Résumé:
Comment concilier l'appel au rêve et le souci du réel, la psychanalyse et le matérialisme dialectique? La question se pose au surréalisme à la fin des années vingt, lorsque le mouvement, fondé par André Breton, se met «au service de la révolution». Cette allégeance suppose une remise en cause du rôle social de l'artiste, de la fétichisation marchande de ses œuvres, à quoi répond l'invention de l'objet surréaliste. Ce dictionnaire-catalogue qui accompagne l'exposition «Le surréalisme et l'objet», présentée au Centre Pompidou du 30 octobre 2013 au 3 mars 2014, retrace les étapes d'un questionnement, d'une création, qui provoque l'avènement de l'objet, fait proliférer la figure du mannequin et conduit à la mise en scène des expositions.

Résumé:
Flowers and Mushrooms takes readers inside the rich and diverse symbolism of its eponymous subjects. Flowers have at times stood for freshness and fertility, transience and death. In addition to its ubiquitous and much-maligned image as a hallucinogen, the mushroom has throughout history signified health and life and served as an important symbol within religious ritual. In recent years though, flowers and mushrooms have become a focus in contemporary art, with artists manipulating the many clichés that surround them and adapting their representation to produce new and unexpected layers of meaning, from social criticism to feminism and the conceptual framework of the erotic.

Résumé:
This publication accompanies parallel exhibitions at The Drawing Center, New York, and Drawing Room, London, that explore the relationship between linguistic communication and drawing in recent art. Throughout the twentieth century, and in particular since the 1960s, artists have mined language for the subject and matter of their art, incorporating the mode, format and meaning of text into their work. Together the two exhibitions present an international selection of artists spanning the 1960s to today, including, at The Drawing Center, Carl Andre, Pavel Büchler, Guy de Cointet, Mirtha Dermisache, Sean Landers, Allen Ruppersberg, Nina Papaconstantinou, Deb Sokolow and Molly Springfield; and at Drawing Room, Pavel Büchler, Johanna Calle, Annabel Daou, Matias Faldbakken, Karl Holmqvist, Bernardo Ortiz and Shahzia Sikander.

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.
