Summary:
Transmettre, créer : deux termes qui, dans quelque ordre qu'on les mette, résument l'équation que toute école d'art est amenée à résoudre. Un défi que cette édition revue et fortement augmentée de Faire école (1992) – un ouvrage qui n'a rien perdu de son acuité et de son actualité – pense à partir de la longue expérience de son auteur dans l'enseignement artistique. Depuis la création de l'Erg (École de recherches graphiques) en 1972, à Bruxelles, qui est ici analysée pour la première fois, jusqu'aux expériences récentes menées à l'Institut Saint-Lucas de Gand, en passant par le projet de création de l'École des beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris, brutalement interrompu en 1993, Thierry de Duve n'a cessé de militer pour des réformes de fond dans la manière de former les artistes plasticiens. Ce livre véritablement écrit analyse la transmission comme condition de la création non seulement sous l'angle de la pratique mais aussi sous celui de l'histoire. Ainsi trouvera-t-on dans ce volume l'esquisse d'une généalogie des avant-gardes articulée sur les rapports entre les artistes et le prince (Allemagne) ou la puissance publique (France), d'où l'auteur dégage deux modèles de légitimation franchement opposés – un contraste dont le pouvoir de provocation devrait de toute évidence faire débat.

Italo Calvino cast his lofty thoughts toward the pending millennium long before the rest of us. Now that the zeitgeist has caught up with him, it seems a good time to revisit his Six Memos for the Next Millennium, an investigation into the literary values that he wished to bequeath to future generations.

During the past several decades, contemporary artists have asked critical questions about the way in which history is constructed through images, particularly those that are disseminated by the mass media.

Summary:
During the past several decades, contemporary artists have asked critical questions about the way in which history is constructed through images, particularly those that are disseminated by the mass media. As the media has increasingly assumed the role of historiographer, there is a danger of losing the diversity of our historical narratives. Add to this the globalization of our culture, and we are faced with a potential dulling of our collective historical awareness. In Questioning History, editors Frank van der Stok, Frits Gierstberg and Flip Bool focus on different ways in which contemporary visual artists, photographers and filmmakers have constructed historical narratives through images and offer a selection of essays that examine artists' innovative challenges to prevailing historical narratives.

Summary:
How do you get from here to there? Where is there? Psychologist Colin Ellard demonstrates that navigating through space is both complex and utterly fascinating. Beginning with the neurological and muscular coordination involved in the simple act of reaching for an object, he then investigates our interaction with space--how near and distant landmarks, for example, are used differently in navigation. From the complex behaviour of insects to the epic journeys of sea turtles, from the subtle knowledge of the environment demonstrated by such famed navigators as the Inuit and South Pacific sailors to the conceptual worlds of cyberspace, Where Am I? reveals just how deeply our unique relationship with space defines what it means to be human.

In an era when technology, biology, and culture are becoming ever more closely connected, The Dada Cyborg explains how the cyborg as we know it today actually developed between 1918 and 1933 when German artists gave visual form to their utopian hopes and fantasies in a fearful response to World War I.

Summary:
In an era when technology, biology, and culture are becoming ever more closely connected, The Dada Cyborg explains how the cyborg as we know it today actually developed between 1918 and 1933 when German artists gave visual form to their utopian hopes and fantasies in a fearful response to World War I. In what could be termed a prehistory of the posthuman, Matthew Biro shows the ways in which new forms of human existence were imagined in Germany between the two world wars through depictions of cyborgs. Examining the work of Hannah Höch, Raoul Hausmann, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Otto Dix, and Rudolf Schlichter, he reveals an innovative interpretation of the cyborg as a representative of hybrid identity, as well as a locus of new modes of awareness created by the impact of technology on human perception. Tracing the prevalence of cyborgs in German avant-garde art, Biro demonstrates how vision, hearing, touch, and embodiment were beginning to be reconceived during the Weimar Republic. Biro’s unique and interdisciplinary analysis offers a substantially new account of the Berlin Dada movement, one that integrates the group’s poetic, theoretical, and performative practices with its famous visual strategies of photomontage, assemblage, and mixed-media painting to reveal radical images of a “new human.”
