Abstract

Ever since the nineteen-nineties, curatorial discourse has revolved around the figure of the professional curator. Consequently, curatorial politics is usually considered the direct result of a curator's deliberate acts and intentions. Now, however, new institutional models and modes of exhibition practice together with key shifts in funding and collecting strategies have revealed aspects of curatorial politics over which the exhibition-maker has little or no control. The present volume presents a series of essays by noted art theorists and cultural scientists that go beyond the perspective of the individual curator to reveal these previously unexplored levels of curatorial politics.

Abstract

Raymond Pettibon counts among his muses Henry James, Mickey Spillane, Marcel Proust, William Blake, and Samuel Beckett, and pours their mutual influence, along with a bucket of West-coast punk rock, into elegant, aggressive watercolor cartoons. This selection includes everything from city streets to alien-on-human sex, captioned, ìit went on for 20 minutes instead of the required 2 because there was a live feed back home. (www.amazon.fr)

Abstract

Solidarity has re-entered the global zeitgeist with resounding force in the last decades and is especially urgent to consider today. Yet this concept – both a potent ideal and a slippery notion – is one of the least analysed within the arts. Why? It is perhaps because colonialism, Neoliberalism, hyper-individualism and Western-centred concepts of art have eroded visions of a care-based society. Creating a fair and vital social fabric inspired by mutual dependencies between living beings and all entities including fauna, flora, air, land and water, is fundamental for our collective existence. A critical toolbox with intersectional perspectives is needed to examine this minefield and reveal meaningful and inspiring narratives that can guide our future. Working with these complexities, this Reader considers the agency that artists, collectives and art institutions have generated from the 1970s to today to build the radical imaginaries of care and solidarity needed to transform the conditions of our collective existence in the face of local and global crises. Presenting new and historical material, the Reader narrates a series of stories of solidarity across geographies in relation to emergencies connected to ecocide, femicide, genocide, migration, neocolonialism, inter-religious conflicts, class divisions and heteronormativity, amongst others. It also gives a central place to Indigenous perspectives rarely considered when discussing solidarity in the arts.

Abstract

"Recent encounters between art and real life, the ubiquity of images of violence and humiliation in visual culture and the media, and the persistence of controversial debates on public and participatory art projects are raising fundamental questions about the importance of ethical decisions in art and curating. How far can provocation in art go, before it becomes cynical and abusive? Does 'good censorship' exist? Are ethical decisions seen as more urgent in participatory art? This reader introduces current notions of ethics in several contexts related to the cultural field. Responding to the instrumentalization of ethics as a privileged tool of neoliberalism, the reader claims the need for an ethics that critically reflects the mechanisms of contemporary global power structures. The contributions discuss models of subjective and situational ethics and pit them against a canon of unquestioned principles and upturned notions of ethics and human rights" --Publisher's description

Abstract

Published to accompany the first large-scale retrospective of Alighiero Boetti's work outside Italy in over a decade, this volume presents the most comprehensive overview of the artist's career to date. Covering all periods of Boetti's broad oeuvre--including early sculptural experiments associated with the Arte Povera movement, conceptual and ephemeral projects of the 1970s and the monumental embroideries and tapestries he fabricated up to his death--this richly illustrated catalogue is structured as a typology of the artist's body of work rather than a chronological progression. Essays by curators from the Reina Sofia, Madrid, the Tate Modern, London and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, address recurrent themes in Boetti's work such as travel and geography, time, order and disorder and singularity and multitude, while contributions by scholars examine his early influences and his relationship to the cultural, political, and social spheres of Italy and Afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s. This volume celebrates the material diversity, conceptual complexity and visual beauty of Boetti's work, proving that he is one of the most important and influential artists of his generation.

Abstract

The relationship between art and politics has been contested throughout the modern period. In recent times, in tandem with developments in contemporary art, it has moved to the centre of debates in art and cultural theory. In Europe, these debates tend to focus on the writings of certain pivotal thinkers, around whom distinctive schools of thought have developed, crossing national boundaries in new and provocative ways. For the first time, this volume brings together these thinkers from France, Italy, and Germany to offer a wide-ranging overview of the major themes in this challenging and provocative area. It will be invaluable for anyone seeking an up-to-date understanding of the topic. With an insightful introduction by the editors, the volume features contributions from some of the world's leading philosophers, theorists, and critics: Éric Alliez, Franco Berardi, Georges Didi-Huberman, Boris Groys, Maurizio Lazzarato, Elisabeth Lebovici, Antonio Negri, Jacques Rancière, Judith Revel, Peter Sloterdijk, and Peter Weibel.

Abstract

Intégralement conçue par l'artiste pour l'exposition éponyme au MAXXI, Rome, cette monographie documente les recherches menées par Thomas Hirschhorn pour la série Pixel-Collage, produite entre 2015 et 2017 (avec plusieurs essaus et une anthologie des écrits d'Hirschhorn). Le contrôle des images, leur authentification en tant que faits, la possibilité de rendre visibles des portions de réalité soustraites à notre regard par la pixellisation – une technique par laquelle l'image devient méconnaissable – sont les thèmes centraux des recherches de Thomas Hirschhorn.Le cycle Pixel-Collage, créé en recombinant des photos publicitaires et des images de corps mutilés, vise à stimuler une réflexion culturelle et politique sur l'imagerie visuelle de notre monde contemporain, sur ce qui est rendu public et ce qui est dissimulé ou censuré. Hirschhorn renverse la logique sélective avec laquelle les images sont normalement montrées : il pixellise le capitalisme, le consumérisme auquel la culture visuelle est constamment soumise, et dépixellise la réalité la plus dramatique ; il rend visible ce qui arrive à nos yeux sans médiation, et invisible ou seulement partiellement visible ce qui arrive artificiel ou filtré.

Abstract

Erik van Lieshout first became known in the early 2000s for his visceral videos in which he often plays a central role, shown in environments of his own making: installations whose rough, bricolaged forms belie their sophistication. Whilst his immediate subject matter is often directly influenced by the political and social context of the Netherlands, van Lieshout's work provocatively raises issues that are relevant across Europe and beyond: immigration and integration, class and gentrification. Despite these weighty topics, his work can be outrageously funny, using satire to reveal the failings of our society. With equally brutal honesty, he explores his own failings, both as a human being and as an artist. In recent works, he particularly questions art's direct social impact and its potential to do good.

Abstract

New Narrative for Europe is an initiative designed to connect the general public with the European integration project via the arts and sciences. Central to the project is the need to provide a new narrative for European integration - one that goes beyond the principle of ensuring peace through economic and political integration - by mobilising a 'European' spirit formed of shared values and experiences, ready for the 21st Century. In doing so, it aims to demonstrate the ways in which the European Union can empower its citizens, while identifying the common cultural values that unite them across its borders. New Narrative for Europe provides a platform in which cultural practitioners in the broadest sense shared their views on and for the development of a European social imaginary and public space for debate, both of which are essential for fostering solidarity and the democratic process. They are enshrined as such in the document that emerged from this initiative, the Declaration The Mind and Body of Europe, a document reproduced and much discussed in this publication.
