Résumé:
Since achieving an international reputation in the early 1990s with casts of empty architectural spaces such as "House" and "Ghost", Rachel Whiteread has gone on making complex, subtle and often provocative works that consistently grab public attention. In pieces such as "Water Tower" in New York and her Holocaust Memorial in Vienna, Whiteread’s work is at once immensely reflective, both in its reference to history and to social or political situations of the present, and aware of its place within art history. In "The Art of Rachel Whiteread" a group of leading critics from museums and universities in Europe and North America examine the full range of Whiteread’s work, from the early domestic pieces of the late 1980s, through to her most recent public art projects such as "Monument" and "Room 101". These essays examine both the art historical legacy of post-minimalism within which Whiteread works and the historical commentaries that her site specific projects engender, and they suggest new critical approaches to what is likely to be one of the most enduring artistic projects of our time.

Résumé:
Born in Cologne in 1936 and based in New York since 1965, Haacke’s strong political, cultural and social concerns are reflected in his installations, texts and sculptures. Throughout his fifty-year career Haacke has frequently changed the presentation of his art to get his message across. Often borrowing from non-art sources such as corporate advertising, questionnaires or scientific experimentation, Haacke is probably the most successful and best-known late twentieth-century artist to create a political art that manages to hit its mark with succinct elegance. Haacke sometimes works almost as a sleuth-like reporter, uncovering museum politics in his art. This practice has famously led on occasion to museum officials cancelling his exhibitions. For example, his 1971 one-person show at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, was cancelled in response to his proposal to present the questionable real estate dealings of several New York companies. Haacke is a unique figure in post-war art, and his work has touched on such diverse movements as Conceptual, Pop, Minimal and Land art. His integrity as well as the formal innovations of his art have proven hugely influential for many generations of contemporary artists.

Résumé:
In late 1960 Michael Snow made several naturalistic flat cut-out cardboard figures which used the/a wall as their background. In early 1961, to make one of these, he drew—then cut out with a matte knife—a side view of a female figure walking, 152 cm tall, within a drawn rectangle on a piece of cardboard. All his work between 1961 and 1967 used the outline or silhouette of(...)

Résumé:
In late 1960 Michael Snow made several naturalistic flat cut-out cardboard figures which used the/a wall as their background. In early 1961, to make one of these, he drew—then cut out with a matte knife—a side view of a female figure walking, 152 cm tall, within a drawn rectangle on a piece of cardboard. All his work between 1961 and 1967 used the outline or silhouette of the original cut-out as both tool and subject. "Biographie" is a 2004 The Walking Woman work which consists of the juxtaposition and the many-sided sequential ordering of a selection from these deliberate, inadvertent, and by-chance photographic documents. It is a Finnegan’s Wake, non-chronological biography. / À la fin des années 1960, Michael Snow réalisa plusieurs découpages naturalistes de figurines en carton en utilisant le mur comme arrière plan. Au début de 1961, il dessina, puis découpa la silhouette de profil d’une femme marchant, haute de 152 cm, dans un morceau de carton.Tout son travail, entre 1961 et 1967, utilise le profil ou la silhouette de la découpe originale aussi bien comme outil que comme sujet. Le livre "Biographie" est un livre d’artiste qui consiste en la juxtaposition et l’ordonnancement séquentiel de documents photographiques délibérés, inopinés ou aléatoires, conjuguant les apparitions ordinaires et sublimes de La femme qui marche. C’est une biographie non chronologique à la Finnegan’s Wake.
