Summary:
Jeffrey L. Kosky focuses on a handful of artists — Walter De Maria, Diller + Scofidio, James Turrell, and Andy Goldworthy to show how they introduce spaces hospitable to mystery and wonder, redemption and revelation, and transcendence and creation. What might be thought of as religious longings, he argues, are crucial aspects of enchanting secularity when developed(...)

Summary:
Jeffrey L. Kosky focuses on a handful of artists — Walter De Maria, Diller + Scofidio, James Turrell, and Andy Goldworthy to show how they introduce spaces hospitable to mystery and wonder, redemption and revelation, and transcendence and creation. What might be thought of as religious longings, he argues, are crucial aspects of enchanting secularity when developed through encounters with these works of art. Developing a model of religion that might be significant to secular culture, Kosky shows how this model can be employed to deepen interpretation of the art we usually view as representing secular modernity.

Summary:
Gerhard Richter’s ongoing, encyclopedic Atlas project began in 1964, and now comprises more than 5,000 gridded photographs, diagrams, drawings and sketches. As an image archive, work tool and artist’s book, Atlas sits at the very heart of Richter’s practice, offering a massive summation of his masterful explorations of the tensions between photography and painting, history and memory, perception and representation. As a publication, Atlas has gone through numerous editions, each new volume expanding on the previous with elaborations of persistent themes. This book provides a critical tool for navigating Atlas, bringing together Richter’s own writings alongside commentaries by the art historians and curators Armin Zweite, Jean-François Chevrier, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Lynne Cooke and Helmut Friedel. Originally published in 2003 to coincide with the Whitechapel Gallery’s exhibition Gerhard Richter: Atlas, this updated edition also includes a review of the exhibition by Adrian Searle.

Summary:
A fog of information and images has flooded the world: from advertising, television, radio, and film to the information glut produced by the new economy. With the rise of social networking, even our contemporaries, peers, and friends are all suddenly selling us the ultimate product: themselves. Here curator and critic Nato Thompson interrogates the implications of these developments for those dedicated to socially engaged art and activism. How can anyone find a voice and make change when the world is flooded with images and information? And what is one to make of the endless machine of consumer capitalism, which has appropriated much from the history of art and, in recent years, the methods of grassroots political organizing and social networking?

Grâce à une mise en lumière qui croise systématiquement les éléments biographiques, historiques, philosophiques, littéraires ou encore politiques, Walter Benjamin, auteur difficile, s'offre ici sous un jour accessible qui par ailleurs ne cède en rien quant à " l'acuité des tensions qu'il a choisi de laisser vivre dans son oeuvre ". Si de l'adversité sans cesse combattue Walter Benjamin fit des armes, c'est donc à en comprendre le maniement comme la portée, à en transmettre l'acuité théorique et critique que nous invite Jean-Michel Palmier.

À cette double question, certains artistes et activistes répondent d'un pas de côté : en dehors des disciplines instituées et des routines protestataires, ils inventent des manières d'agir et de créer qui se nouent à l'articulation de la vie, de la performance, de la fête et du jeu.

De même que le queer pose l'existence d'un troisième genre par delà féminin et masculin, de même l'artivisme suggère qu'il existe un troisième terme entre esthétique et politique. C'est l'art festif des collectifs décidés à réenchanter la vie, l'utopie des squats et des zones d'autonomie temporaire, la fronde libertaire des hackers et artistes du Net. Ce sont les détournements du Critical Art Ensemble, de Banksy et du Billboard Liberation Front, les sabotages joyeux de la guérilla pâtissière et des Yes Men, les infiltrations de JR, les performances de Steven Cohen ou Oreet Ashery, les prêches de Reverend Billy... Toutes ces pratiques, dont l'enjeu est d'opposer l'imagination et la créativité à l'ennui, la liberté d'action à la surveillance généralisée, la révolte collective au repli individuel, s'inscrivent dans une galaxie sans frontières...

Summary:
Jeff Wall's Picture for Women (1979) marks the transition of photography as an art form from the printed page to the gallery wall. Before this, photographs--from the orthodox photographic work of Walker Evans to the Conceptual photography of Dan Graham--seemed intended for the page even when hung in a gallery. In Picture for Women, a woman looks outward, as if at the viewer; a camera occupies the center of the photograph; the photographer stands on the right. Modeled on Manet's famous painting Un bar aux Folies-Bergere, in which a barmaid seems to look directly out of the painting, observed by a man on the right, Picture for Women establishes its own art historical genealogy, claiming its rightful position within the canon. Wall's photograph is an ambitious attempt to relate the artistic and spectatorial demands of the late 1970s to a modernist pictorial art that had been too hastily rejected by Conceptualism. In this illustrated study, David Campany offers an account of Wall's move from a Conceptual approach to a reengagement with the idea of a singular (as opposed to serial) picture. He shows that Wall's decision to present his work as a large-scale back-lit transparency, together with his commitment to a singular image, amounted to a radical departure. He contrasts Wall's idea of the photograph as a tableau or "picture," inherited from the history of painting, with the works of the "Pictures Generation" - including Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Jack Goldstein - and argues that Picture for Women is inseparable from the modern fate of the picture in general.
