Résumé:
In making light his primary medium, Dan Flavin (1933–1996) established himself as one of the most innovative and significant artists of the minimalist movement. A new generation encountered Flavin’s work through the critically acclaimed exhibition "Dan Flavin : a retrospective", which opened in October 2004 at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. "Dan Flavin : new light" includes essays that respond to this exhibition and to the renewed interest in Flavin’s work and its place in 20th-century art. In this volume, six leading scholars of contemporary art consider the ambiguities and multiple resonances of Flavin’s light works. Each addresses the ontological complexity of the work –object-based, yet "situational", and painterly in its deployment of colored light – within the insistently sculptural world of minimalism. The book’s contributors interpret this tension by exploring Flavin’s early assemblages, the relationship of drawing to his installation practice, the specificity of his materials and their operation in actual space, and the openly ambivalent place of Flavin’s work within the history of late modernism.

La transparence, valeur invariablement positive, traverse tous les champs de la pensée, par-delà les idéologies, et constitue une clé de lecture de notre temps, en termes psychologiques, philosophiques, sociaux, économiques et politiques. Ce livre, outre une nouvelle traduction française du texte visionnaire de Paul Scheerbart, offre une série d'entrées parallèles dans cette notion de transparence et documente intégralement l'exposition réalisée par Guillaume Désanges et François Piron à laVilla Arson, Nice : "Intouchable (L'Idéal Transparence". Une exposition qui, à travers une sélection d'œuvres majeures issues de l'art contemporain des quarante dernières années, propose une immersion dans la transparence, et construit un parcours idéal et sensuel sur les rapports entre transparence, réflexion et opacité, dans un mouvement qui mène de l'idéal à ses dévoiements.

A meditation on the dilemmas and desires for home that combines the writings of art critic and cultural historian Rebecca Solnit with painter Stefan Kürten’s lush images of domestic interiors, buildings and landscapes. Solnit reflects on emotional privatization, real-estate fetishism, and aesthetic pleasure, while Kürten’s paintings of stale bourgeois interiors and suburban homes project a dogged attempt to make life perfect, at least on the surface. His armchairs, teapots and planter boxes suggest that we are living in a peculiar state of safety and bliss. Together, the text and images question the equation of ideal houses with ideal lives, the images that shape our perception of childhood, and our notion of a fulfilled adulthood.

Résumé:
Prints, books and multiples have long played a vital role in the vanguard of European contemporary art. From London to Moscow, artists have expanded the scope of their creative vision - and expanded their audiences - through striking and inventive uses of the printing press, the silkscreen and now electronic media. Beginning with the explosion of mass production techniques in the early 1960s and continuing with innovative projects by young artists working today, this comprehensive catalogue identifies significant developments in printed art over the past 45 years, offering the first fully synthesized analysis of this fertile period in European printmaking. Thematic chapters follow topics anchored by leading figures like Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Daniel Buren, Richard Hamilton, Damien Hirst, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Bridget Riley and Dieter Roth. In addition to a unifying analytical introduction, each section of "Eye on Europe" includes an essay and colour illustrations, making for a total of more than 290 images by more than 120 artists. Along with a thorough chronology of the period and biographies of the artists and publishers included, the publication also incorporates two original artists’ projects.

Résumé:
Gordon Matta-Clark, scion and rebel, died at 35 in 1978 and has since become a cult figure of late-twentieth-century art. Born in New York and trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the field's conventions in vivid projects that excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New York City alleys and curbs. As the son of the Chilean-born Surrealist painter Roberto Matta and Anne Clark, and godson of Marcel Duchamp, with whom he played a regular game of chess in the Village, Matta-Clark had grown up inside the art world, also working an as assistant to mavericks like Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson. His work and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an "artist's artist," and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention and affection, were always also grounded in social or political convictions. He addressed not only space and real estate (in other words, housing), but the ultimate in necessity and nourishment, food. His "Pig Roast" under the Brooklyn Bridge offered passersby 500 pork sandwiches, and Food, the artist-staffed restaurant that he opened with dancer Caroline Goodden in SoHo, became a headquarters for that nascent neighborhood in the early 70s. He consistently broke the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, photography and film, performance and installation, and above all the permanent and the transitory. Once in a while he also broke the law. This book, published in celebration of the gradual opening of Matta-Clark's archives at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, collects previously unavailable writings, including notecards and notebooks, along with interviews and more than 100 illustrations.

Résumé:
Over the past decade, a seismic shift in economic and political forces has transformed life in the second-largest city on the West Coast, situated at the most heavily trafficked international border crossing in the world. Tijuana’s newfound wealth and haphazard expansion have changed patterns of migration for the city’s many artists, who once routinely moved north to Los Angeles but are now staying or returning, and being joined by friends from Mexico City and beyond. This flourishing, strengthening artistic community has responded to the city’s accelerated evolution with a broad range of work, from painting to conceptually driven installations; from street-level digital video to ambitious photo-documentation, filmmaking and political work; from architectural proposals to product design associated with the "Nortec" musical movement. The work gathered in "Strange new world" embraces Tijuana as a paradigm of a new postmodern form of urbanization shaped by the pressures of economic globalization and cultural transnationalism since 1994. It struggles to make sense of new realities changing the ways in which people live in cities around the globe. Like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, it is part science fiction, part political commentary and part artistic revolution and cultural critique. Arranged around the concepts of the urban theorist Michael Smith, it features work by ERRE, Einar and Jamex de la Torre and Yvonne Venegas, among others.

Organized by Betti-Sue Hertz, "Transmission" offers new perspectives on the impact of Matta's role in the development of late Surrealism and Matta-Clark's influence on the 1970s SoHo art scene. Both artists were originally trained as architects, and though they ostensibly rejected the profession in favor of art, each relied strongly on concepts of architectural space as they forged new practices in art. This illustrated publication compares Matta's metaphysical concepts and gestural pictorial practice with Matta-Clark's conceptually driven drawings and cut buildings; illustrates how aspects of Surrealism, especially as filtered through the work of Marcel Duchamp, were adopted by Matta-Clark and his circle; and explores the commonalities and differences in Matta's depictions of interior mindscapes and Matta-Clark's physical actions on buildings in the urban milieu. The catalogue presents essays and research by art historian Briony Fer, art critic Justo Pastor Mellado, architectural theorist Anthony Vidler, and the San Diego Museum of Art's curator of contemporary art, Betti-Sue Hertz.
