Summary:
One of the premier institutions of contemporary art in the country, the Walker Art Center also holds an important collection of over 11,000 objects from the early 20th century to the present. These holdings reflect the Center's renowned multidisciplinary program, and include paintings, sculpture, prints, photography, film, video, installations, and digital arts that range in date from classic early modernist to cutting edge contemporary. While aiming to represent the immense diversity in art-making around the world, the collection also is known for several areas of specialty including Minimalism, Arte Povera, Fluxus, and contemporary printmaking. In-depth representations of work by individual artists, including Matthew Barney, Joseph Beuys, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, William Klein, Robert Motherwell, and Kara Walker reflect the Center's long and close relationships with many of the century's most creative minds. Showcased in this stunning, expansive, well-designed volume are more than 650 beautifully reproduced works of art. Co-authored by the Walker's curators and staff, and more than 30 Walker alumni, this book draws heavily on Walker archival material to serve as both a history of the institution and a primer on modern and contemporary art. Adding further dimension to the polyvocal, multifaceted rendition of this dynamic public art centre are contributions from a select group of acclaimed writers including, A.S. Byatt, Joshua Clover, Arthur Danto, Dave Eggers, Darby English, Annie Proulx, David Shapiro, and others. The catalogue is published in conjunction with the Spring 2005 re-opening of the newly expanded Walker Art Center.

Summary:
Ce volume, dédié aux expressions de l’art outsider réalisées au Canada, a pour premier objectif d’atteindre et de sensibiliser sur ce thème un public de lecteurs le plus vaste possible. L’ouvrage donne la parole à des artistes qui, jusqu’à une période récente, étaient exclus du monde de l’art traditionnel, leur travail ne se conformant pas aux idéologies des institutions artistiques établies. L’art outsider est le reflet d’un territoire de production culturelle qui donne un sens et une visibilité aux pratiques de création indépendantes de la formation formelle, des mouvements artistiques reconnus et des tendances actuelles. L’art outsider n’existe, dit-on, qu’en raison de l’élitisme culturel et des différences de classe où les marges sont définies par le centre. La marginalisation sociale de ses représentants, souvent due à des problèmes de santé mentale, a conduit à leur exclusion du monde de l’art contemporain. Ce livre, qui invite les spectateurs à renoncer aux mythes et aux stéréotypes sur l’origine de la créativité et à soutenir le travail de créateurs autodidactes s’exprimant de manière unique, affronte les thèmes de la justice sociale, de la diversité et de l’intégration dans le monde de l’art.

Summary:
This illustrated exhibition catalog looks closely at how abstraction in art is often intimately tied with shifting ideas of the bodily. Bringing together seemingly unalike categories such as figurative/abstract, self/other and exotic/banal into newly fused configurations, the publication shows how artists have often conceived of these categories as inextricably intertwined. The catalog is divided into three thematic sections. “Mirror” explores the ways artists have honed in on the forms of the face and head as a distorted mirror. “Matter” looks at how artists draw on the metaphorical resonances of the body in ways that suggest mutable morphologies, especially in relation to socially constructed definitions of gender, race and sexuality. "Metamorphosis" examines how artists have used abstraction as a means to transform the human body into different modes of being: new identities, other animals and spiritual or cosmological entities.

Summary:
What is "Magic Art"? In 1953, André Breton, founder of the Surrealist movement, was invited by a prestigious French publisher to explore answers to this question. His resulting analysis is wide-ranging and evocative. Beginning with a literary review of magic and art, Breton draws upon Novalis and Baudelaire before considering the prehistoric rock art of Spain and France, the native art of the Pacific Northwest, the magical grimoires and alchemical symbolism of the Middle Ages, and the work of Hieronymus Bosch, Antoine Caron, Paolo Uccello, Gustav Moreau, Paul Gauguin and the Surrealists. Through these and other diverse sources, Breton traces a mystery that lies at the heart of our timeless fascination with otherness and seeks to place Surrealism as a successor to a magical sensibility that began with art itself.
