Summary:
Contemporary visual culture has been dominated by futuristic utopian and dystopian ideas that reflect a longing for a seamless interface between the virtual and real, as well as a desire for a release from the constraints of space and time. Constructed around both speculative predictions and creative scientific arguments, these ideas contribute to a pervasive visual rhetoric that influences our sense of things to come. Delving into the importance of these perspectives and the art that both results from and shapes them, this volume is a spirited exploration of the interface between art and theory in the twenty-first century.

Summary:
This volume discusses the experimental documentary projects of artists such as Hito Steyerl, Joachim Koester, Tacita Dean, Matthew Buckingham, Zoe Leonard, Jean-Luc Moulène, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead, and Anri Sala. Their films, videos, and photographic series address failed utopian experiments and counter-hegemonic social practices. This study illustrates the political significance of these artistic practices and critically contributes to the debate on the conditions of utopian thinking in late-capitalist society, arguing that contemporary artists' interest in the past is the result of a shift within the temporal organization of the utopian imagination from its futuristic pole toward remembrance.

Summary:
Le Bauhaus fut une institution créative et pourtant irrésolue. Bien des disputes ont jalonné son histoire. S'il fut fermé d'autorité en 1933 par les nazis à peine arrivés au pouvoir, c'est sans doute parce que ce pouvoir ne pouvait supporter son principe de tension incessante. Pareil événement n'est pas seulement de circonstance. Il relève de possibilités qui n'ont pas(...)

Pareil événement n'est pas seulement de circonstance. Il relève de possibilités qui n'ont pas nécessairement disparu de notre horizon. Que le politique ait pu se déchaîner et que dans ce déchaînement même il n'ait pas admis que soient discutées des questions qui, le plus souvent sous une allure artistique, touchaient en définitive aux valeurs, portées et méthodes du faire ou du produire en général, voilà sur quoi il faut encore réfléchir.

Summary:
Parachute was founded in 1975 by Chantal Pontbriand and France Morin. Following the previous three Parachute volumes, this last title of the Parachute anthology focuses on painting, sculpture, installation and architecture. These topics are approached from several perspectives: from new theories of aesthetic production, especially painting, to the expansion of the art world to other artistic territories during the 1980s and 1990s (Russia and South America, for instance), from the "lessons" of postmodernism to the proliferation of installation art. The essays discuss works by artists such as Lothar Baumgarten, Mona Hatoum, Guillermo Kuitca, Louise Lawler, Reinhard Mucha, Jackson Pollock, Robert Ryman, Michael Snow and Sots Art artists, and include two particularly seminal artist's essays: Dan Graham on Gordon Matta-Clark, and Jeff Wall on Édouard Manet.

Le constat demeure aujourd'hui encore lucide : depuis les années 1950 se sont multipliés aussi bien les musées d'art moderne que les écrits qui lui sont consacrés. Mais jamais on a(...)

Over time, other artists came to the village, forming a community of artists and designers that remains active today. In the 1950s, these artists, including Bawden, Ravilious, John Aldridge, Michael Rothenstein, and Marianne Straub, among others, held now-famous “open house” exhibitions, displaying their modernist works to the public in their own homes. These informal shows brought acclaim to the artists, and also brought thousands of visitors to the quaint village. This illustrated book shows how that community, and its neigh- boring landscape, nurtured a distinctive style of art, design, and illustration

Visual arts, economics, physics, dance, architecture and music were all taught here on an equal footing, and teachers and students lived together in a democratically organized community. The first director of the school was Josef Albers, and icons such as John Cage, Walter Gropius and Buckminster Fuller were among the many luminaries invited to teach. In consequence, BMC witnessed the development of a cutting-edge range of avant-garde concepts and ideas that still influence the art world today.
