Abstract

Dans The Murmuring of the Artistic Multitude, le sociologue de l'art Pascal Gielen défend l'hypothèse selon laquelle le monde de l'art globalisé est un terrain idéal pour l'exploitation économique. Dans l'ivresse des villes créatives et de l'industrie créative, les gouvernements adoptent ce modèle de travail post-fordiste et s'intègrent donc parfaitement dans l'économie de marché mondiale et néolibérale. Gielen explore cette situation et veut en même temps proposer de nouvelles alternatives dont le monde de l'art a besoin pour maintenir sa propre dynamique et sa propre liberté. Sa recherche le mène vers des lieux d'intimité partagée et de «ralentissement» au milieu du flux mouvementé et mondial des développements et des tendances artistiques. Cette troisième édition a été entièrement révisée et mise à jour avec les plus récentes perspectives de Gielen sur les dimensions politiques de l'art, l'autonomie et la relation entre l'art, l'éthique et la démocratie. In 'The murmuring of the artistic multitude' art sociologist Pascal Gielen defends the hypothesis that the globalized art scene is an ideal production entity for economic exploitation. How can the art world preserve its won dynamic and freedom? Gielen's quest leads to places of intimacy and "slowability" in the hectic global flow of artistic events and artistically-minded trends. This third edition has been thoroughly updated with Gielen's latest insights into the political dimensions of art, autonomy and the relationship between art, ethics, and democracy.

Abstract

The everyday connotations of the original, the real, sincere, valid, historical or deep are well-known, and the opposite of the authentic may then be the superficial, false, not-what-it-seems, or just new. Nonetheless 'the real thing' presents us with some productive ambiguities that create a point of departure for an analysis and a better understanding of the changes in the post-digital society. Digital technology is embedded in almost every personal relationship, in labour conditions, and in aesthetic practices. What does this mean for the 'authentic'? To unfold the nuances of the concept of contemporary authenticity this book aims to bring together different thinkers to reflect on the meaning of the authentic now. As a process and as a fluid and performative scheme to be enacted at any time?not just in terms of art and art making but flowing into every single nook of contemporary life, from the intimate to the public.

Abstract

In a world ruled by seemingly continuous and increasingly complex conflicts, questions about justice, about 'the right' course of action, are at the forefront of artistic investigation. In *Aesthetic Justice* sociologist Pascal Gielen and curator Niels Van Tomme invite a variety of artists and critical thinkers to reflect on new futures for the notion and practice of justice. Launching the proposition of 'aesthetic justice', the book offers thought-provoking views on how works of art can confront, and potentially redirect social and political imaginaries. Using analyses of contemporary art works that challenge the social, political, or economic status quo, as well as theoretical reflections and interviews with artists, this book imagines alternatives for a more just future.

Abstract

Once considered a mere caretaker for collections, the curator is now widely viewed as a globally connected auteur. Over the last twenty-five years, as international group exhibitions and biennials have become the dominant mode of presenting contemporary art to the public, curatorship has begun to be perceived as a constellation of creative activities not unlike artistic praxis. The curator has gone from being a behind-the-scenes organizer and selector to a visible, centrally important cultural producer. In The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s), Paul O'Neill examines the emergence of independent curatorship and the discourse that helped to establish it. O'Neill describes how, by the 1980s, curated group exhibitions―large-scale, temporary projects with artworks cast as illustrative fragments―came to be understood as the creative work of curator-auteurs. The proliferation of new biennials and other large international exhibitions in the 1990s created a cohort of high-profile, globally mobile curators, moving from Venice to Paris to Kassel. In the 1990s, curatorial and artistic practice converged, blurring the distinction between artist and curator.O'Neill argues that this change in the understanding of curatorship was shaped by a curator-centered discourse that effectively advocated―and authorized―the new independent curatorial practice. Drawing on the extensive curatorial literature and his own interviews with leading curators, critics, art historians, and artists, O'Neill traces the development of the curator-as-artist model and the ways it has been contested. The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s) documents the many ways in which our perception of art has been transformed by curating and the discourses surrounding it.

Abstract

Over the past decade, the European Union has fallen into a drawn-out crisis, politically as well as economically. In this book, the authors argue that analyses of this crisis miss an important element: culture. Faith in politics, like faith in a European currency, is first and foremost a cultural issue. Democracy is a matter of political culture, just as good economic relations are a matter of economic culture. So, culture as a shared frame of reference and as something that lends meaning to people's lives is not the superstructure but the very foundation or substructure of any society. Its essays analyze and describe both theoretical models and straightforward, concrete and provocative examples that clarify this central thesis: culture is an essential, binding fabric of investigating and assessing our identity, our human activities and how we can critically reflect on these. What would happen if culture succeeded in giving the European project a completely different meaning or sense?

Abstract

Every kind of change belongs to a form of community art¿, stelt de Italiaanse filosoof Antonio Negri. Het is de omkering van het gebruikelijke adagium dat community art een deel kan zijn van gewenste maatschappelijke veranderingen. Negri stelt niet alleen de community art, haar voorstanders en critici voor een uitdagende verantwoordelijkheid, maar iedereen in de samenleving die verandering wil teweeg brengen op sociaal, politiek, economische, technologisch of ecologisch vlak. Artistiek én collectief denken gaan hand in hand. In Community Art denken zowel artiesten als theoretici over artistieke en maatschappelijke bewegingen en blokkades in westerse en niet-westerse samenlevingen, op lokaal en mondiaal niveau, en in concrete artistieke praktijken en in concepten. Het resultaat is geen sluitend theoretisch model, maar een nieuwe en kritische herformulering van community art in de samenleving.

