Résumé:
Peut-on saisir les arts dans la pluralité de leurs manifestations, de leurs contextes sociaux et historiques, de leurs fonctions aussi ? Tel est le pari de Jean-Marie Schaeffer, qui propose une série de coups de projecteur sur des points particulièrement révélateurs de la vie des arts. Les oeuvres d'art sont loin d'être toutes « plaisantes », que ce soit dans leur contenu ou dans leur forme. Beaucoup (et parmi les plus grandes) sont cognitivement et émotivement dissonantes pour celles et ceux qui s'y exposent. Pourtant, dans tous les cas, en faire l'expérience a une action libératrice et vivifiante, en même temps qu'apaisante, sur notre sensibilité, notre intellect et nos émotions. Cet ouvrage ne présuppose aucune connaissance historique ou technique, simplement de la curiosité. Son but est de nous encourager à ne pas rester cantonnés à ce que nous connaissons déjà des arts et à nous aventurer dans des territoires nouveaux.

Résumé:
Niki de Saint Phalle, Louise Bourgeois et Annette Messager : trois femmes, trois artistes, trois vies. Trois histoires passionnantes que tresse Nathalie Piégay, dans l'imbrication de l'existence quotidienne et de l'aventure artistique. Elle dit leur solitude et la part de folie qui les pousse à faire oeuvre, tout en cherchant à comprendre quels liens s'établissent entre elles. Peu à peu elle découvre tout ce qui les relie : la maternité, la cruauté, la révolte, la féminité, mais aussi l'invention de personnages, le recours au tissu et à la couture, et bien d'autres motifs. Le récit se tisse comme une toile d'araignée pour révéler l'être intime de femmes qui ont inventé des univers très singuliers et puissants, reconnaissables entre mille, et qui nous bouleversent. Raconter l'histoire de ces trois femmes, c'est s'approcher au plus près de la création.

Over the last few decades the term "bootlegging"—a practice once relegated to smugglers and copyright infringers—has become understood as a creative act. Debates about homage, appropriation, and theft that are common in the art world, are now being held in the spheres of corporate branding, social media, and the creative industry as a whole.

Résumé:
Over the last few decades the term "bootlegging"—a practice once relegated to smugglers and copyright infringers—has become understood as a creative act. Debates about homage, appropriation, and theft that are common in the art world, are now being held in the spheres of corporate branding, social media, and the creative industry as a whole. Today, bootlegging has become fetishized as an aesthetic in and of itself, influencing everything from underground record labels to DIY T-shirts, publishing ideologies, to acts of high fashion détournement. "Unlicensed" contains twenty-one interviews with a range of creative practitioners on the topic of bootlegging. The conversations in "Unlicensed" investigate bootlegging’s creative and critical potential, and explore new ways bootlegging can be deployed in order to thrive as an impactful cultural force.

Résumé:
A teacher to Jacques Lacan, André Breton, and Albert Camus, Kojève defined art as the act of extracting the beautiful from objective reality. His poetic text, "The Concrete Paintings of Kandinsky," endorses nonrepresentational art as uniquely manifesting beauty. Taking the paintings of his renowned uncle, Wassily Kandinsky, as his inspiration, Kojève suggests that in creating (rather than replicating) beauty, the paintings are themselves complete universes as concrete as the natural world. Kojève’s text considers the utility and necessity of beauty in life, and ultimately poses the involuted question: What is beauty?

Résumé:
This book is about bodies. Presenting the work of Dutch performance artist Mariken Overdijk, it explores how bodies traverse the familiar surroundings of one’s home or move along the familiar routes of everyday life, but also the relation of bodies to public space. On another level, the book also addresses how artistic research recounts the experiments and experiences, collections and vistas gained by the researcher during the course of their work. It shows that any good (artistic) research also creates futures. Overdijk makes clear that artworks are not singular events, but each creates a possibility that, however minimal, changes lives forever. Foreword by Jeroen Boomgaard.

Résumé:
The ways we encounter contemporary art and performance is changing. Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design. How are we expected to engage with today's diverse practise? Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling? Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice - research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernist architecture - and their challenges to traditional modes of attention. Charting a critical path through the last three decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures of digital technology.

Résumé:
''A User's Manual to Claire Fontaine'' explores the work of the feminist conceptual artist collective Claire Fontaine through the lens of her theoretical and political innovations, both inside and outside the context of contemporary art. Theorizing the ways in which Claire Fontaine's experimental approach can illuminate a more haptic, embodied practice of critical theory, this book delineates a series of theoretical techniques and procedures at the core of the artist's work, among them defunctionalization, Institutional Critique, human strike, tactile mimesis, desubjectivation, détournement, magic materialism, and feminist materialism.
