Summary:
Ce livre est une rencontre entre une artiste en art visuel et deux critiques d’art, amies de longue date, qui ont l’habitude d’écrire à quatre mains. L’ouvrage approfondi la découverte de l’œuvre de La Perrière M. en explorant d’une façon ouverte et poétique l’écriture partagée et les images. En parcourant plus d’une décennie de la pratique du dessin de Véronique La Perrière M., et de sa recherche au travers d’autres médiums comme la vidéo et la photographie, Claire Caland et Émilie Granjon ont souhaité tracer une invitation au voyage. Ici les mots dialoguent avec la trajectoire créative de l’artiste, ouvrent des pistes de réflexion et créent des liens avec les mondes de la littérature, de la mythologie et de l’histoire de l’art. Prenant une forme plus rhizomatique que linéaire, le lecteur est invité à parcourir ce livre, dans l’ordre ou dans le désordre, en arpentant trois territoires de pensée. Entremêlant la chronologique de production des œuvres, le triptyque « Miroirs », « Méthamorphose », et « Monde » tissent des toiles d’associations. Par le voyage des mots vers l’œuvre, le lecteur est convié à pénétrer dans l’univers délicat et surréel de l’artiste.

Summary:
Pièce majeure de la collection du MAMCO de Genève, Open House, créée à l'origine à SoHo (New York) durant le printemps 1972, est la seule œuvre de grande dimension de l'artiste américain Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) conservée par une institution. Il s'agit d'un container à l'intérieur duquel a été construit un labyrinthe fait de portes et de cloisons en bois récupérées. Véritable manifeste esthétique, cette construction de fortune cristallise bien des prises de position assumées par son créateur, tant dans ses relations avec la sculpture que dans ses rapports critiques à l'architecture. Elle est ici étudiée pour la première fois par trois auteur-e-s, Sophie Costes, Thierry Davila et Lydia Yee, qui en restituent toute la richesse et la complexité. Une façon de réaffirmer l'importance de la figure de Gordon Matta-Clark pour l'art des XXe et XXIe siècles.

Summary:
This book investigates Al Taylor’s drawings, which numbered over five thousand at the time of his death. It includes a chronological survey of Taylor’s drawings from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s, highlighting the combination of technical refinement, humor, and sensuousness that characterizes his works on paper. Reproductions of the works, which were inspired by such ordinary things as tin cans, pet s tains, and broomsticks, reveal the drawings’ minute details, nuanced shading, and playfully agile pencil lines. Texts explore how the rich and complex visual sensibilities of Taylor’s drawings resonate with that of late Renaissance and Baroque Old Masters. The book also examines Taylor’s innovative approach to process and materials, such as photocopier toner, with its intense black, and the extreme white of correction fluid.

Summary:
This book presents an unprecedented visual survey of the living and working spaces of the artist Donald Judd in New York and Texas. Filled with newly commissioned and previously unpublished archival photographs alongside five essays by the artist, this book provides an opportunity to explore Judd’s personal spaces, which are a crucial part of this revered artist’s oeuvre. From a 19th-century cast-iron building in Manhattan to an extensive ranch in the mountains of western Texas, this book details the interiors, exteriors, and lands surrounding the buildings that comprise Judd’s extant living and working spaces. Readers will discover how Judd developed the concept of permanent installation at Spring Street in New York City, with artworks, furniture, and decorative objects striking a balance between the building’s historic qualities and his own architectural innovations. His buildings in Marfa, Texas, demonstrate how Judd reiterated his concept of integrative living on a larger scale, extending to the reaches of the Chinati Mountains at Ayala de Chinati, his 33,000-acre ranch south of the town. Each of the spaces was thoroughly considered by Judd with resolute attention to function and design. From furniture to utilitarian structures that Judd designed himself, these residences reflect Judd’s consistent aesthetic. His spaces underscore his deep interest in the preservation of buildings and his deliberate interventions within existing architecture.

