Art et Architecture interroge la manière avec laquelle la production artistique des années 1960 à aujourd’hui s’est nourrie de l’architecture. Une douzaine d’essais apporte un éclairage approfondi sur ces enjeux, du modernisme du début du XXe siècle à l’architecture-sculpture, de l’art conceptuel aux pratiques artistiques actuelles. Photographies, films, dessins, installations, s’approprient l’architecture comme archétype, substrat iconique, référent historique. De la maquette aux installations architecturales à l’échelle 1 :1, les artistes s’emparent de l’architecture dans sa dimension d’utopie, questionnant par là notre rapport au monde.

Résumé:
This groundbreaking exploration of appropriation and institutional critique assembles a wide variety of artists and mediums to offer new insight and make unprecedented connections. Exploring two parallel strands of post-conceptual art, Take It or Leave It highlights artists known for their use of appropriation and those who engage in "institutional critique." Focusing on American artists who emerged from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, the book highlights dynamic practices in a variety of media: from performance to photography; video to installation; painting to writing. Artists as wide-ranging in approach as Dara Birnbaum, Mark Dion, Robert Gober, Barbara Kruger, Zoe Leonard, Glenn Ligon, Adrian Piper, Stephen Prina, and Fred Wilson are examined within the context of the larger culture— from the political landscape to design strategies in advertising. Essays by curators Anne Ellegood and Johanna Burton as well as scholars George Baker, Julia Bryan-Wilson, Gavin Butt, and Darby English explore the historical and current terrain of appropriation and institutional critique, while pursuing topics including the downtown music scene in New York in the '80s, new strategies of painting, and theories of race after identity politics' heyday.

Résumé:
"The Arcades Project" (1927–40), the monumental unfinished work of cultural criticism by Walter Benjamin, is the German philosopher’s effort to comprehend urban modernity through the 19th-century Parisian shopping arcade. "The Arcades: contemporary art and Walter Benjamin" combines artworks with archival materials and poetic interventions to form an original, multifaceted response to this collagelike cultural text. Jens Hoffmann astutely pairs works by thirty-six well-known and emerging artists, including Lee Friedlander, Andreas Gursky, Pierre Huyghe, and Cindy Sherman, with the thirty-six “Convolutes,” or themes, in Benjamin’s text. Bound into the main volume is a graphic novelette, from the imagination of Vito Manolo Roma, of Benjamin’s dream the night before he committed suicide while fleeing the Nazis. Scholarly essays by Hoffmann and Caroline A. Jones, texts selected by the poet Kenneth Goldsmith, reproductions of Benjamin’s handwritten notes, and a list of the main Paris arcades discussed by him round out this extraordinary publication.

Résumé:
Ballpoint drawing has evolved into a thriving art form since the pen emerged as a writing tool in the 1940s, when the Hungarian journalist and inventor Laszlo Biro fled war-torn Europe and began manufacturing the pens in Argentina. Throughout the 1950s and '60s, as the ballpoint became cheaper and more accessible, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Nam June Paik, Louise Bourgeois, and many others, sketched with the pens. Today, those who make art with ballpoint pen are no longer confined by size or style. They draw on sculpture, wallpaper, canvas, architecture, and 50-foot sheets of paper, depicting a wide range of subjects - from psychologically charged portraits to mutant animals to abstract scribbles. This book features 30 artists from around the world who are currently creating masterpieces with ballpoint, and discusses their methods, the messages in their work, and their personal connections to the pen.

Résumé:
Du Grand Architecte de l'Univers, de l'homme de Néandertal ou d'Imhotep, qui est le premier architecte ? Depuis le XVIIe siècle, les clichés perdurent : "Qui bastit ment. Il n'a pas bien pris ses mesures." Le cinéma enfonce le clou : Fernandel oublie les toilettes de monsieur le maire, tandis que Jamel Debbouze, alias Numérobis, pose la mosaïque d'un atrium avant de s'occuper des évacuations. L'architecte ne laisse pas indifférent. Personnage de roman ou de film, de bande dessinée ou de jeu pour enfants, à la une des journaux et des magazines, en timbre ou billet de banque, il est l'un des hérauts de notre temps. Perruqué ou poudré, en redingote ou en T-shirt noir, affublé de ses tés, compas ou ordinateurs, seul ou aux côtés de ses commanditaires, l'architecte dévoile ses multiples facettes dans ce livre, immortalisé par les plus grands peintres, graveurs, sculpteurs, photographes, illustrateurs et réalisateurs.
