Nikolaus Hirsch
In several theoretical essays, dialogues on collaborative projects and reflections on his own work, the architect Nikolaus Hirsch explores the critical transformations of contemporary space and its effects on spatial practice. On the threshold to disciplines such as visual and performative arts ("Planning the Unpredictable" with William Forsythe) he questions the notion of "boundary" as a phenomenon of social and political discourse, as a conflict between collaboration and authorship, as well as a physical limitation that negotiates between stable and unstable conditions. Nikolaus Hirsch is an architect based in Frankfurt am Main, who teaches at the Architectural Association in London and at...
Sharp Tongues, Loose Lips, Open Eyes, Ears to the Ground
With an ode by Olafur Eliasson Following Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Curating* *But Were Afraid to Ask, this second volume in the series on international curator Hans Ulrich Obrist presents a selection of his key writings from the past two decades, which elaborate on the manifold thinkers, curators, and events that influence his interdisciplinary practice of exhibition making. The collected essays form the compartments of Obrist's curatorial toolbox, along with elucidating his views on stewardship, patronage, and art itself. Influences and interlocutors cited and discussed here include, among others, Alexander Dorner, Édouard Glissant, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Jean-François Lyotard, Dominique de Menil, Josef Ortner, Cedric Price, Sir John Soane, and Harald Szeemann.
Collecting in the Twenty-first Century
An interdisciplinary volume of essays identifying the impact of technology on the age-old cultural practice of collecting, as well as the opportunities and pitfalls of collecting in the digital era.
Neo Rauch
In a lakeside scene, a man leans on a graphic of an arrow as if it were a rake handle in the garden; tentacles rise from the shoreline and rectangular speech bubbles hang empty in the yellow sky. In a Dali-esque interior, the corner of a comforter drips off a bed. This major new overview of the work of the Leipzig painter Neo Rauch makes, once again, the case that he is one of the most important artists of his generation. He remains committed to putting brush on canvas in an age when digital media are gaining ground, and among a crowd of similarly dedicated colleagues, he stands out at the forefront. While his work of the 1980s was influenced by Expressionism, his more recent portfolio revel...

Sturtevant
Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée du 5 février au 25 avril 2010 au Musée d'Art Moderne Paris. Le présent ouvrage propose une sélection de pièces majeures de l'artiste américaine Elaine Sturtevant dont l'inédite House of Horrors (2010), un train fantôme grandeur nature spécialement conçu pour cette première monographie à Paris, ainsi que Elastic Tango (2010), une pièce de théâtre vidéo en trois actes sur neuf moniteurs. Précédant de 15 ans le mouvement des Appropriationnistes des années 1980, Sturtevant a d'emblée répliqué le travail d'autres artistes tels qu'Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys, Frank Stella ou Felix Gonzalez-Torres, avant que leur travail ne soit reconnu sur la scène internationale. Intuition visionnaire donc, mise ici aussi en lumière. Bilingue français-anglais.
Curating Opera
Curation as a concept and a catchword in modern parlance has, over recent decades, become deeply ingrained in modern culture. The purpose of this study is to explore the curatorial forces at work within the modern opera house and to examine the functionaries and processes that guide them. In turn, comparisons are made with the workings of the traditional art museum, where artworks are studied, preserved, restored, displayed and contextualised – processes which are also present in the opera house. Curatorial roles in each institution are identified and described, and the role of the celebrity art curator is compared with that of the modern stage director, who has acquired previously undream...
Extended Temporalities
This book contains a series of reflections on the theme of temporalities in cinema in the world of art. They do so interweaving various paths, and various structures, in order to arrive at different destination points. Which temporalities, one may wonder. On the boundary between cinema and contemporary art, where boundaries actually no longer exist, the idea of temporality is affected by paths opened up in historical moments which are actually so recent as to be simply in front of our eyes. Video, for example, derived from television, has since been “overtaken” by the digital evolution, yet does not relinquish its domestic function: it re-creates itself in new forms. The same also applie...
