Can "exit" and "disobedience", as envisioned by Virno, be considered as options from an artistic point of view? And what would an insistence on "status" or long-term projects as invoked by Boltanski/Chiapello look like if artists were to take on this strategy? How much can one count on pictures alone, as Mitchell seems to do? And, can pictures really change the "ways of worldmaking"?

Peter Saville wrote design history with his album covers for British bands such as Joy Division, New Order and Pulp, and with his work for fashion designers. Demand, Slimane, and Saville have all gone beyond the limitations of a single type of media to realize their ideas and visions. They discuss their work and motivation in a conversation in Berlin with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and the editor Cristina Bechtler, and also share their views on new forms of creativity, cross-border endeavors, fashion, architecture, photography, political art and many more subjects.

What aesthetic practices have Palestinians been employing throughout their revolutionary anti-colonial tradition, both historically and in contemporary times? How can we read the performative gestures, image-making techniques, and singing replete inPalestine’s streets as ones embedded within a collective psychosocial and material experience and not as arbitrary isolated events? In An Echo in Search of its Shadow, Aesthetics of the Repressed Adam HajYahia and Haitham Haddad formulate an aesthetic theory of revolt by examining anti-colonial praxis. Unfolding through analysis, image-making, and poetics, HajYahia and Haddad assemble a new framework from which to understand dialectics between the visual and the audial, body and soul, form and content.

L’exposition rassemble les œuvres des artistes Maude Arès, Geneviève Chevalier, Hannah Claus, Jim Holyoak, Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Fre´de´ric Lavoie, Angela Marsh, Kimberly Orjuela, Taqralik Partridge & Miranda Smitheram. En tentant d’adopter la perspective de l’hirondelle, du mulot ou encore du pissenlit, les œuvres réunies dans cette exposition décentrent notre regard. Elles nous enjoignent à considérer comment le territoire nous accueille et comment nous le partageons avec d’autres espèces, nous invitant à nous engager envers un monde pluriel, solidaire et profondément relationnel. Par des gestes de soin, des approches collaboratives de la création et une attention à l’éthique interspécifique, elles offrent une compréhension étendue de la notion d’hospitalité et nous encouragent à repenser nos manières « d’habiter ». Ensemble, elles explorent la possibilité d’« un monde en commun » où tous les vivants pourraient s’épanouir.

The future has been canceled or at least reduced to a perpetual extension of the present, or so we have been told many times by cultural theorists in recent decades. As the unfolding environmental crisis impels us to look ahead with a renewed sense of urgency, many now realize that these futures never went away. In Futures in the Making, Theo Reeves-Evison invites readers to explore the role of contemporary art and creative practice in shaping environmental futures. As well as looking at representations of these futures, he pays particular attention to the tools and techniques used to produce them. Tracing the genealogies of socio-technical practices such as scenario planning, prospecting, and geoengineering, the author argues that the ways pasts, presents, and futures are bridged represent a kind of infrastructure.

In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani. "My Morandi" is the first full-length English translation of Magnani’s memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi’s paintings. Magnani recounts the artist’s aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as chronicles their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi’s work at Magnani’s villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation.

Résumé:
''Paying Attention'' gathers nearly seventy of the best and varied examples of Lynne Tillman’s writings in reference to art and culture published over the course of forty years. In essays that operate outside typical categories or genres, Tillman reflects on forms including film, painting, photography, poetry, and fiction, as well as notions of fame, originality, embodied viewing and thinking, collective activity, aging, illness, American identity, cultural politics, modernity, strangeness, and time. Such is the stuff that relates art to life, and life to art. Collected mainly from museum and gallery catalogues, artists’ books and monographs, her column in ''Frieze'', and magazines including ''Aperture'' and ''Artforum'', these meditations on artists and writers, in the broadest sense of these labels, collide as a portrait of our cultural moment. Tillman’s inventive use of language and lateral thought, her ability to evoke conditions of the larger world in often just two thousand words on a specific artwork or individual, make her one of the most significant critics of our time. As she acknowledges, in a piece on the artist Robert Gober, “In writing on art, words reach for other words, phrases, idioms, and through them more images and ideas leap out.” In her introduction, Elizabeth Schambelan notes that a hallmark of Tillman’s writing alongside artists is an “elegant rendering of complexity,” and in approaching Tillman’s body of work and thought, Schambelan herself deftly imbricates the art, voice, and language of criticism.

While the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky has famously been credited for creating the first abstract artwork, this designation has been called into question with the resurfacing and renewed study of af Klint’s non-figurative paintings. In this captivating volume, the af Klint biographer and scholar Julia Voss and the curator and writer Daniel Birnbaum convey in depth the two artists’ nearly parallel development away from figuration and into the liberating, mystical vision of art. In this engrossing account of the affinities and divergences between af Klint and Kandinsky’s lives and work, supported by more than 100 illustrations, we are invited to witness the conditions in which the art world was forever changed.
