Résumé:
Because feminism has suddenly become a fashionable commodity, were in desperate need of a more inclusive and varied reflection on contemporary girlhood, cross-cultural feminism, and the relationship between gender, politics, and philosophy. "Sense and Sensibility" wishes to explore oppositions and contradictions between objects and subjects, between gender identities, and between theory and visual modes of culture here and now. A book that works as part reader and part exhibition document presents the thought processes of four female artists points of view. It features a collection of autonomous work, research outcomes, reflections, essays, interviews, columns, letters, and notes on contemporary feminism by a variety of artists and academics, writers, rioteers, curators and journalists.

In Soviet Salvage, Catherine Walworth explores how artists on the margins of the Constructivist movement of the 1920s rejected “elitist” media and imagined a new world, knitting together avant-garde art, imperial castoffs, and everyday life.

Résumé:
In Soviet Salvage, Catherine Walworth explores how artists on the margins of the Constructivist movement of the 1920s rejected “elitist” media and imagined a new world, knitting together avant-garde art, imperial castoffs, and everyday life. Applying anthropological models borrowed from Claude Lévi-Strauss, Walworth shows that his mythmaker typologies—the “engineer” and “bricoleur”—illustrate, respectively, the canonical Constructivists and artists on the movement’s margins who deployed a wide range of clever make-do tactics. Walworth explores the relationships of Nadezhda Lamanova, Esfir Shub, and others with Constructivists such as Aleksei Gan, Varvara Stepanova, and Aleksandr Rodchenko. Together, the work of these artists reflected the chaotic and often contradictory zeitgeist of the decade from 1918 to 1929 and redefined the concept of mass production. Reappropriated fragments of a former enemy era provided a wide range of play and possibility for these artists, and the resulting propaganda porcelain, film, fashion, and architecture tell a broader story of the unique political and economic pressures felt by their makers. An engaging multidisciplinary study of objects and their makers during the Soviet Union’s early years, this volume highlights a group of artists who hover like free radicals at the border of existing art-historical discussions of Constructivism and deepens our knowledge of Soviet art and material culture.

Résumé:
An investigation through texts, interviews, and documentation of the complex relationship between the urban, the rural, and contemporary cultural production. What, and where, is “the Rural”? From the rocks that break a farmer's plough on a field in Japan to digital infrastructures that organize geographically dispersed interests and ambitions, vast parts of our lives are still connected and dependent on resources, production, and infrastructures located within rural geographies, and the rural remains a shared cultural space. This anthology is formed as a document, tool, and navigation device for future artistic practice in which “the rural” is filtered through a lens sharpened by an audience-based model of art that practices from within the culture it addresses.

Résumé:
"The Counsel of Spent" is a book that wishes to add its voice to those who desire to have done with the endless vacillating between slavery and appeasement, fear and denial. It is a book that demands that all cast off the burden of debt and go out onto the street - for a true democracy necessitates a commitment where one acknowledges that there is nothing left to hang on to, that there is nothing left to lose and everything to transform. These are pages that fan the flames of bonfires and simple music. Written by Inventory, a collective of British artists, writers and art theorists founded in 1996 and edited by Nina Power as part of the Common Objectives series.

Résumé:
''The Ethics of Art'' explores the growing ethical consciousness within the artistic community, as it relates to art's production and distribution mechanisms. It attempts to show how the artistic community engages in creative, social dialogue based upon the potential of the body. The first of this book's two sections, "Ecosophy," focuses on eco-art practices and the ways in which the ethical turn in the arts implies a greater receptivity to our environment. The second section addresses the contemporary dance scene as an example of this phenomenon, showing how it exhibits renewed interest in "caring" for one's body, rather than transgressing it, both on the individual level and on that of the larger "body politic" of cooperation and collaboration. In this volume, the singular voices of artists are as important as the scholarly contributions.

La « recherche-création » monte en puissance en France. Erin Manning et Brian Massumi en sont parmi les plus radicaux théoriciens. Ils se demandent dans ce petit ouvrage quelle écologie de l'expérience mettre en place, entre recherche et création, pour nous aider à penser ensemble et à mettre la pensée en acte. En guise de réponses, ils tirent de leurs expériences vingt propositions décoiffantes et enjouées, qui donnent des envies plutôt que des leçons. Ils sèment ainsi des graines d'événements éminemment politiques, dont notre avenir a bien besoin.
