Abstract

Les audaces et les ruptures radicales de l'art contemporain avec tout ce qui a pu se faire en matière d'art avant lui sont proprement déroutantes. Ce livre en propose un éclairage n'omettant aucune forme de création, mais surtout prenant soin de situer les diverses démarches artistiques les unes par rapport aux autres. On n'a donc pas seulement un dictionnaire de plus des arts contemporains, mais un véritable système théorique articulant la multitude des propositions artistiques contemporaines. En même temps, l'histoire de l'art contemporain est articulée non seulement à l'histoire de l'art qui précède, mais aussi à l'Histoire générale contemporaine avec ses faits les plus troublants : totalitarismes, génocides, guerre nucléaire, terrorisme international...

Abstract

The year 1989 was a turning point in Chinese art : it shifted from modernism or avant-gardism to so called "contemporary art". However, this shift, unlike that in the West after World War Two, wasn't the logical result of post-modernist theories. Art in China may be influenced by Western art, but it is also severely constrained by the state political system and ideology, as well as a particular historical background ; the shift had complex causes, which produced a specific language and artistic forms. This book provide an historical review and analysis of the political and social realities of China since the end of the Cold War, and more specifically after the June 6 suppression of the student movement on Tiananmen Square. This book also analyses the global context of the new century and points out some issues that must be faced in the judgment of Chinese contemporary art.

Abstract

Throughout the built world of late, museums have been leading the way in architecture--a far cry from the days of antiseptic white cubes, when museums were afraid that signature design might compete with the art on display. Some of the most interesting international architects working today, people like Zaha Hadid, Daniel Liebeskind, Renzo Piano, and Tadao Andao, are creating buildings intended to house art--and to function as works of art themselves. One of the most radical and highly anticipated of these structures is Zaha Hadid's Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) for the city of Cincinnati, set to open its doors in 2003. The CAC will be one of the first museums anywhere in the world designed by a woman, as well as Hadid's first museum and first building in the United States. A $15 million project with 20,000 square feet of galleries set on a smallish, 11,000-square-foot lot in the downtown area, it shows that the institution that stood by the Mapplethorpe show has extended its risk-taking attitude and its integrity to the building that will accommodate its future shows. The seven stories of galleries--each constructed in a variety of heights and floor materials--are housed in horizontal tubes and cantilevered toward the street. An "urban carpet" begins at street level and zigzags up the building's supporting wall, providing visual and physical access to each of the galleries in a continuous flow--but without the awkwardness of the tilted ramp that spirals through Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum in New York. The exterior of the building weaves together the concrete shell and metal cladding of the galleries, the glass windows of the offices, and various electronic displays like ahigh-tech quilt--and a perfect expression of the various activities so well-contained within. Space for Art will include broad documentation of all stages of the architectural process, expressed in paintings, drawings, and models; short texts; and photographs of the finished building by Helene Binet.

Abstract

"Il était temps de consacrer un ouvrage aux œuvres médiocres du Petit Maître liégeois Jacques Lizène. Depuis 1964, celui-ci, remarquable machine à faire et refaire, à défaire aussi toutes nos certitudes, s' ingénie, avec un rare talent, à produire des œuvres nulles et 'sans talent'. Ce livre accumule donc les projets foireux, les travaux non séductifs, éloge du fiasco et de la débandade ; un grand œuvre constitué de Dessins minable, de Projets inachevés, de peintures au caca représentant d'ennuyeux murs de briques, de Sculptures nulles, de Facéties comportementales piteusement clownesques ponctuées de grands Ha! ha! ha! Une œuvre rare donc, continuellement commentée par le Petit Maître lui-même dans un souci d'autohistoricité revendiquée."--
