Résumé:
Challenging European cultural conventions, the work of Swiss-Bolivian artist Carmen Perrin is infused with fine undertones and references to her Latin American roots. In her preference for industrial mass-produced materials she transposes electric wire, cables and building materials into a subtle, ambiguous imagery and sculptures which activate the surrounding space. This publication presents 15 of her most important art-in-architecture interventions: in the Zurich headquarters of the Swiss National Bank, the Dock Midfield Terminal of Zurich-Kloten Airport, Lucerne's Gynaecological Hospital and further projects in France, Brazil, USA (New York) and Switzerland. Carmen Perrin, born in Bolivia in 1953,immigrated to Switzerland in 1960.She now lives in France and teaches at Geneva's École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts.

Résumé:
In the 1960s art fell out of time; both artists and critics lost their temporal bearings in response to what E. M. Cioran called "not being entitled to time." This anxiety and uneasiness about time, which Pamela Lee calls "chronophobia," cut across movements, media, and genres, and was figured in works ranging from kinetic sculptures to Andy Warhol films.

Résumé:
In the 1960s art fell out of time; both artists and critics lost their temporal bearings in response to what E. M. Cioran called "not being entitled to time." This anxiety and uneasiness about time, which Pamela Lee calls "chronophobia," cut across movements, media, and genres, and was figured in works ranging from kinetic sculptures to Andy Warhol films. Despite its pervasiveness, the subject of time and 1960s art has gone largely unexamined in historical accounts of the period. Chronophobia is the first critical attempt to define this obsession and analyze it in relation to art and technology. Lee discusses the chronophobia of art relative to the emergence of the Information Age in postwar culture. The accompanying rapid technological transformations, including the advent of computers and automation processes, produced for many an acute sense of historical unknowing; the seemingly accelerated pace of life began to outstrip any attempts to make sense of the present. Lee sees the attitude of 1960s art to time as a historical prelude to our current fixation on time and speed within digital culture. Reflecting upon the 1960s cultural anxiety about temporality, she argues, helps us historicize our current relation to technology and time.

Résumé:
An indispensable handbook on art in the public sphere with profoundly thoughtful texts by curators, artists, and art historians. Few topics in the visual arts have created such controversy recently as the debate surrounding the significance and potential of public art. In response to this, "Public Art" was published in a bilingual edition and quickly sold out. The book has now been republished in separate language editions. In this handbook, over fifty authors take a critical look at the subject of public art: the result is a fascinating compendium of opinions and statements, experiences and reports. The wide-ranging material by curators, art historians, and artists is divided into "Art and the City", "Art and Architecture", "Art and History", "Art and Society", "Art and the Exhibition", and "Art and the Public". Contributors include Vito Acconci, Daniel Buren, Dan Graham, Walter Grasskamp, Hans Haacke, Ilya Kabakov, Kasper König, Joseph Kosuth, Florian Matzner, Ulrich Rückriem, Lawrence Weiner among many others.

Résumé:
Ed Ruscha is one of the first Americans to introduce a critique of popular culture and an examination of language into the visual arts. Although he first made his reputation as a painter, Ruscha is also celebrated for his drawings (made both with conventional materials and with food, blood, gunpowder, and shellac), prints, films, photographs, and books. He is often associated with Los Angeles as a Pop and Conceptualist hub, but tends to regard such labels with a satirical, if not jaundiced, eye. Indeed, his work is characterized by the tensions between high and low, solemn and irreverent, and serious and nonsensical, and it draws on popular culture as well as Western art traditions. "Leave Any Information at the Signal" not only documents the work of this influential artist as he rose to prominence but also contains his writings and commentaries on other artistic developments of the period. The book is divided into three parts, each of which is arranged chronologically. Part one contains statements, letters, and other writings. Part two consists of more than fifty interviews, some of which have never before been published or translated into English. Part three contains sketchbook pages, word groupings, and other notes that chart how Ruscha develops ideas and solves artistic problems. They are published here for the first time. The book also contains more than eighty illustrations, selected and arranged by the artist.

Résumé:
"Space" is a photographic exploration of Japanese architecture and design in size-constricted areas, exploring imaginative, ingenious, and revolutionary solutions to space-compromised living. Masters in the art of managing small spaces, the Japanese in their design have given rise to a particular style of ingenuity. In their work, Japanese interior designers and architects constantly draw on cultural traditions, while using a modern, even radical approach. Whether in the use of lightweight partitions to create flexible spaces, deliberate profligacy to give a feeling of generosity, or strange perspectives, the results are not mere workaday solutions, but artistic and unusual ones that can turn a lack of space into a surfeit of style.

Résumé:
Robert Smithson (1938–1973), an artist of paramount importance in postwar America, created radical new perspectives for landscape architecture, photography, art criticism, and site-specific installation. His Spiral Jetty - a 1,500-foot-long coil of rock built in 1970 at the edge of the Great Salt Lake - is widely appreciated as one of the most significant art projects of the twentieth century. Less well known is the connection between the Jetty and the nearby Golden Spike National Historic Site, location of the completion of the first U.S. transcontinental railroad. The link between these two monuments is but one facet of an entire complex of historical reference and reflection that structures Smithson’s work. Mirror-Travels encompasses the full span of Smithson’s career, offering a close analysis of the artist’s working model of history and featuring comprehensive case studies of three of his most influential works: The Monuments of Passaic, Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan, and the Spiral Jetty. Incorporating abundant new material from Smithson’s personal papers and library, Jennifer Roberts offers surprising new interpretations about the artist and his responses to the social, ideological, and material contradictions of his time.

Résumé:
Si la notion d’art public apparaît maintenant entendue de tous, elle n’épuise point l’apport des artistes à la fondation ou refondation de la ville. Parce que leur démarche à pour objet un dévoilement du monde, ces derniers contribuent à révéler le caractère des lieux ou espaces. Ainsi, en concourant non plus seulement à l’embellissement de la ville via la statuaire ou les fameux "1 %", mais à l’élaboration même du projet urbain, ils participent à la réflexion sur le devenir de la ville contemporaine. De la sorte les interventions artistiques en milieu urbain ne sont plus la transposition en extérieur de l’art muséal mais une nouvelle dimension de l’aménagement. À visiter les oeuvres d’artistes comme Andrea Blum, Daniel Buren, Nathalie Dubois & Mustafa Sanaoui, Bill Fontana, Dani Karavan, Yann Kersalé, Tania Mouraud et bien d’autres créateurs dont Dominique Perrault à observer les nombreuses expériences en Allemagne, France, Hollande ainsi que par le monde.
