Ulla von Brandenburg (édition française)
Nourrie de littérature, d’histoire des arts et de l’architecture, mais aussi de psychanalyse, de spiritisme et de magie, Ulla von Brandenburg emprunte aussi bien aux codes et aux mécanismes du théâtre qu’aux rituels ésotériques et aux cérémonies populaires afin d’explorer la construction de nos structures sociales. Pour son exposition au Palais de Tokyo, elle a imaginé un projet total et évolutif, inspiré du théâtre, de son imaginaire et de ses conventions. Autour de la notion de rituel, l’artiste invite le public à prendre part à une expérience immersive et renouvelée des thèmes, des formes et des motifs qui irriguent son oeuvre : le mouvement, la scène, la couleur, la musique, le textile... Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle d’Ulla von Brandenburg au Palais de Tokyo, 21.02 – 13.09.2020
It Has a Golden Sun and an Elderly Grey Moon
"It Has a Golden Sun and an Elderly Grey Moon is the title not only of Ulla von Brandenburg’s new film, but also this publication, created as part monograph, part artist book. This allegorical phrase resonates as an invitation from the artist, beckoning us to circulate within the prelude-spaces offered by the practice of sacred and animist rituals, and within the contemporary space of forms of artistic representation such as theatre, dance and performance. This book’s design reflects and resonates with that of the film, unfolding five of the film’s themes which are also recurrent in the artist’s broader work: color, ritual, movement, stairs, and textiles. Designed by Jean-Claude Chianale"--

Whose Beginning is Not, Nor End Cannot be
Few American battles have been so extended, savage, and personal. A handful of Americans volunteered to live among six thousand Vietnamese, training farmers to defend their village. Such "Combined Action Platoons" (CAPs) are not a lost footnote about how the war could have been fought; only the villagers remain to bear witness. This is the story of fifteen resolute young Americans matched against two hundred Viet Cong; how a CAP lived, fought, and died; and why the villagers remember them to this day.
Hinge Pictures
In 1960 George Heard Hamilton published the first complete typographic translation of Duchamp's Green Box in English. This landmark publication translated Duchamp's notes and conceptual ambitions for his masterwork, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. And as a book, designed to hinge at its binding, the work fulfilled Duchamp's conceptual proposal for art that would move from two- into three-dimensional space. Hinge Pictures is an artist's book in eight parts--a gorgeous, palimpsestual publication that layers the practices of Sarah Crowner, Julia Dault, Leslie Hewitt, Tomashi Jackson, Erin Shirreff, Ulla von Brandenburg, Adriana Varejão and Claudia Wieser over the pages of Ducha...
Latinx Art
In Latinx Art Arlene Dávila draws on numerous interviews with artists, dealers, and curators to explore the problem of visualizing Latinx art and artists. Providing an inside and critical look of the global contemporary art market, Dávila's book is at once an introduction to contemporary Latinx art and a call to decolonize the art worlds and practices that erase and whitewash Latinx artists. Dávila shows the importance of race, class, and nationalism in shaping contemporary art markets while providing a path for scrutinizing art and culture institutions and for diversifying the art world.
Ulla von Brandenburg (English Edition)
From a background rich in literature and the history of arts and architecture—as well as psychoanalysis, spiritism and magic—Ulla von Brandenburg explores the shaping of our social constructs with borrowings from theatrical codes and mechanisms, together with esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies. For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo she has conceived a total, constantly evolving project inspired by the theatre, its imaginary realm and its conventions. With ritual as her starting point, she invites the public to experience an immersive reinterpretation of the themes, forms and motifs—including movement, the stage, colour, music and textiles—that fuel her oeuvre. Book published on the occasion of Ulla von Brandenburg’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, 21.02 – 13.09.2020
Marguerite Humeau
Mythes, fantasmes et spéculations sont au cœur de l’œuvre de Marguerite Humeau. Toujours situés aux frontières de la recherche et de la fiction, les projets de Marguerite Humeau sont le fruit d’investigations approfondies et de collaborations avec des spécialistes et scientifiques. Au Palais de Tokyo et à Nottingham Contemporary, elle propose de vivre une expérience unique, physique et sensorielle. Avec son exposition « FOXP2 » – nom du gène dont la mutation a permis l’apparition du langage articulé, à la source de notre humanité –, l’artiste rejoue l’origine de la vie et celle du développement de formes de vies conscientes. En imaginant un monde où des éléphants géants domineraient la planète, elle crée artificiellement des créatures douées d’émotions et de conscience. Livre publié à l’occasion des expositions personnelles de Marguerite Humeau au Palais de Tokyo (23.06 – 11.09 2016) et à Nottingham Contemporary (15.10 2016 – 08.01 2017).
The World as a Stage
The World as a Stage presents a key group of international contemporary artists--Pavel Althamer, Catherine Sullivan, Tino Sehgal, and others--who reinvigorate the rich historical relationship between visual art and theater. Challenging negative associations made between the notion of "theatricality" and the realm of visual art in recent decades, the artists in this book make visible the extent to which a sense of theater, or spectacle, now permeates the spectator's role in the museum or gallery and how this carries through to their experience of the contemporary urban environment. Considering a variety of media including installation, sculpture, performance, participatory works, and events, this book deals with issues such as the framing of human presence in the experience of art.
