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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
In “The Critic as Artist”, Oscar Wilde harnesses his famous wit to demolish the supposed boundary between art and criticism. Subtitled “Upon the Importance of Doing Nothing and Discussing Everything”, the essay takes the form of a leisurely dialogue between two characters: Ernest, who insists upon Wilde’s own belief in art’s freedom from societal mandates and values, and a quizzical Gilbert. With his playwright’s ear for dialogue, Wilde champions idleness and contemplation as prerequisites to artistic cultivation. Beyond the well-known dictum of art for art’s sake, Wilde’s originality lays an argument for the equality of criticism and art. For him, criticism is not subject to the work of art, but can in fact precede it: the artist cannot create without engaging his or her critical faculties first. And, as Wilde writes, “To the critic the work of art is simply a suggestion for a new work of his own.” The field of art and criticism should be open to the free play of the mind, but Wilde plays seriously, even prophetically.

Résumé:
"The Legacy of Transgressive Objects" traces the afterlife and historicization of the concept of transgression in the art, architecture, technology, music and psychedelic practices of 1968 and its legacy, by looking at the objects, materials and images that originally shaped these ideas. These decades saw the fertile cross-pollination of rebellious political and artistic energies: radical architecture suggested a whole new organization of society, artistic practices enthusiastically dissolved boundaries between art and life, and music festivals staged gleeful opportunities for transgression. The material heritage of this historical moment is ambivalent—though often ephemeral and deteriorating, the objects associated with these ideas still function as repositories of time and as evocative physical objects. Against this background, this book traces the historical index of these objects that promised to change the world and now open up to the future horizons of the recent past.

Can artistic innovation still function as a source of critique? How do artists, theorists, and art organizations deal with the changing role of and discourse on innovation? Should we look for alternative ways to innovate, or should we change our discourse and look for other (new!) ways to talk about the new?

Résumé:
Au croisement des arts, l'œuvre de Carmelo Bene – acteur, auteur et metteur en scène, pour le théâtre, le cinéma et la télévision, mais aussi romancier et poète – remet systématiquement en question le langage artistique avec lequel il s'exprime. Ni captations de spectacles théâtraux, ni adaptations cinématographiques, ses réalisations pour le petit écran explorent les possibilités techniques et esthétiques offertes par le médium télévisé. Ce volume réunit deux entretiens, respectivement avec les critiques Italo Moscati et Maurizio Grande, publiés au moment de la diffusion du Hamlet télévisé de Carmelo Bene (1978). L'artiste y expose sa méthode de travail et ses idées sur la télévision, ce « médium innocent aux possibilités puissantes, inexplorées ». Relues à l'ère d'Internet, ses réflexions invitent à penser les liens entre spectacle vivant et petit(s) écran(s), mais aussi entre nouveautés technologiques et recherche esthétique, entre avant-gardisme artistique et diffusion de masse.

Résumé:
Ecological crisis has driven contemporary artists to engage with waste in its most non-biodegradable forms: plastics, e-waste, toxic waste, garbage hermetically sealed in landfills. In this provocative and original book, Amanda Boetzkes links the increasing visualization of waste in contemporary art to the rise of the global oil economy and the emergence of ecological thinking. Often, when art is analyzed in relation to the political, scientific, or ecological climate, it is considered merely illustrative. Boetzkes argues that art is constitutive of an ecological consciousness, not simply an extension of it. The visual culture of waste is central to the study of the ecological condition.
