Summary:
"Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics" is the most comprehensive documentation and analysis to date of late artist Beatriz da Costa's (1974–2012) groundbreaking work. As a retrospective of a brilliant young artist, it renders a social portrait of her artistic practice by both contextualizing the work in its historical period (late 1990s to early 2010s) and extending the work's socio-political concerns to the present. The book, edited by Daniela Lieja Quintanar, features a collection of essays by curators, artists, and researchers from a variety of fields, including technoscience, tactical media, cancer research, environmental justice, performance art, and participatory art. It also includes a group of reflections written by former collaborators and close friends.

Summary:
Huong Ngô (born 1979) is a Hong Kong–born artist based in Santa Barbara. Her conceptual, research-based practice often takes the form of installation, printmaking and nontraditional mediums. Ungrafting looks at histories of colonial violence, specifically French colonialism in Vietnam, as well as resistance movements, through image-making, translations and material investigations. Ngô turns to a series of early 20th-century photographs showing foreign trees and tree grafts planted in Vietnam by the French. For the artist, grafting—a procedure that involves cutting and splicing different species into a single plant—serves as a powerful metaphor for the physical violence inherent in colonialism. An essay by Justin Quang Nguyên Phan, and conversations between Ngô and Aline Lo and Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi and Chadwick Allen, reflect on the connection between Ngô’s exhibition and global anticolonialism, the trans-Indigenous and the role of the archive in artistic production.

Summary:
Cette publication regroupe les œuvres de l’artiste Yann Pocreau, des œuvres sur la lumière, du moins sur l’essence de celle-ci d’un point de vue philosophique et esthétique. L’artiste a pensé le livre comme on conçoit une exposition, chaque page dialoguant avec la suivante à travers des détails minutieusement choisis pour modifier notre perception à chaque lecture. Trois auteurs se sont prêtés au jeu de l’écriture avec des regards différents sur le travail de Pocreau le rendant vaste et intrigant. C’est suite à une résidence artistique à l’Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic, que l’artiste est profondément transformé dans son rapport à l’art et par le fait même au monde. Son attitude de chercheur laisse alors une place à l’indéfinissable et à l’impermanence à travers la beauté de l’image.

Summary:
In this book, curator Michelle White considers the unique and timely implications of how the artist Tacita Dean draws. Covering over three decades of work, from sweeping chalk landscapes to fleeting celestial phenomena on film, White proposes that the artist approaches drawing as an indeterminate journey of fate and folly, chance and medium. She argues that Dean’s strategy of adopting blindness to make an image is an urgent response to our culturally, technologically, and ecologically unstable moment. The text, illustrated with more than forty images, is based on seven years of conversations between the author and the artist.

Summary:
Cette publication présente le récent travail de l’artiste avec plus de 75 œuvres en format pleine page pour le plus grand bonheur des yeux. À travers les détails colorés, les lignes peintes et la vision précise des autrices, nous parcourons en profondeur les intérêts de la peintre, ses gestes d’organisation du chaos et sa vision intuitive de la pratique artistique. « Dans le monde tout en tensions de Grassi, des lignes scintillantes sont lacées dans leur nuance chromatique et leur interdépendance visuelle. De loin, elles semblent avoir une valeur représentative, rappelant les fils tissés d’un tissu ancestral. De tout près, elles se transforment en une abstraction pure, se révèlent être un trompe-l’œil subtil et finement exécuté. » – Laura Vigo
