Résumé:
A mountain of chairs piled between buildings. Shoes sewn behind animal membranes into a wall. A massive crack running through the floor of Tate Modern. These works by sculptor Doris Salcedo evoke the significance of bearing witness and processes of collective healing. Salcedo, who lives and works in Bogotá, roots her art in Colombia’s social and political landscape — including its long history of civil wars — with a poetic sensibility that balances the gravitas of her subjects.

Résumé:
Way Station extends the January 2015 exhibition by Shannon Harvey, Adam Michaels, and Levi Murphy at Grice Bench, Los Angeles. At once static and dynamic, the book presents a journey through a series of landscapes, juxtaposed with a steadily spinning furniture form—that of the primary exhibition component, a set of colorful benches featuring ergonomics designed to heighten and transform physical and mental awareness. The book provides a particularly associative experience for a reader seated on a Way Station bench, while maintaining interest far beyond this setting. Shannon Harvey is a designer and colorist. Adam Michaels is the cofounder of design studio Project Projects, and founder of Inventory Press. Levi Murphy is a designer and founder of Communal Objects.

Résumé:
The Only Female Fool is how Isa Genzken describes herself in the self-chosen title of her exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien. This statement is typical of the fluid boundaries between deep seriousness and the exuberant, eccentric spirit that pervades her work. Genzken’s artistic practice is characterized by a wide spectrum of media and forms, although her roots in sculpture always remain visible. The exhibition and catalogue focus on specific aspects of her oeuvre, including the mirror motif, the examination of architecture, and space as a social sphere; where early works are juxtaposed with series from later creative periods

Résumé:
In his lifetime, "Xanti" (Alexander) Schawinsky (1904-79) was best known for his work in the theater department at the Bauhaus. Fleeing Germany before the beginning of the Second World War, he landed at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where in the 1930s he developed his theory of the "Spectodrama." Involving multimedia productions examining elementary phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound or color from scientific, technical and performance-based perspectives, the Spectodrama represents an early form of the "happening." Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky also worked as a painter and graphic designer.

Résumé:
Like a journey into the heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Serge Clément’s work draws the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image. As the images accumulate, they create an imaginary density of timeless fragments. For Clément, photography has always been closely related to the book, particularly along the idea that an image refers to other images. On one hand, it signifies that an image is a leaky container with smoke, fog, streams and rivers, reflections, and streets running across the image. On the other, Serge Clément constantly questions the power of the photographic image to capture reality. A certain street, a certain perspective, this deserted place, the passers-by are not tied to a clearly identifiable world, but belong to the abstract universe of an essentially imaginary city. It is not important to know whether the place in question is Montreal or Tokyo, the viewer may rather lose himself between several places.

Résumé:
For more than five decades, Dan Graham has been a force in the world of conceptual art, creating works that surprise, unsettle, and stretch the boundaries of what people expect when they set out to view art. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment is Pavilions, a series of walk-through glass installations that place architectural elements in space, thereby altering a viewer’s perception of his or her surroundings. The resulting estrangement is bracing, enabling viewers to rediscover and re-experience the very concept of spatial dimension itself. Buildings and Signs. 1978 Models celebrates Graham’s pavilions through numerous images accompanied by the artist’s commentaries exploring their place in his oeuvre and the various conceptual and artistic breakthroughs they represent.

Résumé:
Hausmann fait éclater les catégories, les habitudes, les certitudes. «Plus grand agitateur culturel» du Berlin des années 1920, selon son ami Franz Jung, il inaugure une autre manière de vivre - comme une préhistoire de la contre-culture des années 1970. Depuis Dada jusqu'aux développements qu'il donne au mouvement après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, période la plus méconnue de son oeuvre mais non la moins fertile, Raoul Hausmann démontre sans relâche que, résolument, «l'homme nouveau doit avoir le courage d'être nouveau». A partir d'archives inédites, cet ouvrage fait dialoguer Hausmann avec ses contemporains, Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, Cari Einstein, Otto Gross, Leo Frobenius, ou encore Walter Benjamin, qui se trouvait à Ibiza au même moment que lui.

Résumé:
Since the 1970s, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten (born 1936) has developed her expansive practice of photography through the lens of many disciplines, including sculpture, painting, theater, textile and installation. Kasten was one of the first artists to be invited by Polaroid to use its new large-format film, and it was with this that she made many of her best-known works. In the mid-1980s she stepped out of the studio and began working with large architectural spaces that were symbolic of both economic and cultural capital.
