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 excerpt: « Il semblerait qu'à peu d'exceptions près le désir de toucher le fond même du réel pousse Bacon, d'une manière ou d'une autre, jusqu'aux limites du tolérable et que, lorsqu'il s'attaque à un thème apparemment anodin (cas de beaucoup le plus fréquent, surtout dans les oeuvres récentes), il faille que le paroxysme soit introduit du moins par la facture, comme si l'acte de peindre procédait nécessairement d'une sorte d'exacerbation, donnée ou non dans ce qui est pris pour base, et comme si, la réalité de la vie ne pouvant être saisie que sous une forme criante, criante de vérité comme on dit, ce cri devait être, s'il n'est pas issu de la chose même, celui de l'artiste possédé par la rage de saisir. » Michel Leiris
Download or read book L art contemporain written by Jean-Luc Chalumeau and published by Uppr Editions . This book was released on 2014-10-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Réputé difficile d'accès voire inintelligible, l'art contemporain, qui succède à l'art dit « moderne », soulève soit l'enthousiasme des initiés, soit l'indignation de ceux pour qui il reste hermétique. Pour certains, il manifeste la négation même de l'idée de Beauté, ou une sorte de nihilisme esthétique. Qu'en est-il réellement ? Le 3 avril 1997, le quotidien Le Monde publiait un important article du célèbre critique d’art Jean-Luc Chalumeau sous le titre Mauvaise querelle sur l’art contemporain. L’auteur intervenait dans une polémique, qui faisait rage alors, en renvoyant dos à dos les contempteurs de l’art dit « contemporain » récusé en bloc et ses défenseurs inconditionnels, aveugles à certaines impostures. Dix-sept ans plus tard, la situation, loin de s’être apaisée, paraît plus explosive encore, comme en témoigne le film récent « La ruée vers l’art ». C’est pourquoi le livre en ligne L’art contemporain que Jean-Luc Chalumeau signe aujourd’hui propose une vue d’ensemble aussi équilibrée et documentée que possible en 40 pages. Après avoir défini ce qu’il faut entendre par « art contemporain », il aborde le problème en quatre parties : 1. Comment est né et s’est épanoui l’art contemporain. 2. Comment les puissances d’argent ont pris le pouvoir. 3. Quels sont les arguments des protagonistes de la polémique. 4. Qui sont les principaux artistes contemporains, répartis en une brève typologie. L'auteur nous propose donc, dans cet ouvrage remarquable de clarté, de mieux comprendre les origines et les enjeux de cet art qui, quoi qu'on en pense, fait partie intégrante de notre temps.
Download or read book Interdisciplinarity for the 21st Century written by Bharath Sriraman and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinarity has become increasingly important for emergent professions of the 21st century yet there is a dearth of systematic studies aimed at implementing it in the school and university curricula. The Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS ) group places Mathematics as a vehicle through which deep and meaningful connections can be forged with the Arts and the Sciences and as a means of promoting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary thinking traits amongst students. The Third International Symposium held by the MACAS group in Moncton, Canada in 2009 included numerous initiatives and ideas for interdisciplinarity that are implementable in both the school and university setting. The chapters in this book cover interdisciplinary links with mathematics found in the domains of culture, art, aesthetics, music, cognition, history, philosophy, engineering, technology and science with contributors from Canada, U.S, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Iran and Poland amongst others.
Download or read book Cr ation Essai sur l art contemporain written by Daniel Sibony and published by Média Diffusion. This book was released on 2017-03-28T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'art contemporain suscite passion, perplexité, intérêt, mépris ou suspicion... selon les cas; selon la manière dont " ça choque " nos identifications. Et si cet art, comme phénomène vivant, avait des enjeux essentiels, qui touchent à notre rapport au monde, aux autres, au transcendant, à la valeur, et à cette chose étrange et galvaudée qu'on appelle la création ? En fait, qu'est-ce qui spécifie l'art contemporain ? Que s'y passe-t-il pour les artistes, pour les publics ? Où en sont leurs liens complexes, qu'on dit " interactifs " ? Comment se fixe la valeur de ces œuvres singulières, qui sont souvent des cassures où éclatent jubilation et détresse, exaltation et défaite ? Que cherchent donc ces artistes sur l'arête où ils nous montrent à la fois la plénitude et l'angoisse, le désir et l'effondrement, le plaisir et son au-delà douloureux ? Comment ces narcissismes enthousiastes et blessés deviennent-ils créateurs de réalité ? Pourquoi notre idée même de l'esthétique est-elle forcément bousculée, ainsi que notre notion d'identité – dont on sait la portée subjective et planétaire? Ce livre – le trentième de l'auteur – répond de façon nouvelle, offrant une approche inédite à ceux qui veulent plonger dans l'inconscient de l'art actuel. Docteur d'État en mathématiques et en philosophie, Daniel Sibony est psychanalyste. Il est notamment l'auteur de : Entre-deux, Les Trois Monothéismes, Le Corps et sa danse, Proche-Orient. Psychanalyse d'un conflit, L'Énigme antisémite.
