Abstract

"For more than two decades, the artist-activist LaToya Ruby Frazier has used photography, text, moving images, and performance to revive and preserve forgotten narratives of labor, gender, and race in the postindustrial era. Frazier has cultivated a practice that builds on the legacy of the social documentary tradition of the 1930s, the photo-conceptual forays of the 1960s and 1970s, and the work of socially conscious writers like Upton Sinclair, James Baldwin, and bell hooks. Monuments of Solidarity celebrates the creativity and collaboration that persist in the face of industrialization and deindustrialization, racial and environmental injustice, gender disparities, unequal access to health care and clean water, and the erosion or denial of fundamental human rights. A form of Black feminist world-building, Frazier's nontraditional 'monuments' demand recognition of the crucial role that women and people of color have played, and continue to play, in histories of labor and the working class. Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum survey dedicated to the artist, LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity presents the full range of her practice and includes both rarely seen and brand-new bodies of work. An illuminating overview essay by the exhibition's curator, Roxana Marcoci, is accompanied by a manifesto by the artist and a suite of focused essays by other curators and scholars"--

Abstract

"With the global rise of a politics of shock driven by authoritarian regimes that subvert the rule of law and civil liberties, what paths to resistance, sanctuary, and change can cultural institutions offer? What about activism in curatorial practice? In this book, more than twenty leading curators and thinkers about contemporary art present powerful case studies, historical analyses, and theoretical perspectives that address the dynamics of activism, protest, and advocacy. What unfolds in these pages is a vast range of ideas-a tool kit for cultural producers everywhere to engage audiences and face the fierce political challenges of today and tomorrow. Contributors Defne Ayas, Ute Meta Bauer, Nicolas Bourriaud, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Joshua Decter, Clémentine Deliss, Irmgard Emmelhainz, Boris Groys, Hou Hanru, Pi Li, Maria Lind, Steven Henry Madoff, Antonia Majaca, Gabi Ngcobo, Hans Ulricht Obrist, Jack Persekian with Alison Ramer, María Belén Saéz de Ibarra, Terry Smith, Nato Thompson, Mick Wilson, Brian Kuan Wood, Tirdad Zolghadr

Abstract

L'exposition "Global(e) Resistance" pose de nouveaux jalons dans l'histoire de la collection du Musée national d'art moderne du Centre Pompidou, à travers plus d'une centaine d'oeuvres - acquises au cours de la dernière décennie - d'artistes contemporains issus en majorité des "Suds" (Afrique, Moyen-Orient, Asie, Amérique latine). Elle interroge les stratégies de résistance esthétique et éthique mises en oeuvre par ces artistes. Des luttes politiques aux questions postcoloniales, en passant par l'écologie ou les questions de genre, les artistes répondent à l'urgence des temps présents tout en proposant des alternatives.

Abstract

The first volume in the new "Plural" series, this publication seeks to critically dissect the term "activism", which today seems to have become a catchword for any woman's empowerment through the arts, and reveal the diversity of practices and realities that it comprises. Presenting a range of critical insights, perspectives, and practices from artists, activists, and academics, it reflects on the role of feminist interventions in the field of contemporary art, the public sphere, and politics. In the process, it touches upon broader questions of cultural difference, history, class, economic standing, ecological issues, and sexual orientation, as well as the ways in which these intersect.
