Summary:
In "From protest to politics," Bayard Rustin argues that the era of street protest and moral appeal must give way to organized political engagement and economic strategy. He acknowledges the achievements of desegregation and voting rights, but warns that legal reforms alone cannot dismantle the structure of racial inequality: resistance must become governance, and protest(...)

Summary:
« Est-il possible de penser la technologie et l’IA à la lueur de la création artistique? ». C’est en essayant de répondre à cette question que Louis de Diesbach nous montre comment la puissance du monde artistique éclaire les limites de la technique, et comment nous pouvons repenser notre rapport à l’intelligence artificielle. Nourri de plus de cent vingt rencontres avec des acteurs du monde de l’art – artistes, philosophes, entrepreneurs, juristes… – Louis de Diesbach utilise la création artistique comme prisme pour interroger l’IA. Il révèle une résistance singulière : face à une technologie qui standardise, l’art nous montre notre besoin de nous arracher aux logiques strictement mathématiques. Cela étant, l’auteur de ce livre rappelle qu’il reste de nombreuses questions à aborder, de l’impact environnemental à la souveraineté numérique, en passant par le droit d’auteur et l’industrialisation. Penser l’IA, c’est aussi penser ces enjeux, pour nous permettre de rejeter le strictement statistique. Une invitation à considérer la technique par ce qu’elle ne peut capturer – la fragilité, l’inattendu, le vivant.

Summary:
Between the disciplines of art history and the history of science lies a growing field of inquiry into what science and art share as both image-making and knowledge-producing activities. The contributors of Picturing Science, Producing Art occupy this intermediate zone to analyze both scientific and aesthetic representations, utilizing disciplinary perspectives that range from art history to sociology, history and philosophy of science to gender studies, cultural history to the philosophy of mind. Organized in five sites--Styles, The Body, Seeing Wonders, Objectivity/Subjectivity, and Cultures of Vision--their topics extend from Cinquecento theories of female reproduction to the technologies of cloning, from medieval depictions of the stigmata to electrical metaphors for sex, from astronomical drawings to radioencephalography, from Phoenician griffons carved in ivory to factories cast in concrete. The internationally renowned contributors go beyond both science wars and culture wars by exploring substantive links between systems of visual representation and knowledge in science and art. Contributors include Svetlana Alpers, Jonathan Crary, Arnold Davidson, Carlo Ginzburg, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and Simon Schaffer.

Summary:
From 1970 until 1987, Gilles Deleuze held a weekly seminar at the Experimental University of Vincennes and, starting in 1980, at Saint-Denis. In the spring of 1981, he began a series of eight seminars on painting and its intersections with philosophy. The recorded sessions, newly transcribed and translated into English, are now available in their entirety for the first time. Extensively annotated by philosopher David Lapoujade, On Painting illuminates Deleuze’s thinking on artistic creation, significantly extending the lines of thought in his book Francis Bacon. Through paintings and writing by Rembrandt, Delacroix, Turner, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Klee, Pollock, and Bacon, Deleuze explores the creative process, from chaos to the pictorial fact. The introduction and use of color feature prominently as Deleuze elaborates on artistic and philosophical concepts such as the diagram, modulation, code, and the digital and the analogical. Through this scrutiny, he raises a series of profound and stimulating questions for his students: How does a painter ward off grayness and attain color? What is a line without contour? Why paint at all?

Summary:
In these six essays, Mitch Speed plumbs the ambivalences that at once fuel and plague art. Written over the last fifteen years, in parallel to Speed’s work as an art critic, the essays forward ways of writing, which might be better equipped to trace art’s role in life, from personal intricacies to looming political questions. Each piece proceeds through a specific theme, for example: the art world’s relationship to socioeconomic injustice, the beguiling return of found objects to contemporary art, the devolution of art criticism into a branch of the communications industry, and how we can better understand art’s meanings, by attending closely to the words of the people who make it.

Summary:
Surrealism was not only an international artistic movement, but also a political one. Its members denounced European colonial policy, opposed fascist regimes, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, and died in war. They wrote poetry, deconstructed the language of a supposedly rational world, worked on paintings, collective drawings, took photographs, and made collages. Surrealism was associated with later emancipatory concerns not as a style, but as a method, and was taken up by the student protests of the 1960s and the Black Liberation Movement. This catalogue is published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Lenbachhaus Munich. In the form of an anthology, it presents pivotal texts and manifestoes of political Surrealism from its beginnings to current references in art and politics. It thus offers a valuable contribution to revising the still narrowly defined Surrealist canon.

Summary:
In a sweeping journey through time, bestselling author Florian Illies tells the story of Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings and their impact on subsequent generations. Many of his most beautiful paintings were burned, first in his birthplace and then in World War II; others, like the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, emerge from the mists of history a hundred years after Friedrich's death. Illies recounts the story of how Friedrich's paintings ended up at the Russian czar's court, others among a pile of winter tires in a Mafia car repair shop, and others still in the kitchen of a German social housing apartment. Adored by Hitler and Rainer Maria Rilke, despised by Stalin and by the generation of 68, this compelling narrative dances through 250 years of history as seen through Friedrich’s art and life. As a result, the man himself becomes flesh and blood before our very eyes.
