Paru en 1971 dans ArtNews, "Pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas eu de grands artistes femmes ? " a fait date dans l'histoire de l'art. Largement reconnue comme la première historienne de l'art féministe, Linda Nochlin démantèle la notion de génie artistique codée par les hommes et dévoile les structures institutionnelles et sociales qui ont tenu les femmes à l'écart des carrières artistiques pendant des siècles.
Elle consacre ensuite une longue étude à la figure de l'artiste Rosa Bonheur et sa place dans la société. Rédigé il y a plus de trente ans mais toujours très actuel, ce texte a été publié pour la première fois en français en 1993 au sein du recueil désormais épuisé Femmes, Art et Pouvoir (éd. Jacqueline Chambon). Il fait ici l'objet d'une nouvelle traduction. En français, le titre de l'ouvrage a toujours été traduit au masculin, puisque le recours à l'idée de grandeur dans l'histoire de l'art a systématiquement été formulé par des hommes, sur des hommes.
De fait, le féminin en a été purement et simplement exclu. Pour cette édition, ce livre est accompagné d'un appendice de Linda Nochlin appelé "Trente ans plus tard", où elle commente l'émergence de nouvelles artistes, notamment Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois et Cindy Sherman.

A sweeping cross-media survey of Ruscha's six-decade career, from paintings and works on paper to photographs and artist's books, with essays by leading scholars.
Spanning 65 years of Ed Ruscha's remarkable career and mirroring his own cross-disciplinary approach, Ed Ruscha / Now Then features over 250 objects, produced from 1958 to the present, including paintings, drawings, prints, films, photographs, artist's books and installations. Published to accompany the most comprehensive presentation of the artist's work to date, and his first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated catalog highlights Ruscha's most acclaimed works alongside lesser-known aspects of his practice.
Essays by an interdisciplinary group of contributors examine Ruscha's work under a new light, beyond the categories of Pop and Conceptual art with which he has traditionally been associated, to present fresh perspectives on one of the most influential figures in postwar American art. Taken together, they underscore Ruscha's singular contributions, including his material exploration of language, experiments with unconventional mediums?such as gunpowder, chocolate or chewing tobacco?and his groundbreaking self-published books. Supplemented by an illustrated chronology and exhibition history, this publication captures the ceaseless reinvention that has defined his prolific, six-decade career.

Consommer plus pour travailler plus : c'est ce que, en 1932, préconise Bernard London face à l'inaction du Président Hoover (1929-1933) et à la veille des grands chantiers du Président Roosevelt (1932-1945). Pour le courtier new-yorkais en immobilier, il suffit de proposer une sorte de " prime à la casse ", pénalisant la détention de tout objet ayant dépassé sa date fiscale de péremption. Ainsi, tant par le management que par la planification, l'économie américaine retrouvera l'" équilibre entre production et consommation ". Précisons que vingt ans plus tard, le baby boom, la publicité, le marketing et le crédit élèveraient l'achat au rang d'un art purement consumériste et la production à celui d'une obsolescence véritablement programmée...

Gardens have always been places of leisure, pleasure, and production - they reflect identities, dreams, and visions. Deeply rooted in their culture, gardens have immense symbolic potential.
The recent revival of horticulture has focused less on the garden as a romantic refuge than as a place where we imagine the future and develop solutions. Urban farms, vertical gardens, and other innovative projects in art, architecture, and urban planning demonstrate that the present return to the garden is no timid retreat, but a pioneering quest for a world in which social and ecological justice count for something.
Garden Futures examines what gardens and their design reveal about our relationship to nature. In exploring the history of ideas behind the genesis of the modern garden, the book takes a close look at the present, goes in search of origins in the past, and builds bridges into the future. Stunning photographs illustrate ground-breaking gardens by such designers as Derek Jarman and Piet Oudolf while critical articles by well-known authors question conventional garden ideals. Authors and gardeners including Gilles Clement and Jamaica Kincaid present the garden as a place of learning where abstract concepts like ecology, climate change, and food insecurity are translated into things you can smell, touch, and taste. Daisy Ginsberg, Salmon Creek Farm, and EcoLogic Studio create experimental and speculative projects generating new attitudes and approaches.

