Summary:
Cet ouvrage accompagne la treizième exposition temporaire du Louvre Abu Dhabi, en collaboration avec le Louvre Paris. De la fabrication à la diffusion en passant par les progrès techniques, il illustre les nombreuses caractéristiques de ce matériau si familier qui s'efface parfois de nos usages au profit du numérique aujourd'hui ancré dans tous les aspects de nos vies quotidiennes. En explorant les différentes plantes qui en sont à l'origine, tout comme les nombreuses essences dont émane sa fabrication, la diversité des œuvres d'art présentées invite à découvrir les multiples utilisations du papier comme vecteur de créativité, d'idées et d'échanges à travers les siècles et les cultures. Incluant des œuvres des collections françaises, en particulier des œuvres du musée du Louvre, du musée Guimet, de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, du Centre Georges-Pompidou, ce catalogue est aussi l'occasion de mettre en lumière des artistes contemporains locaux ainsi que des créations contemporaines internationales.

The photobook contextualizes arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much of an effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and the texts.

Summary:
The photobook contextualizes arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much of an effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and the texts. Bettina Lockemann provides an approach to the medium from a research perspective: considering the photobook as an independent subject of art theories, her phenomenological discussion complements methodological lines of thought. An important contribution to the photobook as an independent field of research, Lockemann elaborates precise terms for analyzing this medium. Through a practice-based examination of contemporary photobooks, this guide emphasizes the status of the photobook as an artwork in its own right.

Summary:
What does it mean to publish today? In the face of a changing media landscape, institutional upheavals, and discursive shifts in the legal, artistic, and political fields, concepts of ownership, authorship, work, accessibility, and publicity are being renegotiated. The field of publishing not only stands at the intersection of these developments but is also introducing new ruptures. How the traditional publishing framework has been cast adrift, and which opportunities are surfacing in its stead, is discussed here by artists, publishers, and scholars through the examination of recent publishing concepts emerging from the experimental literature and art scene, where publishing is often part of an encompassing artistic practice. The number and diversity of projects among the artists, writers, and publishers concerned with these matters show that it is time to move the question of publishing from the margin to the center of aesthetic and academic discourse.

At some point before publication, a book assumes its final form, the form in which it is experienced by its audience.

Summary:
At some point before publication, a book assumes its final form, the form in which it is experienced by its audience. Naturally, this audience is often oblivious to the many, sometimes complex, decisions involved in constructing visual meaning through the montage of different ideas and elements. But, although these deliberate decisions are not normally communicated to the audience, the book is always to some extent a conception, or mediated presentation. The contributors to "Before Publication" consider the construction of visual meaning through montage, with each essay taking as its starting point a particular artifact—from Ed Ruscha’s photobook, Every Building on the Sunset Strip to works by Sergei Eisenstein, Muriel Cooper, and Marshall McLuhan to Tristan Tzara’s unpublished Dadaglobe anthology. A common theme threading throughout the chapters is the relationship between privacy and publicity. A concise introductory chapter by the book’s editors, Nanni Baltzer and Martino Stierli places the chapters in conversation and discusses the broader subject of montage in art, architecture, and book design.
