Summary:
Un coup d'œil attentif aux murs des grandes villes suffit à s'en convaincre : l'art a conquis la rue. Malgré l'interdiction proclamée par la République, affiches, pochoirs ou graffitis rehaussent de couleurs l'environnement des citadins. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau. Depuis quarante ans, des plasticiens questionnent la ville et y exposent leurs œuvres. Aujourd'hui(...)

Summary:
Un coup d'œil attentif aux murs des grandes villes suffit à s'en convaincre : l'art a conquis la rue. Malgré l'interdiction proclamée par la République, affiches, pochoirs ou graffitis rehaussent de couleurs l'environnement des citadins. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau. Depuis quarante ans, des plasticiens questionnent la ville et y exposent leurs œuvres. Aujourd'hui cependant, une nouvelle génération d'artistes, dont beaucoup ont grandi le Posca à la main, revisite l'esthétique de la rue. Après l'effervescence des années 80 et la répression des années 90, cette " nouvelle vague " marie les techniques, multiplie les supports et développe un langage plastique original en marge des circuits officiels. C'est à un panorama de l'art urbain que In Situ nous convie. L'ouvrage revient sur l'apparition et le développement de cette mouvance foisonnante et dresse un état des lieux des pratiques. Les artistes y racontent leur parcours, expliquent leur démarche, analysent et commentent un mode d'expression dont la vitalité séduit les citadins.

Pioneering conceptual artist Vito Acconci began his career as a poet. In the 1960s, before beginning his work in performance and video art, Acconci studied at the Iowa Writers Workshop and published poems in journals and chapbooks.

Summary:
Pioneering conceptual artist Vito Acconci began his career as a poet. In the 1960s, before beginning his work in performance and video art, Acconci studied at the Iowa Writers Workshop and published poems in journals and chapbooks. Almost all of this work remains unknown; much of it appeared in the self-produced magazines of the Lower East Side's mimeo revolution, and many other pieces were never published. Language to Cover a Page collects these writings for the first time and not only shows Acconci to be an important experimental writer of the period, but demonstrates the continuity of his early writing with his later work in film, video, and performance. "Language to cover a page" documents a key moment in the unprecedented intersection of artists and poets in the late 1960s - as seen in the Dwan Gallery's series of "Language" shows (1967-1970) and in Acconci's own journal 0 to 9. Indeed, as Acconci moved from the poetry scene to the art world, his poetry became increasingly performative while his artwork was often structured and motivated by linguistic play. Acconci's early writing recalls the work of Samuel Beckett, the deadpan voice of the nouveau roman, and the jump cuts and fraught permutations of the nouvelle vague. Poems in "Language to cover a page" explore the materiality of language ("language as matter and not ideas," as Robert Smithson put it), the physical space of the page, and the physicality of source texts (phonebooks, thesauruses, dictionaries). Other poems take the space of the page as an analogue to performance space or implicate the poem in a network of activity (as in his "Dial-a-Poem" pieces).

En revanche, l'accent y est mis sur le concept ou l'idée qui la sous-tend. Les travaux de facture artisanale sont ainsi relayés par des esquisses, des écrits, voire des instructions qui valent œuvre à part entière. Un aspect important de l'art conceptuel est en fait la dématérialisation de l'œuvre d'art, et, partant, l'accomplissement de l'œuvre dans l'imagination du spectateur, qui en réactualise constamment le concept. Au vu de l'inhérente critique institutionnelle qui le caractérise et par sa remise en question de la conception traditionnelle de l'art, l'art conceptuel revêt une importance d'actualité en tant que modèle alternatif, notamment à une époque marquée par le déferlement incessant d'images et la réanimation de formes d'art réputées conservatrices comme la peinture.

Summary:
Feldman is now widely recognized, alongside John Cage and Edgard Varèse, as one of the foremost American composers of the twentieth century. Despite his reputation, he remains poorly represented in published literature. Feldman loved to talk. This lifelong passion is demonstrated in the many interviews and lectures Morton Feldman gave about his life and work. Over the past seven years, editor Chris Villars has collected and published many of Feldman’s interviews online, a selection of which is now available for the first time in this book. The book is certainly an important addition to the literature of Feldman. Morton Feldman says can also be enjoyed for the pleasure that Feldman’s words offer, and for the illumination that they give to anyone who is making work in art or design. Morton Feldman says features 21 interviews and notes on conversations spanning 23 years of Feldman’s life, including conversations with Gavin Bryars, Kevin Volans, and Walter Zimmermann, as well as transcriptions of four Feldman’s lectures, held in Toronto (1982), Johannesburg (1983), and Darmstadt (1984). The publication also contains an introduction by the editor and the first English translation of Sebastian Claren’s biographical notes (originally published in Neither: Die Musik Morton Feldmans). A key element in the book is the photographs from Feldman’s life, which provide a rich accompaniment to the text.

Price:

Summary:
During their decade-long collaboration (1985-1995), Kate Ericson and Mel Ziegler produced some of the most influential conceptual art projects of the time. Among their witty and stimulating installations and outdoor projects was Camouflaged History, a house painted in a U.S. Army-designed camouflage pattern using 72 commercial paint colors included in the municipally-approved "authentic colors" of historic Charleston, South Carolina. The commercial name of each paint, commemorating an aspect of the city's history, is also painted on the house, revealing and illuminating the lingering Civil War-era past of the region. Like the Earthwork pioneers, Ericson and Ziegler took the whole country as their working space; but rather than impose a conspicuous work of art upon a site or situation, they devised projects that altered sites subtly, creating a patchwork of poetic narratives and histories to be excavated. The windows rescued from the old National Licorice factory in Philadelphia in the title piece America Starts Here--which takes its name from the slogan used to promote Pennsylvania tourism during the 1980s--are hung according to the location of the original windows in the factory; the cracks in the glass echo the famous cracks in two of Philadelphia's tourist attractions, the Liberty Bell and Marcel Duchamp's The Large Glass.

Elusive signs : Bruce Nauman works with light

(available to order)
Summary:
Intrigued and inspired by the neon beer signs on shopfronts in his San Francisco neighborhood, Bruce Nauman created his first neon piece, "Window or wall sign", in 1967. He wanted, he said, to achieve "an art that would kind of disappear - that was supposed to not quite look like art." Light offered Nauman a medium both elusive and effervescent, but one that could also aggressively convey a message. Over the first three decades of his career, Nauman used the medium of light to explore the twists and turns of perception, logic, and meaning with the earnest playfulness that characterizes all his art. "Elusive signs" focuses on the discrete body of Nauman's work that uses neon and fluorescent light in signs and room installations, and includes images of nearly all Nauman's work with light. After "Window or wall sign", Nauman embarked on a series of neons that grappled with the semiotics of body and identity, and with "My name as though it were written on the surface of the moon" (1968), he forces the viewer to contemplate the role of naming in forming identity. Language - signs and symbols - plays an important role in Nauman's art. His later neon works emphasize the neon as a sign, presenting provocative twists of language and offering harsh and humorous sociopolitical commentary in such pieces as "Run from fear, fun from rear" (1972). This series culminates in the monumental, billboard-size "One hundred live and die" (1984), which employs overwhelming scale to bombard the viewer with sardonic aphorisms. In the essays that accompany the images of Nauman's work, Joseph Ketner II of the Milwaukee Art Museum (which originated the exhibit this book accompanies) and critics Janet Kraynak and Gregory Volk analyze the works in light both as a body of work and as an access point to Nauman's entire career.
