Summary:
“It has never been my ambition to treat artworks as illustrations of philosophical doctrines. Rather, I believe that the works explored give rise to their own set of concepts.” A philosophical essay on time, phenomenology and beyond, Daniel Birnbaum’s Chronology was recently reviewed in the April 2006 issue of frieze as a “compelling and sophisticated take on the common theme of Deleuzian immanence.” Whereas many theoretical books littering the bookshops of art institutions are laudations of excess, Birnbaum’s convictions presented in Chronology cut a way through the “caesuras of non-meaning and blankness into the thick web of sense.” The works of artists such as Stan Douglas, Eija-Liisa Athila, Doug Aitken, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Tacita Dean, Darren Almond, Tobias Rehberger, Pierre Huyghe, and Philippe Parreno are scrutinized as so many attempts to capture the very dialectic of time itself. As Brian Dillon writes in frieze, “Birnbaum’s notion of an art of unpredictable becoming … has its aporias too. A brief aside apropos Matthew Barney – to the effect that his art is all meaning, all of the time – is quite telling.” Daniel Birnbaum is Rector of the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main and Director of its Portikus gallery. A contributing editor of Artforum, he is the author of a number of texts on art and philosophy.

Summary:
Air equals information. All organic air users - plants, humans and other animals - contribute to the hybrid space that is the atmosphere through breathing and sending chemical messages. Unlike other organic air users, humans, in addition, saturate air space with electronic data. This book argues in favour of ‘remembering air’ that is expressed in the shift from the ‘leap into the void’ to ‘going aerial’. Going aerial enables us to receive and transmit airborne data of various sources that were previously inaccessible due to a lack of technology and, more importantly, due to lack of awareness and interest in air as carrier, conductor and catalyst of communication processes. Going aerial offers an original account of the most innovative air-using strategies that have been developed by artists and architects in the form of machines, robots, nomadic inflatables, bubbles, ambiances, and atmospheres.

Picturing spaces, displacing bodies : anamorphosis in early Modern theories of perspective

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
In "Picturing Space, Displacing Bodies", Lyle Massey argues that we can only learn how and why certain kinds of spatial representation prevailed over others by carefully considering how Renaissance artists and theorists interpreted perspective. Combining detailed historical studies with broad theoretical and philosophical investigations, this book challenges basic assumptions about the way early modern artists and theorists represented their relationship to the visible world and how they understood these representations. By analyzing technical feats such as anamorphosis (the perspectival distortion of an object to make it viewable only from a certain angle), drawing machines, and printed diagrams, each chapter highlights the moments when perspective theorists failed to unite a singular, ideal viewpoint with the artist’s or viewer’s viewpoint or were unsuccessful at conjoining fictive and lived space. Showing how these "failures" were subsequently incorporated rather than rejected by perspective theorists, the book presents an important reassessment of the standard view of Renaissance perspective. While many scholars have maintained that perspective rationalized the relationships among optics, space, and painting, "Picturing Space, Displacing Bodies" asserts instead that Renaissance and early modern theorists often revealed a disjunction between geometrical ideals and practical applications. In some cases, they not only identified but also exploited these discrepancies. This discussion of perspective shows that the painter’s geometry did not always conform to the explicitly rational, Cartesian formula that so many have assumed, nor did it historically unfold according to a standard account of scientific development.

Il dénonce la servitude née du mode industriel de production, le gigantisme des outils, le culte de la croissance indéfinie et de la réussite matérielle. L'homme va-t-il réclamer son droit, reprendre la parole et le pouvoir de décider, rouvrir un espace social de rencontres et d'échanges, se souvenir qu'il a un passé, des voisins, des égaux? Ce n'est que par la redécouverte de la convivialité que les sociétés s'humaniseront.

AUDC's first book captures three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects. “Ether” explores the Los Angeles telecom hotel, One Wilshire; a 39 story building of utter banality and complete mystery. “The Stimulus Progression” examines the strange story of the Muzak Corporation and the invention of a culture of horizontality. “Quartzsite, Arizona” visits a desert town of 3,000 people that swells to over 1 million residents every summer when modern nomads in Recreational Vehicles descend upon in it in hordes. This book is a lively mix of philosophy, photography, architectural drawings and models, and new media.

Summary:
Objets perdus, objets retrouvés ? Subrepticement, le passé se loge dans les objets de la vie quotidienne, dans les sensations qu'ils éveillent et qui lui servent de supports mnémoniques. La recherche proustienne du temps perdu peut se décliner sous l'angle de l'objet. Cet ouvrage a lancé l'invitation à des chercheurs, spécialistes de ces questions, de développer la relation qu'ils établissent entre objets et mémoires. Plusieurs perspectives contemporaines en sciences sociales proposent de dépasser une lecture symboliste des objets en défendant l'idée selon laquelle ils sont au cœur des rapports sociaux. En s'attachant à décrire les dispositifs auxquels ils prennent part, ces théories donnent aux objets une position d'égalité avec les humains dans leur capacité à construire le monde. Ce rôle leur confère une place privilégiée dans la mise en mémoire de l'histoire. Objets refuges de l'identité, du patrimoine, de l'art, de la valeur marchande, des souvenirs familiaux, tous concentrent des formes d'investissements. De l'investissement compensatoire à la consolation, à la délégation morale ou aux régimes de valeurs biographiques, ces postures impliquent différents traitements : passion, haine, fétichisme ou affranchissement de l'objet. Les auteurs : James Clifford, Michèle de la Pradelle, Octave Debary, Jacques Hainard, Janet Hoskins, Emmanuelle Lallement, Bruno Latour, Gérard Lenclud, Thierry Paquot, Dominique Poulot, Arnaud Tellier, Laurier Turgeon, Jean-Philippe Uzel

Qu’a pu représenter l’architecture pour Wittgenstein, qu’a-t-il pensé de ce type d’exercice et qui nous a été transmis à travers ses écrits ? Le modèle de l’architecture nous éclaire sur le sens et la portée des idées fondamentales de sa philosophie du langage, sur son intimité avec les pratiques de l’art, de l’ingénierie, de l’artisanat, sur l'interprétation ou la résistance du philosophe à la culture de son temps, sur sa manière d’aborder les problèmes des limites et des définitions.
