Summary:
Doris Salcedo, a Colombian-born artist, addresses the politics of memory and forgetting in work that embraces fraught situations in dangerous places. Noted critic and theorist Mieke Bal narrates between the disciplines of contemporary culture in order to boldly reimagine the role of the visual arts. In Of What One Cannot Speak, Bal leads us into intimate encounters with Salcedo’s art, encouraging us to consider each work as a “theoretical object” that invites—and demands—certain kinds of considerations about history, death, erasure, and grief.

Summary:
This book presents The Hill - a massive and enigmatic work of art engineered, built, and designed by an equally enigmatic American artist. For more than a quarter of a century, the American artist James Magee has been engaged in a largely secret and solitary endeavour that takes up 52,000 square feet of vast plain in West Texas, USA. A former lawyer, taxi driver, and offshore roughneck, Magee settled in El Paso where he has made a name for himself as a painter, sculptor, poet, and video maker. With 'The Hill', a complex of pavilions joined by ramps and walkways, Magee reveals himself to be an architect, engineer, and builder as well. Luminous photographs of the four buildings in 'The Hill' capture their stark presence in the desert. In addition this book takes readers inside the complex to view enormous installations and sculptures made from natural objects: stone, flowers, wood, iron, and glass. Reminiscent of ruins from the Mayan, Egyptian, and European cultures, 'The Hill' is nonetheless distinctively American.

Summary:
Axel Ciesielski is an avid collector of Sigmar Polke s work, probably the only person in the world who can say that he owns each one of the artist s editions. This catalog presents all the posters produced for Polke s museum and gallery exhibitions posters almost exclusively designed and determined by the artists ironic eye. A particularly fascinating aspect of Ciesielski s collection is that it includes perfect copies of all these posters as ephemeral counterparts to Polke s work; the artist himself included the posters in his catalog raisonné, pointing to their hybrid state between artwork and advertisement. The book is also a journey through the art world of the 1960s, revealing Polke s early benefactors as well as the institutional retrospectives that subsequently promoted and reflected his worldwide fame.

Summary:
Monographie de référence : un parcours complet, sur près de 10 ans, de l'œuvre de l'artiste française récompensée du Lion d'argent à la 55e Biennale de Venise, en quelque 400 images, avec deux essais et un entretien. D'abord reconnu pour ses vidéos et films d'animation qui mêlent dessin, musique et images cinématographiques, parfois grattées ou retravaillées, le travail de Camille Henrot (née en 1978, vit et travaille à Paris) brouille les catégories traditionnellement hiérarchiques de l'histoire de l'art. Ses dernières œuvres, qui se déclinent sous forme de sculptures, dessins, photographies, et toujours films, traitent de la fascination exercée par l'ailleurs et par l'autre (géographique, mais aussi sexuel), fascination reprise dans les mythes populaires modernes dont s'inspire Camille Henrot. Les objets hybrides, impurs, de l'artiste jettent un doute sur l'écriture linéaire et cloisonnée de l'histoire occidentale, et soulignent sa part d'emprunts et ses zones d'ombres.
