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:
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:
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.

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.

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.

Summary:
Published to accompany the acclaimed summer 2008 After Nature exhibition at New York's New Museum, this unique catalogue pays tribute to the work of W.G. Sebald by repurposing existing copies of his 1988 three-part prose poem, from which the show borrowed its title. Called "an arresting gesture" by The New Yorker's Peter Scheldahl, the catalogue consists of the original book, enriched with images that have been hand-placed between the pages, and a new fold-out dust jacket. The result is a singular hybrid that is part appropriation, part recycled material--informed by the artistic tradition of the found object. Conceived as an homage, the catalogue features an essay by the New Museum's Massimiliano Gioni, a complete checklist and 25 color images by each of the featured artists, who include Pawel Althamer, Huma Bhabha, Maurizio Cattelan, William Christenberry, Nathalie Djurberg, Werner Herzog, Zoe Leonard, Klara Liden, Dana Schutz and Tino Sehgal, among others.