Summary:
This publication presents selections from the notebooks of the prolific and celebrated artist Gabriel Orozco. These texts, sketches, and images from notebooks spanning 1992 to 2012 offer insights into Orozco's artmaking process, revealing his thinking, methods, and rationales. The texts, translated from the original handwritten Spanish, offer personal truisms, compelling insights, observations, and notes on process and method, forming a subterranean stream that runs parallel to his artwork. “Art is the opposite of spectacle,” he writes. “Art does not try to convince anyone, that's why it's shocking.” The notebooks are fundamental to Orozco's work, serving as a travelogue and personal dictionary that, when consulted, allow him to resume the trajectory of his thought anywhere. Because Orozco chooses not to work in a studio, his notebooks act as a different kind of studio space, on paper and bound between covers.

Summary:
From her beginning in the mid-1960s through the early ’70s, German artist Anna Oppermann (1940–1993)—best known for her encyclopedic, immersive installations—created an astonishing series of surreal, almost psychedelic drawings that quietly explode the private space of the home, and her experience within it. These early drawings contribute to a feminist reentering of spheres traditionally associated with women, casting everyday objects as symbolic, consequential protagonists: houseplants sprawl to take over the picture plane, windows and mirrors provide views into other worlds and tables display drawings that themselves open out into new domestic scenes. By placing her own body—her knees, arms, the back of her head—as reference points in the work, Oppermann emphasizes the gendered realms of the home and the relationships that we form to our private spaces. This volume gathers these drawings and early installations in an English-language publication for the first time.

Summary:
Depuis le milieu des années 1990, Denis Darzacq développe un travail personnel. De la photographie de presse qui fut, comme pour d’autres photographes français de sa génération, le berceau de sa pratique artistique, il conserve avant tout un regard aiguisé sur la société contemporaine et une méthode. Denis Darzacq a acquis la conviction qu’une image construite pouvait servir son analyse de la société avec plus d’efficacité. Depuis 2003, il a recours à des mises en scène qui reposent toutes sur le principe de la « disruption » (méthodologie dynamique tournée vers la création). Par leur état ou leur pose, les corps mis en scène bouleversent l’ordre établi, sans jamais faire basculer l’image dans le spectaculaire. L’ouvrage présente des photographies extraites de séries majeures du photographe, notamment « La chute et Hyper » qui opposent deux réalités sans manipulations numériques

Summary:
Ai Weiwei is one of the world’s most acclaimed artists and dissidents. This book presents him in conversation with theorists, critics, journalists, and curators about key moments in his life and career. These wide-ranging conversations flow between topics such as his relationship with China, the meaning of citizenship, moving his studio to Lesbos to be on the front lines of the migrant crisis, how to make art, and technology as a tool for freedom or oppression. Ai opens up about his relationship to his father as a poet and as a dissident forced into hard labor in a small village after the Cultural Revolution. He shares his thoughts on formal education and the importance of finding your own way as an artist. New York- both the city and its people- were formative for Ai Weiwei, and he speaks eloquently about how these experiences continue to influence him. Ai conjures up scenes from his long relationship with the city: dropping out of Parsons School of Design because he couldn’t afford tuition, making portraits in Washington Square Park as an undocumented immigrant in the 1980s, taking photos for the New York Times at demonstrations in Tompkins Square Park, and returning to set up the ''Good Fences Make Good Neighbors'' project across the city. These candid, spontaneous conversations reveal why Ai Weiwei has become such a major force in contemporary art and political life.

Summary:
The window as motif in the drawings and paintings of Ellsworth Kelly This monograph was copublished by Cahiers d’Art and Centre Pompidou on the occasion of the 2019 exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: Windows, which brought together, for the first time, the six Windows made by Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) in France between 1949 and 1950. Kelly’s years in France were a period of perpetual invention, and are fundamental to an understanding of his work. As he wrote in 1969, “After constructing Window with two canvases and a wood frame, I realized that ... painting as I had known it was finished for me.” This signal moment is evoked through more than 80 works, paintings, drawings, sketches and photographs, along with two beautiful essays by Yve-Alain Bois and Jean-Pierre Criqui.

The second volume is the inaugural reproduction of Cage’s 1972 portfolio, Mushroom Book, authored in collaboration with illustrator Lois Long and botanist Alexander H. Smith. Readers are thus drawn through the landscape of Cage’s mycologically centred oeuvre and interests, discovering assorted works, images, compositions, philosophies and ephemera, as one might encounter assorted fungi and flora while foraging.
