Summary:
This is the first re-issue of Stephen Willats’ major text The Artist as an Instigator of Changes in Social Cognition and Behaviour since its original publication in 1973. Willats wrote The Artist as an Instigator while he was director of the Centre for Behavioural Art, a cross-disciplinary research and discussion platform he established at Gallery House, London, in 1972–73. Long out of print, and as relevant today as it was in the early 1970s, the essay includes rigorous analyses of social forms of artistic production and descriptions of a number of projects by Willats. Along with the original text, this edition features archival images and a specially written introduction by the artist.

Through reproductions of letters, invitation cards, exhibition reviews, performance scripts and images, the publication retraces Latham’s radical practice over six decades, from the late 1940s to his death in 2006. The book highlights Latham’s prodigious linguistic inventiveness as well as the variety of his interlocutors, from artists and art world figures (Clement Greenberg, Lucy Lippard) to academics (Noam Chomsky, Stephen Hawking) and politicians (Margaret Thatcher). The Portable John Latham is introduced by co-editors Antony Hudek and Athanasios Velios, and includes a reprint of an interview of Latham by the late Charles Harrison from 1968 and a useful glossary section.

Summary:
Throughout his life Adolf Loos raised his eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, frivolous ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. His admirers consider him to be the inspiration for all modern architecture. Yet, few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary work reflecting on applied design and the essence of clothing in fin de siècle Vienna. Adolf Loos often had a radical, yet innovative outlook on life that made him such a nuisance for many of his contemporaries. His provocative musings on many subjects portray him as a man of varied interests and intellectual refinement as well as possessing a keen sense of style, which still has value today. For the first time the ‘Loos Dress Code’ is available in English. Included is a short social/historical look as the birth of Modernism in Adolf Loos’ Vienna.

Montrer que la contestation se condamnera à l'impuissance tant qu'elle n'aura pas misé - avec l'intention de la dépasser - sur la seule et véritable nouvelle économie, celle qu'instaurent le mode de production d'énergies naturelles gratuites, l'agriculture «biologique», le retour à la valeur d’usage et à la qualité des produits, la reconstruction d’un environnement en accord avec l’aspiration individuelle à une destinée moins navrante. Nous assistons avec une passivité navrante, à une mise en coupe réglée de la planète par des associations d’intérêts, qui accroissent leur puissance financière en démantelant partout les secteurs utiles à la société et en attisant des conflits locaux qui s’apparentent à des guerres de gangs. Des organismes bureaucratiques tels que le FMI ou l’OMC prêtent un semblant d’honorabilité à une politique mafieuse puisant dans les dernières ressources des populations du globe l’argent désormais investi dans les circuits fermés de la spéculation boursière. Nous sommes confrontés à un système autodestructeur qui court à la faillite financière parce qu’il tourne sur lui-même, dévaste la terre, perturbe le climat, accroît cette misère qui, alliée au désespoir, multiplie les comportements suicidaires - dont le terrorisme n’est que l’épiphénomène -, contamine, à travers le cycle de la délinquance et de la répression policière, une existence quotidienne exposée aux lois aléatoires du marché.

La fausse ville, dont la construction était prévue près de Maisons-Laffitte, au nord-ouest de la capitale, reproduisait certains éléments marquants du paysage parisien : un bras de Seine, la place de l’Étoile et celle de l’Opéra, les grands boulevards. Certaines cibles que les aviateurs auraient cherché à repérer, comme les gares, devaient également être reproduites. Conçu à une époque où les aviateurs naviguaient sans radar et pouvaient être trompés, de nuit, par de fausse illuminations, ce projet n’a pas fait la preuve de son efficacité.

Des rencontres informelles qui eurent lieu à la Factory et dans des restaurants new-yorkais. Le pape du Pop Art et la figure de la Beat Generation avaient forcément des choses à se dire. Warhol et Burroughs, au cours de ces quatre rendez-vous, vont faire ensemble le tour de la Factory, discuter l’œuvre que Warhol vient d’achever, parler de tout, de rien, de culture, de sexe, d’amour, de drogues et de vodka-tonic. Parfois, à leur table, d’autres personnalités, de passage, s’invitent. C’est ainsi que Mick Jagger apparaît, en guest star de luxe. Agrémenté d’une cinquantaine de photos, Warhol-Burroughs : Conversations balaie largement le paysage culturel, capte l’ambiance, l’effervescence de ce début de la décennie 1980 et témoigne d’une amitié naissante, d’une complicité entre ces deux grandes figures de la culture américaine. Victor Bockris est journaliste, il a accompagné Andy Warhol dans l’aventure de la Factory et a écrit de nombreux ouvrages et articles sur cette période et ses principaux protagonistes (Lou Reed, Warhol entre autres). Il prétend que c’est Andy Warhol qui lui a appris à mener une interview. Son conseil : « Ne prépare jamais tes questions. Fais comme s’il s’agissait d’un cocktail. »
