Résumé:
Americans, on average, spend between six and ten seconds with individual artworks in museums or galleries—hardly time enough. But how, in our culture of distraction, might we extend attention? Slow Art models sustained ways of looking, through encounters with various media both present and past—including photography, painting, sculpture, “living pictures,” film, video, digital and performance art—even light and space. Works by Diderot, Emma Hamilton, Oscar Wilde, Jeff Wall, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Andy Warhol, and Richard Serra, among others, shape a new and distinct aesthetic field. But rather than a collection of objects, slow art is participatory—it directly engages beholders to bring artworks to life. Against current orthodoxy, Arden Reed argues that, for contemporary viewers, the contemplation of slow art is akin to religious practices during the ages of faith.

Résumé:
Dans le paradigme de complexité qui est le nôtre, les contextes institutionnels dans lesquels s'exerce le savoir doivent dorénavant ouvrir sur un environnement général qui le réclame, dans l'idée d'un continuum devenu nécessaire entre les situations humaines et le savoir. C'est à cette problématique contemporaine que le présent ouvrage réfléchit. Il résulte de trois années de travail dans le cadre d'un projet réunissant cinq contributeurs de quatre universités québécoises ainsi qu'une artiste du milieu littéraire. L'équipe s'est intéressée à faire émerger et à développer des stratégies de spatialisation permettant d'accéder de manière inédite à des environnements de savoir ainsi qu'à générer et à organiser de manière singulière de tels environnements. Il s'agit ici d'ouvrir un champ de recherche artistique sur la question de la spatialisation du savoir, dans le cadre des mises en situation individuelles et créatives dont l'efficacité et la validité répondent ainsi à des impératifs très différents de ceux commandés par des critères de multitude et d'universalité.
Degas and his model

(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
"Monsieur Degas, you just said some things that would make an old soldier blush!" There are many myths about Edgar Degas—from Degas the misanthrope to Degas the deviant to Degas the obsessive. But there is no single text that better stokes the fire than Degas and His Model, a short memoir by Alice Michel, who purportedly modeled for Degas. Never before translated into(...)

Résumé:
"Monsieur Degas, you just said some things that would make an old soldier blush!" There are many myths about Edgar Degas—from Degas the misanthrope to Degas the deviant to Degas the obsessive. But there is no single text that better stokes the fire than Degas and His Model, a short memoir by Alice Michel, who purportedly modeled for Degas. Never before translated into English, the text’s original publication in Mercure de France in 1919, shortly after the artist’s death, has been treated as an important account of the master sculptor at work. We know that Alice was writing under a pseudonym, but who the real person behind this account was remains a mystery. Yet the descriptions seem too accurate, the anecdotes too spot-on to discount; even the dialogue captures the artist’s tone and mannerisms. What is found in these pages is at times a woman’s flirtatious recollection of a bizarre “artistic type” and at others a moving attempt to connect with a great, often tragic man. The descriptions are limpid; the dialogue is lively and intimate, not unlike reading the very best kind of gossip, with world-historical significance.

Résumé:
Long overlooked in Proust’s posthumously published writings, Chardin and Rembrandt, written when he was only twenty-four years old, not only reemphasizes the importance of visual art to his development, but contains the seeds of his later work. Proposed in 1895 by Proust to the newspaper Revue hebdomadaire (it was rejected), this essay is much more than a straightforward piece of art criticism. It is a literary experiment in which an unnamed narrator gives advice to a young man suffering from melancholy, taking him on an imaginary tour through the Louvre where his readings of Chardin imbue the everyday world with new meaning, and his ruminations on Rembrandt take his melancholic pupil beyond the realm of mere objects.

Résumé:
"Imaginative bodies" contains a series of in-depth conversations with dancers and choreographers, composers, visual artists, Hip Hop artists, dramaturgs, a lighting designer and a puppeteer. The overall theme is defined by the body, both in relation to the place it takes in the artist’s work, and in relation to wider debates on the body in philosophy, science, medicine, anthropology, and the arts. Depending on the affinities of the artist, a more specific theme has been defined for each dialogue, ranging from poetics to politics, from mythology to ecology, from intercultural studies to conflict management. The associative chains of thoughts of these talks give an intimate insight into the creative process, inspirations, sources, identity, and ways of collaborating. It is through the sentient body that we experience, know and imagine. "Imaginative bodies" reaffirms the central position of the body in many artistic practices.

"The practice of dramaturgy" addresses dramaturgy as a shared, politicized and catalytic practice that sets actions into motion in a more speculative, rather than an instructive way. The first part of this publication is 'Dramaturgy as working on actions', explores three working principles that lie at the heart of the editors' propositions, and relates these to debates on action, work and post-Fordist labour. The second part, 'Working on actions and beyond', opens up to different artistic, social and political perspectives that such understanding of dramaturgy may give rise to.

Résumé:
What really happens between a spectator and a work of art at the moment of encounter? How does one experience "meaning" in a work of art? How does an interpretation of an art object come to take hold for a viewer? How can that process of interpretation, which often takes place at a subconscious level beyond language, be understood and articulated? In "The perfect spectator", author Janneke Wesseling addresses these questions by turning to the field of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contemplation of art is a matter of interaction between an active artwork and an active observer. Wesseling proceeds from her own intensely personal encounters with art objects, and her professional experience studying and writing about art, in order to arrive at a new theoretical framework for the sight and contemplation of art.