Abstract

Résumé éditeur : "Current art world statistics demonstrate that the fight for gender and race equality in the art world is far from over: only sixteen percent of this year's Venice Biennale artists were female; only fourteen percent of the work displayed at MoMA in 2016 was by nonwhite artists; only a third of artists represented by U.S. galleries are female, but over two-thirds of students enrolled in art and art-history programs are young women. Arranged in thematic sections focusing on feminism, race, and sexuality, Curatorial Activism examines and illustrates pioneering examples of exhibitions that have broken down boundaries and demonstrated that new approaches are possible, from Linda Nochlin's "Women Artists" at LACMA in the mid-1970s to Jean-Hubert Martin's "Carambolages" in 2016 at the Grand Palais in Paris. Profiles key exhibitions by pioneering curators including Okwui Enwezor, Linda Nochlin, Jean-Hubert Martin and Nan Goldin, with a foreword by Lucy Lippard, internationally known art critic, activist and curator, and early champion of feminist art, this volume is both an invaluable source of practical information for those who understand that institutions must be a driving force in this area and a vital source of inspiration for today's expanding new generation of curators."

Abstract

Since the #MeToo movement, the masculine exercise of power has been closely scrutinised. The focus on 'toxic' masculinity impacts our perception of male sexuality, which substantially influences the self-image and self-esteem of men. Men are being shamed by others, and they also feel ashamed. This book explores both positions, examining the representation of male sexuality, nudity, fatherhood, violence, rape, fascism and virility, and men and war from male as well as female perspectives. It presents artworks that deal with the intricacies and contradictions of these sociocultural constructs and realities, and combines scholarly essays with short stories and personal testimonies. - Exhibition: H401, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (23.10.2020 - 31.01.2021). Sinds de #metoo-beweging zijn vormen van mannelijk seksueel geweld en machtsmisbruik op grote schaal onder de loep genomen. De focus op ‘toxic masculinity’ heeft invloed op onze perceptie van mannelijke seksualiteit, die het zelfbeeld en het zelfrespect van mannen aanzienlijk beïnvloedt. Mannen worden door anderen beschaamd vanwege hun grensoverschrijdende en minachtende houding; en ze schamen zich intrinsiek voor hun eigen fouten of voor de virulente patronen en tradities binnen de ‘westerse’ opvatting van mannelijkheid.Shame! and Maculinity onderzoekt deze beide standpunten. Het bekijkt de representatie van verschillende aspecten rondom mannelijkheid, zoals seksualiteit, naaktheid, vaderschap, mannelijk geweld, verkrachting, fascisme en mannen en oorlog. Het boek toont verschillende kunstwerken die de finesses en tegenstrijdig-heden inherent aan deze sociaal-culturele constructies en realiteiten adresseren.Shame! and Masculinity is hybride in genre; korte verhalen worden gecombineerd met wetenschappelijke essays, persoonlijke getuigenissen en provocerende en intieme kunstenaarsbijdragen. Het boek reflecteert op de vele betekenissen van mannelijkheid, vanuit uiteenlopende perspectieven. Deze ‘mannelijkheids’-kwesties, die een pregnante rol spelen in de hedendaagse samenleving, maar ook in onze persoonlijke ervaring, in de geschiedenis en in ons eigen lichaam, worden zo gedifferentieerd onderzocht om zo ruim baan te bieden aan andere, en nieuwe vormen van verbeelding.Dit is het tweede deel in de PLURAL-serie. PLURAL richt zich op de intersectie tussen identiteit, macht, representatie en emancipatie, en hoe die tot uiting komt binnen de kunsten en in andere culturele praktijken. De PLURAL-delen willen recht doen aan de veelheid van stemmen, ervaringen en perspectieven in de samenleving en in de kunsten, met nieuwe en kritische inzichten van cultuur- en sociale wetenschappers, kunstenaars, activisten, kunstprofessionals en theoretici. Daarmee wil de serie zowel de geschiedenis, de hedendaagse en toekomstige betekenis van deze diverse posities en hun onderlinge relaties aan de orde stellen. Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms (Valiz, 2020) is het eerste boek in de PLURAL-reeks.

Abstract

This is an anthology of essays that first appeared in The Artist as Curator, a series that occupied eleven issues of Mousse from no. 41 (December 2013/January 2014) to no. 51 (December 2015/January 2016). It set out to examine what was then a profoundly influential but still under-studied phenomenon, a history that had yet to be written: the fundamental role artists have played as curators. Taking that ontologically ambiguous thing we call “the exhibition” as a critical medium, artists have often radically rethought conventional forms of exhibition making. This anthology surveys seminal examples of such exhibitions from the postwar to the present, including rare documents and illustrations.

It includes an introduction and the twenty essays that first appeared in Mousse, a newly commissioned afterword by Hans Ulrich Obrist, and two additional essays that appear here for the first time, discussing twenty-two exhibitions by the Avant-Garde Argentinian Visual Artists Group; Mel Bochner; Marcel Broodthaers; Hank Bull, Shen Fan, Zhou Tiehai, Shi Yong, and Ding Yi; John Cage; Judy Chicago, Miriam Schapiro, and the CalArts Feminist Art Program; Collaborative Projects Inc. (Colab); Alice Creischer, Andreas Siekmann, and Max Jorge Hinderer; Liam Gillick and Philippe Parreno; Group Material; Richard Hamilton and Victor Pasmore; David Hammons; Martin Kippenberger; Mark Leckey; Goshka Macuga; Lucy McKenzie and Paulina Ołowska; Hélio Oiticica; Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari; Martha Rosler; Avdey Ter-Oganyan; Philippe Thomas; and Andy Warhol.
