Summary:
In science and technology, the images used to depict ideas, data, and reactions can be as striking and explosive as the concepts and processes they embody—both works of art and generative forces in their own right. Drawing on a close dialogue between the histories of art, science, and technology, The Technical Image explores these images not as mere illustrations or(...)

With The Cube and the Face, renowned French art historian and philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman has conducted a careful analysis of Cube, consulting the artist’s sketches, etchings, texts, and other sculptural works in the years just before and after Cube was created. Cube, he finds, is indeed exceptional—a work without clear stylistic kinship to the works that came(...)

Summary:
With The Cube and the Face, renowned French art historian and philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman has conducted a careful analysis of Cube, consulting the artist’s sketches, etchings, texts, and other sculptural works in the years just before and after Cube was created. Cube, he finds, is indeed exceptional—a work without clear stylistic kinship to the works that came before or after it. At the same time, Didi-Huberman shows, Cube marks the transition between the artist’s surrealist and realist phases and contains many elements of Giacometti’s aesthetic consciousness, including his interest in dimensionality, the relation of the body to geometry, and the portrait—or what Didi-Huberman terms “abstract anthropomorphism.”

Summary:
In the Holocene is based on a 2012 group exhibition of the same name at the MIT List Visual Arts Center that explored art as a speculative science, investigating principles more commonly associated with scientific or mathematical thought. Through the work of an intergenerational group of artists, the exhibition and book propose that art acts as an investigative and experimental form of inquiry, addressing or amending what is explained through traditional scientific or mathematical means: entropy, matter, time (cosmic, geological), energy, topology, mimicry, perception, consciousness, et cetera. Sometimes employing scientific methodologies or the epistemology of science, other times investigating phenomena not restricted to any scientific discipline, art can be seen as a form of inquiry into the physical and natural world. In this sense, both art and science share an interest in knowledge, realism, and observable phenomena, yet are subject to different logics, principles of reasoning, and conclusions.

Summary:
This collection examines key aesthetic avant-garde art movements of the twentieth century and their relationships with revolutionary politics. The contributors distinguish aesthetic avant-gardes —whose artists aim to transform society and the ways of sensing the world through political means—from the artistic avant-gardes, which focus on transforming representation. Following the work of philosophers such as Friedrich Schiller and Jacques Rancière, the contributors argue that the aesthetic is inherently political and that aesthetic avant-garde art is essential for political revolution.

What exactly is being valued in the financial approach to culture, and what is being overlooked? Giving and Taking is an ambitious project that sets out to answer these questions. In the form of ten essays by authors from a range of disciplines, the volume represents a collective effort to establish a value of art that escapes or transcends the monetary.

Les successeurs d'Aby Warburg (1866-1929), l'éminent fondateur de l'Institut qui porte son nom, envisagèrent pendant des décennies de publier les très nombreux documents laissés par celui-ci à sa mort ; sans succès, tant ce projet était ambitieux et en partieirréalisable. L'historien de l'art E. H. Gombrich, sollicité pour mettre ces documents en ordre, prit le parti de les trier afin de faire ressortir la trajectoire intellectuelle d'Aby Warburg. C'est le sujet de cette biographie singulière, fruit de nombreuses années de décryptage et de sélection, où ne sont cités que des fragments pertinents des archives de Warburg à l'appui du récit rigoureux et lumineux de Gombrich.

Summary:
Nous continuons à considérer l'art en tant que spectateurs, alors que nous en sommes désormais les acteurs. Tel est l'étonnant constat dressé par Boris Groys, l'enfant terrible de la théorie de l'art contemporaine. Mais que cela signifie-t-il ? Quelles sont les conséquences, non seulement esthétiques, mais aussi politiques, de la réalisation de la prophétie de Joseph Beuys, voulant que chacun devra un jour devenir artiste ? Qu'est-ce qu'un monde dans lequel les créateurs d'images sont en nombre plus important que les spectateurs ?
