Résumé:
This pocket-sized book by young Estonian artist Triin Tamm was published as a contribution to the exhibition ‘If it’s part broke, half fix it.’ at the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, in 2011. Known for embracing simultaneity, incoherence, multiplicity, and clumsiness juxtaposed with perfection, Tamm participates in the production of small crafts, minute actions and simple writings to express a sense of freedom in both the mundane and the paths less travelled. Here she explores the contents of an eclectic selection of books encompassing an assortment of divergent but related themes, from typography to linguistics and from spirituality to symbolism.

Résumé:
Être conçue pour ne pas être : tel est le destin de l’utopie. Cette impossibilité à exister dans l’espace réel, est le critère de qualification de l’utopie dans l’espace imaginaire. Par définition, une utopie n’a donc pas de lieu sur terre, et ce qui y a trouvé une place durable n’a pas la qualité d’utopie. Le projet dont l’histoire est racontée dans ce livre, celui du Fresnoy-Studio national des arts contemporains, s’est réalisé grâce au caractère utopique dont il s’était fait un impératif : paradoxe ? exception à la règle ? En tout cas, il ne fait aucun doute que toute inflexion du projet pour le rendre réalisable, l’aurait condamné à n’être jamais réalisé. Cela pose la question du moment, de la circonstance historique, où le politique, face auquel l’utopie se détermine en s’y opposant, a adopté comme critère de ses choix, et comme règle de son action, non plus l’économie mais l’esthétique. Ephémère moment d’une esthétique du politique. Écrit à la première personne, ce récit d’une grande réalisation publique s’appuie souvent sur des anecdotes et sur les relations entre individus singuliers, chères à la micro-histoire. Outre la genèse du Fresnoy-Studio national sur dix ans, entre 1987 et 1997, est ici brossé par touches un tableau des orientations nouvelles en matière de pédagogie de l’art et de formation des jeunes artistes (en France, en Europe et ailleurs), en fonction de la révolution des techniques, des langages artistiques, des moyens d’expression et de communication, à la fin du XXe siècle.

By many art history accounts, the art of the twentieth century was decided by Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp. In these versions, Picasso stands for prolific production, a fierce expressionism, endless research of the picture plane and a sense of voracious creativity; whereas Duchamp stands for cerebral brilliance, rejection of optical pleasure and a subtle but(...)

Résumé:
By many art history accounts, the art of the twentieth century was decided by Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp. In these versions, Picasso stands for prolific production, a fierce expressionism, endless research of the picture plane and a sense of voracious creativity; whereas Duchamp stands for cerebral brilliance, rejection of optical pleasure and a subtle but all-pervasive conceptual sabotage and irony. (Of course, they shared as many traits, including an appetite for provocation and the recognition of eros as a fundamental, animating life principle.) So who was right? This volume, published for a show at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, argues for both sides of the coin, looking at various aspects of both oeuvres, including Picasso’s fascination with the Minotaur and Duchamp’s Rrose Selavy alter ego. The book is appropriately divided in two halves separated by a reverse binding.

Résumé:
What is it to be a work of art? Renowned author and critic Arthur C. Danto addresses this fundamental, complex question. Part philosophical monograph and part memoiristic meditation, What Art Is challenges the popular interpretation that art is an indefinable concept, instead bringing to light the properties that constitute universal meaning. Danto argues that despite varied approaches, a work of art is always defined by two essential criteria: meaning and embodiment, as well as one additional criterion contributed by the viewer: interpretation. Danto crafts his argument in an accessible manner that engages with both philosophy and art across genres and eras, beginning with Plato’s definition of art in The Republic, and continuing through the progress of art as a series of discoveries, including such innovations as perspective, chiaroscuro, and physiognomy. Danto concludes with a fascinating discussion of Andy Warhol’s famous shipping cartons, which are visually indistinguishable from the everyday objects they represent.

Résumé:
Over the course of about ten years, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Matthew Barney met several times to discuss Barney's past work, current projects and his plans for the future. The resulting collection of interviews provides a rare insight into how the work and working method of one of the most prominent artists of a generation has developed over time, and uncovers the ideas, influences and collaborations that lie behind his multi-layered and multimedia creative output. The conversation covers all of his major pieces to date, from the internationally acclaimed "Cremaster" cycle to the somewhat less well-known "Drawing Restraint" series, as well as looking at particular projects in more detail, such as the recent "Khu" performance and Barney's participation in "Il Tempo del Postino," curated by Obrist at the 2007 Manchester International Festival.
