The first and much anticipated monograph on the groundbreaking work of one of today's most celebrated multimedia artists.
French artist Lili Reynaud-Dewar creates environments and situations in which she uses her own body to examine the dual experience of vulnerability and empowerment that results from acts of exposing oneself to the world. Evolving through a range of media such as performance, video, installation, sound, and literature, her work considers the fluid border between public and private space, challenging conventions related to the body, sexuality, power relations, and institutional spaces. This is the first book to document her remarkable career.
The curator who founded MoMA's video program recounts the artists and events that defined the medium's first 50 years.
Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making. In this book, curator Barbara London traces the history of video art as it transformed into the broader field of media art - from analog to digital, small TV monitors to wall-scale projections, and clunky hardware to user-friendly software. In doing so, she reveals how video evolved from fringe status to be seen as one of the foremost art forms of today.

Dutch artist, Daan Roosegaarde, is one of the most innovative artists to emerge in the past decade. His sculptures and installations, made in collaboration with a team of engineers and designers, aim to create better conditions in cities and to make difficult areas habitable again, by rethinking processes and upgrading urban structures. At the core of Roosegaarde's practice is schoonheid, a Dutch word that stands both for 'clean-ness' and 'beauty.' It is this that has informed some of his most popular public projects, including Waterlicht (a virtual flood that shows the force of water); Smog Free Project (a large outdoor air purifier that turns smog into jewelry), and Smart Highway (an interactive road that charges throughout the day and glows at night).

"Luc Tuymans est un artiste belge apparu sur la scène artistique à la fin des années 1980. Il est aujourd'hui l'une des figures les plus en vue de la peinture contemporaine. Sa palette monochrome et le choix de ses sujets extraits de l'histoire récente, lient la peinture au cinéma, au photojournalisme et à la photographie amateur. La source de son imagerie toutefois, dont une partie consiste en documents à propos des atrocités nazies, confère à ses toiles une très grande violence. De formats modestes et exécutés avec sensibilité, ses tableaux tirent leur force de l'évocation obsédante de vies gâchées et d'histoires refoulées. En 2004, son travail a fait l'objet d'une exposition personnelle à la Tate Modern, à Londres. Ulrich Loock, commissaire de l'exposition de l'artiste à la Kunsthalle de Berne en 1992 et auteur de textes influents sur l'art européen récent, part des expositions de Tuymans pour passer en revue des thèmes essentiels de son oeuvre. Juan Vicente Aliaga, critique à Frieze et Artforum, met en lumière les sources et les motivations de l'artiste dans un entretien avec l'artiste, tandis que la commissaire et critique Nancy Spector, dont certains écrits ont paru dans Artforum et Parkett, explore les possibilités narratives du tableau Pillows (1994). Tuymans choisit Tchevengour (1928), un conte russe primitiviste et magique d'Andrei Platonov, et présente de manière fascinante son travail dans un essai, « Le Désenchantement » (1991). Le critique bernois Hans Rudolf Reust passe en revue le travail de Tuymans de 1996 jusqu'à présent, notamment l'important cycle « Mwana Kitoko », un regard critique sur le passé colonial de la Belgique..."
Land Art et Art environnemental. Le genre traditionnel du paysage s'est radicalement transformé dans les années 1960, lorsque de nombreux artistes ont cessé de simplement représenter le paysage et y ont directement imprimé leur empreinte. Les artistes contestaient la galerie en tant que structure et le monde de l'art en tant que système économique - une caractéristique de la contre-culture de cette décennie. Ils se sentaient attirés par l'entropie des friches postindustrielles ou par les grands espaces incultes des déserts ou des montagnes. Certains artistes remuaient la terre pour créer des symboles primaires monumentaux, tandis que d'autres jalonnaient l'horizon de repères fabriqués par la main de l'homme. Ce mouvement, qu'on associe généralement à la sculpture, recouvre aussi l'art de la performance et l'art conceptuel ainsi que la prise en compte de l'environnement. Ce livre présente en détail la genèse du phénomène Land Art dans les années 1960 et 1970, et les tendances qu'il a suscitées, jusqu'à l'art environnemental contemporain. Earthworks, environnements, performances et actions sont illustrés par de spectaculaires photographies.

