Book excerpt: The first true monograph on the work of celebrated French conceptual artist and sculptor Bernar Venet Bernar Venet is one of France's most celebrated living artists. Having emerged from the late 1960s avant-garde scene in New York, Venet developed a personal aesthetic based on an innovative use of mathematics and science, where control, chance, and chaos converge to form a fine equilibrium while investigating their relationship with the environment. Conversant in many media, Venet is mostly known for his monumental outdoor sculptures in major cities worldwide and, in fall 19, his Arc Majeur is due for completion at a site in Belgium - at almost 200 feet in height (60 metres), Venet's sculpture will be taller than New York's Statue of Liberty.

This volume considers the Berlin works of iconic artists such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Daniel Libeskind, Dani Karavan, Bernar Venet, Keith Haring, Christian Boltanski, Richard Serra, Peter Eisenman, Henry Moore, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Brüggen, Wolf Vostell, Gerhard Richter, Eduardo Chillida, Jonathan Borofsky, Olaf Metzel, Sol LeWitt, Frank Gehry, Max Lingner, Bernhard Heiliger, Frank Thiel, Juan Garaizabal and more. The reader is led through seven chapters: Creative City Berlin, Introduction to Public Art, Public Art in Berlin, the Celebration of Berlin’s 750th Anniversary in 1987, Temporary public art, Socialist Realism in Art, and Urban Memorials. The chapter Public Art in Berlin discusses selected projects, Bundestag Public Art Collection, Public Art at Potsdamer Platz and The City and the river – a renewed relationship. The chapter on urban memorials discusses: Remembering the Divided City and Holocaust Memorials in Berlin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A massive, long-overdue retrospective on the multimedia image critique of Hito Steyerl, influential artist and author of Duty-Free Artand The Wretched of the Screen Over the past 30 years, through video and installation, the immensely influential German artist and writer Hito Steyerl (born 1966) has been tracking the ways that images have mutated--from the analogue image and its manifold possibilities for montage to the fluidity of the split digital image--and the implications these mutations have had for the representation of wars, genocides and the flow of capital. "We are no longer dealing with the virtual but with a confusing and possibly alien concreteness that we are only beginning to understand," writes Brian Kuan Wood of the digital visual worlds that the artist presents. At nearly 500 pages, this book--the first substantial overview on Steyerl--looks at multimedia installations and film projects of the past ten years, as well as earlier works, all of which are united by the artist's unflagging interrogation of the politics of the image.

Book excerpt: Mac Lyon Exposition " Bernar Venet, rétrospective 1961-2018 " 21 septembre 2018-06 janvier 2019 Commissaire : Thierry Raspail A l'initiative de Thierry Raspail, le mac Lyon présente un ensemble inédit et exceptionnel de plus de 170 oeuvres de Bernar Venet, des premières performances, dessins, diagrammes, peintures, jusqu'aux photographies, oeuvres sonores, films et sculptures, retraçant ainsi 59 années de création (1959-2018). Rétrospective la plus complète jamais réalisée, elle a pour objet d'examiner toutes les étapes qui conduisent, à l'orée des années 1960, un jeune artiste de 20 ans à " souhaiter retirer toute charge d'expression contenue dans l'oeuvre pour la réduire à un fait matériel ", puis à s'approprier l'astrophysique, la physique nucléaire et la logique mathématique, à interrompre cinq ans son activité pour opérer enfin un retour inattendu avec des toiles sur châssis. Suivront les oeuvres sonores, la poésie, puis les Lignes indéterminées, les Accidents, les dispersions, les Combinaisons aléatoires, jusqu'aux lignes indéfinies et courbes des sculptures monumentales en acier Corten. L'oeuvre protéiforme de Bernar Venet reste encore mal connue car elle est souvent exposée partiellement, en " périodes " ou selon une logique de support (les Goudrons, les sculptures en acier). Elle exige aujourd'hui d'être appréhendée dans son intégralité afin d'en cerner l'ampleur, la complexité, la poésie et l'évidence. Il convient d'en retracer le parcours afin de restituer au contexte qui l'a vu naître (l'apparition du happening en 1959, du Nouveau Réalisme, de Fluxus et de l'Ecole de Nice dans les années 1960, " l'invention " de l'art minimal et conceptuel aux Etats- Unis où Bernar Venet s'installe en 1966), la pertinence et le haut degré de création. C'est l'objet de cette rétrospective. Dès son plus jeune âge, Bernar Venet montre des affinités avec l'art. Dans les années 1960, il se rend à New York où, pendant les cinquante années suivantes, il explore peinture, poésie, film, et performance. ? Il entreprend alors une radicalisation sans précédent de l'expérience artistique et de la production esthétique. Découragé par les conventions de l'art français et fasciné par Marcel Duchamp et le formalisme américain, il est reconnu dès les années 1970 comme l'une des figures majeures de l'art conceptuel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researching Art Markets brings together a scholars from several, various disciplinary perspectives. In doing so, this collection offers a unique multi-disciplinary contribution that disentangles some of the key aspects and trends in art market practices from the past to nowadays, namely art collectors, the artist as an entrepreneur and career paths, and the formation and development of new markets. In understanding the global art market as an ecosystem, the book also examines how research and perceptions have evolved over time. Within the frameworks of contemporary social, economic and political contexts, issues such as business practices, the roles of market participants and the importance of networks are analysed by scholars of different disciplines. With insights from across the humanities and social sciences, the book explores how different methods can coexist to create an interdisciplinary international community of knowledge and research on art markets. Moreover, by providing historical as well as contemporary examples, this book explores the continuum and diversity of the art market. Overall, this book provides a valuable tool for understanding art markets within their wider context. The volume is of interest to scholars researching into the cultural and creative industries from a wider perspective.

