Summary:
Magie lumineuse des plaisirs et de la fête, magie noire des foules menaçantes : pour de nombreux artistes, la ville est magique. Familière et pourtant étrange, elle fascine et inquiète. Lieu de la modernité et de la création artistique, la ville n’est plus un simple décor. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, la ville, perçue comme lieu de tous les possibles, tous les plaisirs, et toutes les innovations, devient chez certains artistes le personnage principal de quelque conte fantastique. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, le phénomène se généralise et la ville moderne génère plusieurs mythes successifs, de New York à Paris, en passant par Berlin. Pendant quatre décennies, des artistes de tous horizons proposent leur vision de la métropole, tour à tour fascinante, étrange ou menaçante. Une inquiétante étrangeté hante les oeuvres de Giorgio De Chirico, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Victor Brauner, George Grosz, Anton Räderscheit, Carel Willink, Pyke Koch… et de la fine fleur de l’avant-garde photographique et cinématographique internationale (Brassaï, Ilse Bing, Louis Faurer, Heins Hajek- Halke, Raoul Hausmann, Lucien Hervé, André Kertész, Umbo… ainsi que René Clair, Howard Hawks, Fritz Lang, Walther Ruttmann, Charles Sheeler et Paul Strand, Dziga Vertov…).

Summary:
Cet ouvrage a été publié à l’occasion de l’exposition collective «Exercices de réciprocité / Exercices in Reciprocity», qui s’est tenue à la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement, au printemps 2022, sous le commissariat de Ji-Yonn Han. L’exposition regroupait les œuvres de sept artistes aux pratiques variées : Jérôme Nadeau, Katherine Melançon, Adam Basanta, Christina Battle, Mary Anne Barkhouse, Cynthia Girard-Renard, Ioana Vreme Moser. La proposition commissariale consistait à réunir les artistes non pas autour d’un sujet ou d’une esthétique particulière, mais plutôt sur la base d’un engagement envers la notion éthique de réciprocité. Les projets ont donc été développés puis déployés dans un esprit de dialogue et d’apprentissage, qui s’est tout d’abord exercé en collaboration avec Nicole O’Bomsawin, anthropologue, muséologue et conteuse, dans le cadre des partenariats de recherche du Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-Aki. Les principes de réciprocité et d’hospitalité ont guidé l’ensemble du processus, en cherchant à construire des relations éthiques et durables entre la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement et la Nation Waban-aki, gardienne ancestrale des terres qui l’accueille. Cette publication contient un texte de la commissaire qui présente comment l’exposition aborde le potentiel de l’art d’alimenter la recherche sur les manières holistiques d’habiter le monde. L’ouvrage comprend également les notices complètes des œuvres présentées dans l’exposition ainsi qu’un court texte pour chaque artiste, portant attention aux relations qui s’établissent entre les gestes artistiques, la conscience du monde et l’engagement envers la préservation de la diversité des écosystèmes.

Summary:
It is often assumed that reading about the lives of artists enhances our understanding of their work, and that their work reveals something about them, but the relationship between biography and art is rarely straightforward. In The Life and the Work, art historians Thomas Crow, Charles Harrison, Rosalind Krauss, Debora Silverman, Paul Smith, and Robert Williams address(...)

Summary:
It is often assumed that reading about the lives of artists enhances our understanding of their work, and that their work reveals something about them, but the relationship between biography and art is rarely straightforward. In The Life and the Work, art historians Thomas Crow, Charles Harrison, Rosalind Krauss, Debora Silverman, Paul Smith, and Robert Williams address this fundamental if convoluted relationship. Looking to such figures as Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Leonardo da Vinci, and the artists associated with the name Art & Language, the volume's authors have written a set of provocative essays that explore how an artist's life and art are intertwined.

Que génère une grande ville ? Comment la dévoiler intimement ? Qu'est-ce que la ville engendre comme mélange d'abstraction, de contradiction et de situations concrètes ? Quelle est la nature de ce qu'elle porte en elle de violences, de frustrations, de lien social plus ou moins mis à mal ? Sont ici réunis un ensemble d'artistes qui donnent leur vision de la ville. Un ouvrage qui démontre avec force que la ville développe en son sein depuis des millénaires ce que l'humain porte en lui de plus sombre, mais également de plus complexe et de plus ouvert sur le monde. Ce catalogue est la réunion de deux expositions : l'une, collective réunissant une trentaire d'artistes au Centre culturel Boris Vian aux Ulis du 26 février au 25 mars 2007, et l'autre, personnelle, des œuvres de Pascale Lafay au Centre culturel André Malraux au Kremlin-Bicêtre du 26 avril au 25 mai 2007.

Summary:
As we spend our days increasingly glued to our computers and handheld devices, rapidly tapping keywords into Google, cutting and pasting Word docs and texting urgently truncated messages, it is becoming increasingly rare to pen anything by hand. No wonder hand-written fonts are all the rage in the world of graphic design. Writing, like drawing, has become an endangered act. Drawings on Text--which explores the idea that when a hand-written note is illegible, it becomes a drawing--is the third book in this series, edited by Dutch artist Serge Onnen. The handwritten can take many forms, from an illegibly scrawled letter to initials carved into a tree with a knife. A catholic selection of the hand-written-as-drawing is included in this innovative volume, which was first published in Zing magazine. Included are pieces by John Cage, Napoleon Bonaparte, Olav Westphalen, Roland Barthes, Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo, among others.

Summary:
Based on an exhibition of the same title, this book focus on self-confident, non-conformist feminist positions, and points out that new role models and strategies are being requested. In her essay, Amelia Jones contests the notion of a current post-feminism and, using the example of Pipilotti Rist's works, develops a model of parafeminism. Refering to Mary Beth Edelson and Annie Sprinkle, Maria Elena Buszek compares two generations and their respective strategies, and Katy Deepwell questions the role of female artists within art history. Mercedes Bunz looks at femininism in relation to flexibilized capitalism and diagnoses a new form of oppression. The exhibition's curator, Heike Munder, presents a survey of the exhibition's different positions and makes an appeal for new role models. With contributions by artists such as Anat Ben-David, Patty Chang, Mary Beth Edelson, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Manon, Yoko Ono, Pipilotti Rist, Katharina Sieverding, Annie Sprinkle, and Mathilde ter Heijne. Published with the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich.

Summary:
The title of this beautiful Penguin Classic look-alike collection of essays and pictures is taken from a poem that Michael Elmgreen wrote when he was 19 years old. The poem describes, in its own simple, youthful manner, issues of emotional homelessness. Home traditionally alludes to family, local context and nationality--to structures which are pre-set and often disconnected to one's individual desires. The Norwegian-Danish artist duo asked friends and colleagues to react to their own notions of home--as a place they left... or didn't. Featuring texts and image-based contributions by the likes of Bill Arning, Henrik Olesen, Jakob Kolding, Monica Bonvicini, Jens Hoffmann and David Shrigley, among many others. Berlin-based Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset have collaborated since 1995. They have had recent solo exhibitions at the Serpentine Gallery in London and The Power Plant in Toronto.
