Summary:
For more than half a century, the artist Luis Camnitzer has been concerned with the same things. In 1960, as an art student in Uruguay, he was part of a collective of artists, students, and educators who reformed the School of Fine Arts in Montevideo. Today, this same ''ethical anarchist'' is still preoccupied with the role of education in redistributing power in society. With mischevious wit and wisdom, Camnitzer summons an inherent utopianism in egalitarian, participatory models of art education to identify how meaning is made. This anthology of writings, many published for the first time, gather a life's work in art, education, and activism.

Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, we live in a time of globalization and free trade. Nevertheless, seventy new border walls have been built in this period—put together, they would cover the total circumference of the Earth. While governments offer manifold justifications for building these separation barriers, they invariably attract the attention of(...)

Summary:
Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, we live in a time of globalization and free trade. Nevertheless, seventy new border walls have been built in this period—put together, they would cover the total circumference of the Earth. While governments offer manifold justifications for building these separation barriers, they invariably attract the attention of artists. Is it merely the lure of transgression, however, that attracts them—or is there a deeper significance in the artistic encounter with border walls? And which artistic strategies do these artists employ to approach them? In order to address these questions, Elisa Ganivet revisits the history of border wall aesthetics and compares more recent border-related works by 100 artists, including Joseph Beuys (Berlin), Banksy (Israel-Palestine), and Frida Kahlo (Mexico-US). Through art and thus beyond art, we understand the flaws and shortcomings of supposedly well-oiled systems.

Summary:
Au cours des dernières décennies, les politiques culturelles de l’État et des collectivités territoriales ont connu une forte montée en puissance financière et institutionnelle, stimulée par le volontarisme du ministère de la Culture comme par l’attrait croissant des thèmes de l’art et de la culture auprès des collectivités territoriales. Pierre Moulinier met à plat les objectifs poursuivis par les pouvoirs publics en la matière et montre le chemin parcouru par les autorités. Il s’interroge également sur les résultats obtenus, bien que l’évaluation en soit difficile. L’auteur plaide enfin pour une continuité du soutien public et une clarification des compétences.

Comment s'enracine-t-il dans les contextes artistique et sociopolitique tout en dévoilant certaines de leurs facettes ? Comment s'articule-t-il au pôle censure - liberté d'expression ? Comment l'analyse rétrospective de celui-ci est-elle elle-même ancrée dans des choix théoriques et des sensibilités éthiques et politiques qui peuvent en redéfinir les contours ? C'est ce à quoi réfléchissent les chercheurs et chercheures dans une quinzaine d'études de cas aussi divers que l'oeuvre de Brancusi Princesse X, le Mémorial lyonnais du génocide des Arméniens, Les fées ont soif de Denise Boucher, Des femmes de Wajdi Mouawad, Sur le concept du visage du fils de Dieu de Romeo Castellucci, le Carnaval des vagins à dents, etc. Qu'est-ce qui fait scandale ? Qui sont les acteurset actrices du scandale ? Quelles sont les définitions du scandale ? Que peut le scandale ?

Summary:
How do the arts contribute to the formation of democratic processes? How does culture constitute public space and a civil domain? ''The art of civil action'' argues that cultural initiatives play an underappreciated but crucial role in unlocking dormant democratic potential in our societies. Arts and culture can be a cornerstone of the civil domain, and an anchor as communities reconcile their local and global identities and roles. ''The art of civil action'' considers how to establish a sustainable, transnational civil space, and what role culture and the arts can play in this process, through a colourful mix of case studies on citizen-led cultural initiatives from Europe and around the world. Social scientists, cultural theorists, activists and artists contribute conceptual perspectives on how the arts and culture can help build a locally rooted civil society in a globally connected context.

Summary:
'The Salon of 1846' expands upon the tenets of romanticism as Baudelaire methodically takes his reader through paintings by Delacroix and Ingres, illuminating his belief that the pursuit of the ideal must be paramount in artistic expression. Here we also see Baudelaire caught in a fundamental struggle with the urban commodity of capitalism developing in Paris at that time. Baudelaire’s text proves to be a useful lens for understanding art criticism in mid-nineteenth-century France, as well as the changing opinions regarding the essential nature of romanticism and the artist as creative genius.

Summary:
A draftsman, printmaker, architect, and archaeologist, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–78) is best known today as the virtuoso etcher of the immersive and captivating ''Views of Rome'' and the darkly inventive ''Imaginary Prisons.'' Yet Carolyn Yerkes and Heather Hyde Minor argue that his single greatest art form- one that combined his obsessions most powerfully and that he pursued throughout his career- was the book. ''Piranesi unbound'' provides a fundamental reinterpretation of Piranesi by recognizing him, first and foremost, as a writer, illustrator, printer, and publisher of books. Featuring nearly two hundred of Piranesi’s engravings and drawings, including some that have never been published before, this visually stunning book returns Piranesi’s artworks to the context for which he originally produced them: a dozen volumes that combine text and image, archaeology and imagination, erudition and humor. Drawing on new research, ''Piranesi unbound'' uncovers the social networks in which Piranesi published, including the readers who bought, read, and debated his books. It reveals his habit of raiding the wastepaper pile for cast-off sheets upon which to draw and fuse printed images and texts. It shows how, even after his books were bound, they were subject to change by Piranesi and others as pages were torn out and added.
