Résumé:
Lifelike invites a close examination of art since the late 1960s based on commonplace objects and situations that are startlingly realistic, often playful and sometimes surreal--works that investigate the quieter side of the quotidian. While artists such as Vija Celmins, Rudolf Stingel and Paul Sietsema employ illusionistic painting and drawing, others’ use of materials is surprising--Thomas Demand’s video of what appears to be a rainstorm is made from animated candy wrappers; Susan Collis’ sculpture of construction debris is fashioned from exotic hardwoods, mother of pearl and silver. What binds these artists together is their rejection of the easy route technology might offer in favor of labor-intensive fabrication. Featuring painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, video and installations by more than 40 artists, this publication is the first publication to address the recent history of artists using these strategies across media.

Résumé:
Le 12 août 2010, Lek et Sowat ont trouvé un supermarché abandonné dans le nord de Paris. Situé entre un atelier de maintenance RATP, le périphérique et des tours de béton, le bâtiment déserté n'attirait pas l'attention. Et pourtant... Une fois à l'intérieur, ils ont découvert 40 000 m2 de murs vierges répartis sur quatre étages dont deux plongés dans l'obscurité. Des salles immenses et sans fin où des centaines de personnes avaient vécu avant d'être chassées par la force publique du jour au lendemain... Pendant un an, dans le plus grand secret, les deux artistes se sont rendus dans ce lieu mystique quasi quotidiennement pour y peindre et organiser une résidence artistique sauvage unique en son genre. Ils ont demandé à une quarantaine de graffeurs français et de photographes, issus de la première à la dernière génération du mouvement, de les y accompagner, pour un jour ou une semaine. Chacun a promis ne pas rien révéler du bâtiment ou du projet... Ensemble, ils ont créé un mausolée, un temple dédié à leur culture underground en passe de disparaître à l'ère du street art et de son esthétique pop mondialisée. De cette expérience, ils ont tiré un film en stop motion de plus de 8 000 images qu'ils comptent diffuser gratuitement sur internet. Ce livre se propose de retracer les grandes étapes visuelles de cette expérience hors du commun.

LE SILENCE Une fiction gathers a corpus of contemporary works by 25 artists, ranging from Arman’s Accumulations to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s photographs, and together they present a world that is both strange and familiar, what curator Simone Menegoi refers to as “the story of a planet that has become uninhabitable for reasons unknown….” Part scientific experiment, part fictional narrative, the effect of these traces that our civilisation leaves behind is one of a reversal of history, as if the works between the pages, artifacts of our contemporary era, are being observed through the eyes of an archaeologist or anthropologist from the future.

Résumé:
In connection with ‘Europalia Brasil’, the Antwerp Museum of Contemporary Art hosts a special exhibition of art that is rooted in the street grid of Rio de Janeiro. The catalogue ‘A Rua’ (the street) brings together the work of some twenty Brazilian artists whose life and work is connected with the fascinating metropolis. ‘A Rua’ zooms in on the street itself as an artistic hotbed, as a place where art and life meet, and as a studio, workshop and décor for art. It also explores the downside of the street.

Résumé:
This publication documents more than 130 alternative spaces, groups, and projects, and the significant contributions these organizations have made to the aesthetic and social fabric of New York City. Alternative art spaces offer sites for experimentation for artists to innovate, perform, and exhibit outside the commercial gallery-and-museum circuit. In New York City, the development of alternative spaces was almost synonymous with the rise of the contemporary art scene. Beginning in the 1960s and early 1970s, it was within a network of alternative sites--including 112 Greene Street, The Kitchen, P.S.1, FOOD, and many others--that the work of young artists like Yvonne Rainer, Vito Acconci, Gordon Matta-Clark, Ana Mendieta, David Wojnarowicz, David Hammons, Adrian Piper, Martin Wong, Jimmie Durham, and dozens of other now familiar names first circulated. Through interviews, photographs, essays, and archival material, Alternative Histories tells the story of such famous sites and organizations as Judson Memorial Church, Anthology Film Archives, A.I.R. Gallery, El Museo del Barrio, Franklin Furnace, and Eyebeam, as well as many less well-known sites and organizations. Essays by the exhibition curators and scholars, and excerpts of interviews with alternative space founders and staff, provide cultural and historical context.

Résumé:
Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant-Garde explores the extraordinary convergence of artists and other creators in Japan’s capital city during the radically transformative postwar period. Examining works from a range of media--painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, printmaking, video and film, as well as graphic design, architecture, musical composition and dance--this is the first publication in English to focus in depth on the full scope of postwar art in Japan. Essays by scholars Hayashi Michio and Miryam Sas and curator Mika Yoshitake discuss critical concepts in art and culture at this time, including “graphism,” which manifested itself across various mediums; the development of new sculptural languages; and the “intermedia” tendency that engendered provocative cross-pollination among artistic genres. Masatoshi Nakajima provides an illustrated chronology and Yuri Mitsuda supplies artist biographies.

Résumé:
Prior to 1966, if artists wanted to create works larger than their studios or metalworking abilities allowed, they had to turn to industrial manufacturers, who were often unable to accommodate the creative process of making art. Large Scale tells the story of Lippincott, Inc., which, from 1966 to 1994, put the tools of industrial fabrication in the hands of artists, allowing them to produce at a scale they had previously only dreamed of on paper. Lippincott worked with artists from the conception of a project to the completed sculpture, displaying pieces in the field adjoining the shop before installing them all over the country and the world. Drawing on the vast collection of images in the Lippincott archive, Large Scale presents more than three hundred photographs of these artists and their iconic works. *** An important lost chapter in the history of modern art is now available in paperback.

Projet organique, arborescent et évolutif, Suspended Spaces a comme méthode le déplacement.
