Résumé:
How do the arts contribute to the formation of democratic processes? How does culture constitute public space and a civil domain? ''The art of civil action'' argues that cultural initiatives play an underappreciated but crucial role in unlocking dormant democratic potential in our societies. Arts and culture can be a cornerstone of the civil domain, and an anchor as communities reconcile their local and global identities and roles. ''The art of civil action'' considers how to establish a sustainable, transnational civil space, and what role culture and the arts can play in this process, through a colourful mix of case studies on citizen-led cultural initiatives from Europe and around the world. Social scientists, cultural theorists, activists and artists contribute conceptual perspectives on how the arts and culture can help build a locally rooted civil society in a globally connected context.

Résumé:
'The Salon of 1846' expands upon the tenets of romanticism as Baudelaire methodically takes his reader through paintings by Delacroix and Ingres, illuminating his belief that the pursuit of the ideal must be paramount in artistic expression. Here we also see Baudelaire caught in a fundamental struggle with the urban commodity of capitalism developing in Paris at that time. Baudelaire’s text proves to be a useful lens for understanding art criticism in mid-nineteenth-century France, as well as the changing opinions regarding the essential nature of romanticism and the artist as creative genius.

Résumé:
A draftsman, printmaker, architect, and archaeologist, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–78) is best known today as the virtuoso etcher of the immersive and captivating ''Views of Rome'' and the darkly inventive ''Imaginary Prisons.'' Yet Carolyn Yerkes and Heather Hyde Minor argue that his single greatest art form- one that combined his obsessions most powerfully and that he pursued throughout his career- was the book. ''Piranesi unbound'' provides a fundamental reinterpretation of Piranesi by recognizing him, first and foremost, as a writer, illustrator, printer, and publisher of books. Featuring nearly two hundred of Piranesi’s engravings and drawings, including some that have never been published before, this visually stunning book returns Piranesi’s artworks to the context for which he originally produced them: a dozen volumes that combine text and image, archaeology and imagination, erudition and humor. Drawing on new research, ''Piranesi unbound'' uncovers the social networks in which Piranesi published, including the readers who bought, read, and debated his books. It reveals his habit of raiding the wastepaper pile for cast-off sheets upon which to draw and fuse printed images and texts. It shows how, even after his books were bound, they were subject to change by Piranesi and others as pages were torn out and added.

Résumé:
The notion of the handmade has shifted from the margins to center stage. Craft’s value is increasingly recognized across creative, economic, social, cultural, and political contexts. Because of its widespread appropriation, and the dissolution of disciplinary boundaries, the meaning of handicrafts is changing. While craft’s claims of authenticity and anti-consumerism are in question, its role is poised for optimization within the contemporary climate. Amid new economies of making, craft is moving from modern craft to post-craft. Through essays, conversations, and projects by designers, artists, and scholars, the third volume in the EP series examines not only the practice of post-craft but also its mediation and interpretation.

Résumé:
Un essai sur les stratégies de réédition (de reenactment, d'appropriation ou de réinterprétation) de livres d'artistes devenus inaccessibles. Le livre d'artiste, qui a par le passé permis aux artistes d'échapper à l'ingérence des institutions et des galeries dans la production et la diffusion des œuvres d'art, est aujourd'hui dans une situation paradoxale. D'un côté subsistent de très rares premiers tirages ou, plus largement, l'édition originale de livres précurseurs, et de l'autre circulent des éditions en fac-similé venues remédier à la rareté des originaux en offrant un reenactment ou une réinterprétation de livres célèbres. Cet essai souligne l'intérêt que portent certain·e·s artistes et éditeur·rice·s aux pratiques d'appropriation, et vise à rendre compte des méthodes et des discours propres à la production de fac-similés de livres d'artistes.

Résumé:
Originally published in 1983, ''Writings 1973-1983 on Works 1969-1979,'' by Los Angeles artist Michael Asher (1943-2012) presents select documentation of 33 works through writings, photographs, architectural floor plans, exhibition announcements and other ephemera. For most of his career, Asher did not create traditional art objects; instead, he altered the existing institutional apparatus through which art is presented, creating work that intervened in the architectural, social or economic systems that undergird how art is produced and experienced. For example, in 1974, he removed the partition wall dividing the office and gallery space of the Claire S. Copley Gallery in Los Angeles, revealing the day-to-day activities of the gallery to the public. In another work from 1979, Asher had a bronze replica of a late 18th-century sculpture of George Washington moved from the exterior of the Art Institute of Chicago to a museum gallery that housed 18th-century art, reintroducing the statue to its original period context and shifting its function from public monument to indoor sculpture. Due to its site- and time-specific nature, Asher’s work generally ceased to exist after an exhibition, which makes this highly sought-after book an invaluable resource. As the artist states in the introduction: ''This book as a finished product will have a material permanence that contradicts the actual impermanence of the art-work, yet paradoxically functions as a testimony to that impermanence of my production.''
