Summary:
Ballpoint drawing has evolved into a thriving art form since the pen emerged as a writing tool in the 1940s, when the Hungarian journalist and inventor Laszlo Biro fled war-torn Europe and began manufacturing the pens in Argentina. Throughout the 1950s and '60s, as the ballpoint became cheaper and more accessible, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Nam June Paik, Louise Bourgeois, and many others, sketched with the pens. Today, those who make art with ballpoint pen are no longer confined by size or style. They draw on sculpture, wallpaper, canvas, architecture, and 50-foot sheets of paper, depicting a wide range of subjects - from psychologically charged portraits to mutant animals to abstract scribbles. This book features 30 artists from around the world who are currently creating masterpieces with ballpoint, and discusses their methods, the messages in their work, and their personal connections to the pen.

Hailed upon its publication as “discriminating, erudite, and eclectic,” From Lascaux to Brooklyn is now available to readers once again. First published in 1996, the year of Paul Rand’s death, the volume embarks on a wonderful journey from the time before graphic design to the author’s own studio work and beyond. An excellent companion to Rand’s Design, Form, and Chaos, this book awakens readers to the lessons of the cave paintings of Lascaux and demonstrates how this learning is later conveyed in artworks ranging from the Tower of Pisa to a Cézanne painting, an African sculpture, or a park in Brooklyn. Topics discussed include the relationship between art and business, the presentation of design concepts to prospective clients, the debate over typographic style, and the aesthetics of combinatorial geometry. This book engages and enlightens anyone interested in the practice or theory of graphic design.

Des peintres s'y rallient bientôt – Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo, Balla et Severini –, prônant à leur tour le «dynamisme pictural». Soirées futuristes et conférences se multiplient un peu partout en Europe, de même que les manifestes, tant politiques qu'artistiques. Gagnant rapidement tous les domaines – sculpture, architecture, musique, mais aussi cinéma, théâtre, danse, mode et cuisine –, le futurisme opère jusque dans les années 1930 une véritable révolution des idées, et une mise en cause de l'art lui-même. C'est à l'analyse de cette «philosophie du devenir» que nous convie Giovanni Lista, manifestes à l'appui.

Une esthétique que Georges Didi-Huberman développe à partir de l'analyse minutieuse - textes et images mêlés et confrontés - de Documents, la revue d'art que Georges Bataille, aves ses compagnons Michel Leiris, Carl Einstein, Marcel Griaule, et quelques autres, a dirigée en 1929 et 1930. Dans cette revue, Bataille a fait preuve d'une stupéfiante radicalité dans la tentative de dépasser, de «décomposer» comme il disait, les fondements mêmes de l'esthétique classique. Au-delà des lectures «empathiques» dont Bataille a fait souvent l'objet, l'auteur tente de dégager une leçon de méthode pour l'histoire de l'art et pour l'esthétique d'aujourd'hui : la conjonction d'une pensée transgressive et d'une pensée déjà structurale, la conjonction des avant-gardes artistiques (peinture, sculpture, cinéma, photographie) et des sciences humaines (archéologie, histoire, ethnologie, psychanalyse). Tout cela fait de Documents un véritable moment clef dans notre pensée moderne de l'image.

Summary:
In Imagine No Possessions, Christina Kiaer investigates the Russian Constructivist conception of objects as being more than commodities. "Our things in our hands must be equals, comrades," wrote Aleksandr Rodchenko in 1925. Kiaer analyzes this Constructivist counterproposal to capitalism's commodity fetish by examining objects produced by Constructivist artists between 1923 and 1925: Vladimir Tatlin's prototype designs for pots and pans and other everyday objects, Liubov' Popova's and Varvara Stepanova's fashion designs and textiles, Rodchenko's packaging and advertisements for state-owned businesses (made in collaboration with revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky), and Rodchenko's famous design for the interior of a workers' club. These artists, heeding the call of Constructivist manifestos to abandon the nonobjective painting and sculpture of the early Russian avant-garde and enter into Soviet industrial production, aimed to work as "artist-engineers" to produce useful objects for everyday life in the new socialist collective.

L’architecture urbaine, mais aussi les modules des skateparks, leur font étrangement écho. Les essais de Zarka participent d’une espèce d’archéologie fantastique ; ils prolongent à leur manière son travail de sculpture et de photographie. La chronologie « lacunaire » présentée dans « Une journée sans vague » offre une lecture sobre, et même laconique – bien qu’extrêmement informée –, d’une histoire qui a été généralement traitée sur le mode hagiographique par des skateurs de la première heure, « anciens combattants » reconvertis au journalisme ou à la sociologie. Elle rend d’autant plus sensibles les lignes de force qui traversent la pratique du skate et la rattachent à tout un pan de la réflexion contemporaine sur la transmigration des formes et des usages.

In 2014, Hammons sent the Whitney Museum of American Art a sketch for a monument to Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978), paying homage to Matta-Clark’s legendary ''Day’s End'' (1975)—an industrial, cathedral-like space of altered architecture—once located near today’s Whitney in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Completed in 2021, Hammons’s work, also titled ''Day’s End'', was realized by the Whitney in collaboration with Hudson River Park, and is on permanent view. One of the most important artists working in the United States, Hammons makes art across mediums, often outside traditional venues. In addition to photographic documentation, the book includes essays on the origins of ''Day’s End'', Hammons’s career scope, and a contribution by poet Ben Okri.

En parallèle à une série de photographies où se révélaient mutuellement les beautés de la nature et de l'architecture, l'artiste proposait également une imposante sculpture en bois. À la fois réceptacle et sanctuaire, demeure et nid, cette oeuvre contemplative, éclairée de l'intérieur, aux qualités plastiques saisissantes, nous renvoyait à des besoins universels liés d'une manière ou d'une autre aux notions d'enveloppement, de contemplation, d'habitat et d'urbanisme. Or, si la présentation de l'exposition «Réflexions» est à l'origine de ce projet de publication, c'est d'abord la maturité d'une démarche solidement construite sur plus de trente années de carrière artistique qui nous a persuadé de la pertinence de réaliser cette monographie portant sur l'oeuvre de Linda Covit.

Summary:
With her great passion for music, architecture, the theatre and opera, Helg's photographs create monumental spaces in which sculpture, painting, installations, and most of all light are constantly interwoven. Like a window opening onto the invisible, giving glimpses of the mind, her light-filled world is weirdly beautiful, at once poetic and spiritual. You step inside and then lose your bearings, as if in a drunken stupor, and tempted to let yourself slide slowly, dangerously between blinding light and total darkness. Beatrice Helg's work ultimately explores the infinite; it is a quest for the absolute, or rather a delving into the boundless identity of an inner mystery. This book presents a selection of her photographs taken over the past twenty-five years, accompanied by original commentary by Robert Wilson, as well as critical writings and poetry by Philippe Piguet, Serge Linares and Sylviane Dupuis.

Beatrice Helg's work ultimately explores the infinite; it is a quest for the absolute, or rather a delving into the boundless identity of an inner mystery. This book presents a selection of her photographs taken over the past twenty-five years, accompanied by original commentary by Robert Wilson, as well as critical writings and poetry by Philippe Piguet, Serge Linares and Sylviane Dupuis.
