Summary:
One of the twentieth century's most influential and iconoclastic protagonists, John Cage (1912-1992) may be described not so much as a composer, artist and author, as a thinker who applied his ideas equivalently to sound, visual art and writing. As with his music, the use of chance operations--in particular via the Chinese "Book of Changes," or "I Ching" - was central to(...)

Summary:
One of the twentieth century's most influential and iconoclastic protagonists, John Cage (1912-1992) may be described not so much as a composer, artist and author, as a thinker who applied his ideas equivalently to sound, visual art and writing. As with his music, the use of chance operations--in particular via the Chinese "Book of Changes," or "I Ching" - was central to Cage's approach to visual art, determining technique, the placement of forms and even tonal values. "Every Day is a Good Day" provides the first broad assessment of Cage's art, and is fully illustrated with plates of his drawings, watercolors and prints, including series such as "Where R=Ryoanji" (1983-92). Cage's working methods and philosophies are brought to light in new interviews with key collaborators: printmaker and writer Kathan Brown, founder of Crown Point Press; Laura Kuhn, Director of the John Cage Trust; artist Ray Kass; and Julie Lazar, curator of Cage's composition for a museum, "Rolywholyover: A Circus." Extracts from a 1966 interview between John Cage and critic Irving Sandler are also reproduced. At the heart of the book is a "Companion to John Cage," a selection of quotes by Cage and notes on key themes and influences, all of which make it essential reading on this important figure of the twentieth-century avant garde.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage accompagne l’exposition consacrée à Dennis Oppenheim au Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole. Le Musée de Saint-Etienne s’intéresse au travail de cet artiste américain, né en 1938, depuis son ouverture. Alors que l’exposition se préparait en lien direct et régulier avec l’artiste, l’équipe du Musée a brutalement appris sa disparition (janvier 2011). L’artiste avait déjà pensé l’exposition: cinq installations dans quatre lieux différents du Musée. Chaque lieu convoquerait des univers spécifiques: celui du corps et du mimétisme ironique de la vie avec Theme for a Major Hit (1974) et Table Piece (1975); celui de la transformation jusqu’à la disparition dans le couloir (lieu de transition) avec Aging (1974); celui dela sculpture urbaine, décorative et exubérante avec les Splash Buildings (2009), et enfin celui du jeu entre l’architecture etla sculpture avec les installations des Smokestack Buildings with Frozen Fireworks (2009) et Black (2007). Cette publication accompagne l’exposition mais se veut plus qu’un simple catalogue. Elle offre l’occasion de parcourir les trente dernières années de création de ce fabuleux constructeur de formes et de mécanismes, de ce singulier artiste qui échappe à toute forme de classification ou de système. Outre une riche et précieuse iconographie sur son travail (environ 80 illustrations, sélectionnées en collaboration avec l’épouse de l’artiste), le volume présente un texte émouvant du directeur du Musée et ami de l’artiste, Lóránd Hegyi, et un essai du critique Alberto Fiz.

Summary:
This is the first full-scale study of Wodiczko's work, its ethico-political imperatives, and the diverse interpretive lenses which accompany its theorization. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, and bringing together an array of essays by leading scholars from a variety of disciplines, the book represents the most significant and sustained engagement with the artist's practice to date. By nature, Wodiczko's work is often controversial and the book looks at his development of a series of nomadic instruments for both homeless and immigrant operators that function as implements for survival, communication, empowerment, and healing. The Homeless Vehicle project in New York City, equips nomadic 'evicts' with tools for self-articulation, whilst the elaborate Xenology instruments are designed to empower the 'immigrant' by providing access to speech and figuration in the public realm. Like much of his work, his interrogative designs and portable instruments are animated by a desire to bring the socially opaque into the public sphere of appearances, to restore voice and visibility to those rendered mute within the parameters of the public domain.

Although Al Taylor began his career as a painter, in 1985 he devised an innovative approach that encompassed twodimensional drawings and three-dimensional objects. Taylor saw no distinction between his drawings and threedimensional works and referred to his constructions not as sculptures but as "drawings in space" or "drawing instruments". These objects were usually(...)

Summary:
Although Al Taylor began his career as a painter, in 1985 he devised an innovative approach that encompassed twodimensional drawings and three-dimensional objects. Taylor saw no distinction between his drawings and threedimensional works and referred to his constructions not as sculptures but as "drawings in space" or "drawing instruments". These objects were usually fashioned out of unconventional materials, and often incorporated humble and humorous elements. They offered multiple viewpoints and would subsequently form the basis of further explorations on paper. Rim Jobs and Sideffects presents two series, "Rim Jobs" (1995) and "Sideffects" (1995-97), which demonstrate Taylor's multi-dimensional compositions.
