Abstract

Dan Graham was a contrarian. His art confronted viewers with a multiplicity of possible perceptions and intersubjective experiences. Some Rockin’ was his last project and—through conversations with friends, artists, architects, curators, and former assistants—articulates his sensitivity to context, media, and people. The interviews address rock music and urbanism, humor and astrology, history and the hybrid form. Mediating historical and social experience was a major concern of his. “The Museum in Evolution,” an essay he finished just before his death, and published here, highlights that nothing is final in becoming. Rather, it allows for: Some Rockin’.

Abstract

Le premier numéro d’iris.time unlimited paraît le 6 octobre 1962, le dernier numéro en avril 1975. Mi-sérieuse mi-comique, fourmillant de trouvailles graphiques, envoyée dans de belles enveloppes de couleur, cette revue est un support de promotion, voire de combat, destiné à diffuser et illustrer la ligne artistique et les partis pris de la galerie. Elle constitue aujourd’hui un document précieux sur le monde de l’art parisien des années 1960 et 1970. Avec la liberté sans limites que s’autorise celle pour qui surprendre et innover est un sixième sens, Iris Clert offre une grande latitude aux contributrices et contributeurs de tous horizons qui participent à son artventure éditoriale. On trouve dans ses colonnes des chroniques sur la vie artistique parisienne, des revues de presse, des jeux, des publicités, des présentations de critiques, le « Point de vue d’Iris », des billets d’humeur, les « Ragots de la galerie », des petites annonces loufoques et, bien sûr, un horoscope réalisé par la voyante d’Iris Clert. Tout respire la légèreté, l’amitié, l’invention. La jalousie s’exprime avec humour, l’amertume avec panache, la créativité avec poésie, l’amour des artistes avec constance. Pour Iris Clert, l’art est une fête et une expérimentation continue ; iris.time unlimited en est le témoin incontournable.

Abstract

"The Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival is an artwork, a sculpture, created by Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn in a peripheral borough of Amsterdam’s south-east known as the Bijlmer in 2009. This book recounts the event through the eyes of its “Ambassador”, art historian Vittoria Martini, who was invited by the artist to be an eyewitness to the existence of this “precarious” work. A term Hirschhorn sees as positive and creative: a means of asserting the importance of the moment and of the place, of asserting the Here and Now to touch eternity and universality. Appreciating the art historian’s presence as a central element of his sculpture, Hirschhorn consciously challenged the certainties of the profession by empowering and activating the role, thus leading Martini to find a new working methodology that she calls “precarious art history”. Accompanying the readers through her experience of the physical existence of The Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival, Martini’s commentary leads to the profound understanding of how a work that no longer exists physically, can live on in the mind—elsewhere, at some other time—because in the meantime it has become universal."

Abstract

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, both dividing and connecting humans, who have saltwater in their blood, sweat and tears. At the same time, they represent a powerful nonhuman force, rising, flooding, heating and raging in unprecedented ways as the climate crisis unfolds. The sea has long enthralled artists, envisioned as a sublime wilderness and a home to countless mythical creatures as well as bizarre real species, and with the upsurge of art and exhibitions dedicated to the sea, the ocean has recently shifted from serving as a theme to informing artistic and curatorial methods, in line with developing watery, oceanic and tidalectic thinking. This anthology collects writing exploring the work of artists such as John Akomfrah, Matthew Barney, Tacita Dean, Ellen Gallagher, Joan Jonas, Wangechi Mutu, Martin Parr, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Paul Thek amongst many others

Abstract

Radically subjective. Radically unapologetic. Radically demanding. These are the hallmarks of Dirk Lauwaert's skill, attitude, and sensitivity, which are the result of radical attention.Belgian writer and critic Dirk Lauwaert (1944-2013) wrote about images, be they moving or still, historical or contemporary, overfamiliar or unseen. He experienced them intensely, studied them attentively, and connected them to ethical, philosophical, or social issues in texts that invited readers to do the same, whether they were leaving the movie theater browsing a photo book, or visiting an exhibition.This selection presents the depth and scope of Lauwaert's immense output through 15 key texts in which the Belgian author unfolds his central ideas and motifs, displaying his kaleidoscopic thinking and essayistic ability. The texts span 25 years - from 1983 to 2008 - and were originally published in various contexts over the course of three decades.

