Abstract

Ragnar Kjartansson's work is a cross-over between performance and cinema, sculpture and opera, plein air painting and music. He often produces large-scale multidisciplinary projects and the production of his works often requires the collaboration of several participants – actors, musicians, friends, and family members. Experimenting with the mechanisms of theatre and the dramatic impulses of tragedy, Kjartansson succeeds in bringing emotions out of melodramatic actions and revealing the reality on which relies every interpretation. Published on the occasion of Ragnar Kjartansson's solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, “Seul celui qui connaît le désir.”

Abstract

Peter Greenaway Architecture and Allegory / Bridget Elliott and Anthony Purdy. A painter by training, Peter Greenaway is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and controversial of contemporary British film-makers. He is also a much sought-after curator of exhibitions and installations. Greenaway's fascination for architecture is well known and this monograph emphasises his use of architecture as a structuring device as well as a metaphor and vehicle for the exploration of artistic practice in general. Looking at all his best known movies - The Draughtsman's Contract, A Zed and Two Noughts, The Belly of an Architect, Drowning by Numbers, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Prospero's Books, The Baby of Mâcon and The Pillow Book - the study discusses both curatorial work and films in relation to current debates in architecture, art history and cultural theory. Lavishly illustrated with his own art work and numerous stunning film stills, this is a highly visual as well as critical examination of the many issues surrounding Greenaway's idiosyncratic work.

Abstract

Luxueux livre d'artiste (constitué de plusieurs éléments rassemblés dans un coffret) basé sur le film 16 mm éponyme du cinéaste chypriote Haris Epaminonda : une déconstruction poétique et encyclopédique de l'oeuvre la plus accomplie de l'artiste à ce jour qui prolonge la réflexion sur la nature même du cinéma, engagée avec le film. Tourné en 16 mm à Chypre en 2012, le film Chapters a été présenté dans le cadre de plusieurs expositions : Kunsthaus Zürich, Modern Art Oxford, Point Centre for Contemporary Art, Nicosie (2013) et Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venise (2014). Elaboré, dans sa structure narrative même, au gré de ces présentations, conçu comme une sorte d'objet sculptural en mouvement, sans forme figée, le film est construit sur une succession de séquences poétiques méticuleusement mises en scène, des «tableaux» inspirés de la peinture de la Renaissance de Fra Angelico, du cinéma arménien de Sergueï Paradjanov, des univers de Dante et de Pasolini, aussi bien que du théâtre japonais Kabuki. L'artiste y développe, au travers des thèmes de l'amour, du désir, de la mort et du rituel, une réflexion sur la nature même du cinéma. Constitué de plusieurs éléments rassemblés dans un luxueux coffret, le livre est conçu comme une tentative d'archivage encyclopédique du film, compilant sur 26 posters dépliants des centaines d'éléments visuels référencés et annotés, sources d'inspiration, documents (géographiques, historiques, culturels et notamment rituels) et matériaux utilisés dans le film, aux côtés des photogrammes du film présentés sur 64 pages reliées. Un document qui constitue une «cartographie mémorielle» d'où émergent des associations nouvelles entre image et sujet, source et information, signification et abstraction.

Abstract

Eponymously titled with his award winning 2014 film, "A Certain Amount of Clarity" is the first monograph dedicated to the artistic practice of Emmanuel Van der Auwera whose work describes our experience of digitized life operating at intersections of documentary, reconstruction and fiction. His practice is one that demonstrates the impact of emerging technologies on perception and civic dialogue, building platforms for marginalized actors and engaging with technicians and scientists to explore the balance of ethics and aesthetics in new media. Through filmmaking, video sculpture, theatre, printmaking, and other media, Van der Auwera sets up encounters with found images that provoke a questioning of our visual literacy: How do images of contemporary mass media operate on various publics, and to what end? With the formal rigor of a logician, Van der Auwera dissects how images are engineered, mastering specialized industry techniques and intervening on their protocol. In so doing, Van der Auwera brings us no closer to a monolithic truth, but constructs new paradigms for reading images and understanding our relationships with them.0The monograph moves through works that build on the early film and is broken into 4 main sections, each addressed by a different author.

Abstract

Francis Alÿs has documented children at play all over the world, from kids playing knucklebones in Nepal to musical chairs in Mexico or flying kites in Afghanistan. He filmed in peaceful towns and villages, but also against the backdrop of conflict and tension, such as at a Yezidi refugee camp in Iraq or in besieged Kabul. This book shows the ways children everywhere pass the time and create their own fantasies in games and leisure, whether skipping stones, sandcastles, marbles, or hopscotch. The project is presented here as a series for the first time, with contributions by journalist Lorna Scott Fox, filmmaker David MacDougall, and art critic and curator Cuauhtémoc Medina.

Abstract

Artists, filmmakers, art historians, poets, literary critics, anthropologists, theorists, and others, investigate one of the most vital areas of cultural practice: documentary. Contemporary engagements with documentary are multifaceted and complex, reaching across disciplines to explore the intersections of politics and aesthetics, representation and reality, truth and illusion. Discarding the old notions of “fly on the wall” immediacy or quasi-scientific aspirations to objectivity, critics now understand documentary not as the neutral picturing of reality but as a way of coming to terms with reality through images and narrative. This book collects writings by artists, filmmakers, art historians, poets, literary critics, anthropologists, theorists, and others, to investigate one of the most vital areas of cultural practice: documentary. Their investigations take many forms—essays, personal memoirs, interviews, poetry. Contemporary art turned away from the medium and toward the world, using photography and the moving image to take up global perspectives. Documentary filmmakers, meanwhile, began to work in the gallery context. The contributors consider the hybridization of art and film, and the “documentary turn” of contemporary art. They discuss digital technology and the “crisis of faith” caused by manipulation and generation of images, and the fading of the progressive social mandate that has historically characterized documentary. They consider invisible data and visible evidence; problems of archiving; and surveillance and biometric control, forms of documentation that call for “informatic opacity” as a means of evasion.
