Summary:
Based on an exhibition of the same title, this book focus on self-confident, non-conformist feminist positions, and points out that new role models and strategies are being requested. In her essay, Amelia Jones contests the notion of a current post-feminism and, using the example of Pipilotti Rist's works, develops a model of parafeminism. Refering to Mary Beth Edelson and Annie Sprinkle, Maria Elena Buszek compares two generations and their respective strategies, and Katy Deepwell questions the role of female artists within art history. Mercedes Bunz looks at femininism in relation to flexibilized capitalism and diagnoses a new form of oppression. The exhibition's curator, Heike Munder, presents a survey of the exhibition's different positions and makes an appeal for new role models. With contributions by artists such as Anat Ben-David, Patty Chang, Mary Beth Edelson, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Manon, Yoko Ono, Pipilotti Rist, Katharina Sieverding, Annie Sprinkle, and Mathilde ter Heijne. Published with the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich.

Can artistic innovation still function as a source of critique? How do artists, theorists, and art organizations deal with the changing role of and discourse on innovation? Should we look for alternative ways to innovate, or should we change our discourse and look for other (new!) ways to talk about the new?

Summary:
Based in New York City, Amy Sillman (born 1955) is an artist whose work consistently combines the visceral with the intellectual. 'Faux pas' aims at revealing the coherence and originality of Sillman’s reflection, as she addresses the possibilities of art today, favoring excess over good taste, wrestling over dandyism, forms over symbols, with as much critical sense as humor.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage, qui s’articule principalement autour de l’idée de mobilité, accompagne l’exposition Helen McNicoll. Un voyage impressionniste, présentée au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. C’est en effet par la mobilité, à la fois l’amour du voyage et la découverte de nouveaux espaces, que se distingue Helen McNicoll et ce, à une époque où les femmes issues de milieux aisés sont le plus souvent confinées à la domesticité. Privilégiant la peinture en plein air et les recherches sur les effets de lumière et d’atmosphère, effets nourris par ses nombreux voyages, elle a pour sujets de prédilection les scènes de la vie quotidienne, bien qu’elle parvienne à en donner une interprétation distincte des impressionnistes en ce qu’elle est centrée davantage sur le labeur féminin.

Summary:
The murals, computer images, paper works, drawings and objects of Berlin-based Michael Hakimi are combined in site-specific installations to form intricate networks of meaning. Hakimi expands the function of his formally reduced, two-dimensional images by means of his interventions, emphasizing the semantic divide between object and sign. The artist examines the narrative potential of symbols and basic geometric shapes through the collagelike interaction of his works with readymades of the simplest materials. His installation "Large Oven" (2004), for example, realized for the Kunstverein Hamburg, and the spatial project "Roof" (2007), produced for the Kunsthalle Basel, both of which are comprehensively documented for the first time in the present publication, create walk-in scenarios reflecting social, political and urban realities. Beyond these works, this retrospective monograph presents all of Hakimi's work since 2002.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage accompagne l’exposition consacrée à Dennis Oppenheim au Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole. Le Musée de Saint-Etienne s’intéresse au travail de cet artiste américain, né en 1938, depuis son ouverture. Alors que l’exposition se préparait en lien direct et régulier avec l’artiste, l’équipe du Musée a brutalement appris sa disparition (janvier 2011). L’artiste avait déjà pensé l’exposition: cinq installations dans quatre lieux différents du Musée. Chaque lieu convoquerait des univers spécifiques: celui du corps et du mimétisme ironique de la vie avec Theme for a Major Hit (1974) et Table Piece (1975); celui de la transformation jusqu’à la disparition dans le couloir (lieu de transition) avec Aging (1974); celui dela sculpture urbaine, décorative et exubérante avec les Splash Buildings (2009), et enfin celui du jeu entre l’architecture etla sculpture avec les installations des Smokestack Buildings with Frozen Fireworks (2009) et Black (2007). Cette publication accompagne l’exposition mais se veut plus qu’un simple catalogue. Elle offre l’occasion de parcourir les trente dernières années de création de ce fabuleux constructeur de formes et de mécanismes, de ce singulier artiste qui échappe à toute forme de classification ou de système. Outre une riche et précieuse iconographie sur son travail (environ 80 illustrations, sélectionnées en collaboration avec l’épouse de l’artiste), le volume présente un texte émouvant du directeur du Musée et ami de l’artiste, Lóránd Hegyi, et un essai du critique Alberto Fiz.
