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:
Based in New York City, Amy Sillman (born 1955) is an artist whose work consistently combines the visceral with the intellectual. 'Faux pas' aims at revealing the coherence and originality of Sillman’s reflection, as she addresses the possibilities of art today, favoring excess over good taste, wrestling over dandyism, forms over symbols, with as much critical sense as humor.

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.''

Résumé:
In the 2010s, the term ''autotheory'' began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.

Résumé:
''Come Closer: The Biennale Reader,'' published on the occasion of the inaugural Prague biennale, considers the present via counter-hegemonic readings of the past. The book explores various perspectives of class, race, and gender differences in post-socialist states, past and present. In societies today that can seem fragmented, alienated, and sealed-off, a feeling of "us" and "them" can potentially emerge. The reliance on a common language to bring people closer often does the opposite, leading to feelings of contempt, anxiety, and fear. By drawing attention to themes of intimacy, care, and empathy, the contributions in this book search for new types of communication that can bring people together. Like language, art can be used to mediate these differences, and to examine issues relating to how people coexist in society.

Résumé:
This book contextualizes the Creativity Exercises–an amateur art course led by neo-avant-garde artists Miklós Erdély and Dóra Maurer in Budapest from 1975 to 1977– within the postwar intellectual networks that connected artists, architects, educators, sociologists, and other socially engaged professionals, fostering the exchange of ideas and concepts and making connections between different fields of knowledge. The first part of the publication consists of historical texts translated into English for the first time, including the exercise descriptions that functioned as the curriculum for the Creativity Exercises, studies written on the methods employed in the Creativity Exercises course, and parallel models for progressive pedagogies and art education. In the second part of the book, newly commissioned essays offer historical and transnational context for the ''case study'' of the Creativity Exercises course. The impact that such ''creativity exercises'' had on aesthetic, educational and institutional concepts, and the impulses for participation, co-creation, knowledge production and exchange that they continue to give–even beyond the realm of art– are the central themes of the book.

Résumé:
Duchamp : une œuvre proprement infixable. Réseau infini de complexités, de pistes déroutantes, d’équations aux diverses inconnues. Les interprétations aux allures de discussions talmudiques égrenées depuis des décennies participent bien sûr de cette insaisissabilité. Mais pas seulement. Quoique hantant la modernité, Duchamp échappe à toute synthèse. Rien de surprenant. « Le grand artiste de demain passera à la clandestinité », avait-t-il prophétisé… De « Nu descendant un escalier » (1913) à Étant Donnés : « 1° la chute d’eau, 2° le gaz d’éclairage, » installation découverte après sa mort en 1968, en passant par « Fountain » (1917), urinoir signé R. Mutt, et « L.H.O.O.Q. » (1919), Joconde moustachue, ce livre explore autant d’œuvres-icônes qui n’ont pas fini de nous échapper, ni de susciter l’inspiration.
