Summary:
As the American environmental movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, ecological perspectives also emerged in art. But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials. Created in a range of media, they reflected a widespread reconceptualization of the(...)

Summary:
As the American environmental movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, ecological perspectives also emerged in art. But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials. Created in a range of media, they reflected a widespread reconceptualization of the material world and a sense of the interconnectedness of all things. In this book, James Nisbet investigates the many levels of intersection between ecology and art in the 1960s and 1970s, examining a series of works that served as sensory interfaces to ecological concepts and reflected the shifting notions of ecology during the period.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage, écrit par un économiste, s’ouvre sur une anecdote se rapportant à l’une des œuvres de Damien Hirst, un des grands noms de l’art contemporain qui domine la scène artistique britannique depuis les années 1990. Plusieurs de ses créations (dont L’impossibilité physique de la mort dans un esprit vivant, à savoir un requin tigre conservé dans du formol et présenté dans un aquarium) ont atteint des sommes record sur le marché de l’art. À partir de cet élément, Don Thompson déroule une étude détaillée, précise et largement accessible du marché de l’art, de ses lois économiques et psychologiques, de ses acteurs (artistes, galeristes, collectionneurs, musées, grandes maisons de vente aux enchères). Ce livre s’adresse à toute personne qui s’intéresse à l’art contemporain. Don Thompson est professeur d’économie. Il a notamment enseigné à l’université de Harvard, à la London School of Economics et à l’université de Toronto.

Summary:
Qu’y a-t-il de commun entre les Amish, les Ranters et Barbe Noire ? Entre les hippies, les beatniks et les communards du XIXe ? Entre les indignés, les hackers, ces nouveaux pirates de la cyberculture, et Prométhée ? C’est ce que cet ouvrage se propose de vous expliquer. Contre-culture(s) dépeint une histoire originale des dissidences à partir des années deux mille et en remontant jusqu’à l’antiquité grecque, au seuil de notre civilisation judéo-chrétienne. Si le terme de « contre-culture » a été théorisé dans un cadre très précis, la contestation tous azimuts des turbulentes années soixante, l’auteur a voulu remonter le temps pour écouter les voix dissidentes qui se sont fait entendre, fouiller les microsociétés qui ont tenté de se pérenniser en marge de l’ordre établi. Vaste panorama historique des tentatives de rébellion et de réalisation d’utopies, Contre-culture(s), des Anonymous à Prométhée permet de remonter la riche lignée de la logique contestataire, d’en dresser une sorte de généalogie, de rétablir la voix des vaincus. C’est un peu une histoire populaire de la contestation, à rebours de l’ordre chronologique et des canons établis
