Résumé:
''Painting Photography Painting'' is the essential first collection of essays by critic and theorist Carol Armstrong, bringing together writings encompassing the many inflection points of her academic work, including French painting, early photography, feminist theory, and the representation of women and gender in the visual arts. In the book’s titular essay, Armstrong asks of Ellen Gallagher’s 2008 painting ''An Experiment of Unusual Opportunity'', which depicts a barely-visible sea creature created out of ink, graphite, oil, varnish, and variously sliced paper, ‘in what sense is this a painting exactly?’ This enquiry into the very essence of the medium provides a thread that runs throughout the book’s wide-ranging essays and ties together a variety of works on paper ‘inscribed, drawn, printed, photographed, and variously pierced and punctured’.

Résumé:
Gathering contributions from artists, writers and theorists, Fieldwork for Future Ecologies addresses the role that art and art-based research plays in expanding notions of fieldwork. At once a research handbook and a philosophical speculation, it explores ways of working within diverse climates using image, sound, movement and other sensing technologies, and also offers more creative interventions into the idea of "the field" itself. Focusing on projects from various geographic locations and situations, the book highlights the crucial contribution that art can make to environmental and climate studies.

Résumé:
For some time, artists and intellectuals struggled for the sovereign right to present themselves to society in their own way – to become self-created works of art. Today everybody has not only a right but also an obligation to practice self-design. We are responsible for the way we present ourselves to others – and we cannot get rid of this aesthetic responsibility. However, we are not able to produce our own bodies. Before we begin to practice self-design, we find ourselves already designed by the gaze of others. That is why the practice of self-design mostly takes a critical and confrontational turn. We want to bring others to see us in the way we want to be seen – not only during our earthly life but also after our death. This is a complicated struggle, and the aim of this book is to describe and analyze it.

Résumé:
Alors que les artistes se débattent face aux évolutions du droit d'auteur et aux complexités de la copie dans leurs pratiques au quotidien, le livre «Copy this book» d'Eric Schrijver est traduit en français et édité par Les commissaires anonymes. Ce livre adopte une approche à la fois pratique et critique pour guider les lecteurs à travers les différents concepts liés au droit d'auteur et la façon dont ils s'appliquent. Il se présente sous la forme d'un volume découpé en cinq chapitres thématiques, s'appuyant sur des exemples concrets et illustré par des images libres de droits et des créations originales de l'auteur. Il répond à des questions telles que : Comment obtenir des droits d'auteur ? Pour quels types d'œuvres ? Et pour combien de temps ? Comment le droit d'auteur se transpose-t-il selon les médias ? Et comment intégrer le travail d'autres artistes dans le vôtre ? « Copiez ce livre » détaille également les concepts de parentalité d'une œuvre et de création originale qui définissent les systèmes juridiques actuels. Il offre ainsi des outils conceptuels permettant de participer aux débats contemporains concernant la propriété intellectuelle.

Résumé:
Ce livre trace un chemin artistique qui mène à une thématique philosophique en prise avec notre réalité. Il parle de la violence, notion qui s’invite tragiquement dans le fil de notre actualité faite de conflits, d’émeutes, de discriminations, de rapports de force. L’œuvre d’art est alors, selon les auteurs, une porte d’entrée dans la réflexion, une fenêtre ouverte sur la discussion. Dans cette argumentation, l’œuvre est bien davantage qu’un marqueur culturel, elle capte l’attention, fait sensation, donne à sentir, ressentir ce qui est à penser, en un mot elle est exemplaire. Ce parcours valorise, en quelques chapitres, plus d’une vingtaine d’œuvres livrées au regard croisé de l’historienne de l’art et du philosophe.

Résumé:
This book is about bodies. Presenting the work of Dutch performance artist Mariken Overdijk, it explores how bodies traverse the familiar surroundings of one’s home or move along the familiar routes of everyday life, but also the relation of bodies to public space. On another level, the book also addresses how artistic research recounts the experiments and experiences, collections and vistas gained by the researcher during the course of their work. It shows that any good (artistic) research also creates futures. Overdijk makes clear that artworks are not singular events, but each creates a possibility that, however minimal, changes lives forever. Foreword by Jeroen Boomgaard.

Résumé:
In process and technique, printmaking is an art of physical contact. From woodcut and engraving to lithography and screenprinting, every print is the record of a contact event: the transfer of an image between surfaces, under pressure, followed by release. Contact reveals how the physical properties of print have their own poetics and politics and provides a new framework for understanding the intelligence and continuing relevance of printmaking today. The seemingly simple physics of printmaking brings with it an array of metamorphoses that give expression to many of the social and conceptual concerns at the heart of modern and contemporary art. Exploring transformations such as reversal, separation, and interference, Jennifer Roberts explores these dynamics in the work of Christiane Baumgartner, David Hammons, Edgar Heap of Birds, Jasper Johns, Corita Kent, Glenn Ligon, Julie Mehretu, Robert Rauschenberg, and many other leading artists who work at the edge of the medium and beyond.

Résumé:
Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) was one of the most prolific and original writers of the Italian Renaissance—a fact often eclipsed by his more celebrated achievements as an art theorist and architect, and by Jacob Burckhardt’s mythologizing of Alberti as a “Renaissance or Universal Man.” In this book, Martin McLaughlin counters this partial perspective on Alberti, considering him more broadly as a writer dedicated to literature and humanism, a major protagonist and experimentalist in the literary scene of early Renaissance Italy. McLaughlin, a noted authority on Alberti, examines all of Alberti’s major works in Latin and the Italian vernacular and analyzes his vast knowledge of classical texts and culture.

Résumé:
From "Magic and myth-work to care and repair" is a two-part book bringing together fourteen essays broadly concerned with the "fiction of the self" and with practices and explorations beyond that fiction. Each part of the book approaches this theme from a different angle. The first part, entitled "On magic and myth-work," deals with practices of transformation and with contemporary myth-making in relation to landscape, performance, and writing. The second part, “On Care and Repair,” gathers together essays that are more personal, but that also look to various technologies (or devices) of self-care alongside ideas of collaboration and the collective. Crucial throughout this exploration are questions of agency and self-narration, but also how these connect to larger issues around historical trauma, neoliberalism, and ecological crisis. The essays reference many other texts and fellow travellers, and also draw on the author's own experiences (and teaching) within various art and theory worlds, as well as with performance, magical practices, gaming, and Buddhism.

Résumé:
In "Exit interview," the prominent art critics and historians Hal Foster and Benjamin Buchloh discuss their intellectual foundations and the projects they've worked on together, from October magazine to Art Since 1900. Through three engaging conversations, Foster engages Buchloh on his early influences and aspirations, his formative years in Berlin, London, and Dusseldorf, and his career in North America, while exploring the impact of other art historians and critics. Buchloh candidly addresses his successes, critical significance, and unexplored avenues in art history, providing a unique window into his motivations and experiences. With a powerful postface by Buchloh, "Exit interview" builds from biography and anecdote to important reflection on one's critical life as a whole.
