Résumé:
Douzième titre de la collection " l'atelier du sculpteur ", le catalogue Paysages d'entre-villes est consacré à la question du paysage contemporain, aux limites de la ville et de la nature sauvage dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler les terrains vagues, les territoires périphériques, les friches. Autan de paysage dont le lien direct avec nos craintes inconscientes n'a rien à envier aux paysages extrêmes des romantiques. C'est dans les zones périphériques que l'on trouve aujourd'hui les mystères, les légendes, les frayeurs qui, autrefois, hantaient les forêts aux abords des villes et des villages. C'est cet équilibre instable et dynamique du paysage qu'abordent les artistes réunis dans le catalogue de cette exposition en confrontation avec la série "Sculpture pour l'architecture" que Zadkine a réalisée dans la deuxième moitié des années 1960.

Résumé:
Recalling the short-lived Bureau de recherches surréalistes of 1924–1925 - part information centre and ‘public relations’ office, and part surrealist archive - Mark Dion has trawled the Manchester Museum’s own collections and found the raw material for this book and a new installation in the museum. Museums’ attempts to classify and present the world in miniature inevitably mean that much of their collections are forgotten and marginalized. Renowned for his work exploring taxonomy, archaeology and ecology, Mark Dion in his "Bureau" documents his opportunistic encounters with the Museum of Manchester’s neglected drawers and overlooked recesses that are home to redundant labels, orphaned mounts, defunct teaching models, botanical freaks, Egyptian fakes and the minutiae that have fallen through the cracks of museum practice and lain abandoned. Dion’s "Bureau of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and its Legacy" is both a repository for the detritus of museum life and a working process, classifying the museum’s un-classifiable whilst exploring the bureaucratic workings of the institution.

Résumé:
Over the last 15 years, von Bonin has produced sculpture, photography, textile "paintings," installation, performance, film, video and music--often combined in large installations. This generous survey addresses ideas of play, indoctrination, structure, improvisation, cultural and gender representations, identity and self-reflection--with both absurdity and humor.

Résumé:
Here is the flip-side of John Chamberlain's well-known crushed car sculptures: his work in foam. Just as revelatory in their formal sophistication, these works, primarily made from 1966 to 1970, with a few made in the late 1970s and early 1980s, boggle the eye with their simplicity.

Résumé:
Here is the flip-side of John Chamberlain's well-known crushed car sculptures: his work in foam. Just as revelatory in their formal sophistication, these works, primarily made from 1966 to 1970, with a few made in the late 1970s and early 1980s, boggle the eye with their simplicity. To make them, Chamberlain looped rope around a mass of plain or painted urethane foam and tightened it to create dynamic tensions, which resulted in seductively rounded volumes. These sculptures are essential to Chamberlain's oeuvre, and this is the first publication to address them. Its first section is based on the Marfa, Texas, Chinati Foundation exhibition of 2005-2006, with installation shots and photographs of each exhibited piece; the second section assembles a total of 85 foam sculptures, constituting an almost complete catalogue of this group, and an update to Chamberlain's catalogue raisonne of 1986. Essays by Klaus Kertess, Iris Winkelmeyer and Marianne Stockebrand treat the sculptures in the larger context of Chamberlain's oeuvre and discuss the issue of conservation.

Résumé:
Foreword by Ann Philbin. Edited and with text by Russell Ferguson. The Politics of Rehearsal accompanies the first large-scale American museum exhibit on Francis Alys, one of the most acclaimed artists working today. The centerpiece of the book is Alys' Rehearsal (Ensayo) series, but a number of related earlier works are included. "Ensayo 1, 1999-2000" shows a red Volkswagen Beetle attempting to ascend a steep hill in Tijuana: its attempts are synchronized with the sound track of Mexican danzon musicians rehearsing. "Ensayo 2, 2005" follows the rehearsal of a dancer practicing a striptease, and "Ensayo 3" will be produced by Alys specifically for the exhibition. Other works include "When Faith Moves Mountains" and "Song for Lupita," as well as many paintings, photographs and drawings. This significant new publication contains a DVD and an in-depth exploration of Alys's oeuvre by Russell Ferguson, organizer of the exhibition, focusing on the theme of rehearsal, which is so characteristic of Alys' work.

Né en 1972 à Hammond, Indiana, Wade Guyton vit et travaille à New York. Ses œuvres assument la structure et l’apparence de peintures au sens traditionnel du terme, et réalisent pourtant un bouleversement complet des codes du modernisme. Elle sont produites à l’aide de très grandes imprimantes jet d’encre dans lesquelles Guyton fait passer plusieurs fois la toile pour y imprimer des motifs et lettrages dont les erreurs, les coulures et les défauts d’impression font partie du programme général de composition.

Résumé:
The woven/Intersected/Reciewed series, gathering preparatory material, documentation on the works, and essays by critics or the artists themselves, these volumes contribute a discussion around commissioning, the notions of public vs. private collection, and the relationship between artists and patrons. Liam Gillick’s book shows the realization of his designs in conference rooms, corridors, and offices, coinciding with his sustained interest in the negotiation of a middle ground between corporate culture and contemporary art. The volume is accompanied by an artist’s essay discussing the dissolution of the public/private dichotomy into a grey zone of semi-public/semi-private spheres.
