For over 20 years, Brooklyn-based artist Gedi Sibony (born 1973) has transformed cast-offs and other found materials into spare, elusive works of art, forging an evocative new strain of Minimalism from the salvage of contemporary life. This richly illustrated monograph surveys a decade of his varied production. Featuring newly commissioned texts by art historian Rhea Anastas and artist/poet Renee Gladman, as well as an interview with Sibony by Robert Enright, All These Hands Are Made of Crumbs surfaces points of connection between distinct bodies of work: from the artist's acclaimed series of found paintings cut from the sides of decommissioned semi-trailers to the subtle sculptural objects that, for him, serve as "guideposts for reframing the experience of place."

Dans sa lettre de 1907 au poète Hofmannsthal, le philosophe Edmund Husserl écrit : " plus l'uvre d'art résonne du monde de l'existence ou tire de lui sa vie, plus elle réclame par elle-même une prise de position existentielle () et moins alors l'uvre est esthétiquement pure ". Six ans avant son invention, ne lit-on pas ici une définition fidèle du readymade ? Voici la chose exposée sans fioriture, sans projet, pour elle-même, sans apprêt, sans manière ; la chose de nos besoins les plus grossiers, voici qu'on lui accorde une exposition dans un haut lieu réservé à l'élite des choses : la " Galerie d'Art ". Dans ce royaume des choses représentées, scénographiées, la chose triviale est, comme on dit, " nature ". C'est ainsi que le readymade sait être touchant. Le readymade est la résultante d'entités consubstantielles. L'une est relative à l'utilitarisme habituel de la chose, nous le baptiserons " Ordinaire " et l'autre à la capacité à offrir une contre-option à l'art conventionnel, nous reprendrons un terme duchampien, " An-art ". Ces deux entités partagent la même nature matérielle et formelle, l'Ordinaire et l'An-art ont en commun le même substrat. Si elles s'opposent nettement quant à leurs vocations respectives (permettre un usage trivial et faire uvre), elles sont en communion dans le readymade sans s'effacer l'une l'autre et habitent toutes deux la galerie. Et alors le regard entre en jeu.

How do early modern media underlie today’s digital creativity? In Cut/Copy/Paste, Whitney Trettien journeys to the fringes of the London print trade to uncover makerspaces and collaboratories where paper media were cut up and reassembled into radical, bespoke publications. Bringing these long-forgotten objects back to life through hand-curated digital resources, Trettien shows how early experimental book hacks speak to the contemporary conditions of digital scholarship and publishing. As a mixed-media artifact itself, Cut/Copy/Paste enacts for readers what Trettien argues: that digital forms have the potential to decenter patriarchal histories of print.From the religious household of Little Gidding—whose biblical concordances and manuscripts exemplify protofeminist media innovation—to the queer poetic assemblages of Edward Benlowes and the fragment albums of former shoemaker John Bagford, Cut/Copy/Paste demonstrates history’s relevance to our understanding of current media. Tracing the lives and afterlives of amateur “bookwork,” Trettien creates a method for identifying and comprehending hybrid objects that resist familiar bibliographic and literary categories. In the process, she bears witness to the deep history of radical publishing with fragments and found materials.With many of Cut/Copy/Paste’s digital resources left thrillingly open for additions and revisions, this book reimagines our ideas of publication while fostering a spirit of generosity and inclusivity. An open invitation to cut, copy, and paste different histories, it is an inspiration for students of publishing or the digital humanities, as well as anyone interested in the past, present, and future of creativity.

"This book is a significant re-thinking of Duchamp's importance in the twenty-first century, taking seriously the readymade as a critical exploration of object-oriented relations under the conditions of consumer capitalism. The readymade is understood as an act of accelerating art as a discourse, of pushing to the point of excess the philosophical precepts of modern aesthetics on which the notion of art in modernity is based. Julian Haladyn argues for an accelerated Duchamp that speaks to a contemporary condition of art within our era of globalized capitalist production"--
