Nicolas Bourriaud Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

"My work has moved away from the idea of a painting as an object," Michael Lin (born 1964) observes. "I'm more interested in creating a painting as a space to occupy." Lin makes painted installations that reconfigure institutional spaces with designs appropriated from Taiwanese textiles. This publication is the first comprehensive overview of his work.

If modernity warrants a return to the origin of art, then French curatorand art critic Nicolas Bourriaud is right when he claims that this is thetime to redefine the concept of -what is modern. Our century'smodernity will be invented, precisely, in opposition to all radicalism,claims Bourriaud. So then, being radicant - from the Latin origin of- roots - means setting one's roots in motion, transplanting behaviors,and exchanging ideas rather than imposing them. Looking at the worldthrough his globalized prism of art, Bourriaud sketches a world artcriticism in which works are in constant dialog with the context fromwhich they reproduced.

Autor sleduje činnost tvůrců konce 20. a začátku 21. století, kteří vkládají své umělecké dílo do již existující sítě znaků a významů ("kultura užití").Z existujících věcí, děl a produktů vybírají jeden nebo i více a znovu ji použijí nebo ji s určitým záměrem přetvoří. Umělci postprodukce vynalézají nové způsoby užití uměleckých děl. Do svých vlastních výtvorů vkládají různé zvukové či vizuální formy převzaté z minulosti.

Beyond the scope of the defining non-material characteristics of sound, sound becomes a formal material, a kind of audible sculpture accompanied by discourse on its constructive, societal, philosophical, and emotional aspects. At least, it does for the contemporary artists represented in Frequencies [HZ], each of whom works with sound within the context of visual art--Angela Bulloch, Farmersmanual, Ryoji Ikeda, Daniel Pflumm, Ultra-red, Mika Vainio, and others. With an audio CD ingeniously integrated into the book's cover design, and reproductions of sculptural and visual art, as well as specific, often minimalistic installations and interventions which employ sound or electronic experiments with sound, Frequencies [HZ] explores how sound impacts upon the perception of architecture and otherwise influences the components of individual experience. Participating artists reflect on the institutional context and the situation that evolves between the work of art and the viewer.

Where does our current obsession for interactivity stem from? After the consumer society and the communication era, does art still contribute to the emergence of a rational society? Nicolas Bourriaud attempts to renew our approach toward contemporary art by getting as close as possible to the artists' works, and by revealing the principles that structure their thoughts: an aesthetic of the inter-human, of the encounter; of proximity, of resisting social formatting. The aim of his essay is to produce the tools to enable us to understand the evolution of today's art. We meet Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Louis Althusser, Rirkrit Tiravanija or Félix Guattari, along with most of today's practising creative artists.
