Résumé:
À l'heure de l'Anthropocène, quel pourrait être le rôle de l'art? Dans une culture qui a accéléré jusqu'au délire le passage de la marchandise à l'ordure, de la valeur au déchet, il n'est désormais rien qui ne puisse prétendre s'extraire de la logique de crise affectant la totalité des habitants de la planète Terre. À la crise climatique et à la crise économique répond en effet une crise de la culture, mêlant gaspillages, exclusions, pollutions, appropriations brutales - faisant de l'art le collaborateur de la destruction planétaire. Comment réagir à cet état des choses? Dans ce nouvel essai, urgent et passionné, Nicolas Bourriaud se fait l'avocat d'une conception nouvelle de l'art, qui prenne la mesure d'une écologie et d'une économie instituant la décroissance, la décolonisation et l'inclusion en maîtres-mots. Convoquant les plus grands créateurs de notre temps ainsi que les derniers apports de l'anthropologie, de la philosophie ou de l'esthétique, Inclusions est un vibrant plaidoyer pour une forme enfin soutenable de vie, dont l'art pourrait constituer le modèle.

Résumé:
By changing our collective relationship with the planet, global warming has transformed the artist’s gaze. Curator Nicolas Bourriaud invites artists from around the world to question the contemporaneity of the Romantic concept of the sublime in the age of the Anthropocene. Today, the sublime, grounded in the connection between humans and nature, takes a new turn, defined as a feeling of ''delight tinged with horror''. The contrast between the individual and immensity thus becomes the aesthetic notion that determines our age. Bourriaud’s exhibition takes place in three acts: every exhibition is a forest; Charles Darwin and the coral reefs; and the tragic death of Nauru Island.

Résumé:
The noted Paris-born, Brooklyn-based painter Jules de Balincourt depicts a universe in which abstract and representational images collide, orbit and satellite among each other, creating a kind of loose, free-associating, non-linear narrative, according to the artist himself. This volume collects recent works exhibited at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris.

Résumé:
Where does our current obsession for interactivity stem from? After the consumer society and the communication era, does art still contribute to the emergence of a rational society? Bourriaud attempts to renew our approach toward contemporary art by getting as close as possible to the artists works, and by revealing the principles that structure their thoughts: an aesthetic of the inter-human, of the encounter; of proximity, of resisting social formatting.

Résumé:
Moments spent in elevators, check-ins at airports, subway rides-these are all examples of the kind of "in-between" time that fascinates Walead Beshty and supplies material for his photographs. "In-between time" applies to civic space, too-depopulated modernist housing developments that sit precariously between evacuation and demolition, plants, weeds and vegetation on isolated highway medians, or abandoned shopping malls. More recently, Beshty's adventures in "the in-between" have become a means of production, as he makes creative use of such mundane procedures as air travel or sending a package. This monograph presents a ten-year overview of Walead Beshty's approach to photographic and sculptural representation, and contains newly commissioned essays by Suzanne Hudson and Nicolas Bourriaud, as well as a conversation between Bob Nickas and Beshty.