"Younger than Jesus: The Artists Directory" will therefore be an unparalleled resource for curators, collectors, dealers and critics. By serving as a handbook to currrent artistic innovation, it will also appeal to artists, designers and anyone curious about the latest developments in visual culture.
Cet ouvrage est un tour d'horizon de l'époque la plus riche, la plus controversée et sans doute la plus profondément déroutante de toute l'histoire des arts plastiques - celle qui s'étend de 1960 à nos jours. Le mouvement moderne, demeuré incontesté durant les six décennies précédentes a perdu sa suprématie, mais n'a pas été remplacé par une seule et unique orthodoxie. Les artistes, les critiques et le public sont désormais confrontés à une situation d'une variété et d'une complexité sans précédent.
Edward Lucie-Smith est un observateur assidu et averti de la scène artistique contemporaine, qui allie l'oeil du critique à la perception qu'a l'historien des tendances plus vastes. L'Art aujourd'hui reflète les bouleversements survenus dans le monde de l'art depuis 1960, qui ont remis en question toutes les vieilles hypothèses et certitudes. Au fil de son examen de la multiplication de nouvelles oeuvres fascinantes à l'échelon mondial, l'argument central de l'auteur est que le monde de l'art n'est plus hiérarchique mais pluriel, et que ses structures, si tant est qu'elles existent, sont provisoires.
L'Art aujourd'hui dresse la carte d'un monde instable. Avec une clarté sans faille et une profusion d'informations précises, l'auteur retrace la progression des développements contemporains et met en évidence leurs sources et leurs corrélations, dont beaucoup sont surprenantes. Le travail de près de 500 artistes contemporains est analysé et illustré en couleurs.
A la fois structuré, informatif, passionnant et faisant autorité, L'Art aujourd'hui constitue une première approche idéale pour tous ceux qui désirent s'intéresser à l'art contemporain. Ce guide clair et compréhensif est actuellement, et pour la première fois, disponible en broché.
Qu'il peigne un mystérieux personnage flottant sur un mince lavis de bleu ou un paysage d'hiver masqué par un enchevêtrement de branches, Peter Doig exploite la matérialité de sa technique pour créer ce qu'il appelle des " abstractions de souvenirs " et convertir des sensations passées an autant de tableaux ou de moments suspendus d'un étrange récit. Dans Gasthof zur Muldentalsperre (2000-2002), deux personnages costumés montent la garde devant un barrage de pierre tandis que, derrière eux, un lac de retenue reflète un ciel scintillant d'étoiles, le jeune homme emmitouflé de Blotter (1993) contemple son reflet sur un étang gelé, les six hommes en chemise blanche de Red Boat (Imaginary Boys) (2004) traversent en barque une forêt tropicale. L'oeuvre de Peter Doig a été présentée dans les plus grands musées du monde dont le Museum of Modern Art de New York, le Centre Georges Pompidou à Paris et la National Gallery of Canada à Ottawa ainsi que dans des expositions internationales d'art contemporain telles que la biennale SITE Santa Fe (2006), la Tate triennale (2003 et 2006) et la biennale de Venise (2003). Bien qu'il ait exercé une influence considérable sur la peinture contemporaine et ouvert la voie à une génération de peintres figuratifs originaux, son univers pictural reste sans équivalent. Peter Doig-qui a grandi au Canada- qui a vécu vingt ans à Londres et qui réside aujourd'hui à Trinité-et-Tobago, s'inspire d'une multitude de références, tant géographiques (de l'architecture moderne française aux pistes de ski du Québec) qu'artistiques (D'Ernst Kirchner à Philip Guston) et musicales (du Punk au Calypso). Si ces références apparaissent parfois en pleine lumière Figure in Landscape (1997-1998) est directement inspiré d'une photographie de Franklin Carmichael, peintre du mouvement canadien le groupe des Sept, elles sont le plus souvent enfouies sous la matière accumulée à la surface de la toile.
