Résumé:
This book presents the artistic avant-gardes of the last five decades as a tapestry of incidents as fascinating and unlikely as any collection of myths or legends. Thinking more of Kafka's ''Parables'' than Vasari's ''Lives of the Artists,'' Rubinstein composes a series of micro-narratives celebrating the mystery and ingeniousness of these human activities which, for lack of a better term, we call ''contemporary art.'' Each of the fifty episodes in ''The Miraculous'' is a detailed telling of the circumstances surrounding a single work of art; only the name of the artist is withheld until the end of the book.

Résumé:
Because feminism has suddenly become a fashionable commodity, were in desperate need of a more inclusive and varied reflection on contemporary girlhood, cross-cultural feminism, and the relationship between gender, politics, and philosophy. "Sense and Sensibility" wishes to explore oppositions and contradictions between objects and subjects, between gender identities, and between theory and visual modes of culture here and now. A book that works as part reader and part exhibition document presents the thought processes of four female artists points of view. It features a collection of autonomous work, research outcomes, reflections, essays, interviews, columns, letters, and notes on contemporary feminism by a variety of artists and academics, writers, rioteers, curators and journalists.

Résumé:
In Soviet Salvage, Catherine Walworth explores how artists on the margins of the Constructivist movement of the 1920s rejected “elitist” media and imagined a new world, knitting together avant-garde art, imperial castoffs, and everyday life. Applying anthropological models borrowed from Claude Lévi-Strauss, Walworth shows that his mythmaker typologies—the “engineer” and “bricoleur”—illustrate, respectively, the canonical Constructivists and artists on the movement’s margins who deployed a wide range of clever make-do tactics. Walworth explores the relationships of Nadezhda Lamanova, Esfir Shub, and others with Constructivists such as Aleksei Gan, Varvara Stepanova, and Aleksandr Rodchenko. Together, the work of these artists reflected the chaotic and often contradictory zeitgeist of the decade from 1918 to 1929 and redefined the concept of mass production. Reappropriated fragments of a former enemy era provided a wide range of play and possibility for these artists, and the resulting propaganda porcelain, film, fashion, and architecture tell a broader story of the unique political and economic pressures felt by their makers. An engaging multidisciplinary study of objects and their makers during the Soviet Union’s early years, this volume highlights a group of artists who hover like free radicals at the border of existing art-historical discussions of Constructivism and deepens our knowledge of Soviet art and material culture.
