The globalized world seems at once transparent and opaque. The exhibition project "Transparencies" examined the cultural facets and atmospheres of these (non- )transparencies. The two-part, joint exhibition project in Bielefeld and Nuremberg was dedicated to developments in "transparent society," asking how these are reflected in the current work by contemporary artists. The paradigm of transparency and the ambivalence of the term was addressed by participating artists in multiple, diverse ways. This book documents both exhibitions and outlines all of the contributions to this substantial project. Conceptually designed by Metahaven, it contains artistic statements and scientific essays that encourage an ongoing discussion of the subject.

"Transparency is a powerful attribute in design, carrying a personality that can be as glaring as hues. It extends and limits vision, spawns a sense of presence and absence and conceals and reveals content, luring viewers into exploring what lies beneath and beyond. Whether it is a tangible element or a conceptual idea that deceives the eyes, it is this beguiling layer that can make all the difference. As the latest addition to the well-loved colour-themed collection PALETTE, PALETTE No.6: Transparent kicks off the new cycle of design practice where visibility is called into question. In three sections sorted by opacity, transparency and then everything in between, this book unveils the mutable visual experiences of transparency and how they can be achieved through the inventive use of materials, paper and printing. Encompassing brand identities, product packaging, photography as well as installations, the 110 select works demonstrate how transparency is interpreted anew in design"--Publisher's description.

Exaltée par certaines utopies modernistes au XXe siècle, à la fois désirée et crainte au XXIe siècle dans nos sociétés de la communication et de l'exposition de soi mais aussi de la surveillance, la transparence est l'objet de discours critiques divers qui en déploient les significations métaphoriques, notamment dans le domaine social et politique. Ces discours se focalisent sur ses effets, le plus souvent jugés pervers, mais n'examine pas la transparence pour elle-même.Tout en rappelant l'éventail des approches critiques, ce volume recentre le regard sur le phénomène de la transparence tel qu'il est mis en oeuvre par les artistes dans des oeuvres qui, le plus souvent, interrogent notre rapport au monde. Il apparaît alors que la notion de transparence gagne à être perçue à travers le prisme du transparaître qui, en mettant l'accent sur la phénoménalité sensible et instable de la transparence, permet d'en étendre le champ de questionnement à des pratiques artistiques plus diverses et à des interrogations esthétiques moins contraintes par l'idéologisation dont la transparence fait souvent les frais.Composé d'études rédigées par des philosophes, esthéticiens, historiens ou théoriciens de l'art, de la musique, du cinéma ou de l'architecture, le livre comprend également les interventions d'artistes qui intègrent la transparence et le transparaître dans leur réflexion et leur pratique.
