Summary:
Le terme "curating", qu'on traduit souvent par commissariat d'exposition, n'a pas de véritable équivalent en français. Dans cette conférence tenue à l'École normale supérieure de Paris, il apparaît que l'essentiel du travail du curator réside dans la discussion avec les artistes et la maïeutique de la pensée.

Summary:
Définie en 1848 comme science des milieux, la mésologie est née des travaux d'un disciple d'Auguste Comte, le médecin Charles Robin. Sous l'influence de la phénoménologie, elle a été refondée sur d'autres bases au XXe siècle par le naturaliste Jakob von Uexküll - précurseur de l'éthologie et de la biosémiotique - et par le philosophe Tetsurô Watsuji.

Tous deux - Uexküll au niveau du vivant en général, Watsuji à celui de l'humain en particulier - introduisent un double principe : d'une part, dans sa relation à l'environnement, l'être n'est pas un objet, mais un sujet qui interprète activement l'environnement pour en élaborer son milieu propre ; d'autre part, le milieu ne doit pas être confondu avec le donné brut de l'environnement.

Summary:
David Senior, bibliographer at the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York, selected a wide range of exhibition-related ephemera – invitations, flyers and posters from the 1960s to the present – and presents them here as an historically overlooked but integral aspect of exhibitions. Often the first point of contact between the audience and artist, such items form part of an essential lexicon for graphic designers, curators, art historians and anyone interested in the event-based nature of showing art. Filled with full-colour reproductions of numerous examples from the MoMA collection, the book includes new essays and analysis by Angie Keefer, Clive Phillpot and Will Holder, among others.

Summary:
Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences; architects constantly redesign them; and the ever-swellling ranks of artists are producing a greater quantity of art than ever before. Meanwhile, museum funds are dwindling amid economic crisis and an overheated art market. The question of which art is to be collected has also become a more openly discussed topic. How do curators meet these challenges? How do artists view their relationships to museum? How do practitioners navigate between ideas, ideals and realities? This publication gathers interviews with artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world, such as John Baldessari, Ute Meta Bauer, Suzanne Cotter, Bice Curiger, Chris Dercon, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Michael Govan, Jacques Herzog, Thomas Hirschhorn, Philipp Kaiser, Rem Koolhaas, Lars Nittve, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Thierry Raspail, Tobias Rehberger and Beatrix Ruf, among others.

Over the past decade, spectacular buildings and increased attendance have been accompanied by increased expectations for museums to create new ways for visitors to interact with art. Against a backdrop of large demographic shifts and geopolitical shuffles resulting in rapid museum growth in Asia and the Middle East, museums around the world face new opportunities and challenges. This book brings together the perspectives of prominent museum leaders, directors, curators, architects and artists such as David Adjaye, Melissa Chiu (the Hirshhorn), Adam Lerner (MCA Denver), Glenn Lowry (MoMA), Walid Raad (Cooper Union), Hiroshi Sugimoto and others.

Summary:
Le discours sur l'art traite généralement d'œuvres, d'artistes ou de création mais délaisse un aspect essentiel de la relation esthétique : l'exposition. De fait, la question est complexe : comment aborder conjointement des éléments aussi hétérogènes que les relations entre objets, les relations de ces objets à des lieux ou à des publics ou encore les relations internes au monde de l'art qu'ils sous-tendent ? Une partie de la difficulté tient aux compréhensions contradictoires impliquées par l'exposition ; car exposer c'est à la fois produire une énonciation (un exposé) et découvrir, mettre à nu, mettre en danger. A la fois révéler - en un sens quasi photographique - et dévoiler : dénoncer et donner en exemple - rabaisser et élever. Bien que la question de l'art et de son appréciation ne se réduise évidemment pas à un ensemble de dispositifs de présentation, à des textes d'accompagnement ou de critique, à des choix de commissaires, il n'en demeure pas moins que la prise en compte des procédures d'exposition éclaire singulièrement la place de l'art dans notre monde. Des explications sur les circonstances entourant la création d'une œuvre - de même que la façon dont ces circonstances sont connues et divulguées - enrichissent sa connaissance et en modifient le sens et l'approche. De même, une réflexion sur les publics, la scénographie, l'architecture, les commentaires, les textes de présentation, permet de voir en quoi les différentes médiations orientent et réorientent en permanence le jugement sur les œuvres et notre compréhension de l'art.
