Résumé:
"Imaginative bodies" contains a series of in-depth conversations with dancers and choreographers, composers, visual artists, Hip Hop artists, dramaturgs, a lighting designer and a puppeteer. The overall theme is defined by the body, both in relation to the place it takes in the artist’s work, and in relation to wider debates on the body in philosophy, science, medicine, anthropology, and the arts. Depending on the affinities of the artist, a more specific theme has been defined for each dialogue, ranging from poetics to politics, from mythology to ecology, from intercultural studies to conflict management. The associative chains of thoughts of these talks give an intimate insight into the creative process, inspirations, sources, identity, and ways of collaborating. It is through the sentient body that we experience, know and imagine. "Imaginative bodies" reaffirms the central position of the body in many artistic practices.

Résumé:
"The practice of dramaturgy" addresses dramaturgy as a shared, politicized and catalytic practice that sets actions into motion in a more speculative, rather than an instructive way. The first part of this publication is 'Dramaturgy as working on actions', explores three working principles that lie at the heart of the editors' propositions, and relates these to debates on action, work and post-Fordist labour. The second part, 'Working on actions and beyond', opens up to different artistic, social and political perspectives that such understanding of dramaturgy may give rise to.

Résumé:
What really happens between a spectator and a work of art at the moment of encounter? How does one experience "meaning" in a work of art? How does an interpretation of an art object come to take hold for a viewer? How can that process of interpretation, which often takes place at a subconscious level beyond language, be understood and articulated? In "The perfect(...)

Résumé:
What really happens between a spectator and a work of art at the moment of encounter? How does one experience "meaning" in a work of art? How does an interpretation of an art object come to take hold for a viewer? How can that process of interpretation, which often takes place at a subconscious level beyond language, be understood and articulated? In "The perfect spectator", author Janneke Wesseling addresses these questions by turning to the field of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contemplation of art is a matter of interaction between an active artwork and an active observer. Wesseling proceeds from her own intensely personal encounters with art objects, and her professional experience studying and writing about art, in order to arrive at a new theoretical framework for the sight and contemplation of art.

Résumé:
This concise book introduces the notion of "experience" as a key concept in a methodology of artistic research. The author traces a genealogy of "experience" from William James, John Dewey and Alfred North Whitehead to Brian Massumi, placing this concept in a framework of research in visual art. The argument is founded in the practice of artistic research and in the reflection on the interweaving of thinking and making. This publication is a slightly extended version of Wesseling's inaugural lecture at Leiden University in September 2016. Included is a collaboration with the Austrian performance artist and PhD researcher Lilo Nein.

Résumé:
For Georges Didi-Huberman, artist James Turrell is an inventor of impossible spaces and unthinkable sites, of aporias, of fables. Creator of some of the most fascinating works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, Turrell uses as his medium the most elemental material of sight and art: light. One crucial aspect of his work is the fabulation of place and vision with its foundation deep in history. Didi-Huberman takes the reader on a journey between the impossible limit of the horizon and the arrival into a site of reverie and light, from the story of Exodus to the Pala d’Oro of San Marco’s Basilica in Venice, through art history and the origins of religious worship, finally plunging into Turrell’s cadmium dust and light, into the Painted Desert of his installation Roden Crater. For the esteemed art historian, Turrell’s artistic practice becomes the equivalent of walking along endless pathways in the desert, in “minuscule cathedrals where man discovers himself walking in color.”

Résumé:
"On knowledge production : a critical reader in contemporary art" presents a selection of newly commissioned and anthologized texts by a diverse group of artists, art historians, philosophers, and theorists who have engaged with thinking critically about the field of art as a site for the production of knowledge. The body of contributions in this reader comprise a series of critical inquiries, thought experiments, documents of practices, and tentative propositions about the status of producing knowledge in contemporary art, which vary widely in perspective, approach, and form. This selection unfolds different entry points and layers, unwrapping the (often) uncritically adopted notion of "art producing knowledge" and casting diverse views on the context, meaning, and potential of this understanding of art practices today.

Résumé:
La présente collection prolonge l'activité éditoriale de la revue Documents sur l'art, fondée en 1992. Elle rassemble textes et entretiens avec les acteurs du champ artistique actuel: critiques, artistes, commissaires, collectionneurs... Les artistes actuels évoluent dans un univers de produits en vente, de formes préexistantes, de signaux déjà émis, de bâtiments déjà construits, d’itinéraires balisés par leurs devanciers. Ils ou elles ne considèrent plus le champ artistique comme un musée contenant des œuvres qu’il faudrait citer ou "dépasser", ainsi que le voudrait l’idéologie moderniste du nouveau, mais comme autant de magasins remplis d’outils à utiliser, de stocks de données à manipuler, à rejouer et à mettre en scène. Version française de Postproduction, parue en anglais en 2001.

Résumé:
L'histoire de l'humanité racontée en quelque trois cents pages? Aussi audacieux que cela puisse paraître, c'est le pari que s'est lancé Ernst Gombrich, et qu'il a relevé avec brio. Il choisit de tutoyer ses lecteurs, tel un grand frère qui s'adresserait à ses cadets et, considérant que ceux-ci savent réfléchir par eux-mêmes, il ne les encombre pas d'explications simplistes. II leur présente les personnages historiques emblématiques de leur temps et raconte les faits dans leur continuité, comme s'il ne s'arrêtait pas de parler, insufflant au récit un sens du rapprochement et de la contemporanéité des événements. Un ouvrage formidable pour apprendre l'histoire sans en avoir l'air. Membre de l'école viennoise d'histoire de l'art, Sir Ernst Gombrich (1909-2001) a dirigé l'Institut Warburg à Londres de 1959 à 1976. Historien de l'art réputé pour ses travaux sur l'iconographie, la psychologie de l'art et les problèmes de méthodologie propre à sa discipline, il a publié deux synthèses au succès ininterrompu : Brève Histoire du monde et une Histoire de l'art traduite en dix-huit langues.
