Résumé:
Some of the earliest canals in colonial America, referred to as the ''Inner Passage'', were constructed by enslaved people living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in the early 1700s. In a paradox of history, for over a hundred years enslaved Black people used these canals, constructed for white plantation owners, to travel southward to freedom in Spanish Florida. In this book, Virginia McGee Richards documents the lost narrative of the ''Inner Passage'' through 60 extraordinary photographs of landscapes altered by slavery and portraits of Lowcountry descendants, along with an essay describing her discovery of this untold history. In an accompanying essay, Imani Perry writes about her own journey on the ''Inner Passage'', putting Black resistance to enslavement and Southern history into an immediate context. James Estrin brings decades of insight about photography and the power of visual storytelling to his affecting foreword. Together, these words and images offer a powerful living map of history.

Résumé:
''The Moment of Cubism'' is one of John Berger’s most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin’s poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin’s sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures – Picasso and Braque above all. He makes a case for Cubism’s revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.

La résistance ne se définit pas par ce qu'elle défend, mais par ce à quoi elle s'oppose. Face aux idéologies, aux croyances et aux systèmes de domination, elle se décline en formes multiples : militaire, civile, culturelle. Dans un contexte de crises politiques et sociales persistantes, la résistance culturelle s'affirme comme un mode d'action à part entière, doté de ses propres stratégies. En dialogue avec Elleux – étudiant·es de l'École supérieure d'art Annecy Alpes (Pallas Aleta, Nausicaä Bigot-Merceron, Hanna Ilnitskaya, Léa Lenormand-Van Den Reysen, Allan Madin, Grace Nitoumbi, Primo Ouvrard et Olena Yaroshevets), Alexis Nouss, auteur du texte, propose sept leçons pour penser et pratiquer une lutte de résistance spécifique.

Résumé:
''Junk Drawer: What We Leave Behind'' explores the personal objects that were once treasured by their owners yet were ultimately consigned to online “junk drawer” sales. Photographer and coeditor Barbara Von Eckardt acquired these random assortments from estate remnants on eBay and has documented their contents through evocative, sepia-toned images. In doing so, she has breathed new life into items the world had deemed valueless, but that hint at the stories and identities of those who once owned them. In addition to the photographs, Von Eckardt and coeditor Sander L. Gilman have gathered essays by scholars across disciplines, each offering a unique perspective on how such everyday objects can carry profound meaning. The result is a “junk drawer” of reflections, as varied and thought-provoking as the artifacts themselves. It is a moving testament to the emotional and cultural resonance of ordinary things—and an invitation to look more deeply at the objects surrounding us.

Résumé:
« Est-il possible de penser la technologie et l’IA à la lueur de la création artistique? ». C’est en essayant de répondre à cette question que Louis de Diesbach nous montre comment la puissance du monde artistique éclaire les limites de la technique, et comment nous pouvons repenser notre rapport à l’intelligence artificielle. Nourri de plus de cent vingt rencontres avec des acteurs du monde de l’art – artistes, philosophes, entrepreneurs, juristes… – Louis de Diesbach utilise la création artistique comme prisme pour interroger l’IA. Il révèle une résistance singulière : face à une technologie qui standardise, l’art nous montre notre besoin de nous arracher aux logiques strictement mathématiques. Cela étant, l’auteur de ce livre rappelle qu’il reste de nombreuses questions à aborder, de l’impact environnemental à la souveraineté numérique, en passant par le droit d’auteur et l’industrialisation. Penser l’IA, c’est aussi penser ces enjeux, pour nous permettre de rejeter le strictement statistique. Une invitation à considérer la technique par ce qu’elle ne peut capturer – la fragilité, l’inattendu, le vivant.

Résumé:
Easier to work with and cheaper than wood, linocut has long enabled artists to create affordable and versatile color prints. This beautifully illustrated book explores the origins of linocuts and presents key proponents of the printmaking technique, from Claude Flight, Sybil Andrews, Edward Bawden, and Cyril Power to modern and contemporary artists such as Pablo Picasso, Leopoldo Méndez, Tayo Quaye, and Grayson Perry, among others. An accessible and eye-catching introduction to the distinctive aesthetics of linocut, it will appeal to those with a love of modern and contemporary art as well as practicing artists everywhere. Following ''Screenprints'', this second volume in the V’s printmaking series offers a comprehensive history of linocut, from its emergence in the first decade of the twentieth century and its adoption by experimental modernist artists through to its establishment as a distinct and adaptable contemporary medium. The book celebrates high points of the practice, including the artists associated with the Grosvenor School during the 1920s and 1930s, the Great Bardfield community and, later, the Osogbo School in Nigeria. It also considers the global spread of linocut, and the evolution of new techniques and conversations in the current century, as exemplified by works from artists such as Khaleb Brooks and Thomas Kilpper. Examples are drawn from the extensive collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, with a contextual and historical introduction followed by a series of thematic chapters.

Résumé:
We seem to have invented every way to deconstruct and decode words: from the Speak & Spell to Hooked on Phonics, from Google Translate to smartphone picture-to-text apps. Yet how does language continue to elude us? From Swiss designer Laurenz Brunner comes Dictionary of the Illegible, a one-of-a-kind research project dedicated to illegible typography. This tome archives more than 250 examples drawn from the beginning of visual culture to the hypersaturated media ecosystem of the 21st century. Works by Albrecht Dürer, Hilma af Klint, Roland Barthes, Bruno Munari, Max Ernst and Paul Klee sit alongside equally puzzling screen captures from Family Guy, Jeopardy!, Doctor Who, The Simpsons and Star Trek. Each entry presents distinctive typographic forms that push against conventional notions of "readability" while opening up new possibilities for visual interpretation.
