Résumé:
''Painting Photography Painting'' is the essential first collection of essays by critic and theorist Carol Armstrong, bringing together writings encompassing the many inflection points of her academic work, including French painting, early photography, feminist theory, and the representation of women and gender in the visual arts. In the book’s titular essay, Armstrong asks of Ellen Gallagher’s 2008 painting ''An Experiment of Unusual Opportunity'', which depicts a barely-visible sea creature created out of ink, graphite, oil, varnish, and variously sliced paper, ‘in what sense is this a painting exactly?’ This enquiry into the very essence of the medium provides a thread that runs throughout the book’s wide-ranging essays and ties together a variety of works on paper ‘inscribed, drawn, printed, photographed, and variously pierced and punctured’.

Résumé:
Gathering contributions from artists, writers and theorists, Fieldwork for Future Ecologies addresses the role that art and art-based research plays in expanding notions of fieldwork. At once a research handbook and a philosophical speculation, it explores ways of working within diverse climates using image, sound, movement and other sensing technologies, and also offers more creative interventions into the idea of "the field" itself. Focusing on projects from various geographic locations and situations, the book highlights the crucial contribution that art can make to environmental and climate studies.

Résumé:
For some time, artists and intellectuals struggled for the sovereign right to present themselves to society in their own way – to become self-created works of art. Today everybody has not only a right but also an obligation to practice self-design. We are responsible for the way we present ourselves to others – and we cannot get rid of this aesthetic responsibility. However, we are not able to produce our own bodies. Before we begin to practice self-design, we find ourselves already designed by the gaze of others. That is why the practice of self-design mostly takes a critical and confrontational turn. We want to bring others to see us in the way we want to be seen – not only during our earthly life but also after our death. This is a complicated struggle, and the aim of this book is to describe and analyze it.

Résumé:
Alors que les artistes se débattent face aux évolutions du droit d'auteur et aux complexités de la copie dans leurs pratiques au quotidien, le livre «Copy this book» d'Eric Schrijver est traduit en français et édité par Les commissaires anonymes. Ce livre adopte une approche à la fois pratique et critique pour guider les lecteurs à travers les différents concepts liés au droit d'auteur et la façon dont ils s'appliquent. Il se présente sous la forme d'un volume découpé en cinq chapitres thématiques, s'appuyant sur des exemples concrets et illustré par des images libres de droits et des créations originales de l'auteur. Il répond à des questions telles que : Comment obtenir des droits d'auteur ? Pour quels types d'œuvres ? Et pour combien de temps ? Comment le droit d'auteur se transpose-t-il selon les médias ? Et comment intégrer le travail d'autres artistes dans le vôtre ? « Copiez ce livre » détaille également les concepts de parentalité d'une œuvre et de création originale qui définissent les systèmes juridiques actuels. Il offre ainsi des outils conceptuels permettant de participer aux débats contemporains concernant la propriété intellectuelle.

He looks at works by Hogarth, Rousseau, Woolstonecraft, Emerson, Marx, Dewey and Benjamin to show how the modern system maintains its dominance through the assimilation of artists and musicians who resist it, and the distinctions it draws between artists and artisans, and high art and the crafts.

Résumé:
Part flight of fancy, part Star Trek set, part seemingly drug-induced delusion, Globus Cassus is a solution to a global dilemma, which remains the same size while housing an ever-increasing global population. The catalyst for the project as described by its creator, artist Christian Waldvogel: "The rapidly increasing population notice that their planet will soon be too small. The Earth is dismantled to provide building material. This is taken away to create Globus Cassus, a new, much bigger habitat, thought out from scratch." And so begins the story of converting the Earth into a gigantic hollow structure. The project, precisely worked out and described in detail, breaks through the bounds of architecture to continue the story of our great contemporary Utopias. Globus Cassus is the core of the Swiss contribution to the 9th Architecture Biennale in Venice, and this book examines the novel project through a series of drawings, diagrams, and photographs of three-dimensional models.

Résumé:
Ce livre trace un chemin artistique qui mène à une thématique philosophique en prise avec notre réalité. Il parle de la violence, notion qui s’invite tragiquement dans le fil de notre actualité faite de conflits, d’émeutes, de discriminations, de rapports de force. L’œuvre d’art est alors, selon les auteurs, une porte d’entrée dans la réflexion, une fenêtre ouverte sur la discussion. Dans cette argumentation, l’œuvre est bien davantage qu’un marqueur culturel, elle capte l’attention, fait sensation, donne à sentir, ressentir ce qui est à penser, en un mot elle est exemplaire. Ce parcours valorise, en quelques chapitres, plus d’une vingtaine d’œuvres livrées au regard croisé de l’historienne de l’art et du philosophe.

Résumé:
This book is about bodies. Presenting the work of Dutch performance artist Mariken Overdijk, it explores how bodies traverse the familiar surroundings of one’s home or move along the familiar routes of everyday life, but also the relation of bodies to public space. On another level, the book also addresses how artistic research recounts the experiments and experiences, collections and vistas gained by the researcher during the course of their work. It shows that any good (artistic) research also creates futures. Overdijk makes clear that artworks are not singular events, but each creates a possibility that, however minimal, changes lives forever. Foreword by Jeroen Boomgaard.
