Summary:
Publiée à l'occasion de l'exposition de Francis Alÿs au Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne en 2021, cette monographie s'articule autour de quelques motifs essentiels qui caractérisent la pratique de l'artiste d'origine belge basé au Mexique : sa pratique vidéo depuis trente ans ; l'importance de la déambulation et de la marche pour sa méthode artistique ; son intérêt pour les jeux d'enfants qu'il filme dans différents pays depuis 1999. De la déambulation urbaine à l'exploration des territoires et de leurs frontières documentée par des images en mouvement, le travail d'Alÿs propose une poétique de l'espace à travers des récits brefs dont la finesse et la justesse expliquent sa renommée. Si son travail interroge le lien entre acte artistique et intervention politique, l'artiste travaille toujours par allusions, avec une précision et une économie de moyens remarquables, préférant la polysémie poétique au commentaire politique frontal, privilégiant la fusion d'espaces imaginaires planifiés avec ses propres espaces fictionnels. La publication documente également Reel-Unreel, l'un des projets majeurs d'Alÿs réalisé en Afghanistan, comprenant des jeux pour enfants et des boucles d'animation dessinées à la main ainsi que des peintures et des œuvres graphiques.

Summary:
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fabric works from the last two decades in the career of artist Louise Bourgeois. This body of work began when the artist started incorporating clothes from all stages of her life into her art, and later expanded to include a range of other textiles such as bed linen, handkerchiefs, tapestry, and needlepoint. The fabric works mine the themes of identity and sexuality, trauma and memory, guilt and reparation, and serve as metaphors for emotional and psychological states. The catalogue – which accompanies the exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, and the Gropius Bau, Berlin – features works from numerous series, including the monumental Cell installations, figurative sculptures, and abstract drawings.

Summary:
Exploring the evolution of Agnes Martin's sublime use of color, this volume celebrates Agnes Martin's pursuit of beauty, happiness and innocence in her nonobjective art created while living in the desert of New Mexico. From her multicolored striped works to compositions of color-washed bands defined by hand-drawn lines, to the deep gray Black Paintings that characterized her work in the late 1980s, Martin's treatment of color in each of these phases is examined. A particular emphasis is placed on the latter half of her career and the broadening vision that developed during her years working in the desert, which crystalized her quest to deepen her understanding of the essence of painting, unattached to emotion or subject, yet radiant and meditative in its pure abstraction.
