Résumé:
Fairland is a wide-ranging collection of analytical standpoints and possible visions on the role of the art fair as a temporary realm of possibility - a vivid metaphor of our time. Exploring the phenomenon of 'fairization' as a physical body, or rather, a symbolic territory, the book gathers words and images by authors coming from different disciplines, spanning from the curatorial field to ethnological studies, from economic history, to architecture and visual art practices.

Now that we 'curate' even lunch, what happens to the role of the connoisseur in contemporary culture? 'Curate' is now a buzzword, applied to everything from music festivals to artisanal cheese. Inside the art world, the curator reigns supreme, acting as the face of high-profile group shows and biennials in a way that can eclipse and assimilate the contributions of(...)

Résumé:
Now that we 'curate' even lunch, what happens to the role of the connoisseur in contemporary culture? 'Curate' is now a buzzword, applied to everything from music festivals to artisanal cheese. Inside the art world, the curator reigns supreme, acting as the face of high-profile group shows and biennials in a way that can eclipse and assimilate the contributions of individual artists. Curatorial-studies programs continue to grow, and the business world is adopting curation as a means of adding value to content. Everyone, it seems, is a curator. But what is a curator, exactly? And what does the explosive popularity of curating say about our culture's relationship with taste, labour and the avant-garde? In this vibrant, revelatory and original study, David Balzer travels through art history and around the globe to explore the cult of curation, from superstar curator Hans Ulrich Obrist's war with sleep to Subway's 'sandwich artists.' Recalling such landmark works of cultural criticism as Tom Wolfe's The Painted Word and John Berger's Ways of Seeing, Curationism will change the way you look at art - and maybe even the way you see yourself.

Keller Easterling’s volume in the Critical Spatial Practice series analyzes the urgency of building subtraction. Often treated as failure or loss, subtraction—when accepted as part of an exchange—can be growth. All over the world, sprawl and overdevelopment have attracted distended or failed markets and exhausted special landscapes. However, in failure, buildings can(...)

Keller Easterling’s volume in the Critical Spatial Practice series analyzes the urgency of building subtraction. Often treated as failure or loss, subtraction—when accepted as part of an exchange—can be growth. All over the world, sprawl and overdevelopment have attracted distended or failed markets and exhausted special landscapes. However, in failure, buildings can create their own alternative markets of durable spatial variables that can be managed and traded by citizens and cities rather than the global financial industry.

Résumé:
(Curating) From A to Z offers a summary of the development of curatorial practice over the last two decades seen through the eyes of curator Jens Hoffmann. In this publication each letter of the alphabet evokes a particular word related to the world of exhibition making: From A (as in Artist) and B (as in Biennial) to R (as in Retrospective) and W (as in White Cube). Employing a diarist style, the curator presents his personal curatorial alphabet with a similar transparency and the same idiosyncratic character revealed in many of his exhibitions.

Le terme "curating", qu'on traduit souvent par commissariat d'exposition, n'a pas de véritable équivalent en français. Dans cette conférence tenue à l'École normale supérieure de Paris, il apparaît que l'essentiel du travail du curator réside dans la discussion avec les artistes et la maïeutique de la pensée.

Résumé:
Définie en 1848 comme science des milieux, la mésologie est née des travaux d'un disciple d'Auguste Comte, le médecin Charles Robin. Sous l'influence de la phénoménologie, elle a été refondée sur d'autres bases au XXe siècle par le naturaliste Jakob von Uexküll - précurseur de l'éthologie et de la biosémiotique - et par le philosophe Tetsurô Watsuji. Tous deux - Uexküll au niveau du vivant en général, Watsuji à celui de l'humain en particulier - introduisent un double principe : d'une part, dans sa relation à l'environnement, l'être n'est pas un objet, mais un sujet qui interprète activement l'environnement pour en élaborer son milieu propre ; d'autre part, le milieu ne doit pas être confondu avec le donné brut de l'environnement.