Download or read book 0 to 9 written by Vito Acconci and published by Lost Literature. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published from 1967 to 1969 in seven limited mimeographed editions, "0 to 9" was edited by artist Vito Acconci and poet Bernadette Mayer. Seeking to explore the relationship between language and the page, Mayer and Acconci brought together the pioneers of 1960s experimental poetry and conceptual art. Sol LeWitt, Adrian Piper, Dan Graham, Ted Berrigan, Clark Coolidge, Robert Barry, Les Levine, Robert Smithson, Hannah Weiner, Emmett Williams, Dick Higgins, Yvonne Rainer, Aram Saroyan, Bernar Venet, Alan Sondheim and the editors themselves are but a few of the artists and writers who appeared in "0 to 9."~When considered as a whole, the chronological development of "0 to 9" provides a key understanding to, and perhaps the only exhaustive investigation of, the interstices between the concept-driven poetry of the late 60s and the pioneering formation of conceptual art. "0 to 9" was the first to publish the works of Dan Graham and Adrian Piper, as well as Sol LeWitt's "Sentences on Conceptual Art" and Jackson Mac Low's first poem series governed by chance operations, the "Biblical Poems."~"0 to 9: The Complete Magazine, 1967-1969" collects early works by more than 70 renowned artists and poets and provides a glimpse into the poetics of Vito Acconci.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to explore the fascinating career and fantasy-driven worlds created by the acclaimed Argentinean artist Adrián Villar Rojas's works concoct imaginary realms. Usually made from clay, his colossal installations are transitory and so cannot be collected, as they disappear or decay over time. His practice confronts the public with ideas of obsolescence and extinction, but also with the possibilities of humankind and its endless imagination. This is the first book to include all of Villar Rojas' most significant projects, featured in international biennials such as Venice, Documenta, Shanghai, and others.
Download or read book Art Discontent written by Thomas McEvilley and published by Documentext. This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‹€‹In these six essays, Thomas McEvilley tackles the aesthetics of formalism and proceeds to shed new light on the roots of Modernism and the collapse of the idea of history. The world-renowned critic confronts the ideas and philosophies which for two centuries have exalted art above constructive involvement in the world, and proposes a new vision for the critical enterprise. By explaining why our Modernism was not unique and why it is being superseded, McEvilley suggests functions that art performs in a post-Modern culture and offers compelling reasons why the history of art needs to be rewritten from an altered perspective. McEvilley argues, for example, against the dominant theoretical position which removed art from contextual examination by declaring its "sublime" nature somehow elevated above ordinary life, and he goes on to effectively destroy the notion that Modernism in the larger sense is an example of the superiority of technological society. More than anything else, however, he breathes real life into the intellectual understanding of contemporary art in a way that no critic has since perhaps Herbert Read. McEvilley humanizes the undertaking; in addition his wit is evident throughout. Chapters include "Heads It's Form, Tails It's Not Content," "On the Manner of Addressing Clouds," and "The Opposite of Emptiness."
