Recapitulative publication about Le Magasin, Centre National d’Art Contemporain de Grenoble. Considered, since its opening in 1986, a model rehabilitation of an abandoned industrial site for contemporary art, Le Magasin of Grenoble is emerging from a period of renovation. For its reopening, the center wished to publish an assessment of its activity. The book reunites exhaustive documentation on the programming of the three successive directors, and chose to highlight certain projects, for the most part never published, of artists such as Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Robert Barry, Joseph Beuys, Alighiero Boetti, Monica Bonvicini, Daniel Buren, Chen Zhen, Sylvie Fleury, Liam Gillick & Philippe Parreno, Jack Goldstein, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, the GRAV, Jim Isermann, Ilya Kabakov, Mike Kelley, Barbara Kruger, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Matt Mullican, Richard Prince, Thomas Ruff, Allen Ruppersberg, Jim Shaw, Philippe Thomas, Xavier Veilhan, Lawrence Weiner, etc. Auteurs / authors : Paul Ardenne, Lionel Bovier, Laura Cottingham, Paul McCarthy, Stéphanie Moisdon Trembley, Frank Perrin, Eric Troncy.

Résumé:
Although known for his paintings and drawings, California artist Ed Ruscha has also attracted critical attention for his photography. A new exhibition and accompanying catalogue, "Ed Ruscha, photographer", depart from earlier books to explore how the artist’s different disciplines — painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography — are guided and shaped by a single vision. Ruscha’s relationship to photography is complex and ambivalent, and the work is difficult to define. He has referred to his photography as a “hobby” but from the outset it has drawn considerable critical interest. The small books of photographs that Ruscha produced in the sixties and seventies earned him a reputation as an underground artist among his peers, and have influenced subsequent generations of artists in Europe and North America. The photographs were snapshot size, with an amateurish quality that intrigued his contemporaries. Neither purely documentary nor solely artistic, their subject matter was stereotypical and banal, with motifs drawn from sites in Southern California or the western United States. This, combined with their serial presentation, created a mythical road-movie or photo-novel effect with Beat Generation innuendos and inspired interest among artists at a time when serial logic was prominent in Pop art and Minimalism, and later in Conceptual art. This volume is produced in conjunction with a traveling exhibition to be shown in Europe in 2006, organized by The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The exhibition photographs have been selected from the collections of the Whitney and the artist by independent curator Margit Rowell.

Malgré l'interdiction proclamée par la République, affiches, pochoirs ou graffitis rehaussent de couleurs l'environnement des citadins. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau. Depuis quarante ans, des plasticiens questionnent la ville et y exposent leurs œuvres. Aujourd'hui cependant, une nouvelle génération d'artistes, dont beaucoup ont grandi le Posca à la main, revisite l'esthétique de la rue. Après l'effervescence des années 80 et la répression des années 90, cette " nouvelle vague " marie les techniques, multiplie les supports et développe un langage plastique original en marge des circuits officiels. C'est à un panorama de l'art urbain que In Situ nous convie. L'ouvrage revient sur l'apparition et le développement de cette mouvance foisonnante et dresse un état des lieux des pratiques. Les artistes y racontent leur parcours, expliquent leur démarche, analysent et commentent un mode d'expression dont la vitalité séduit les citadins.

Résumé:
Vera Röhm’s name comes up in discussions of contemporary constructive art as an unorthodox example of the sculptural approach. Since the beginning of her artistic career she has been concerned with a repertoire of elementary geometric shapes. Her approach plays upon different kinds of distortion: incisions, cross-sections, mutilation and restoration/reconstruction; which bring about an increased richness of form and complexity, and challenge the viewer’s imagination. Metamorphosis of materials in "Integrations", multiplication of shapes in "Shadow Objects", not to forget her photographs of the Jaipur Observatory – all of these offer unexpected angles on the real world. When her works include written words – as is the case with her cube-series bearing the inscription "Night Is The Shadow of The Earth" – this can be associated with Concrete Poetry. Her work in general also falls within the tradition of Constructivism, although there is an almost temperamental inclination to geometrical form, which is always manifest in the rich variations of shape that inform her sculptures. This first comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work in the English language is accompanied by essays by the poet and critic Eugen Gomringer and the art historian Stephen Bann.

Résumé:
Pioneering conceptual artist Vito Acconci began his career as a poet. In the 1960s, before beginning his work in performance and video art, Acconci studied at the Iowa Writers Workshop and published poems in journals and chapbooks. Almost all of this work remains unknown; much of it appeared in the self-produced magazines of the Lower East Side's mimeo revolution, and many other pieces were never published. Language to Cover a Page collects these writings for the first time and not only shows Acconci to be an important experimental writer of the period, but demonstrates the continuity of his early writing with his later work in film, video, and performance. "Language to cover a page" documents a key moment in the unprecedented intersection of artists and poets in the late 1960s - as seen in the Dwan Gallery's series of "Language" shows (1967-1970) and in Acconci's own journal 0 to 9. Indeed, as Acconci moved from the poetry scene to the art world, his poetry became increasingly performative while his artwork was often structured and motivated by linguistic play. Acconci's early writing recalls the work of Samuel Beckett, the deadpan voice of the nouveau roman, and the jump cuts and fraught permutations of the nouvelle vague. Poems in "Language to cover a page" explore the materiality of language ("language as matter and not ideas," as Robert Smithson put it), the physical space of the page, and the physicality of source texts (phonebooks, thesauruses, dictionaries). Other poems take the space of the page as an analogue to performance space or implicate the poem in a network of activity (as in his "Dial-a-Poem" pieces).
