Abstract

Culture was integral to the smooth running of the Third Reich. In the years preceding WWII, a wide variety of artistic forms were used to instill a Nazi ideology in the German people and to manipulate the public perception of Hitler’s enemies. During the war, the arts were closely tied to the propaganda machine that promoted the cause of Germany’s military campaigns. Michael H. Kater’s engaging and deeply researched account of artistic culture within Nazi Germany considers how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed when the Nazis came to power. With a broad purview that ranges widely across music, literature, film, theater, the press, and visual arts, Kater details the struggle between creative autonomy and political control as he looks at what became of German artists and their work both during and subsequent to Nazi rule

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.

Abstract

The documenta 14 guide will take the form of a daybook, emphasizing the 163 calendar days of the exhibitions in Athens and Kassel - a first-time extension of the usual 100-day project of past documenta - and the personal and subjective nature of the spectator's relationship to them. Each documenta 14 artist will be granted a day in this daybook, which will be accompanied by a newly commissioned text on that artist's practice, as well as an image of artwork commissioned by the artist specifically for the publication. The critical texts will be authored by a wide variety of practitioners - critics, curators, novelists, historians, and poets - and the images will be singular and created by the artists especially for the daybook itself.

Abstract

Roland Barthes (1915-1980) est un auteur né il y a cent ans. Il écrit la première oeuvre critique annoncée comme une fiction romanesque dans laquelle un personnage, le lecteur, était invité par un autre personnage, l'auteur, à lui assurer un futur. Le lecteur y serait l'acteur vivant d'un chant funèbre : celui de la réécriture libre de l'oeuvre de l'auteur. Dans l'exposition "My last life", Vincent Meessen, metteur en scène américain, se mue en lecteur critique et répond de façon oblique à cette invitation faite par l'auteur. Pour acter le retour de celui qui avait pourtant déclaré "la mort de l'auteur" dans un essai resté célèbre, le scénario ici mis en scène le fait ainsi revenir en tant que personnage de sa propre oeuvre dans une situation aussi inattendue qu'actuelle : celle de la postcolonie. La pratique artistique de Vincent Meessen consiste à produire des dispositifs narratifs et discursifs qui s’articulent autour de documents jusqu'ici négligés ou oubliés. Une fois actualisés et remis en récit, ils mettent en scène certains paradoxes qui hantent la rationalité occidentale. Chaque œuvre est ainsi conçue comme expérience d’un certain texte, image, signe ou son mis à l’épreuve du présent.
