The approach, which is now applied in all spheres of knowledge, is one which also defines artistic practice.

Summary:
The art of networked thinking consists in making complexity easier to handle and creating scope for new ideas. The approach, which is now applied in all spheres of knowledge, is one which also defines artistic practice. The subject of this book is some two dozen atlases, charts, and diagrams of Russian history and the history of art from antiquity to postmodernism that were designed between 1953 and 1973 by Fluxus initiator George Maciunas. Without such visualization of the past, so Maciunas believed, there could be no real understanding of how art and politics have evolved. His maps, charts, and diagrams, more than half of which are published for the first time here in this second edition, attempt in various ways to draw a picture of history made up of dates and facts, and lines and arrows. The result is fascinating, for both science and art.

Summary:
Intégrée dans l'histoire de l'art avec le Pop Art, célébrée un peu partout en Europe (la France mise à part) et aux États-Unis, l'œuvre de l'Anglais Richard Hamilton n'a pas fait l'objet d'une monographie qui embrasse l'ensemble de sa carrière – de 1950 à aujourd'hui. Diversité, absence apparente d'un «style», constant renouvellement, rendent ardue, il est vrai, son appréhension globale. La capacité de l'artiste et de son œuvre à considérer des univers variés signale aussi une méthode qui tranche avec celle qu'ont adoptée nombre de ses contemporains. Avoir choisi de suivre l'ordre de la compréhension constitue donc l'originalité épistémologique de cette étude qui débute dans les années 1980 et se développe à partir de ce que Hamilton est devenu. Opérant au plus près de peintures dont la «structure» est précisément analysée, et les circonstances tant historiques qu'artistiques examinées, l'ouvrage donne un éclairage inédit sur plus d'un demi-siècle de travail : il révèle comment, dans une relation dialogique avec les mass médias, un artiste a construit une œuvre réflexive dont la richesse plastique n'a d'égale que la complexité sémantique.

La pratique de Bill Vazan est généralement associée au land art et aux montages photographiques. Pourtant, dès la fin des années 1960, cet artiste élabore un langage conceptuel singulier et réalise des œuvres emblématiques. Cette première monographie consacrée à son travail conceptuel espère rendre compte d’une œuvre profonde, inventive et rigoureuse, laquelle n’avait pas encore fait l’objet d’une telle attention. Bill Vazan's practice is generally associated with land art and photographic montages. Yet in the late 1960s, the artist began developing a singular conceptual language, creating a number of emblematic works. This first monograph devoted to his Conceptual work attempts to pay tribute to an inventive, rigorous, and profound body of work that has not garnered special attention until now.
