Résumé:
Cet ouvrage a été publié à l’occasion de l’exposition collective «Exercices de réciprocité / Exercices in Reciprocity», qui s’est tenue à la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement, au printemps 2022, sous le commissariat de Ji-Yonn Han. L’exposition regroupait les œuvres de sept artistes aux pratiques variées : Jérôme Nadeau, Katherine Melançon, Adam Basanta, Christina Battle, Mary Anne Barkhouse, Cynthia Girard-Renard, Ioana Vreme Moser. La proposition commissariale consistait à réunir les artistes non pas autour d’un sujet ou d’une esthétique particulière, mais plutôt sur la base d’un engagement envers la notion éthique de réciprocité. Les projets ont donc été développés puis déployés dans un esprit de dialogue et d’apprentissage, qui s’est tout d’abord exercé en collaboration avec Nicole O’Bomsawin, anthropologue, muséologue et conteuse, dans le cadre des partenariats de recherche du Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-Aki. Les principes de réciprocité et d’hospitalité ont guidé l’ensemble du processus, en cherchant à construire des relations éthiques et durables entre la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement et la Nation Waban-aki, gardienne ancestrale des terres qui l’accueille. Cette publication contient un texte de la commissaire qui présente comment l’exposition aborde le potentiel de l’art d’alimenter la recherche sur les manières holistiques d’habiter le monde. L’ouvrage comprend également les notices complètes des œuvres présentées dans l’exposition ainsi qu’un court texte pour chaque artiste, portant attention aux relations qui s’établissent entre les gestes artistiques, la conscience du monde et l’engagement envers la préservation de la diversité des écosystèmes.

Résumé:
As we spend our days increasingly glued to our computers and handheld devices, rapidly tapping keywords into Google, cutting and pasting Word docs and texting urgently truncated messages, it is becoming increasingly rare to pen anything by hand. No wonder hand-written fonts are all the rage in the world of graphic design. Writing, like drawing, has become an endangered act. Drawings on Text--which explores the idea that when a hand-written note is illegible, it becomes a drawing--is the third book in this series, edited by Dutch artist Serge Onnen. The handwritten can take many forms, from an illegibly scrawled letter to initials carved into a tree with a knife. A catholic selection of the hand-written-as-drawing is included in this innovative volume, which was first published in Zing magazine. Included are pieces by John Cage, Napoleon Bonaparte, Olav Westphalen, Roland Barthes, Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo, among others.

Résumé:
"The paper sculpture book" is published on the occasion of the traveling exhibition "The paper sculpture show", organized by Cabinet magazine, Independant Curators International (ICI), and SculptureCenter, and curated by ICI.

Fred Tomaselli merges images from a birding book and an outdoor-clothing catalogue to create an ironic yet beautiful aviary. Janine Antoni's Crumple provides precise instructions for recreating a crumpled ball of paper, while Luca Buvoli invites the reader to take a pop-up flying lesson from the mysterious Professor M.a.S.

Résumé:
The product of an international collective of artists, architects and writers who create collaborative projects and publications, this third edition of Surface Tension's Supplement series documents three years of artistic research, site-specific work and location-based practices in Curitiba, Brazil--providing an in-depth exploration of the city's economically marginal favela dwellers, who venture throughout the public spaces of Curitiba in search of recyclable materials. Documentation and texts elaborate on the cultural and political issues that come to light through various uses of public space. Originally developed as a collaborative installation between international and local artists--including Ken Ehrlich, Brandon LaBelle, Octávio Camargo and Guilherme Soares--exhibited at Curitiba's Ybakatu Gallery, this publication raises pertinent questions about the consequences of cross-cultural and site-specific collaboration and proffers an experimental approach toward political inquiry and intermedia practice.
