Résumé:
The ways we encounter contemporary art and performance is changing. Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design. How are we expected to engage with today's diverse practise? Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling? Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice - research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernist architecture - and their challenges to traditional modes of attention. Charting a critical path through the last three decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures of digital technology.

Résumé:
Published in Icelandic in 1994, ''Under the Wings of the Valkyrie'' is the work that established Sjón's literary career. Short and intense, the story unfolds through a letter from Icelandic architect Fridjón B. Fridriksson to his wife, revealing his lifelong obsession with German militant Gudrun Ensslin, of the Baader-Meinhof gang. He first glimpsed her on TV as a child and now Ensslin lingers in his dreams and has become the defining fixture of his psyche. To break free from Ensslin, and salvage his marriage, Fridjón resorts to drastic measures. Disturbing yet captivating, ''Under the Wings of the Valkyrie'' blurs the lines between passion and madness, fantasy and reality.

Résumé:
Larry Neal, a poet, dramatist, and critic, was a founding figure of the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s and 1970s in New York. Writing as the arts editor for Liberator magazine, a radical journal published in Harlem, Neal called for Black artists to produce work that was politically oriented, rooted in the Black experience, and written for the Black community. Engaging with fiction, music, drama, and poetry in his texts, he challenged the dominance of the Western art-historical canon and charged Black artists and writers with reshaping artistic traditions according to their own history. As he proclaimed in his essay "The Black Writer’s Role," written in 1966, "Black writers must listen to the world with their whole selves––their entire bodies. Must make literature move people. Must want to make our people feel, the way our music makes them feel."

The captioning program, NeuralTalk, is one of the first machine vision models designed to write sentences that describe images' contents rather than simply identifying the objects present within them.

Résumé:
"A shadow of a man in the mirror" present stills taken from the 1934 experimental film "Hands" captioned with 'subtitles' created using image-to-text software. The captioning program, NeuralTalk, is one of the first machine vision models designed to write sentences that describe images' contents rather than simply identifying the objects present within them. This book exposes the limits of object recognition technologies; the inaccurate outcomes make explicit the unstable relation between images and what they are deemed to represent. An accidental poetry often arises from the erratic space of the machine.

Résumé:
In this classic meditation on the problem of style in art history, the author describes how art forms change over time. Although he argues that the development of art is irreducible to external political, social, or economic determinants, one of his great achievements was to lodge a concept of autonomous formal mutation within the shifting domain of materials and techniques. Focillon emphasizes the presence of nonsynchronous tendencies within styles that give to artworks a manifold and stratified character.

Résumé:
Ce livre raconte et interroge les pratiques qui se firent jour à la Salpêtrière, du temps de Charcot, autour de l'hystérie. A travers les procédures cliniques et expérimentales, à travers l'hypnose et les " présentations " de malades en crise (les célèbres " leçons du mardi "), on découvre l'espèce de théâtralité stupéfiante, excessive, du corps hystérique. On la découvre ici à travers les images photographiques qui nous en sont restées, celles des publications, aujourd'hui rarissimes, de l'Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière. Mais l'analyse de ces images révèle aussi l'acte de mise en scène dont les hystériques furent l'objet de la part des médecins. Charcot fut là un " artiste ", mais dans quel sens ? C'est à quoi ce livre introduit. Freud fut le témoin de tout cela, et son témoignage devint la confrontation d'une écoute toute nouvelle de l'hystérie avec ce spectacle de l'hystérie que Charcot mettait en oeuvre. Témoignage qui nous raconte les débuts de la psychanalyse sous l'angle du problème de l'image.
