Résumé:
Each essay in this groundbreaking volume—the first in an exciting new series from the ''Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts'' —engages aesthetic and cultural debates that situate research on the arts at the intersection of various disciplines, including architecture, film, literature, curatorial and museum studies, and the arts of performance. Reflecting the series’ goal to engage with different cultural contexts and time periods, newly commissioned essays from emerging and established scholars address subjects ranging from medieval dance and ancient Assyrian reliefs to expressions of gender embodiment and the art of the Afro-Atlantic. First-person narratives ground theoretical considerations of the theme. Reflecting a commitment to embracing the book form as a space for art itself, ''Art & Histories'' includes a detachable accordion-fold insert with a work from Miami-based artist Glexis Novoa. One of his signature horizon lines unites Washington, DC, and the artist’s native Havana. Meticulous drawings executed on travertine marble entangle the two cities and their monuments, symbolizing both violent and triumphant histories and their ideological reversals.

Joan Mitchell (1925–1992), one of the most important artists of the post-war period, is also a uniquely transatlantic figure. From the 1950s onward, as Mitchell shuttled back and forth between the United States and France, her work—and the discourse around it—developed across two continents, two cultures, and two languages.

Résumé:
Une exploration pionnière de l'évolution des fonctions fondamentales des écrans dans l'histoire (du corps comme proto-écran aux dispositifs portables d'aujourd'hui), de leurs implications anthropologiques et philosophiques, et de leur impact profond sur la culture humaine, offrant un récit éloquent sur notre réalité médiatisée. Les écrans ne se limitent pas à montrer ou cacher : depuis la préhistoire, ils servent d'intermédiaires dans notre relation au monde en protégeant autant qu'en exposant nos corps. À travers une enquête historico-généalogique et une analyse aussi bien des technologies présentes que du futur proche, les auteurs déconstruisent l'idée selon laquelle les écrans seraient inséparables des images, que celles-ci s'opposeraient aux mots, ainsi que ce qu'ils nomment idéologie de la « Transparence 2.0 », à savoir la prétention de pouvoir éliminer toute médiation tant en communication qu'en politique. Ils montrent également que les technologies portables ne nous rapprochent nullement d'une supposée disparition des écrans, mais semblent plutôt dessiner un quasi-retour à l'utilisation de notre corps, cette fois-ci « augmenté », comme écran. Cela soulève de nouvelles questions relationnelles, éthiques et politiques, que le livre contribue à éclairer.

Résumé:
Part flight of fancy, part Star Trek set, part seemingly drug-induced delusion, Globus Cassus is a solution to a global dilemma, which remains the same size while housing an ever-increasing global population. The catalyst for the project as described by its creator, artist Christian Waldvogel: "The rapidly increasing population notice that their planet will soon be too small. The Earth is dismantled to provide building material. This is taken away to create Globus Cassus, a new, much bigger habitat, thought out from scratch." And so begins the story of converting the Earth into a gigantic hollow structure. The project, precisely worked out and described in detail, breaks through the bounds of architecture to continue the story of our great contemporary Utopias. Globus Cassus is the core of the Swiss contribution to the 9th Architecture Biennale in Venice, and this book examines the novel project through a series of drawings, diagrams, and photographs of three-dimensional models.

Résumé:
Determined to recover the value of aesthetic experience for artistic, cultural, and social analysis, the contributors to this volume-prominent scholars in literature, philosophy, art history, architecture, history, and anthropology-begin from a shared recognition that ideological readings of the aesthetic have provided invaluable insights, in particular, that analyses of aesthetics within historical and social contexts tell us a great deal about the experience of aesthetic encounters. From multiple and complementary perspectives, the contributors address topics as varied as Nabokov and Dickens, Caravaggio and Shelley Winters, gender and sexuality, advertising and AIDS. Taken together, their essays constitute a sustained and multifarious effort to resituate aesthetic pleasure in the mixed, impure conditions characteristic of every social practice and experience, however privileged or marginalized, and to ask what happens to the aesthetic if we consider it apart from-or at least in tension with-its historically dominant discursive formulations. Contributors : Leo Bersani, Susan Bordo, Bill Brown, Beatriz Colomina, Ulysse Dutoit, Lee Edelman, Maureen Harkin, Howard Horwitz, Audrey Jaffe, Martin Jay, Kay Bea Jones, Robert Kaufman, Alphonso Lingis, Joseph Litvak, Douglas Mao, Barbara Stafford, Kathleen Stewart, Kathryn Bond Stockton, Judith Stoddart, Michael Taussig.

Was it Joseph Cornell's dossiers on ballerinas and artists that first proposed the model of the archive as a creative storehouse, a vehicle for the ordering of chaotic fragments? Over the past 30 years, successive generations have taken wide-ranging approaches to archives, most of them (like Cornell) concentrating on photographic and filmic collections. Organized and written by renowned scholar and ICP Adjunct Curator Okwui Enwezor, and taking its title from Jacques Derrida's book of the same name, Archive Fever gathers leading contemporary artists who use archival materials in the fabrication of their work.

Résumé:
A l'heure où les technologies numériques tendent à contrôler de plus en plus étroitement la sphère de la communication et de l'art dans le monde, et bouleversent nos relations avec les images, Edmond Couchot dévoile ici les articulations cachées qui lient ces dernières aux machines, mais aussi au temps. Toute image sécrète une temporalité qui lui est propre et ne livre son sens que si le regardeur la partage. A partir de ce constat, l'auteur décrit l'évolution des images et de la temporalité qui les caractérise, de l'icône médiévale à l'image numérique, lorsque leur production, après avoir requis la main des peintres, mobilise des machines de plus en plus complexes et autonomes. Edmond Couchot souligne en particulier les changements radicaux que nous vivons actuellement avec l'émergence d'une nouvelle temporalité imposée par les machines numériques (ordinateurs, réseaux mondiaux de communication, jeux électroniques ou dispositifs artistiques). Une temporalité qui affecte profondément nos comportements quotidiens et les fondements mêmes de notre culture. Toute notre manière de vivre et de concevoir le temps est à réinventer.

Résumé:
Occult practices, seances and magic have traditionally been met with suspicion in the world of high culture, but they are currently getting a fresh look. Turns out, they have long had a quiet influence on art--at least since the mid-1800s. The Message demonstrates this fascinating history with paranormal-influenced paintings, drawings and thought photographs, a term for the phenomenon of imprinting an image from one's mind directly onto a photographic medium--something we've all at least wished we could do... By the early eighteenth century, the occult had found a home in the arts with the advent of Surrealism--in 1933, Andre Breton discussed these inexplicable phenomena in his text, The Automatic Message. This publication borrows its name from Breton's text; and features early-twentieth-century photographs of seances from the archive of parapsychologist Albert von Schrenck-Notzing, which vividly illustrate Breton's ideas
