Summary:
This thought-provoking volume offers a critical reevaluation of the term foreclosure: it can refer not only to a forced eviction but also to processes of exclusion - a shutting down of recognition, reflection, and debate. Through work in photography, film, video, installation, and performance, the seven artists represented in this volume (Kamal Aljafari, Yto Barrada, Tania Bruguera, Claude Closky, Harun Farocki, Allan Sekula, and David Shrigley) investigate the expanded meaning of foreclosure by reexamining the systems that have produced crises, instead of focusing on the aftermath. Four essays from a team of international curators discuss foreclosure as both a generative concept and a curatorial strategy, allowing the text itself to become a platform for critique.

Summary:
112 Greene Street was one of New York’s first alternative, artist-run venues. Started in October 1970 by Jeffrey Lew, Gordon Matta-Clark and Alan Saret, among others, the building became a focal point for a young generation of artists seeking a substitute for New York’s established gallery circuit, and provided the stage for a singular moment of artistic invention and freedom that was at its peak between 1970 and 1974. This volume is the culmination of David Zwirner’s January 2011 exhibition of the same name, gathering a number of works exhibited at 112 Greene Street (by Matta-Clark, Vito Acconci, Tina Girouard, Suzanne Harris, Jene Highstein, Larry Miller, Alan Saret and Richard Serra among others), alongside extensive interviews with many of the artists involved, a timeline of the early years at 112 Greene Street and installation views of the 2011 exhibition.

LE SILENCE Une fiction gathers a corpus of contemporary works by 25 artists, ranging from Arman’s Accumulations to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s photographs, and together they present a world that is both strange and familiar, what curator Simone Menegoi refers to as “the story of a planet that has become uninhabitable for reasons unknown….” Part scientific experiment, part fictional narrative, the effect of these traces that our civilisation leaves behind is one of a reversal of history, as if the works between the pages, artifacts of our contemporary era, are being observed through the eyes of an archaeologist or anthropologist from the future.

Summary:
Les notions de "deep learning", de "machine learning" définissent aujourd'hui l'intelligence artificielle comme un nouveau paradigme établi aussi bien dans le domaine industriel, économique, militaire ou sociopolitique, que dans nos vies quotidiennes au travers d'innombrables applications, la reconnaissance faciale en étant la plus démonstrative. Il semblait donc primordial de redéfinir les sources historiques d'un développement continu des recherches sur la simulation de l'intelligence humaine depuis l'après-guerre et d'une interaction permanente avec les domaines de la recherche et de la création. C'est l'objet de l'exposition du Centre Pompidou et de cet ouvrage qui l'accompagne. Fruit d'une investigation progressive de la neurophysiologie, mais aussi de la cybernétique, le réseau neuronal s'est imposé comme l'archétype d'une définition de l'intelligence. La création de réseaux de neurones artificiels, base des simulations informatiques et d'intelligences artificielles défiant l'humain, jusqu'au projet de modélisation d'un cerveau artificiel, aura imposé des modèles algorithmiques souvent conçus comme des dispositifs de normalisation. Artistes, architectes, ingénieurs ou scientifiques s'emparent aujourd'hui de ces modèles pour introduire des variations, des mutations, qui enrichissent l'innovation et la prospective et confortent une distance critique et morale face à leurs usages économiques et politiques.

Summary:
Over the last twenty years an increasing number of artists have turned to expressing themselves through postcards. Whether by way of installation, collage, addition to, or alteration of existing postcards, or the production of postcards themselves, many prominent artists employ the medium in some form. Artists' Postcards traces the origin of artists' fascination with postcards from the early 1900s but with a focus on the contemporary, revealing the significant number of artists who have made creative and unusual artworks in postcard form. With 400 images of postcards created by many well-known artists, Artists' Postcards is the first critical guide to the subject. From surrealists to Fluxus and conceptual artists, this book includes an array of historical and contemporary postcards by such artists as George Grosz, Bruce Nauman, Richard Long, David Hockney, Richard Hamilton, Susan Hiller, Joseph Beuys, Ben Vautier, Dieter Roth, Ray Johnson, Gordon Matta-Clark, Gavin Turk, Tacita Dean, Gilbert and George and Rachel Whiteread. This book will be of interest to artists and graphic designers, as well as to postcard collectors.

Summary:
This catalogue of a travelling exhibition (Hannover, Basel, Frankfurt am Main) demonstrates that artists are able, past all doctrines of growth, to bring forth an artistic treatment of the concept of growth. They indicate lines of connection and dependencies which seem strange to us. Among these are the splendid Venetian Murano glass with which Tue Greenfort illustrates the growth of algae in the Adriatic, the ludicrous flooding of a McDonald’s restaurant, by means of which the Danish artist’s group Superflex alludes to the threatening growth in sea levels. Also works by Dirk Fleischmann, Sylvie Fleury, Mika Rottenberg, Julika Rudelius, Lois Weinberger, Franck Scurti, Dan Peterman and many others.