« L'intérêt qui s'est attaché à la régénération des Halles centrales de Paris et les demandes de renseignements de toutes sortes qui nous sont adressées journellement à ce sujet, nous imposent en quelque sorte d'y répondre par la publication d'un ouvrage complet sur cette importante entreprise. » Les éditions B2 publient la Monographie des Halles centrales de Paris construites sous le règne de Napoléon III et sous l'administration de M. le Baron Haussmann, rédigée par Victor Baltard en 1863. L'architecte revient sur ce projet si critiqué à son commencement mais qui va marquer le centre de Paris pour plus d'un siècle.
"For Blue there are no boundaries or solutions." -Derek Jarman.
Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman's death due to an AIDS-related illness, Blue is a daring and powerful work of art. The film - and this highly-anticipated book's text - serve as iconoclastic responses to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis.
Written poetically and surrealistically, Jarman's text moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical. Stories of quotidian life--getting coffee, reading the newspaper, and walking down the sidewalk--escalate to visions of Marco Polo, the Taj Mahal, or blue fighting yellow. Facing death and a cascade of pills, Jarman presents his illness in delirium and metaphors. He contemplates the physicality of emotions in lyrical prose as he grounds this story in the constant return to Blue - a color, a feeling, a funk. Michael Charlesworth's compelling introduction brings Blue into conversation with Jarman's visual paintings as never before.
The fourth edition of the essential introduction to digital art, one of contemporary art's most exciting and dynamic forms of practice.
This new edition of Christiane Paul's acclaimed book investigates key areas of digital art practice that have gained in prominence in recent years, including the emergence and impact of location-based media, interactive public installation, augmentive and mixed reality, social networking and file-sharing and tablet technologies. It explores themes raised by digital artworks, such as viewer interaction, artificial life and intelligence, political and social activism, networks and telepresence, and issues surrounding the collection, presentation and preservation of digital art. It also looks at the impact of digital techniques and media on traditional forms of art such as printing, painting, photography and sculpture, as well as exploring the ways in which entirely new forms such as internet and software art, digital installation and virtual reality have emerged as recognized artistic practices.
An ingenious and collectible book-as-poster documenting Prince's half-century of image appropriation.
For aficionados of Richard Prince (born 1949) and of the possibilities of the book form, this unique exhibition catalog is an exclusive three-in-one kind of publication. Designed in the dimensions of a 12 x 12-inch LP record and housed in a plastic sleeve, when unfolded it transforms into a two-sided (one English, one Danish) poster with a richly illustrated collage of works by Prince from across his career (including his famous "rephotographs"), plus two in-depth texts on Prince's oeuvre by the curators Nancy Spector and Anders Kold.
A defining figure of the Pictures Generation, Prince is famed for his radical acts of appropriation, which have taken many turns across the course of his five-decade career. His visual world, encapsulated in this innovatively designed volume, offers a remarkably consistent portrait of late 20th-century America.
The landmark survey of Judd's iconic spaces, featuring new drawing details, archival materials and more.
This second expanded edition presents an unprecedented visual survey of the living and working spaces of the artist Donald Judd in New York and Texas. Filled with newly commissioned and archival photographs alongside five essays by the artist, this book provides an opportunity to explore Judd's personal spaces, which are a crucial part of this revered artist's oeuvre.
From a 19th-century cast-iron building in Manhattan to an extensive ranch in the mountains of western Texas, this book details the interiors, exteriors and land surrounding the buildings that comprise Judd's extant living and working spaces. Readers will discover how Judd developed the concept of permanent installation at Spring Street in New York City, with artworks, furniture and decorative objects striking a balance between the building's historical qualities and his own architectural innovations. His buildings in Marfa, Texas, demonstrate how Judd reiterated his concept of integrative living on a larger scale, extending to the reaches of the Chinati Mountains at Ayala de Chinati, his 33,000-acre ranch south of the town. Each of the spaces was thoroughly considered by Judd with resolute attention to function and design. From furniture to utilitarian structures that Judd designed himself, these residences reflect Judd's consistent aesthetic. His spaces underscore his deep interest in the preservation of buildings and his deliberate interventions within existing architecture.
Donald Judd (1928-94) was born in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. After serving in the United States Army, he attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia; the Art Students League of New York; and Columbia University in New York, where he completed a BS in philosophy in 1953. Judd was a prolific critic for magazines including Arts, Art International and Art News; he continued to write throughout his career, addressing the relationship of art practice to architecture, design, political action and lived experience in letters and published essays. As an artist, he started out as a painter before turning to three-dimensional work. His radical work and thinking helped shape the art of the late 20th century and continues to influence artists, architects and designers.
Hackers, scholars, artists and activists of all regions, races and sexual orientations consider how humans might reconstruct themselves by way of technology.
When learning about internet history, we are taught to focus on engineering, the military-industrial complex and the grandfathers who created the architecture and protocol, but the internet is not only a network of cables, servers and computers. It is an environment that shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants and their use.
