Summary:
Les sept auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage ont conservé cette alliance originelle pour faire cohabiter les deux ordres du rationnel et du poétique. Leurs créations, récemment découvertes ou retrouvées à Bali, au Brésil, au Bénin, en Inde, dans le Grand Nord arctique, en Sicile et en Allemagne, montrent un Art Brut cosmopolite, métissé de poésie. Certains cultivent des liens sensibles avec la nature et te cosmos, se mettant à leur écoute attentive, à la manière d'un archer zen. Ces auteurs de divers pays et continents montrent une disponibilité particulière, une sorte d'état exploratoire où la raison se relâche, grâce à laquelle ils se dégagent de la réalité. Ainsi, des guirlandes de visages enchantent les nuits de Ni Tanjung, des peintures tatouent les murs de la ville grâce à Giovanni Bosco, des machines à voler ou à coudre peuplent l'univers de Gustav Mesmer ainsi que celui d'Ezekiel Messou. Ailleurs, divinités et esprits surgissent de l'ombre sous les doigts de Kashinath Chawan et d'Anarqâq. Cet ouvrage contient un DVD avec six films documentaires qui permettent de découvrir les artistes sur leur lieu de vie et de création.

This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of the same name, on view at the Art Gallery of Hamilton through summer and fall 2015, curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. The show takes the viewer on a journey through which affect, evocation, empathy, synesthesia, the unconscious and sensual perception live together, providing a context for both reflection and engagement. Beyond the physical presence of the artworks, the exhibition explores subtle themes such as transcendence, and the ways in which an artwork can be both immanent and starkly present, while engaging with conceptual or political undercurrents. Contributors include Melissa Bennett, Jennifer Fisher and Jim Drobnick, and Gabrielle Moser.

Summary:
Artists have utilized walking as an autonomous form of art, a subject in their work, and as social practice since the early 20th century. Today walking continues to offer a salient means for artists to challenge social, political, and economic orders through a radical remapping of civic space. In this book, Lexi Lee Sullivan traces the history of walking as an aesthetic action from the Dadaists to contemporary ramblers. Titled after Michelangelo Pistoletto’s performance Walking Sculpture, the catalogue features 50 color illustrations ranging from photographs of Yvonne Rainer’s street actions to Francis Alÿs’s fantastical processions, poems by Cole Swensen, and a new project by artist Helen Mirra, who produces poetic meditations on landscape, ecology, and locomotion. Sculpture, film, video, photography, and performance converge to address the multi-disciplinary practice of ambulation through the cityscape and the countryside. For those who hike; march in fundraisers, protests, or parades; walk the dog; stroll in the park; or commute daily, this catalogue will invite new thought into basic human movement.

Summary:
Director of the Generali Foundation from 2008 to 2014, Sabine Folie helped establish the institution's reputation for generating new critical discussion on contemporary art through revisiting modernism. This survey catalog, illustrated with photographs and source materials, documents the extensive collection of works acquired during Folie's tenure. Essays by theorists and artists reflect on contemporary art themes exploring areas such as linguistic devices, the dismantling of representation and the reorganization of pictorial space, the changing roles of artist and museums, the relationship between subject and environment due to globalization and post-colonialism, artistic processing of history and the production of memorial culture.
