Summary:
How did art escape the deadlock of the Situationists' anti-art refusal? Did the relational artists, with their repetitions of Situationist slogans and techniques, outline a sustainable, micro-political alternative to Guy Debord's dream of surpassing art and realizing philosophy? Looking back at some of the Situationists' confrontations with the museum, this book traces a path beyond the tragedy of negativity and the litany of recuperation. At the center is the concept of play; originally adopted as the principle of reconciled life, it returns as the lever of instrumentalization. But in the extraterrestial wasteland of the present, spaces of ludic coexistence and experimentation may remain possible, provided that pessimism can be adequately organized.

Des cadres ? Ceux des stéréotypes et des idées reçues ? Faut-il alors, pour être plus créatif, penser en dehors de tout contexte ? Non, nous dit ici le spécialiste. En réalité, l'imagination, la créativité, a, comme la pensée rigoureuse à laquelle on l'oppose trop facilement, une logique ! Qu'il ne faut ignorer si l'on veut en faire preuve. Tout l'art consiste en fait à… concevoir de nouveaux cadres de pensée, capables de faire émerger cet instant magique de l'eurêka… Des syllogismes grecs aux brainstormings de la Silicon Valley, en passant par l'apport de la psychologie ou des travaux de Lewis Caroll et Allan Turing, Luc de Brabandère, mathématicien reconnu dans les sphères du management et de la gestion d'entreprise, nous invite ici à nous plonger dans l'histoire secrète de la « folle du logis ». Pour mieux la canaliser et en tirer parti !

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.

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.

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.
