Summary:
"The Long Now" covers the collaborative art practice of filmmaker Elle Flanders and architect Tamira Sawatzky, collectively known as Public Studio. A wide-ranging interview with the artists by curators Emelie Chhangur and Philip Monk interrogates the frameworks from which their engaged practice emerged. Additional reflections on their work come from essays by TJ Demos, John Greyson, Susan Schuppli, and Jayne Wilkinson. Public Studio creates large-scale public art works, lensbased works, films, and immersive installations. Grounded in the personal, social, and political implications of landscape, Public Studio’s multidisciplinary practice engages themes of political dissent, war and militarization, and ecology and urbanization. Deeply collaborative and site-responsive, their work forges new understandings of what it means to be an engaged citizen today.

Summary:
Published on the occasion of the exhibition ''Tom Wesselmann: La Promesse du Bonheur'', held at the Villa Paloma, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, this catalogue is a critical overview of a key American pop artist and an important opportunity to analyze specific aspects of his work: Victorian and post-Victorian sexuality, female agency, postwar economic abundance, beauty, the erotics of anticipation, the politics of the gaze and strategies of indeterminacy. Every aspect of the book's design, including its more than 170 color illustrations, is conceived to reflect on the artist's haptic, indexical painterly approach and his oversize scale system.

Summary:
La genèse, l'histoire et le destin d'une œuvre aussi exceptionnelle que la relation entre un artiste et son collectionneur dont elle a été le vecteur. L'histoire des « Neuf Moules Mâlic » de Marcel Duchamp, œuvre originale entrée par dation dans les collections du Musée national d'art moderne du Centre Pompidou en 1997, est autant l'histoire de la matrice du « Grand Verre » ou « La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, » même et que l'histoire d'une icône de ce musée. Mais c'est aussi l'histoire de la longue et très fidèle amitié entre Marcel Duchamp et Henri-Pierre Roché, personnage rendu célèbre par la publication et la transposition au cinéma de son roman Jules et Jim.

Summary:
Best known for her striking drawings of ocean surfaces, begun in 1968 and revisited over many years both in drawings and paintings, Vija Celmins (b. 1938) has been creating exquisitely detailed renderings of natural imagery for more than five decades. The oceans were followed by desert floors and night skies—all subjects in which vast, expansive distances are distilled into luminous, meticulous, and mesmerizing small-scale artworks. For Celmins, this obsessive ''redescribing'' of the world is a way to understand human consciousness in relation to lived experience.

Summary:
Featuring over 90 works by Alexander Calder (1898–1976) including paintings, mobiles, stabiles, jewelry, domestic objects and furniture, plus six monumental outdoor sculptures, this catalog illustrates a walkthrough of an ambitious exhibition in the British countryside in Somerset. Drawing a parallel with Calder's longtime home and studio in Roxbury, Connecticut, it includes many previously unseen works. An essay by Jessica Holmes focuses on the artist's handcrafted domestic objects, offering insight into Calder's life and inventive practice. Susan Braeuer Dam focuses on Calder's move to Roxbury in 1933 and the shifts in his work, drawing upon themes of nature, process and monumentality, specifically as related to the 1934 sculptures surveyed here.

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.
