Book Synopsis Fred Forest's Utopia by : Michael F. Leruth
Download or read book Fred Forest's Utopia written by Michael F. Leruth and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “France's most famous unknown artist,” the innovative media provocateur Fred Forest, precursor of Eduardo Kac, Jodi, the Yes Men, RT Mark, and the Guerilla Girls. The innovative French media artist and prankster-provocateur Fred Forest first gained notoriety in 1972 when he inserted a small blank space in Le Monde, called it 150 cm2 of Newspaper (150 cm2 de papier journal), and invited readers to fill in the space with their own work and mail their efforts to him. In 1977, he satirized speculation in both the art and real estate markets by offering the first parcel of officially registered “artistic square meters” of undeveloped rural land for sale at an art auction. Although praised by leading media theorists—Vilém Flusser lauded Forest as “the artist who pokes holes in media”—Forest's work has been largely ignored by the canon-making authorities. Forest calls himself “France's most famous unknown artist.” In this book, Michael Leruth offers the first book-length consideration of this iconoclastic artist, examining Forest's work from the 1960s to the present. Leruth shows that Forest chooses alternative platforms (newspapers, mock commercial ventures, video-based interactive social interventions, media hacks and hybrids, and, more recently, the Internet) that are outside the exclusive precincts of the art world. A fierce critic of the French contemporary art establishment, Forest famously sued the Centre Pompidou in 1994 over its opaque acquisition practices. After making foundational contributions to Sociological Art in the 1970s and the Aesthetics of Communication in the 1980s, the pioneering Forest saw the Internet as another way for artists to bypass the art establishment in the 1990s. Arguing that there is a strong utopian quality in Forest's work, Leruth sees this utopianism not as naive or conventional but as a reverse utopianism: rather than envisioning an impossible ideal, Forest reenvisions and probes the quasi-utopia of our media-augented everyday reality. The interface is the symbolic threshold to be crossed with an open mind.
Book Synopsis Le paradigme de l'art contemporain. Structures d'une révolution artistique by : Nathalie Heinich
Download or read book Le paradigme de l'art contemporain. Structures d'une révolution artistique written by Nathalie Heinich and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 2014-02-20T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un article paru en 1999 dans Le Débat, Nathalie Heinich proposait de considérer l’art contemporain comme un genre de l’art, différent de l’art moderne comme de l’art classique. Il s’agissait d’en bien marquer la spécificité – un jeu sur les frontières ontologiques de l’art – tout en accueillant la pluralité des définitions de l’art susceptibles de coexister. Quinze ans après, la querelle de l’art contemporain n’est pas éteinte, stimulée par l’explosion des prix, la spectacularisation des propositions et le soutien d’institutions renommées, comme l’illustrent les installations controversées à Versailles. Dans ce nouveau livre, l'auteur pousse le raisonnement à son terme : plus qu’un genre artistique, l’art contemporain fonctionne comme un nouveau paradigme, autrement dit une structuration générale des conceptions admises à un moment du temps, un modèle inconscient qui formate le sens de la normalité. Nathalie Heinich peut dès lors scruter en sociologue les modalités de cette révolution artistique dans le fonctionnement interne du monde de l’art : critères d’acceptabilité, fabrication et circulation des œuvres, statut des artistes, rôle des intermédiaires et des institutions... Une installation, une performance, une vidéo sont étrangères aux paradigmes classique comme moderne, faisant de l’art contemporain un objet de choix pour une investigation sociologique raisonnée, à distance aussi bien des discours de ses partisans que de ceux de ses détracteurs. Prix Montyon 2015

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose de nouvelles clés de compréhension de l’art contemporain. Il n’est pas question de s’interroger sur le sens des œuvres mais bien plus sur les formes de médiation qu’on leur associe – ainsi que sur la manière dont ces formes sont conçues, diffusées et reçues.Différentes approches sont envisagées qui empruntent toutes au domaine de la pragmatique linguistique. À partir de l’observation de cas concrets, il s’agit notamment d’analyser différentes situations d’énonciations suscitées par des textes entourant des œuvres ou des expositions.Ces textes mettent en scène des énoncés, énonciateurs et énonciations ; ils ont une certaine dimension performative ; ils contiennent des éléments implicites ou sous-entendus qui mettent en jeu la relation de leurs auteurs à des contextes et des publics spécifiques. Ici, la question du dialogisme, empruntée à Bakhtine, permet de synthétiser ces différentes approches et d’envisager autrement la circulation de la parole – et du sens – autour des œuvres.
Download or read book Virtual Art written by Oliver Grau and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-09-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of the art historical antecedents to virtual reality and the impact of virtual reality on contemporary conceptions of art. Although many people view virtual reality as a totally new phenomenon, it has its foundations in an unrecognized history of immersive images. Indeed, the search for illusionary visual space can be traced back to antiquity. In this book, Oliver Grau shows how virtual art fits into the art history of illusion and immersion. He describes the metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image and relates those concepts to interactive art, interface design, agents, telepresence, and image evolution. Grau retells art history as media history, helping us to understand the phenomenon of virtual reality beyond the hype. Grau shows how each epoch used the technical means available to produce maximum illusion. He discusses frescoes such as those in the Villa dei Misteri in Pompeii and the gardens of the Villa Livia near Primaporta, Renaissance and Baroque illusion spaces, and panoramas, which were the most developed form of illusion achieved through traditional methods of painting and the mass image medium before film. Through a detailed analysis of perhaps the most important German panorama, Anton von Werner's 1883 The Battle of Sedan, Grau shows how immersion produced emotional responses. He traces immersive cinema through Cinerama, Sensorama, Expanded Cinema, 3-D, Omnimax and IMAX, and the head mounted display with its military origins. He also examines those characteristics of virtual reality that distinguish it from earlier forms of illusionary art. His analysis draws on the work of contemporary artists and groups ART+COM, Maurice Benayoun, Charlotte Davies, Monika Fleischmann, Ken Goldberg, Agnes Hegedues, Eduardo Kac, Knowbotic Research, Laurent Mignonneau, Michael Naimark, Simon Penny, Daniela Plewe, Paul Sermon, Jeffrey Shaw, Karl Sims, Christa Sommerer, and Wolfgang Strauss. Grau offers not just a history of illusionary space but also a theoretical framework for analyzing its phenomenologies, functions, and strategies throughout history and into the future.

