Résumé:
Since their inception with New York's Crystal Palace Exhibition in the mid-nineteenth century, world's fairs have introduced Americans to “exotic” pleasures such as belly dancing and the Ferris Wheel; pathbreaking technologies such as telephones and X rays; and futuristic architectural, landscaping, and transportation schemes. Billed by their promoters as “encyclopedias of civilization,” the expositions impressed tens of millions of fairgoers with model environments and utopian visions. Setting more than 30 world’s fairs from 1853 to 1984 in their historical context, the authors show that the expositions reflected and influenced not only the ideals but also the cultural tensions of their times. As mainstays rather than mere ornaments of American life, world’s fairs created national support for such issues as the social reunification of North and South after the Civil War, U.S. imperial expansion at the turn of the 20th-century, consumer optimism during the Great Depression, and the essential unity of humankind in a nuclear age.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage ouvre les portes des plus grands musées d’Europe qui, dans toute la diversité de leur conception et de leurs collections, ont eu pour volonté commune d’offrir une histoire des arts et des cultures. L’on découvrira les collections encyclopédiques du Vatican, les sculptures classiques de la cour du Belvédère, les collections impériales russes des palais de l’Ermitage, les collections des Habsbourg réunies au Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne, les collections des Bourbons conservées au musée du Prado. L’on verra dans le musée du Louvre et dans le British Museum, la réalisation du rêve napoléonien de musée universel. Dans le projet d’une citadelle de la culture, l’on reconnaîtra le système muséal prussien installé sur la Museumsinsel de Berlin, et, plus circonscrit, le Rijskmuseum d’Amsterdam. Huit chapitres et un corpus photographique pour connaître l’historique de ces musées, la genèse et l’évolution des collections, pour cheminer à travers ces lieux emblématiques qui accueillent des chefs-d’œuvre de l’Histoire. Introduction d'Antonio Paolucci. Rédaction scientifique de Valerio Terraroli.

Résumé:
"Old Europe" is beginning to show strong signs of renewed vitality, to judge from the results of this latest edition of the European Union prize for contemporary architecture - Mies van der Rohe award 2003. And not only because 269 works were selected, or because the number of competing countries (particularly those of Eastern Europe) is steadily increasing, bit also by virtue of the high average standard of the entries, particularly of the winning projects and 40 runner-up featured in this catalogue. In the end, the winning project encompasses all this : Zaha Hadid's tram station in Strasbourg is at the same time a strategy, open-ended, imperfect, intelligent and playful. But it also resolved and unafraid to identify with conventional architectural qualities.

Résumé:
Photographer Annie Leibowitz collaborates with American Express on a portrait exhibition. Absolut Vodka engages artists for their advertisements. Philip Morris mounts an "Arts Against Hunger" campaign in partnership with prominent museums. Is it art or PR, and where is the line that separates the artistic from the corporate? According to Mark Rectanus, that line has blurred. These mergers of art, business, and museums, he argues, are examples of the worldwide privatization of cultural funding. In Culture Incorporated, Rectanus calls for full disclosure of corporate involvement in cultural events and examines how corporations, art institutions, and foundations are reshaping the cultural terrain. In turn, he also shows how that ground is destabilized by artists subverting these same institutions to create a heightened awareness of critical alternatives. Rectanus exposes how sponsorship helps maintain social legitimation in a time when corporations are the target of significant criticism. He provides wide-ranging examples of artists and institutions grappling with corporate sponsorship, including artists' collaboration with sponsors, corporate sponsorship of museum exhibitions, festivals, and rock concerts, and cybersponsoring. Throughout, Rectanus analyzes the convergence of cultural institutions with global corporate politics and its influence on our culture and our communities. Mark W. Rectanus is professor of German at Iowa State University.
