From the dot to the line to infinity: a whimsical children's book about space and spatiality, with pop-ups and gatefolds One very dark night, a long time ago, there was a big explosion. It was the "Big Bang." From the "Big Bang," a dot flew off by itself and began to explore. But all around it was empty space. The dot became lonely, so it split in two, which was fun at first. But then the two dots grew bored of each other, so they began to multiply until they formed something entirely new: a line. The line replicated until it became a surface, and the surface repeated until it became a 3-dimensional shape: the volume. A stray line then pulled off the volume and began to explore shape, color ...

The first monograph on a beloved American ceramicist who has been making joyful and original work for nearly 80 years Born in 1931, and living in New York, Alice Mackler today is still pushing forward not only her own art but also the boundaries of contemporary art across sculpture, painting, drawing and collage. While long beloved and admired by artists, Mackler over the last few years has finally found the wide and enthusiastic audience she deserves. With a focus on the female figure, Mackler's work is, as Matthew Higgs writes in this book, "a visceral accumulation of her experiences translated into a material form." Mackler's vibrant, voluptuous ceramic sculptures evoke the Venus of Wille...

Mika Rottenberg développe une pratique artistique qui conjugue la réalisation de vidéos, d’installations, de dessins et de sculptures. Dans de nombreuses de ses œuvres, elle met en scène des situations absurdes de travail à la chaîne, souvent interprétées par des femmes. Leurs corps, hors des normes et loin des canons habituels, sont entièrement mobilisés et utilisés comme outils de travail et matières premières. Captivants récits où la fantaisie et l’humour se mêlent à l’étrangeté et où le réel semble se distordre dans la fiction, les films de Mika Rottenberg sont montrés au sein d’installations immersives qui plongent les spectateurs dans leur univers au-delà de l’écran et participent ainsi à brouiller les frontières entre imaginaire et réalité. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Mika Rottenberg au Palais de Tokyo, 23.06 – 11.09 2016
Eclecticism seems to be one of the most recognized features of Chris Marker's work. He is often presented as a filmmaker and a photographer, a poet, a translator, a cartoonist, a visual artist, an editor, a software designer and a television and video director. Given the 50 years since the release of his most well-known film, La Jetée (1963), this volume fosters discussion of the intertwining of photography and cinema within a framework that analyses Marker's influence in film and photography's scholarship. In the last ten years, many books have been published on the subjects of photography and.
