Résumé:
Since conceptualism, the field of art has become increasingly accustomed to playing host to its own critique, and recent decades have found institutions engaged in self-critique as if by mandate. Important notions of legibility, autonomy, and critical engagement that were once necessary to carve out a space for a critic or critical art publication have transposed themselves onto artistic production proper, and are now considered to be of equal importance to artist, curator, institution, and engaged audience member alike. This climate of disciplinary reconfiguration and geographic dispersal has made the art world a highly complex place — the objective position that once defined the role of a critic has been effectively replaced by a need to understand just how large and varied the whole thing has become. The urgent task has now become to engage the new intellectual territories in a way that can revitalize the critical vocabulary of contemporary art. Perhaps the most productive way of doing this is through a fresh approach to the function of an art journal as something that situates the multitude of what is currently available, and makes that available back to the multitude. The selection of essays included in this book seeks to highlight an ongoing topical thread that ran throughout the first eight issues of e-flux journal — a sequence of overlapping concerns passed on from one contribution to the next.

Résumé:
Ernst Gombrich est l'auteur d'une célèbre Histoire de l'art, vendue à plus d'un million d'exemplaires à travers le monde. Mais il est également un éminent spécialiste de la peinture de la Renaissance aussi bien que de la psychologie de la perception. En se confiant ici à Didier Eribon, il retrace sa trajectoire, évoque la multiplicité de ses centres d'intérêt, offre de saisissants portraits de quelques figures de l'art et de la pensée tels Oskar Kokoschka, Erwin Panofsky, Roman Jakobson, Karl Popper... C'est donc l'autoportrait d'un savant qui se compose au fil des pages, attaché à comprendre ce qu'est la création artistique et à défendre avec passion les conditions nécessaires pour qu'elle continue de vivre.

Résumé:
In the 1950s and 60s, Martin Heidegger turned to sculpture to rethink the relationship between bodies and space and the role of art in our lives. In his texts on the subject he formulates his later aesthetic theory, a thinking of relationality. Against a traditional view of space as an empty container for discrete bodies, these writings understand the body as already beyond itself in a world of relations and conceive of space as a material medium of relational contact.

Résumé:
What is a horizon? A line where land meets sky? The end of the world or the beginning of perception? In this brilliant, engaging, and stimulating history, Didier Maleuvre journeys to the outer reaches of human experience and explores philosophy, religion, and art to understand our struggle and fascination with limits—of life, knowledge, existence, and death. Maleuvre sweeps us through a vast cultural landscape, enabling us to experience each stopping place as the cusp of a limitless journey, whether he is discussing the works of Picasso, Gothic architecture, Beethoven, or General Relativity. If, as Aristotle said, philosophy begins in wonder, then this remarkable book shows us how wonder—the urge to know beyond the conceivable—is itself the engine of culture.