Abstract

When do you know something? And at which point can you be sure that what you know is true?Knowledge of facts is distinct from opinion or speculative assumption. We rely on various sources to determine the validity of information and separate fact from fiction.Fascinated by awareness and ignorance, Anna Püschel (DE/FR) began collecting definitions of words related to knowledge from a broad range of sources, from medieval texts to modern dictionaries. These definitions ? some objectively true, others with questionable veracity ? are brought together in the Encyclopedia of the Uncertain, a work that redefines referencing, and boldly juxtaposes French poetry to conspiracy theories, recipes, and political essays. But regardless of their origin, the definitions show that we have always yearned for the truth.What does this mean for us today? Between post-truth and alternative facts, we observe an absurd phenomenon: we can access knowledge faster and easier than ever before, but the number of alternative versions of the same truth it is accompanied by is also unprecedented. From YouTube algorithms to Telegram channels, from Facebook comments to ChatGPT-generated texts, finding truth is getting harder every day.As individuals in uncertain times, we not only have the right but also the duty to look for truth, and not blindly follow the loudest voices that (un)knowingly propagate falsities. Instead, we must acknowledge what we do not know and listen to nuance, for there is beauty in uncertainty.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/anna-puschel-encyclopedia-of-the-uncertain-a-meditation-on-doubt/

Abstract

De fascinatie voor paddenstoelen en het mycelium (de schimmelwereld, de constant vertakkende en verbindende draden van fungi) als levend systeem blijft groeien. De verstrengelingen en hoe dit rizomatische netwerk functioneert, is niet alleen een fascinerend ecologisch stelsel en materiaal, maar draagt ook diepgaande betekenis als metafoor voor mogelijke nieuwe menselijke systemen, manieren van denken en gedragingen.Let?s Become Fungal! is geïnspireerd door de kunstwereld en door mycologie, en deelt een scala aan innovatieve en Indigenous werkwijzen uit Latijns-Amerika en het Caribisch gebied, die geworteld zijn in samenwerking tussen soorten, symbiose, allianties, niet-monetaire uitwisseling, decentralisatie, bottom-up methoden en wederzijdse afhankelijkheid en voeding.Elk hoofdstuk is geformuleerd als vraag. Deze leiden tot twaalf ?teachings?, die bijvoorbeeld samenwerking, dekolonisatie, non-lineariteit, giftigheid, mobilisatie, bio-mimicry, sterfelijkheid en non-binariteit aankaarten. De teachings van de wereld van de funga kan kunstenaars, collectieven, docenten, beleidsmakers, ontwerpers, wetenschappers, antropologen, veranderaars, curatoren, urbanisten, activisten, tuinders, gemeenschapsleiders, boeren en vele anderen inspireren om meer verweven te worden in hun manieren van werken en zijn. Let?s Become Fungal! Workshops Let?s Become Fungal! is meer dan een boek. Het is een methode en manier van denken die kan worden geactiveerd in samenwerking met anderen; in gemeenschappen, netwerken en organisaties. De auteur biedt een programma van twaalf mycelium-workshops aan, om elke les uit het boek in groepsverband te activeren. Van myceliummeditaties tot leesgroepen, tot biomimicry-oefeningen; de workshops zijn geschikt voor iedereen die na het lezen van dit boek nog meer 'fungal' wil worden. Naast de auteur worden de workshops begeleid door verschillende gasten: mycologen, (bio)designers, architecten, kunstenaars en community-organisatoren. Workshops bieden plaats aan maximaal twintig personen. Bron : https://valiz.nl/publicaties/let-s-become-fungal

Abstract

"A dazzlingly original reassessment of women's stories, bodies and art, and how we think about them. For decades, feminist artists have confronted the problem of how to tell the truth about their experiences as bodies. Queer bodies, sick bodies, racialised bodies, female bodies, what is their language, what are the materials we need to transcribe it? Exploring the ways in which feminist artists have taken up this challenge, Art Monsters is a landmark intervention in how we think about art and the body, calling attention to a radical heritage of feminist work that not only reacts against patriarchy but redefines its own aesthetic aims. Writing in the tradition of Susan Sontag, Hel ne Cixous and Maggie Nelson, Lauren Elkin demonstrates her power as a cultural critic, weaving daring links between disparate artists and writers, from Julia Margaret Cameron's photography to Kara Walker's silhouettes, Vanessa Bell's portraits to Eva Hesse's rope sculptures, Carolee Schneemann's body art to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's trilingual masterpiece DICTEE, and shows that their work offers a potent celebration of beauty and excess, sentiment and touch, the personal and the political"--Publisher's description.
