Résumé:
Assembled by the authors of "Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook", this book is an account of the process of unlearning, taking art institutions as potential sites for unlearning. The publication shares a set of “unlearning exercises” as propositions to be adapted within other institutional contexts, ranging from daily practices like “Cleaning Together” to more difficult negotiations around issues of collective authorship and fair wage. The exercises are accompanied by personal accounts, essays and collective conversations, comprising a multi faceted critique of institutionalized habits and an attempt to put processes of unlearning into practice.

Résumé:
L’appropriation est un phénomène à double face : négatif, quand il est un moyen de s’accaparer des biens, des territoires, des pouvoirs, mais positif, quand il est un processus de recyclage qui réactualise ce qui a été oublié. Dans les années 1960, les artistes s’approprient des objets usuels qu’ils transforment, révélant la puissance inventive du quotidien. Dans le(...)

Résumé:
L’appropriation est un phénomène à double face : négatif, quand il est un moyen de s’accaparer des biens, des territoires, des pouvoirs, mais positif, quand il est un processus de recyclage qui réactualise ce qui a été oublié. Dans les années 1960, les artistes s’approprient des objets usuels qu’ils transforment, révélant la puissance inventive du quotidien. Dans le domaine architectural et urbain, durant la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, l’appropriation s’est développée contre des conceptions fonctionnalistes et autoritaires de l’espace, générant des projets collectifs qui refusaient de dissocier l’habitat de l’habiter. Au tournant du siècle, le déficit persistant de logements, la globalisation, les flux migratoires, l’urgence écologique suscitent de nouvelles pratiques appropriatives de l’espace et du temps qui sont regardées comme des pôles de résistance, ou des embryons de villes futures.

Résumé:
Bringing the creative process of three contemporary artists into conversation, ''Architectures of the Unforeseen'' stages an encounter between philosophy and art and design. Its prose invites the reader to think along with Brian Massumi as he thoroughly embodies the work of these artists, walking the line that separates theory from art and providing equally nurturing sustenance for practicing artists and working philosophers. Based on Massumi’s lengthy relationships with digital architect Greg Lynn, interactive media artist Rafael-Lozano Hemmer, and mixed-media installation creator Simryn Gill, ''Architectures of the Unforeseen' delves into their processes of creating art. The book’s primary interest is in what motivates each artist’s practice and in how their pieces work to give off their unique effects.

Résumé:
Through eight thematic case studies that illuminate what eco art means in practice, reception, and history, Cheetham places the form in a longer and broader art-historical context. He considers a wide range of media—from painting, sculpture, and photography to artists’ films, video, sound work, animation, and installation—and analyzes the work of internationally prominent artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Nancy Holt, Mark Dion, and Robert Smithson. In doing so, Cheetham reveals eco art to be a dynamic extension of a long tradition of landscape depiction in the West that boldly enters into today’s debates on climate science, government policy, and our collective and individual responsibility to the planet.

Résumé:
In the words of Hannah Arendt, “Half of politics is image-making, the other half is the art of making people believe the image.” From South Africa to Charlottesville, heated discussions over statues, their removal and their vandalism frequently make the news. “Decoding Dictatorial Statues”, a project by Korean graphic design researcher Ted Hyunhak Yoon, is a collection of images and texts exploring the visual rhetoric of statues in public space. How can we decode statues and their languages, their objecthood and materiality, their role as media icons and their voice in political debates? The book responds to urgent concerns about the representation of our heritage by not only asking us to examine what history gets put on a pedestal, but also to consider the visual rhetoric of the statue itself.

Résumé:
Founded in North Carolina in 1933, Black Mountain College ranks alongside the Bauhaus as one of the most innovative schools of the 20th century. Inspired by the forward-thinking pedagogical ideas of philosopher John Dewey, the experimental, interdisciplinary college combined the ideas of radical European modernism with the philosophy of American pragmatism and teaching methods designed to encourage personal initiative as well as the social competence of the individual. Visual arts, economics, physics, dance, architecture and music were all taught on an equal footing, and teachers and students lived together in a democratically organized community. The second director of the school was Josef Albers, and John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Walter Gropius, Franz Kline and Charles Olson were among its teachers. As a result, the college played a foundational role in the development of a range of avant-garde practices, and exerted an enormous influence on the development of the arts in the second half of the 20th century.

The City of Light. For many, these four words instantly conjure late nineteenth-century Paris and the garish colors of Toulouse-Lautrec’s iconic posters. More recently, the Eiffel Tower’s nightly show of sparkling electric lights has come to exemplify our fantasies of Parisian nightlife. Though we reflect longingly on such scenes, in "Illuminated Paris", Hollis Clayson shows that there’s more to these clichés than meets the eye. In this illustrated book, she traces the dramatic evolution of lighting in Paris and how artists responded to the shifting visual and cultural scenes that resulted from these technologies.

Résumé:
Omnivorous in her research, Barbara Stafford has published work that embraces neuroscience and philosophy, biology and culture, pinpointing connections among each discipline’s parallel concerns. ''Ribbon of Darkness'' is a monument to the scope of her work and the range of her intellect. At times associative, but always incisive, the essays in this new volume take on a distinctly contemporary purpose: to uncover the ethical force and moral aspects of overlapping scientific and creative inquiries. This shared territory, Stafford argues, offers important insights into—and clarifications of—current dilemmas about personhood, the supposedly menial nature of manual skill, the questionable borderlands of gene editing, the potentially refining value of dualism, and the limits of a materialist worldview.

Une enquête collective sur les multiples dimensions des espaces et centres d'art gérés par des artistes à travers le monde. Se dessine ainsi un parcours entre les États-Unis, la France, l'Argentine et le Maroc auquel on accorde ici un focus particulier. Alternant documents, communications et conversations, cette édition s'articule au fur et à mesure des territoires arpentés, dans un nomadisme libre et inédit. Mais aussi, elle donne à voir en quoi et comment toute une nouvelle génération de jeunes artistes sensibilisés à ces pratiques d'organisation et de diffusion collective (Le Marquis, Firstlaid, Chevaline Corporation, Chers Amis) a su s'inspirer de ce modèle pour en faire un système fondateur dans l'art d'aujourd'hui. La conception du design graphique de l'ouvrage, édité sous la direction de Rozenn Canevet, a fait l'objet d'un atelier en design graphique.
