Résumé:
''Funny weather'' brings together a career’s worth of Olivia Laing’s writing about art and culture, examining their role in our political and emotional lives. She profiles Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O’Keeffe, reads Maggie Nelson and Sally Rooney, writes love letters to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and explores loneliness and technology, women and alcohol, sex and the body. With characteristic originality and compassion, she celebrates art as a force of resistance and repair, an antidote to a frightening political time.

Résumé:
In an era of diet pills, rising antidepressant usage, yoga, and health-management apps, wellness is one of the defining issues of contemporary life, affecting every intimate aspect of our lives. Historically, art has been entwined with the values of medicine, beauty, and the productive body that have defined Western scientific paradigms. Contemporary artists are increasingly confronting and reshaping these ideologies, drawing on the vexed experiences surrounding questions of health and identity.

Résumé:
Restituer la parole des ami-e-s de lutte, articuler les « je » et « nous » d'alors et d'aujourd'hui, faire retour sur des faits et affects peu connus du public français, analyser « l'épidémie de la représentation » consécutif à l'apparition du sida : telle est l'entreprise de cet ouvrage, conçu par Elisabeth Lebovici comme un véritable « discours de la méthode », où, toujours, le personnel est politique. Engagée aux côtés des activistes français et américains de la lutte contre le sida, observatrice privilégiée, en tant qu'historienne de l'art et journaliste, des débats et enjeux des années 1980 et 1990, l'auteure analyse ce moment charnière des liens entre art et activisme, qu'elle revisite avec sa mémoire de témoin, en survivante affectée. Monographies, entretiens et essais thématiques composent ce volume, rédigé de manière assumée-- la seule possible-- à la première personne. Il propose ainsi une cosmologie élective-- d'ACT UP à Dana Wyse, d'Alain Buffard à Zoe Leonard, de Lionel Soukaz à Mark Morrisroe, entre autres--, illustrée par des archives et ephemera qui soulignent l'importance du graphisme dans la lutte contre le sida. Embrassé par une création originale du collectif lesbien fierce pussy, « Ce que le sida m'a fait » est un ouvrage nécessaire pour comprendre les « années sida », cette période d'une créativité artistique et activiste née de l'urgence de vivre et du combat pour la reconnaissance de tous--tes.

Résumé:
In this publication, Jennifer Ponce de León examines the roles that art can play in the collective labor of creating and defending another social reality. Focusing on artists and art collectives in Argentina, Mexico, and the United States, Ponce de León shows how experimental practices in the visual, literary, and performing arts have been influenced by and articulated with leftist movements and popular uprisings that have repudiated neoliberal capitalism and its violence. Ponce de León proposes a materialist understanding of art and politics that brings to the fore the power of aesthetics to both compose and make visible a world beyond capitalism.

Résumé:
Aloïs Riegl is one of the greatest of all modern art historians. The most important member of the so-called 'Vienna School,' Riegl developed a highly refined technique of visual or formal analysis, as opposed to the iconological method, with its emphasis on decoding motifs through recourse to texts. Riegl also pioneered understanding of the changing role of the viewer, the significance of non–high art objects or what would now be called visual or material culture, and theories of art and art history, including his much-debated neologism Kunstwollen (the will of art). At last, his 'Historical Grammar of the Visual Arts', which brings together the diverse threads of his thought, is available to an English-language audience, in a superlative translation by Jacqueline E. Jung. In one of the earliest and perhaps the most brilliant of all art historical 'surveys,' Riegl addresses the different visual arts within a sweeping conception of the history of culture. His account derives from Hegelian models but decisively opens onto alternative pathways that continue to complicate attempts to reduce art merely to the artist’s intentions or its social and historical functions.

Résumé:
We all have memories of the object-world of childhood. For many of us, playthings and images from those days continue to resonate. Rereading a swathe of modern and contemporary artistic production through the lens of its engagement with childhood, this book blends in-depth art historical analysis with sustained theoretical exploration of topics such as surrealist temporality, toys, play, nostalgia, memory, and 20th-century constructions of the child. The result is an entirely new approach to the surrealist tradition via its engagement with “childish things.” Providing what the author describes as a “long history of surrealism,” this book plots a trajectory from surrealism itself to the art of the 1980s and 1990s, through to the present day. It addresses a range of figures from Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Hans Bellmer, Joseph Cornell, and Helen Levitt, at one end of the spectrum, to Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Paolozzi, Claes Oldenburg, Susan Hiller, Martin Sharp, Helen Chadwick, Mike Kelley, and Jeff Koons, at the other.

Résumé:
"Artists and the Rothko Chapel" celebrates the legacy of the Rothko Chapel in Houston and globally since its founding in 1971. It features recent work by four contemporary artists who have drawn inspiration from the Chapel--Sam Gilliam, Sheila Hicks, Shirazeh Houshiary, and Byron Kim--and illustrates the 1975 exhibition Marden, Novros, Rothko: Painting in the Age of Actuality shown at Rice University. The volume includes interviews with Brice Marden and David Novros, statements from the artists about their work's relationship to the Chapel, and reflections from local figures on spirituality, identity, and equality. With new photography of the installations and of the recently restored Chapel, this book is a testament to the enduring impact of the non-denominational space Rothko created.
