Summary:
In 1970 Robert Smithson (1938-1973), one of the most innovative and provocative artists of the twentieth century, created the landmark earthwork "Spiral Jetty" at Rozel Point on Utah's Great Salt Lake. This dramatic and highly influential work forms a coil 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide and stretches out counter-clockwise into the lake's translucent red water. Composed of black basalt rocks and earth, the sculpture comprises the materials of its location: mud, salt crystals, rocks, water. The contributors to this comprehensive publication consider the sculpture in relation to its eponymous companions - a text work and a film. These essays situate this renowned series of works alongside Smithson's critical writings, proposals, drawings, sources, and models. Amply illustrated with archival and new photographs of the Jetty and many comparative illustrations, this book makes evident why Smithson's art and writings have had such a powerful impact on art and art theory for over thirty years.

Summary:
Un philosophe spécialiste de Bergson et d’Einstein, passionné d’art contemporain (Elie During), un artiste issu du design automobile, connu pour ses projets mêlant fiction, utopie et fiction d’utopie (Alain Bublex), se rencontrent autour d’un problème commun : celui de notre rapport au futur. Mais une fois dit que le futur n’existe que sur le mode de la prévision, de la projection ou du fantasme, comment faire autrement que parler du présent – par exemple de notre incapacité présente à désirer le futur ? Ce thème de la « nostalgie du futur » a été développé par des penseurs comme Jameson sur les ruines des grands récits et des utopies du siècle, dont témoignent à leur manière les grandes expositions universelles. Il nourrit aujourd’hui des discours ambivalents sur la « rétro-manie » ou le « rétrofuturisme », un courant qui traverse toute la culture contemporaine, de la science-fiction à la musique pop en passant par l’architecture, la mode ou le design. Les auteurs de ce livre proposent du phénomène rétrofuturiste une lecture différente, en partant d’une intuition simple : le futur n’existe qu’à travers les innombrables futurs portés par les époques révolues, et notamment par notre modernité proche, qui a peut-être tenté avec plus d’intensité qu’aucune autre de prendre son avenir en main. L’histoire est décidément bien plus peuplée qu’on ne l’imagine. Les futurs du passé, non réalisés, insistent au coeur de notre temps, dessinant par leurs lignes de futurition active une multitude d’histoires parallèles. Ces futurs existent-ils moins que les autres ? Pourquoi ne pas leur conférer une dignité ontologique égale à celle des futurs du présent ? Ce serait l’occasion d’en parler, pour une fois, sans ironie ni nostalgie, du point de vue des ressources qu’ils offrent au projet artistique, mais aussi à la création philosophique.
