This volume surveys Paul Chan’s publications and works made between 2010 and 2022 following his return to artmaking. The exhibition takes as its organizing principle the notion of the “breather,” a word that can signify a moment of rest or pause but can also reference a purposeful redirection toward other activities. Chan’s turn to publishing through the founding of his independent press Badlands Unlimited represented a type of “breather.” Badlands for Chan embodied a radical break that seeded new ideas and ways of working. The term is also what Chan titles a recent major body of work. Breathers is an ongoing series of pneumatic sculptures and installations that he considers a new genre of moving-image works. Tacitly and overtly, the metaphor of the “breather” underscores each of the works in the Walker Art Center exhibition, which, with the artist’s input, is conceived in four sections.

Depuis son origine, la sociologie s’est emparée de la question de la place des religions dans le monde contemporain et explore avec passion les changements du religieux. Le bouddhisme, qui se développe dans des sociétés éloignées et diverses, constitue à cet égard un terrain fertile pour le chercheur par les possibilités de comparaisons qu’il offre. À partir de données récoltées auprès de trois organisations chan (zen), toutes fondées dans les années 1980 mais situées respectivement en Chine populaire, à Taïwan et en France, ce livre reprend la question de la modernité religieuse sous l’angle spécifique de ses rapports à la temporalité. Dans un va-et-vient subtil entre le Temple Chan Bailin reconstruit sous le régime post-maoïste, la Société Chan Moderne fondée à Taipei dans un environnement urbain, et le Village des Pruniers, centre bouddhique international installé en Dordogne, l’ouvrage montre comment ces acteurs bouddhistes négocient des ajustements entre une temporalité moderne, à la fois réflexive, tournée vers le futur et encline au changement accéléré, et une temporalité religieuse renvoyant essentiellement à un impératif de continuité. Les réformes à l’œuvre sont ainsi analysées selon quatre dimensions : réinterprétation des lignées spirituelles, reformulation des doctrines, réorganisation des pratiques collectives et reconfiguration des rapports d’autorité. En conjuguant rigueur de l’observation et souci théorique, cette enquête « asiatique » renouvelle avec acuité une question cardinale de la sociologie des religions.
