Résumé:
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 ?

Résumé:
In "The Aquarium is a Listening Glass", nine short, non-linear stories—set amid scientific archives, underwater research stations, natural history museums, national aquaria and oceanic infrastructure—evoke the glass as a listening device to present singular relationships between humans and fish that would otherwise go unheard. In this paradigm shift, design plays a fundamental role in conceiving the object (and the book) as a sensory device to glimpse new forms of mediation, to generate alliances, and also to promote the potential for a thriving and vital world.

''A User's Manual to Claire Fontaine'' explores the work of the feminist conceptual artist collective Claire Fontaine through the lens of her theoretical and political innovations, both inside and outside the context of contemporary art. Theorizing the ways in which Claire Fontaine's experimental approach can illuminate a more haptic, embodied practice of critical theory, this book delineates a series of theoretical techniques and procedures at the core of the artist's work, among them defunctionalization, Institutional Critique, human strike, tactile mimesis, desubjectivation, détournement, magic materialism, and feminist materialism.

Résumé:
Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy.

Résumé:
Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy. To her, the story of art becomes more nuanced in light of lyrics by Arthur Russell, the posthumous sorrow of Sylvia Plath or a poem by Yvonne Rainer. "Saké Blue" gathers Hoy’s critical essays and reviews, primarily on women artists. Echoing the work of Hervé Guibert or Camille Henrot, Hoy’s writing suggests that art can be the place for subjectivities to take shape in relation to forms, ideas and the other.

Résumé:
Can empathy deliver political change? Does art that elicits emotional identification with others take us where we need to go? In ''Imperfect Solidarities'', writer and art historian Aruna D’Souza offers observations pulled from current events as well as contemporary art that suggest that a feeling of understanding or closeness based on emotion is an imperfect ground for solidarity. Empathy—and its correlate, love—is a distraction from the hard work that needs to be done to achieve justice. Rather, D’Souza contends, we need to imagine a form of political solidarity that is not based on empathy, but on the much more difficult obligation of care. When we can respect the unknowability of the other and still care for and with them, without translating ourselves into their terms, perhaps we will fare better at building political bridges.

Résumé:
Across the world, walking is a vital way to assert one's presence in public space and discourse. ''Walking'' maps the terrain of contemporary walking practices, foregrounding work by Black artists, Indigenous artists and artists of colour, working-class artists, LGBTQI+ artists, disabled artists and neurodiverse artists, as well as many more who are frequently denied the right to take their places in public space, not only in the street or the countryside, but also in art discourse. This anthology contends that, as a relational practice, walking inevitably touches upon questions of access, public space, land ownership, and use. Walking is, therefore, always a political act.

Résumé:
In the three centuries from 1450 to 1750 painters, sculptors, and architects emerged from the medieval craft guilds of Italy to claim a new social status as creators, whose gorgeous handiwork, now called "art," expressed lofty inspiration as much as manual skill. In "The lies of the artists", Ingrid Rowland takes us into the world of these artists, and into their seemingly miraculous ways of transforming transcendent ideas into tangible works of art that challenged and redefined reality, "lies" with the power to reveal a deeper truth. As the great art patron Daniele Barbaro wrote: "bisogna aprire gli occhi," or "you have to open your eyes." And this is precisely what Rowland does in these essays, bringing her knowledge, keen perception, and singular wit to bear on the art and lives of Renaissance masters.
