Summary:
Cet ouvrage problématise la notion de culture en tentant de rendre compte de ses enjeux dans le cadre d’une réflexion sur l’art et la mémoire. Il s’agit, à travers un véritable essai, de se demander ce qu’un anthropologue, travaillant sur les notions de mémoire et de restes, peut arriver à dire, à échanger avec un artiste contemporain qui lui aussi travaille sur la(...)

Summary:
Cet ouvrage problématise la notion de culture en tentant de rendre compte de ses enjeux dans le cadre d’une réflexion sur l’art et la mémoire. Il s’agit, à travers un véritable essai, de se demander ce qu’un anthropologue, travaillant sur les notions de mémoire et de restes, peut arriver à dire, à échanger avec un artiste contemporain qui lui aussi travaille sur la mémoire, en particulier dans l’espace public.En suivant l’analyse d’une trentaine d’œuvres de Jochen Gerz, artiste allemand internationalement connu, né à Berlin en 1940, ce livre s’interroge sur cette tendance qu’une partie de l’art contemporain entretient avec la notion d’œuvres ouvertes, d’œuvres participatives, pensées dans et pour l’espace public. Les processus de création de nombre de ses œuvres, dispositifs ou mémoriaux, invitent à faire du moment de réception de l’art un temps constitutif de l’oeuvre. En proposant aux gens de participer, en creusant un « déficit des œuvres », Gerz laisse une place vacante, des objets partiels, une mémoire que le spectateur s’oblige à revisiter à partir de lui-même. Dans cette perspective, son travail propose à l’art de se défaire du rôle passif qu’il réserve souvent à ses spectateurs et engage la mémoire à s’énoncer à partir du présent. De Dachau (1972), Harburg (1986), Sarrebruck (1993), Biron (1996), Berlin (1997), Paris (2000), Coventry (2004), jusqu’aux rues de Dortmund (2010), à travers l’Europe, qu’il compare à « un arbre sans ombre », Gerz conçoit des œuvres dédiées aux vivants. Pour qu’à la suite des monuments dédiés aux morts, à l’art funéraire, succède un art de revenir à la vie. Il dresse la liste des noms des vivants, parfois de leurs signatures, d’autre fois de leurs mots. Ces inventaires s’invitent dans les rues, consignent la vie, ordinaire, discrètement. Comme une ressemblance. Cet ouvrage est la première monographie consacrée entièrement à cet artiste conceptuel et de l’espace public. Le livre se construit autour de nombreux entretiens menés par l’auteur avec Jochen Gerz, pendant plus deux ans (entre 2013 et 2015). Il propose une réflexion sur la place des objets dans l’œuvre de Gerz mais également en référence à d’autres artistes (comme Duchamp, Sarkis, Boltanski, Christo…) ou écrivains (Primo Levi, Marcel Cohen…). En plus du texte (français/anglais), l’ouvrage présente, dans un cahier descriptif, l’ensemble des œuvres auxquelles le texte fait référence ainsi que leurs photographies. Il est également accompagné de documents (photographies couleurs et noir et blanc) réalisées en Irlande, dans le lieu où vit Gerz depuis 2008, par Pierre Gaudin/Créaphis.

Desert comprises four series of works (each bound as a separate book and presented in a unique slipcase), all of which contain monochromatic images of arid lands. Stratigraphy etched into rock faces, massive stones, cave-like precipices and anthropomorphic fauna showcase an extensive compendium of the desert’s many faces and textures. Each image focuses on the landscape’s formal qualities, eschewing human presence, simultaneously evoking late 19th-century photography, while epitomizing the stark modernity of Lee’s lens. “As a photographer,” writes Lee, “I am primarily concerned with the unconscious, the unknown, and the invisible.”

This major art-historical study sheds new light on the remarkable combination of image, text, and music, revealing Salomon’s wealth of references to cinema, opera, Berlin cabaret, and the painter’s self-consciously deployed modernist engagements with artists such as Van Gogh, Munch, and Kollwitz. Additionally, Griselda Pollock draws attention to affinities in Salomon’s work with that of others who shared her experience of statelessness and menaced exile in Nazi-dominated Europe, including Hannah Arendt, Sigmund Freud, and Walter Benjamin.

Summary:
Following Greenhouse Studies, Philippe Weisbecker's attention was drawn to other architectural structures, the ones visible on the outer walls of early 20th century industrial buildings. They are made of steel or concrete beams assembled together and holding an apparatus of bricks and mortar. Even though these structures may appear very similar for their overall shape, they differ greatly in order to ensure the weight distribution necessary to the stability of the edifice. The present portfolio is a sampler of some various structural beam combinations. It can be viewed as a book, spread by spread, or pinned on the wall, according to taste, the way a kid might stack up building blocks. Born in 1942, Weisbecker studied interior design in Paris. By 1968 he moved to New York. First working as a draftsman in an architectural firm, he started a career as an illustrator at the age of 30. His work has been published in major american publications such as the New York Times, Time magazine and The New Yorker among others. In the late 90's he shifted gradually from commissioned work to his own original production which he is now showing in galeries worldwide. Moving back to France in 2006, he is now sharing his time between Paris and Barcelona.
