Résumé:
''Humane ecology: Eight positions'' features a group of contemporary artists who consider the intertwined natural and social dimensions of environmental questions: Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Carolina Caycedo, Allison Janae Hamilton, Juan Antonio Olivares, Christine Howard Sandoval, Pallavi Sen, and Kandis Williams. These artists—through their work in sculpture, video, sound installation, and plantings—think in the relational terms implied by ecology, the study of how organisms relate to one another and their environment. They explore themes such as the extraction and exploitation of both places and people, kinships with the more-than-human world, and ancient traditions of relation to the land that take on new urgency and form. Against posthumanist tendencies to “decenter” the human, these artists center different humans, ones routinely excluded from dominant discourses of environmentalism. The publication presents entries on each artist in addition to scholarly essays on the exhibition concept, genealogies of land art, and settler colonial histories of the Berkshires.

Résumé:
Réalisé par une cinquantaine d'artistes ou de chercheurs et de chercheures en arts (danse, cinéma, musique et arts sonores, arts plastiques, théâtre, arts numériques, littérature, photographie, performance), et coordonné par un collectif de l'Université Paris 8, ce livre souhaite contribuer au tournant écologique des arts. La notion d'écologie est ici entendue au sens large (dans une perspective guattarienne), et intègre à la perspective environnementale celles des écologies mentale et sociale : les pratiques artistiques se font écosophiques dès lors qu'elles interrogent la notion même d'esthétique, à la croisée de l'aisthétis (le sensible), de l'éthique et du politique. Respectueux de la multiplicité et de la complexité du monde, l'ouvrage est organisé sous la forme d'un abécédaire qui fait état du foisonnement des pratiques artistiques contemporaines en prise avec les enjeux écologiques. Sa forme en est également le reflet, chaque notice assumant sa singularité, du discours académique à des formes d'écritures engagées.

Résumé:
This illustrated exhibition catalog looks closely at how abstraction in art is often intimately tied with shifting ideas of the bodily. Bringing together seemingly unalike categories such as figurative/abstract, self/other and exotic/banal into newly fused configurations, the publication shows how artists have often conceived of these categories as inextricably intertwined. The catalog is divided into three thematic sections. “Mirror” explores the ways artists have honed in on the forms of the face and head as a distorted mirror. “Matter” looks at how artists draw on the metaphorical resonances of the body in ways that suggest mutable morphologies, especially in relation to socially constructed definitions of gender, race and sexuality. "Metamorphosis" examines how artists have used abstraction as a means to transform the human body into different modes of being: new identities, other animals and spiritual or cosmological entities.

Résumé:
What is "Magic Art"? In 1953, André Breton, founder of the Surrealist movement, was invited by a prestigious French publisher to explore answers to this question. His resulting analysis is wide-ranging and evocative. Beginning with a literary review of magic and art, Breton draws upon Novalis and Baudelaire before considering the prehistoric rock art of Spain and France, the native art of the Pacific Northwest, the magical grimoires and alchemical symbolism of the Middle Ages, and the work of Hieronymus Bosch, Antoine Caron, Paolo Uccello, Gustav Moreau, Paul Gauguin and the Surrealists. Through these and other diverse sources, Breton traces a mystery that lies at the heart of our timeless fascination with otherness and seeks to place Surrealism as a successor to a magical sensibility that began with art itself.

Résumé:
The book "Visible: Art as policies for care. Socially engaged art (2010–Ongoing)" was born from the editors' enduring curatorial research into long-term situated art projects that exist within the social sphere, beyond the logic of the traditional art system, confronting unjust systems, and prefiguring novel visions for living together. The socially engaged art projects collected here hold a significant place in the constantly evolving trans-local art scene of the past two decades, and form a lens through which to observe changing realities and their urgencies; they redefine the concept of art in light of current climatic, political, and social changes and foster the dematerialization of the artwork in processes that become policies of culture and care.
