Summary:
This illustrated catalogue explores the history and significance of the Hairy Who, a group of six Chicago artists who transformed imagery from popular culture into highly personal works of art in a variety of media. New scholarship based on documentary materials—including exhibition checklists, installation views, and artist-made ephemera—reconstructs the group's six exhibitions, held between 1966 and 1969, and offers a reassessment of the Hairy Who's idiosyncratic place within the cultural and political context of its time and place.

This book (and the exhibition it accompanies) is the first comprehensive survey of the artist's need to roam and the work that emerges from this need. Wanderlust presents the work of under-recognized yet pioneering artists alongside their well-known counterparts, and represents works that vary in process, with some artists working as solitary figures implanting themselves physically on the landscape while others perform and create movements in a collaborative manner or in public.

Summary:
This book accompanies the exhibition “Time Holds All the Answers,” at the Remai Modern- Postcommodity’s most significant museum presentation to date.

Summary:
The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line, was a system of radar stations in the northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the north coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska and the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It intended to detect incoming bombers of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and provide early warning of any sea and land invasion. Today, the Arctic is seen as a place primed for data storage and vaults––doomsday structures with a utilitarian vernacular of architecture, protecting the "knowledge" of places further south rather than recognizing the local presence and expertise of place and Indigenous lifeways and Indigenous science. This book looks at the role of artists as early warning systems and explores the ways we connect and disconnect place and people through technology and the ideas of boundaries.

Some, like the Tasmanian tiger, are considered extinct--yet sightings are still reported. Some, like the giant squid, existed only as rumors until hard evidence finally appeared. And then there are the others, who roam a shadowy realm between myth, hucksterism and science--for example, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Cryptozoology is the quest for unidentified and(...)

Summary:
Some, like the Tasmanian tiger, are considered extinct--yet sightings are still reported. Some, like the giant squid, existed only as rumors until hard evidence finally appeared. And then there are the others, who roam a shadowy realm between myth, hucksterism and science--for example, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Cryptozoology is the quest for unidentified and elusive species, and as such is often treated as a marginalized science more akin to farcical adventure. However, the subject makes for a perfectly fascinating zone of inquiry for contemporary artists interested in the fertile edges of the history of science and museums, taxonomy, myth, spectacle and fraud. Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale mines the theoretical and design terrains of the twenty-first-century graphic novel and the medieval curio cabinet or Wunderkammer, exploring cryptozoology in art and popular culture. Originally exhibited at Maine's Bates College Museum of Art, it begins with Mark Dion's installation of a bureaucratic government agency, the Federal Wildlife Commission's Department of Cryptozoology, Bureau for the Investigation of Paranormal Phenomena and National Institute of Comparative Astrobiology, and features drawings, paintings, dioramas, taxidermy and performative photos by artists Rachel Berwick, Sarina Brewer, Walmor Correa, Ellen Lesperance, Robert Marbury, Jill Miller, Vic Muniz, Jeanine Oleson, Rosamond Purcell, Alexis Rockman, Marc Swanson, Jeffrey Vallance and Jamie Wyeth.

Summary:
Comment les images produites dans les années 1980 ont-elles transformé notre histoire culturelle?? En quoi ont-elles contribué à façonner la pensée du XXIe siècle?? Pour souligner son 40e anniversaire, VOX a présenté une manifestation artistique qui, en phase avec sa mission de soutenir la recherche et la diffusion des pratiques de l’image, revisitait une période ayant marqué son histoire et celle du Québec. L’exposition a réuni près d’une quarantaine d’œuvres photographiques et vidéographiques et de référents visuels emblématiques de cette époque. La présente publication comporte quant à elle les essais, les entretiens et les interventions artistiques d’une quinzaine de chercheur·euses et artistes qui examinent l’impact des années 1980 sur le monde actuel. Leurs contributions issues de champs variés – politique, littérature, études sur la nuit, la mode, l’environnement, les transformations technologiques, l’écosystème de l’art, la condition des artistes, l’histoire des expositions – offre une lecture transversale et stimulante de cette période complexe. Une décennie dont les résonances critiques et créatives continuent de modeler notre présent.

Summary:
L'ouvrage, qui paraît à l'occasion de l'exposition éponyme organisée à la fois au Collège des Bernardins et aux Grandes-Serres de Pantin en 2022, n'est ni un catalogue d'exposition ni un recueil de textes académiques exhaustif, mais une proposition hybride pour qui s'intéresse aux nouvelles formes de spiritualité et aux nouvelles formes tout court, qu'elles soient du vêtement, de la vidéo, de l'installation, des objets ou des corps. Il donne à percevoir l'état de ce sujet à un moment T et témoigne d'une génération d'artistes qui n'envisage plus l'effondrisme comme une fatalité mais comme un lien pour penser la fin d'un monde. Et qui, pour construire le suivant, revendique de « cosmiser » la pensée et la terre et dessiner un nouvel horizon aux nouvelles formes de solidarité.
