Résumé:
'Corporate Imaginations' examines the group as it emerged on three continents from 1962 to 1978 in its complexities, contradictions, and historical specificity. The collective’s founder, George Maciunas, organized Fluxus like a multinational corporation, simulating corporate organization and commodity flows, yet it is equally significant that he imagined critical art practice in this way at that time. For all its avant-garde criticality, Fluxus also ambivalently shared aspects of the rising corporate culture of the day. In this book, Mari Dumett addresses the “business” of Fluxus and explores the larger discursive issues of organization, mediatization, routinization, automation, commoditization, and systematization that Fluxus artists both manipulated and exposed. A study of six central figures in the group—George Brecht, Alison Knowles, George Maciunas, Nam June Paik, Mieko Shiomi, and Robert Watts—reveals how they developed historically specific strategies of mimicking the capitalist system.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage problématise la notion de culture en tentant de rendre compte de ses enjeux dans le cadre d’une réflexion sur l’art et la mémoire. Il s’agit, à travers un véritable essai, de se demander ce qu’un anthropologue, travaillant sur les notions de mémoire et de restes, peut arriver à dire, à échanger avec un artiste contemporain qui lui aussi travaille sur la mémoire, en particulier dans l’espace public.En suivant l’analyse d’une trentaine d’œuvres de Jochen Gerz, artiste allemand internationalement connu, né à Berlin en 1940, ce livre s’interroge sur cette tendance qu’une partie de l’art contemporain entretient avec la notion d’œuvres ouvertes, d’œuvres participatives, pensées dans et pour l’espace public. Les processus de création de nombre de ses œuvres, dispositifs ou mémoriaux, invitent à faire du moment de réception de l’art un temps constitutif de l’oeuvre. En proposant aux gens de participer, en creusant un « déficit des œuvres », Gerz laisse une place vacante, des objets partiels, une mémoire que le spectateur s’oblige à revisiter à partir de lui-même. Dans cette perspective, son travail propose à l’art de se défaire du rôle passif qu’il réserve souvent à ses spectateurs et engage la mémoire à s’énoncer à partir du présent. De Dachau (1972), Harburg (1986), Sarrebruck (1993), Biron (1996), Berlin (1997), Paris (2000), Coventry (2004), jusqu’aux rues de Dortmund (2010), à travers l’Europe, qu’il compare à « un arbre sans ombre », Gerz conçoit des œuvres dédiées aux vivants. Pour qu’à la suite des monuments dédiés aux morts, à l’art funéraire, succède un art de revenir à la vie. Il dresse la liste des noms des vivants, parfois de leurs signatures, d’autre fois de leurs mots. Ces inventaires s’invitent dans les rues, consignent la vie, ordinaire, discrètement. Comme une ressemblance. Cet ouvrage est la première monographie consacrée entièrement à cet artiste conceptuel et de l’espace public. Le livre se construit autour de nombreux entretiens menés par l’auteur avec Jochen Gerz, pendant plus deux ans (entre 2013 et 2015). Il propose une réflexion sur la place des objets dans l’œuvre de Gerz mais également en référence à d’autres artistes (comme Duchamp, Sarkis, Boltanski, Christo…) ou écrivains (Primo Levi, Marcel Cohen…). En plus du texte (français/anglais), l’ouvrage présente, dans un cahier descriptif, l’ensemble des œuvres auxquelles le texte fait référence ainsi que leurs photographies. Il est également accompagné de documents (photographies couleurs et noir et blanc) réalisées en Irlande, dans le lieu où vit Gerz depuis 2008, par Pierre Gaudin/Créaphis.

Résumé:
In this series, Lee captures the American southwest and transforms it with liquid light and diluted light-sensitive emulsions to create images that are as uncontrollable and natural as the landscape she depicts. Desert comprises four series of works (each bound as a separate book and presented in a unique slipcase), all of which contain monochromatic images of arid lands. Stratigraphy etched into rock faces, massive stones, cave-like precipices and anthropomorphic fauna showcase an extensive compendium of the desert’s many faces and textures. Each image focuses on the landscape’s formal qualities, eschewing human presence, simultaneously evoking late 19th-century photography, while epitomizing the stark modernity of Lee’s lens. “As a photographer,” writes Lee, “I am primarily concerned with the unconscious, the unknown, and the invisible.”
