:
''The Mountain Speaks to the Sea'' delves into Tekla Aslanishvili’s experimental film trilogy, which investigates regimes of infrastructural governance by examining how ports, railways, and smart city projects act as technologies of citizenship and sovereignty. Images of distant geographies are connected with future orientations, revealing the disruptive impacts of large-scale energy and transportation projects on the ecologies of the South Caucasus. The publication focuses on the potentiality of moving images in the making and unmaking of infrastructures. By zooming in and out on the grand narratives of infrastructural development, it assembles fragmented (hi)stories of people who live and work around sites of transit and extraction, sabotaging their material systems to challenge violent practices of statecraft. Positioned between an artist’s book and a reader, ''The Mountain Speaks to the Sea'' features contributions from writers and scholars in visual culture, political science and critical geography, and experiments with ways of translating film into printed matter.
