Résumé:
Bearing witness to the changing economic landscape amid the Cold War, artists in the 1960s created works that critiqued, reshaped, and sometimes reinforced the spirit of capitalism. At a time when currency and finance were becoming ever more abstracted—and the art market increasingly an arena for speculation—artists on both sides of the Atlantic turned to economic themes, often grounded in a human context. ''The artist as economist'' examines artists who approached these issues in critical, imaginative, and humorous ways. Such examples, which author Sophie Cras insightfully situates within their historic economic context, reveal capitalism’s visual dimension. As art and economics grow more entangled, this volume offers a timely consideration of art’s capacity to reflect on and reimagine economic systems.

Résumé:
This is the first book to approach Russian avant-garde art from the perspective of the anti-art canons associated with the international Dada movement. The works described and documented in Russian Dada were produced at the height of Dada's flourishing, between World War I and the death of Vladimir Lenin—who, incidentally, was a frequent visitor to Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, the founding site of Dada. Like the Dadaists, the Russian avant-gardists whose works appear in this volume strove for internationalism, fused the verbal and visual, and engaged in eccentric practices and pacifist actions, including outrageous performances and anti-war campaigns. ''Russian Dada'', which accompanies a major exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, includes 250 images and essays by leading art historians.

Le Street Art s'invite au musée à l'occasion des 20 ans du musée d'Art moderne et contemporain de Strasbourg. Depuis quelques années, cet « art de la rue » d’abord réservé à quelques initiés s'est démocratisé : les street artists sont aujourd'hui des artistes réputés et reconnus, y compris par les institutions muséales, à l'instar de l'artiste engagé Banksy, du photographe parisien JR ou encore du mosaïste Invader. En 2018 à Strasbourg, le musée d'Art moderne et contemporain accueille sur ses façades extérieures une fresque du collectif FAILE. Ce duo basé à Brooklyn et composé des street artists nord-américains Patrick McNeil et Patrick Miller investit depuis une vingtaine d'années l'espace public de grandes métropoles, de New York à Londres en passant par Lisbonne, avec des procédés aussi divers que le collage, le pochoir, l'installation ou encore la sculpture.

''The Cabinet of Traces'' is a collection of 73 traces that were left behind by various artists in residency at Air Antwerp from 2012 onwards. The traces presented in this publication form a diverse collection of objects, drawings, little art works, letters, and clothes. Likewise a catalogue of an ethnographic collection, this publication provides all standard technical details with each trace: material, dimensions, title and the artist who created it. Each trace bears its own story. ''The Cabinet of Traces'' remembers these stories, while feeding new ones. Memories are constructions and the traces in the publication form the basis from which these memories can be created. ''The Cabinet of Traces'' is a tool that feeds the imagination. It will be passed on to future artists in residency in order to evoke a reaction. New artists will extend the collection.
