Résumé:
''Tricks of the light'' brings together essays by critic and art historian Jonathan Crary, internationally known for his groundbreaking and widely admired studies of modern Western visual culture. This collection features a compelling selection of Crary’s responses to modern and contemporary art and to the transformations of twentieth-century media systems and urban/technological environments. The book is enhanced by several expansive essays on the unstable status of television, both amid its beginnings in the 1930s and then during its assimilation into new assemblages and networks in the 1980s and 90s. These assess its many-sided role in the reshaping of subjectivity, temporality, and the operation of power. Like all of Crary’s work, his writing here is grounded in the acuteness of his engagement with perceptual artifacts of many kinds and in his nuanced reading of historical processes and their cultural reverberations.

Résumé:
While the philosophical dimension of painting has long been discussed, a clear case for painting as a form of visual thinking has yet to be made. Traditionally, vanitas still life paintings are considered to raise ontological issues while landscapes direct the mind toward introspection.

Résumé:
While the philosophical dimension of painting has long been discussed, a clear case for painting as a form of visual thinking has yet to be made. Traditionally, vanitas still life paintings are considered to raise ontological issues while landscapes direct the mind toward introspection. Grootenboer moves beyond these considerations to focus on what remains unspoken in painting, the implicit and inexpressible that manifests in a quality she calls pensiveness. Different from self-aware or actively desiring images, pensive images are speculative, pointing beyond interpretation. An alternative pictorial category, pensive images stir us away from interpretation and toward a state of suspension where thinking through and with the image can start. In fluid prose, Grootenboer explores various modalities of visual thinking— as the location where thought should be found, as a refuge enabling reflection, and as an encounter that provokes thought. Through these considerations, she demonstrates that artworks serve as models for thought as much as they act as instruments through which thinking can take place. Starting from the premise that painting is itself a type of thinking, ''The pensive image'' argues that art is capable of forming thoughts and shaping concepts in visual terms.

Art by Caravaggio, Bellini, Vel zquez, Raphael, Warhol and Mapplethorpe is complemented by Hickey's tributes to Dolly Parton and Richard Pryor, outing of John Rechy's gay novel ''Numbers'', essays on the art of writing and witty analysis of paintings by Ed Ruscha. An afterword by Hickey's friend and Dragon's editor queers the brash, heterosexual gambler as it situates the creation of Dragon squarely within the AIDS plague. At the time, the book made beauty visible under the looming presence of death and bodily decay. Today, Hickey's prescient diagnosis of the "therapeutic institution" resonates even louder and artists respond by harnessing beauty as a source of meaning and of joy.

Résumé:
A personal book about material anxiety in creative work, ''The failed painter'' discusses singular and multiple production processes, perfectibility and imperfectability in times of virtual surface, and hunger for authenticity. Writing in the persona of the titular "failed painter," Ian Lynam, author of ''The impossibility of silence: Writing for designers, artists & photographers'' (2021), directly addresses design practitioners by calling them to investigate how the material components of their practice are sourced, delving into everything from the labor conditions of manufacturers to the intricate processes of production and distribution. Lynam grounds his investigation in the day-to-day with a collection of essays on design and art spanning culture, race, nation and sheer vandalism. This highly curated yet various assortment of approachable writing on aesthetics touches on space exploration, mercenaries, puberty, instant nostalgia, precarious labor and, of course, zombies.

Accompanied by illustrations of the artist’s work in painting, drawing and sculpture, Henrot’s essays oscillate freely between the personal and the societal, the candid and the complex, the visceral and the mundane. ''Milkyways'' was originally conceived for Republik magazine at the invitation of author Antje Stahl, and was written with Jacob Bromberg, Antje Stahl and Léa Trudel.

Conférence d'artiste, danse-conférence, performance narrative, lecture performée, les vocables ne manquent pas, depuis quelques années, pour designer les nouveaux régimes de présence du corps dans l'art contemporain, des régimes élaborés dans un rapport étroit avec le langage et ses diverses formes d'exposition. Ce livre est une tentative d'exploration critique de ce champ transdisciplinaire et hybride, à un moment historique marqué autant par le « storytelling », la « post-vérité » et les « faits alternatifs » que par l'investissement de plus en plus incontournable de l'art dans le marché de la connaissance. Comment peut-on comprendre la place de la performativité au sein de l'espace discursif élargi de l'art contemporain ? Quels sont les nouveaux rapports et les nouvelles configurations que cet espace engendre entre le corps et le langage, entre la pratique et la théorie ? Dans quelle mesure peut-on rendre compte d'un geste qui, bien que fait de mots, semble résister au discours ?
