Summary:
2012 marque le cinquantième anniversaire du premier Festival Fluxus qui se déroula à Wiesbaden, RFA. Autour de la figure tutélaire et controversée qu'était George Maciunas, des artistes d'origine et de pratique diverses essayèrent de bousculer les lignes de démarcation entre arts visuels et arts vivants, entre art et vie, entre éthique et esthétique. Le Musée d'Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole, fort des donations Vicky Rémy et François et Ninon Robelin, riches en oeuvres Fluxus, fait la tentative de rendre compte de la complexité et de la " nébulosité " d'un courant, d'un mouvement, puisant ses énergies tant dans la musique novatrice de John Cage, la philosophie Zen, le gag, que le positionnement idéologique. Fiat Flux, la nébuleuse Fluxus 1962-1978 oscille entre rigueur historique et aléas d'un parcours où se côtoient l'art du presque-rien, le document, l'installation spectaculaire ; où voisinent imprimés, films, objets et sons. Fiat Flux, la nébuleuse Fluxus 1962-1978 ne se veut pas apologétique de Fluxus. Au contraire, elle montre une diversité d'approches de la part d'artistes dont la relation avec Fluxus et son mentor se décline depuis la plus grande adhésion jusqu'à sa remise en cause conflictuelle en passant par le passage-éclair.

Price:

Summary:
Addressing the histories and speculating on the futures of radical design and art education, "Decolonising design education" looks at the role that different institutional modes play in these endeavors. Developed in a dialogue among Regina Bittner, Katja Klaus and Philipp Sack (Bauhaus Dessau Foundation) and JJ Adibrata and farid rakun (Gudskul), the publication features a selection of historical case studies, conversations and in-depth reports about education practices in formerly colonized regions, shared by 10 art and design collectives. The publication is part of the Schools of Departure series, jointly published with a digital atlas mapping experiments in art and design education beyond the Bauhaus. By studying these phenomena as manifestations of "traveling concepts," which keep a wide variety of educational approaches in a process of constant exchange and motion, the publication explores routes of appropriation that move between different geographies, times and cultures.

Summary:
Best known for her innovative choreographies that revolutionized modern dance, Trisha Brown has for many years made drawings and other works beyond the stage that integrate the performing and visual arts. Drawing has long featured prominently in her practice, shifting from a tool for schematic composition into a fully realized component of her broader investigation into the limits of her own body. Whether she is working within the frame of a sheet of paper, on the wall, or on the stage, Brown delights in the play between structure and improvisation, repetition and invention, choice and chance. This book centers on a broad survey of Brown's visual arts practice going back more than three decades. The catalogue features more than 40 drawings and includes essays by exhibition curator Peter Eleey and Walker performing arts senior curator Philip Bither as well as a specially commissioned survey of Brown's drawing vocabulary contributed by the artist.

An ode to three friends and their jubilant fusion of drawing, dance and photography In the days of downtown New York in the ’70s and ’80s, three boundary-pushing artists flourished: Keith Haring (1958–90), Muna Tseng (born 1953) and Tseng Kwong Chi (1950–90). ''Boundless minds & moving bodies'' presents an intimate visual journey through the early collaborations between these artists and friends, offering a unique and colorful prism of their expression through their respective disciplines: drawing, dance and photography, respectively. Their work and interactions reveal a shared performative energy—the joy of experimenting, openness, exchange and social engagement. Together and independently, they were immersed in and contributors to the bustling and vibrant cultural downtown scene.

Summary:
Born in New York in 1975, Taryn Simon is at the forefront of contemporary photography practice. Her artistic medium is based around three equal elements: photography, text, and graphic design, which combined investigate the limitations of absolute understanding, examining the gaps between each element and how this can lead to disorientation and ambiguity. In the last ten years she has created a suite of projects which deal with a number of theoretical and visual concerns. Her formal interest in arrangement and cataloguing has seen her experiment with different methods of presentation and display, particularly in A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters (2008-11) in which she travelled around the world researching bloodlines: splitting each work in the final piece up into three segments, she presented large portrait sequences of related individuals on the left, a text panel containing details and narratives in the centre, and 'footnote images' on the right of fragmented pieces of established narratives and other photographic evidence. Simon has also skilfully and poetically tackled aspects of the underbelly of American life. With new and re-published essays by amongst others Salman Rushdie, Homi Bhabha, Daniel Baumann, Tim Griffin, Tina Kuklieski, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Elisabeth Sussman. With an introduction by Simon Baker, Curator of Photography at Tate Modern.

Cet espace d’hospitalite´ se mate´rialise ici sous la forme discursive et polyphonique du livre, qui devient une sorte d’extension du domaine de la conversation mis en place par la pratique artistique de Provost. Conc¸u par l’artiste lui-me^me comme une plateforme d’invitations, de discussions et d’e´changes, le pre´sent ouvrage re´unit quatre essais qui forment autant de points d’entre´e dans l’œuvre.
