Résumé:
Foraging for mushrooms with John Cage: writing, art, photography and ephemera from an idiosyncratic chapter in the composer's life Imagined as an extended mushroom-foraging expedition, John Cage: A Mycological Foray gathers together Cage’s mushroom-themed compositions, photographs, illustrations and ephemera. Indeterminacy Stories and other writings by Cage are interwoven throughout the first volume within a central essay examining Cage’s enduring relationship with mycology. Also included is a transcript of Cage’s 1983 performance, MUSHROOMS et Variationes. The second volume is the inaugural reproduction of Cage’s 1972 portfolio, Mushroom Book, authored in collaboration with illustrator Lois Long and botanist Alexander H. Smith. Readers are thus drawn through the landscape of Cage’s mycologically centred oeuvre and interests, discovering assorted works, images, compositions, philosophies and ephemera, as one might encounter assorted fungi and flora while foraging.

Résumé:
Ray Johnson (1927–1995) was a renowned maker of meticulous collages whose works influenced movements including Pop Art, Fluxus, and Conceptual Art. Emerging from the interdisciplinary community of artists and poets at Black Mountain College, Johnson was extraordinarily adept at using social interaction as an artistic endeavor and founded a mail art network known as the New York Correspondence School. Drawing on the vast collection of Johnson’s work at the Art Institute of Chicago, this volume gives new shape to our understanding of his artistic practice and features hundreds of pieces that include artist’s books, collages, drawings, mail art, and performance documentation. In keeping with Johnson’s democratic, rhizomatic, and antihierarchical ethos, this indispensable resource on the artist’s oeuvre contains 700 illustrations, many of them never before published, and twenty-one short essays by various contributors that allow readers to dip into and out of the book in a nonlinear manner.

Livre d'artiste. « Campo di Marte » a été conçu en mars 2020, à une époque où Nathalie Du Pasquier ne peignait pas. Après avoir découpé des photos de peintures réalisées entre les années 1980 et 2020, l'artiste les a ensuite placées dans une séquence comme s'il s'agissait d'une série de polices de caractères, en se concentrant uniquement sur leurs qualités formelles et sur la possibilité d'interprétation offerte par leur assemblage. Il en ressort un jeu de féerie, un surréalisme quotidien où les images constituent des sortes de phrases, entremêlées de divers éléments tirés du monde du livre : titres, poèmes ou simples calculs, époque où l'artiste était perdu pour les mots.

Résumé:
Marcel Duchamp's disguises and countless photographic self-portrayals, and his humorous commentaries on art, the art industry, art criticism, and art history, are legendary in word and image. Less well known is a Marcel Duchamp who, with great empathy and strategic awareness, embraced the cause of the artists in his contemporary cultural environment: as curator of exhibitions from the early 1910s to his death in 1968, as juror and consultant for some of the most important collections, museums, and galleries of modern art. The volume outlines nearly seventy exhibitions, supplemented by recent research findings, and illustrates Duchamp’s close cooperation with leading figures of his time, including Louise and Walter Conrad Arensberg, Katherine S. Dreier, Francis Picabia, Sidney and Harriet Janis as well as André Breton, Julien Levy, and Peggy Guggenheim.

Résumé:
Donald Judd (1928-1994) is one of the most influential American artists of the postwar era. Beginning in the 1960s, he developed new ideas about art--in both his works and writings--that challenged many of modernism's core tenets by resisting the categories of painting and sculpture. Judd described this work as "specific objects." Critics labeled it minimalism. Perhaps because Judd's own critical writings provide a discursive framework for his work, some of the monographic essays on his work are not widely known. This volume collects critical and scholarly writings on Judd, examining his work as both artist and critic.

Résumé:
Une série de natures mortes et de scènes d'intérieur de l'artiste suisse. Caro Niederer (née en 1963 in Zurich) est, aux côtés de Pipilotti Rist et de Sylvie Fleury, l'une des femmes artistes suisses contemporaines les plus populaires. Son travail englobe divers médiums et techniques : peinture, photographie, vidéo, mais aussi tapisserie sur soie. Les situations quotidiennes de sa vie privée et de son environnement immédiat sont la source de la plupart des œuvres de Niederer. Ces instantanés personnels sont ensuite retravaillés en peintures ou servent de modèle à d'énormes tapis de soie noués à la main, que l'artiste fait fabriquer en Chine. La transformation d'une image par sa reproduction sur un autre support est un thème central de son œuvre. Dans une série de photos intitulée Intérieurs, Niederer photographie in situ ses œuvres vendues, dans les maisons et les bureaux de leurs nouveaux propriétaires.

By carefully lighting her collages, she manages to give the paper relief a third dimension; the flat surface comes to life.

Résumé:
In her work, visual artist Popel Coumou plays with the main elements of photography: light, paper, and the perception of reality. By carefully lighting her collages, she manages to give the paper relief a third dimension; the flat surface comes to life. She creates empty spaces, compositions and graphic lines verging on the abstract. Figures rarely appear in her work, but there is always a sign of recent human presence, such as an empty chair or an open door. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at Fotomuseum Den Haag, ''Paper and light'' is an overview of Coumou’s work to date, including new work in an enlarged collage technique, specially produced for the museum.
