Summary:
Part flight of fancy, part Star Trek set, part seemingly drug-induced delusion, Globus Cassus is a solution to a global dilemma, which remains the same size while housing an ever-increasing global population. The catalyst for the project as described by its creator, artist Christian Waldvogel: "The rapidly increasing population notice that their planet will soon be too small. The Earth is dismantled to provide building material. This is taken away to create Globus Cassus, a new, much bigger habitat, thought out from scratch." And so begins the story of converting the Earth into a gigantic hollow structure. The project, precisely worked out and described in detail, breaks through the bounds of architecture to continue the story of our great contemporary Utopias. Globus Cassus is the core of the Swiss contribution to the 9th Architecture Biennale in Venice, and this book examines the novel project through a series of drawings, diagrams, and photographs of three-dimensional models.

Summary:
Determined to recover the value of aesthetic experience for artistic, cultural, and social analysis, the contributors to this volume-prominent scholars in literature, philosophy, art history, architecture, history, and anthropology-begin from a shared recognition that ideological readings of the aesthetic have provided invaluable insights, in particular, that analyses of aesthetics within historical and social contexts tell us a great deal about the experience of aesthetic encounters. From multiple and complementary perspectives, the contributors address topics as varied as Nabokov and Dickens, Caravaggio and Shelley Winters, gender and sexuality, advertising and AIDS. Taken together, their essays constitute a sustained and multifarious effort to resituate aesthetic pleasure in the mixed, impure conditions characteristic of every social practice and experience, however privileged or marginalized, and to ask what happens to the aesthetic if we consider it apart from-or at least in tension with-its historically dominant discursive formulations. Contributors : Leo Bersani, Susan Bordo, Bill Brown, Beatriz Colomina, Ulysse Dutoit, Lee Edelman, Maureen Harkin, Howard Horwitz, Audrey Jaffe, Martin Jay, Kay Bea Jones, Robert Kaufman, Alphonso Lingis, Joseph Litvak, Douglas Mao, Barbara Stafford, Kathleen Stewart, Kathryn Bond Stockton, Judith Stoddart, Michael Taussig.

Summary:
A l'heure où les technologies numériques tendent à contrôler de plus en plus étroitement la sphère de la communication et de l'art dans le monde, et bouleversent nos relations avec les images, Edmond Couchot dévoile ici les articulations cachées qui lient ces dernières aux machines, mais aussi au temps. Toute image sécrète une temporalité qui lui est propre et ne livre son sens que si le regardeur la partage. A partir de ce constat, l'auteur décrit l'évolution des images et de la temporalité qui les caractérise, de l'icône médiévale à l'image numérique, lorsque leur production, après avoir requis la main des peintres, mobilise des machines de plus en plus complexes et autonomes. Edmond Couchot souligne en particulier les changements radicaux que nous vivons actuellement avec l'émergence d'une nouvelle temporalité imposée par les machines numériques (ordinateurs, réseaux mondiaux de communication, jeux électroniques ou dispositifs artistiques). Une temporalité qui affecte profondément nos comportements quotidiens et les fondements mêmes de notre culture. Toute notre manière de vivre et de concevoir le temps est à réinventer.

Occult practices, seances and magic have traditionally been met with suspicion in the world of high culture, but they are currently getting a fresh look. Turns out, they have long had a quiet influence on art--at least since the mid-1800s. The Message demonstrates this fascinating history with paranormal-influenced paintings, drawings and thought photographs, a term for the phenomenon of imprinting an image from one's mind directly onto a photographic medium--something we've all at least wished we could do... By the early eighteenth century, the occult had found a home in the arts with the advent of Surrealism--in 1933, Andre Breton discussed these inexplicable phenomena in his text, The Automatic Message. This publication borrows its name from Breton's text; and features early-twentieth-century photographs of seances from the archive of parapsychologist Albert von Schrenck-Notzing, which vividly illustrate Breton's ideas

Summary:
The Frankfurt am Main Staedelschule, and its gallery Portikus, form a leading international center for experimental contemporary art. The Staedelschule was founded in 1817 by Johann Friedrich Staedel for the purpose of introducing students to his prodigous art collection. This publication is authored by contemporary Staedelschule professors and visiting lecturers, including Pamela Lee, Niklas Maak, Jan Verwoert and Okwui Enwezor, who discuss what teaching art means in the context of a contemporary academy, and at what point the art market should be introduced in a student's education. It serves as an example of the kind of discourse available to Staedelschule students, as there is always in residence an impressive international cast of artworld practitioners. This volume is not only functional, however; it also includes a series of new photographs, produced especially for this project, by Wolfgang Tillmans.

This is not only due to government surveillance, but increasingly because our ways of communicating (via camera phones, e-mail, etc.) make it difficult for us to control who has access to information about us. The New Normal features works made between 2001 and 2008 that draw on private information - ranging from home videos to financial data - for their raw material and subject matter. These works, and the catalogue essays, shed light on the new circumstances created by our highly technological society, in which private information has never been less private.
