Summary:
In the intricate wire sculptures of the German-born Venezuelan artist Gego (1912–94), lines are given new dimension, describing architectural space and engaging with the human body. Here are gathered key works from the artist’s oeuvre, from her famed entropic sculpture of the ‘70s to the works on paper created at the end of her long career. This fully illustrated publication is among the first to position Gego’s work in a global context, and features texts by curator Chus Martínez, head of the Institute of Art of the FHNW Academy of Arts and Design in Basel, Switzerland; art historian Kaira Cabañas; and Gego’s grandson, Daniel Crespin; as well as previously unpublished archival material. The book also includes "GEGO," a new poem by poet, artist and composer Anne Tardos, performing a linguistic intervention in Gego’s work.

Summary:
Ruth Asawa (1926–2013), widely known for her looped-wire sculptures, was an inveterate drawer. She filled sketchbook after sketchbook and even stated that drawing was central to her sculpture. This volume is the first to consider the significance of drawing in Asawa’s oeuvre throughout her career, featuring essays that examine the range of Asawa’s aesthetic maneuvers across materials and techniques; how Asawa’s drawing intertwined with the Bay Area arts community and her contributions to public education as a teacher and organizer; and the influence of Josef Albers’s pedagogy and Asawa’s lifelong adoption of his type of paper folding. Tracing Asawa’s artistic journey from her first formal art lessons in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II through her time at Black Mountain College and beyond, this comprehensive overview of the artist’s drawings includes reproductions of more than one hundred works—many of which have never been published—organized into eight thematic sections that cut through time, reflecting an art-making practice that was more circular or cyclical than linear.

Summary:
Philippe Parreno (born 1964) is interested more in the dynamics of how a work of art is shown to the public than in its actual production, and in his films, installations, performances and texts, he subverts the codes normally applied to exhibition spaces. By placing the construction of the exhibition at the heart of his process, the French artist redefines the exhibition(...)

Summary:
Philippe Parreno (born 1964) is interested more in the dynamics of how a work of art is shown to the public than in its actual production, and in his films, installations, performances and texts, he subverts the codes normally applied to exhibition spaces. By placing the construction of the exhibition at the heart of his process, the French artist redefines the exhibition experience as a coherent object rather than a collection of individual works. “The exhibition is conceived as a scripted space,” he writes, “like an automaton, producing different temporalities, a rhythm, an itinerary, and a duration. The visitor is guided through the spaces by the appearance and orchestration of sounds and images ... a mental choreography.” Published to accompany his 2015 exhibitions in New York and Milan, Hypnosis Hypothesis offers a rich critical overview of Parreno's work, featuring essays by Cyril Béghin, Molly Nesbit, Brian O’Doherty and Adam Thirlwell, and interviews with exhibition curators Hans Ulrich Obrist and Andrea Lissoni. The monograph provides invaluable new research on one of the most influential and charismatic figures on the contemporary art scene.

Summary:
Un manifeste collectif pour des écoles d'art féministes. Retranscrire un cycle de conférences, entretiens, workshops et groupes de discussion féministes intersectionnels dans une école d'art s'avère crucial pour partager des outils d'émancipation et bousculer les critères implicites qui structurent nos regards et nos pratiques (identification aux normes visuelles occidentales, représentations romantico-capitalistes de l'artiste-auteur·rice…). Cet ouvrage a pour premier objet de partager les contenus accueillis et produits à l'École Supérieure d'Art de Clermont Métropole entre 2017 et 2022. Il est aussi l'occasion de travailler avec un groupe d'étudiant·es, d'artistes et de chercheureuses, pour penser la manière d'élaborer collectivement des invitations mais aussi l'élaboration de l'ouvrage ; il est un outil pour un travail pédagogique collectif et idéalement horizontal au cœur d'une institution hiérarchisée et hiérarchisante.

Summary:
Une publication co-réalisée par le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) et le Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides (MAC LAU) dans le cadre de la quatrième édition du Prix en art actuel du MNBAQ. Stanley Février explore, à travers ses installations et ses sculptures, la souffrance physique et psychologique causée par les violences du monde moderne. Si ses œuvres, politiques et engagées, s’inspirent des enjeux de pouvoir à l’ère de la globalisation, elles abordent aussi des questions plus intimes, comme celles du rapport à soi et du rapport à l’autre, devenues difficiles dans un monde où l’écoute perd de sa valeur. Lauréat de la quatrième édition du Prix en art actuel du MNBAQ, l’artiste s’engage à faire œuvre utile afin de mobiliser, face à l’injustice, le citoyen ains que les acteurs civiques et institutionnels en les poussant à l’action.

Les années 1980 évoquent pour chacun les dernières années d'avant la chute du mur de Berlin, de la mondialisation et de l'explosion du web. Pour les artistes ce sont des années contradictoires, celles de la volonté de changement de la société et de l'espace public, mais aussi celles du repli sur la sphère privative et domestique. Ce livre, qui accompagne l'exposition du même nom, rassemble les textes et les images d'oeuvres les plus significatifs de cette période. Il sera suivi d'une seconde partie consacrée aux images et aux représentations.
