An immediate response would be that contemporary art is an art of the present, that it somehow addresses and expresses the present. But what is this present? What constitutes the present present or the contemporary contemporary? This first book in the Contemporary Condition series introduces some of the key issues concerning contemporaneity as a defining condition of our historical present. It thus acts as an extended preface to the series as a whole, calling for a rethinking of the deep structures of temporalization that render our present the way it is.

Can we speak of composition when we are in a state of unfathomable decomposition? Art being made today defies coherent categorization, and the world presents itself, day after day, as spinning into confused chaos, structural disintegration, and violent disorder. Revising his well-known histories of contemporary art, Terry Smith argues that we must respond to the compelling need for coeval composition at a time defined by the contemporaneity of divisive difference. This book traces how—despite many obstacles—visual artists across the globe are rising to this challenge.

Summary:
Exploring the interaction between art and the public in Canadian cities, Urban Encounters features writing by artists, architects, curators, anthropologists, geographers, and urban studies specialists. They show how people and places affect the structure and content of public artworks, what kinds of urban spaces and socialities are generated through art, and how to investigate and interpret encounters between art and its viewers in the city. Discussing a variety of art forms, including mobile cinemas, street improvisation, audiovisual investigations, and assembled objects, the contributors treat public artworks not just as aesthetic installations, but as agents that participate in the social and cultural evolution of cities. Using original, hands-on approaches, Urban Encounters reveals how art in the urban public space generates encounters that can transform both the city itself and the ways that people relate to it.

Apparue dans le contexte des années 50 et 60, l'œuvre de Debord s'est efforcée d'achever le projet à la fois artistique, éthique et politique porté par le dadaïsme et le surréalisme dans la première moitié du XXe siècle?: jusqu'à affirmer la nécessité pour l'art de se supprimer en tant que tel, pour mieux se réaliser dans la vie et comme vie. Les différents articles qui composent ce recueil entendent revenir sur quelques-unes des principales expériences, ou quelques-uns des principaux concepts mis en jeu pour cela?: situations, dérives, détournements. On les examinera dans leur systématicité, leur complexité voire leur ambiguïté?; on s'interrogera sur leur devenir, après le reflux y compris des mouvements révolutionnaires dans les années 70, ainsi que sur celui du programme de dépassement de l'art dont ils procédèrent. Comme autant de manières d'en questionner l'intérêt aujourd'hui encore, pour penser et agir un projet émancipateur.