Book Synopsis The Heritage of Our Times by : Ernst Bloch
Download or read book The Heritage of Our Times written by Ernst Bloch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heritage of Our Times is a brilliant examination of modern culture and its legacy by one of the most important and deeply influential thinkers of the 20th century. Bloch argues that the key elements of a genuine cultural tradition are not just to be found in the conveniently closed and neatly labeled ages of the past, but also in the open and experimental cultural process of our time. One of the most compelling aspects of this work is a contemporary analysis of the rise of Nazism. It probes its bogus roots in German history and mythology at the very moment when the ideologies of Blood and Soil and the Blond Beast were actually taking hold of the German people. The breadth and depth of Bloch's vision, together with the rich diversity of his interest, ensure this work a place as one of the key books of the 20th century.

Book Synopsis The Perfect Servant by : Kathryn M. Ringrose
Download or read book The Perfect Servant written by Kathryn M. Ringrose and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perfect Servant reevaluates the place of eunuchs in Byzantium. Kathryn Ringrose uses the modern concept of gender as a social construct to identify eunuchs as a distinct gender and to illustrate how gender was defined in the Byzantine world. At the same time she explores the changing role of the eunuch in Byzantium from 600 to 1100. Accepted for generations as a legitimate and functional part of Byzantine civilization, eunuchs were prominent in both the imperial court and the church. They were distinctive in physical appearance, dress, and manner and were considered uniquely suited for important roles in Byzantine life. Transcending conventional notions of male and female, eunuchs lived outside of normal patterns of procreation and inheritance and were assigned a unique capacity for mediating across social and spiritual boundaries. This allowed them to perform tasks from which prominent men and women were constrained, making them, in essence, perfect servants. Written with precision and meticulously researched, The Perfect Servant will immediately take its place as a major study on Byzantium and the history of gender.

Book Synopsis Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences by : Sahra Gibbon
Download or read book Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences written by Sahra Gibbon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology. This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine. Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research. It covers four main themes: novel modes of identity and identification, such as genetic citizenship the role of institutions, ranging from disease advocacy organizations and voluntary organizations to the state the production of biological knowledge, novel life-forms, and technologies the generation of wealth and commercial interests in biology. Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.

The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars. This book is published in English.
Download or read book Michel de Broin written by Mark Lanctôt and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exhibition Michel de Broin, which comprises a selection of works from the past decade, including some produced specially for this occasion, attests to the artist's interest in the notions of resistance, appropriation and recycling. Over the last twenty-plus years, de Broin has developed an artistic practice that challenges our relationships with systems of all kinds. Adopting a critical yet playful attitude, he diverts everyday objects and preconceived notions to new uses and applications in order to reveal the forces that are at work in our day-to-day environment, and that frame and direct our actions and interactions. As he put it, one of the premises of my practice involves introducing a foreign element into a normative system to see how that agent produces an unexpected reaction in its new setting.1 Michel de Broin practises an experimental approach in which his works are continually evolving. The critical overview offered here reveals the amalgam he typically makes between preparatory sketch, finished piece and documentation: a model may be presented as a work in itself or be reborn in the form of a sculpture, photograph or film, or emerge as a more or less clandestine action in a public space. The artist enjoys revisiting his works over time. In some cases, he develops new, updated versions of pieces previously shown. For example, Embrase-moi, 1993-2013, Objet perdu, 2002-2013, and Tenir sans servir c'est résister, 2013, have been reinterpreted for the current exhibition. In other cases, de Broin produces new pieces inspired by old ones, but using an entirely different technique: a sculptural piece, Pile, 2010, also exists as a photographic work; and the photographic work Monument post-soviétique, 2004-2006, is the inspiration behind the sculpture Têtes de pioches, 2013; and again, before being turned into a monumental sculpture, the looped-together cannons of Blowback, 2013, were the subject of a series of silk-screen prints on aluminum. In this sense, the exhibition, and the publication that accompanies it, have been conceived not as ends in themselves, but rather as stages that would allow the artist to return to certain works and introduce new ideas. This undertaking called for maintaining the experimental aspect of the work and avoiding placing the works in a vacuum. The museum as structure or, to use the artist's terminology, as system, is involved in creating new and unexpected reactions within the artist's set of concerns. Montréal-based de Broin has exhibited in Europe, the United States and Canada. His major public-art projects (both permanent and temporary) include Majestic (New Orleans, 2011), Révolution (Rennes, 2010), La maîtresse de la tour Eiffel (Paris, 2009), Overflow (Nuit Blanche, Toronto, 2008), Encerclement (Scape Biennial, Christchurch, New Zealand, 2006), Shared Propulsion Car (Exit Art, New York, 2005 / Mercer Union, 2007) and Révolutions (Ville de Montréal collection, Parc Maisonneuve-Cartier, 2003).
