Philosopher and art critic Boris Groys writes about significant works and artists over the last century that have pushed his thinking in new directions. His compelling arguments do not try to replace the singular content or message of an artwork. Instead, his writings are inspired by art as a mind-changing practice--as if contemporary artists, completely secularized, can still produce a kind of conversion within the spectator.

Summary:
Il y a une longue tradition des écrits d’artistes à travers les siècles, mais dès lors que le texte s’affirme comme un complément indispensable de l’œuvre d’art, celle-ci change radicalement de statut. Elle ne se suffit plus à elle-même, sa compréhension globale par le spectateur implique de lire, avant ou en parallèle, le propos théorique qui l’accompagne. Un dispositif(...)

Elle ne se suffit plus à elle-même, sa compréhension globale par le spectateur implique de lire, avant ou en parallèle, le propos théorique qui l’accompagne. Un dispositif se met en place, qui a notamment pour effet de transformer le spectateur, et de faire éclater l’autorité des critiques et des institutions. Cette profonde mutation a lieu dans les années 1960, et se prolonge dans les décennies suivantes. Elle est ici exposée et analysée à travers trois figures majeures de l’art contemporain : Daniel Buren, Michelangelo Pistoletto et Robert Morris. Pour la première fois, le livre de Sally Bonn aborde avec empathie le statut nouveau d’un art qui intègre son explication et l’énoncé de son intention dans le dispositif même de sa livraison au public.

La singularité de ce petit ouvrage vient du fait qu’il donne à entendre des acteurs divers qui ont tous travaillé à faire entendre une voix propre – philosophes, historienne de l’art, écrivain, mais aussi anciens étudiants en école d’art ou encore directeur d’une école d’art municipale. La question de l’art et celle de ses rapports avec l’argent appartient à tout le monde : c’est un problème public, comme entendait l’affirmer Jean- Pierre Cometti, qui est à l’origine du projet. L’ouvrage revient donc sur ce lien obligé, afin de comprendre depuis quand, comment et sous quelles formes, la « valeur » argent a transformé nos façons de faire de l’art, de le regarder et d’en parler.

Summary:
Propaganda art—whether a depiction of joyous workers in the style of socialist realism or a film directed by Steve Bannon—delivers a message. But, as Jonas Staal argues in this illuminating and timely book, propaganda does not merely make a political point; it aims to construct reality itself. Political regimes have shaped our world according to their interests and ideology; today, popular mass movements push back by constructing other worlds with their own propagandas. Staal shows that propaganda is not a relic of a totalitarian past but occurs today even in liberal democracies. He considers different historical forms of propaganda art, from avant-garde to totalitarian and modernist, and he investigates the us versus them dichotomy promoted in War on Terror propaganda art—describing, among other things, a fictional scenario from the Department of Homeland Security, acted out in real time, and military training via videogame. He discusses artistic and cultural productions developed by such popular mass movements of the twenty-first century as the Occupy, activism by and in support of undocumented migrants and refugees, and struggles for liberation in such countries as Mali and Syria. Staal, both a scholar of propaganda and a self-described propaganda artist, proposes a new model of emancipatory propaganda art—one that acknowledges the relation between art and power and takes both an aesthetic and a political position in the practice of world-making.

He may be the most intellectual artist of all time; and yet, toward the end of his life, he said, "If you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual or cerebral." In this book, Jacquelynn Baas offers a new reading of Duchamp, arguing in particular that his work may have been informed by Asian "esoterism, " energetic spiritual practices that identify creative energy with the erotic impulse.
