Summary:
The world today faces overwhelming ecological and social problems and the concern for material existence on earth is more pressing than ever. This book spells out various roles that visual artists and designers play facing these issues. Collective action is necessary and inevitable. This approach often changes the artist’s identity and working habits: from individuality and autonomy to collectivity and collaboration, both locally and globally. These developments have given rise to new kinds of collective art and design practices: artists work together with non-artists, make products for their local environment and take on multiple identities, such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker or business consultant. This volume looks at art practices across all continents that do not conform to a Western concept of art nor to traditional distinctions between art, design, research and activism—where the boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or are dissolved.

Summary:

Does the influence of machine intelligence, and the coincident avoidance of risk, homogenize creative thought? These ideas are explored in the work of 38 established and emerging artists in a(...)

Summary:
Réalisé par une cinquantaine d'artistes ou de chercheurs et de chercheures en arts (danse, cinéma, musique et arts sonores, arts plastiques, théâtre, arts numériques, littérature, photographie, performance), et coordonné par un collectif de l'Université Paris 8, ce livre souhaite contribuer au tournant écologique des arts. La notion d'écologie est ici entendue au sens large (dans une perspective guattarienne), et intègre à la perspective environnementale celles des écologies mentale et sociale : les pratiques artistiques se font écosophiques dès lors qu'elles interrogent la notion même d'esthétique, à la croisée de l'aisthétis (le sensible), de l'éthique et du politique. Respectueux de la multiplicité et de la complexité du monde, l'ouvrage est organisé sous la forme d'un abécédaire qui fait état du foisonnement des pratiques artistiques contemporaines en prise avec les enjeux écologiques. Sa forme en est également le reflet, chaque notice assumant sa singularité, du discours académique à des formes d'écritures engagées.

Summary:
In the summer of 1970, the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounted the now legendary exhibition 'Information', one of the first surveys of conceptual art. Conceived by MoMA’s curator Kynaston McShine as an 'international report' on contemporary trends, the show and attendant catalog together assembled the work of more than 150 artists from 15 countries to explore the parameters and possibilities of the emerging art practices of the era. This facsimile edition of the original 'Information' catalog, which has long been out of print, invites reengagement with MoMA’s landmark exhibition while illuminating the early history of conceptual art.

Summary:
''Truth to Nature,'' a rallying cry for those artists and critics aiming to reform art-making practices in Great Britain over the course of the nineteenth century, bound together artists as diverse as Pre-Raphaelite John Everett Millais, photographer P. H. Emerson, and bohemian modernist Augustus John. In order to understand ''truth,'' these artists turned to the rising disciplines of science, which offered new insights into physical phenomena, vision, and perception. Drawing on sources ranging from artists' letters to scientific treatises, ''Nature's Truth'' illuminates the dynamic relationship between art and science throughout the nineteenth century. Helmreich's study shows that this relatively short-lived movement had a profound effect on modern British art and changed conceptions of truth and the role of art in modern society.
