Résumé:
Nous continuons à considérer l'art en tant que spectateurs, alors que nous en sommes désormais les acteurs. Tel est l'étonnant constat dressé par Boris Groys, l'enfant terrible de la théorie de l'art contemporaine. Mais que cela signifie-t-il ? Quelles sont les conséquences, non seulement esthétiques, mais aussi politiques, de la réalisation de la prophétie de Joseph(...)

Résumé:
Nous continuons à considérer l'art en tant que spectateurs, alors que nous en sommes désormais les acteurs. Tel est l'étonnant constat dressé par Boris Groys, l'enfant terrible de la théorie de l'art contemporaine. Mais que cela signifie-t-il ? Quelles sont les conséquences, non seulement esthétiques, mais aussi politiques, de la réalisation de la prophétie de Joseph Beuys, voulant que chacun devra un jour devenir artiste ? Qu'est-ce qu'un monde dans lequel les créateurs d'images sont en nombre plus important que les spectateurs ?

Résumé:
Filmmaker, painter, anthropologist, musicologist and occultist – Harry Smith (1923-1991) was an incomparable polymath and seminal figure in the realms of beat culture and avant-garde art. Smith's kaleidoscopic experimental films have influenced generations of artists and cinephiles. The Collections of Harry Smith, Catalogue Raisonné series spotlights and indexes his eclectic research obsessions. Volume two focuses on Smith's erudite study of string figures, an age-old form of spiritual and recreational play that he passionately chronicled in multiple mediums. It contains photographs of the extant mounted string figures created by Smith alongside interviews, film stills and selections from his anthropological research.

Résumé:
From the pencil to the puppet to the drone, the humanities and the social sciences continue to ride a wave of interest in material culture and the world of things. How should we understand the force and figure of that wave as it shapes different disciplines? Other Things explores this question by considering a wide assortment of objects—from beach glass to cell phones, sneakers to skyscrapers—that have fascinated a range of writers and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Man Ray, Spike Lee, and Don DeLillo. The book ranges across the literary, visual, and plastic arts to depict the curious lives of things. Beginning with Achilles’s Shield, then tracking the object/thing distinction as it appears in the work of Martin Heidegger and Jacques Lacan, Bill Brown ultimately focuses on the thingness disclosed by specific literary and artistic works. Combining history and literature, criticism and theory, Other Things provides a new way of understanding the inanimate object world and the place of the human within it, encouraging us to think anew about what we mean by materiality itself.

Résumé:
An essential characteristic of textiles is their richly intertextual nature. Textiles: Open Letter stems from an exhibition at Museum Abteiberg, Germany, plus an extensive research project (2010 14) examining the place of textiles in the history of art and culture, media, society and technology through various voices. Representing traditions found in both applied and fine arts, textiles hover between formalism and functionalism; as objects and techniques, they mediate between self and world, between affect-driven and knowledge-driven processes of appropriation. Functionally versatile, textiles are the fulcrum of an ensemble of activities, and illustrate relations between subject and object, material and immaterial, artistic and artisanal labor, and different cultures.
