The colossal two-part catalog accompanying the 2022 biennial’s ambitious exploration of metamorphosis, as imagined by 213 artists from across the world Named after a children’s book by Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, the 59th Venice Biennale takes Carrington’s fey creatures, along with other figures of transformation, as companions on an imaginary journey through the metamorphoses of bodies and slippery definitions of humanity. Volume I of this two-part publication addresses the conceptual basis of The Milk of Dreams, as developed by curator Cecilia Alemani, and further elaborates upon its thematic threads. Each artist from the 2022 Biennale is introduced by way of a critical text and an iconographic apparatus. The volume includes Alemani’s original exhibition texts and a plethora of original essays by some of today’s most cutting-edge thinkers and writers, with conversations and reprinted texts concerning the exhibition: the representation of bodies and their metamorphoses, the relationship between individuals and technologies, and the connection between bodies and the earth. Volume II of the catalog presents the participating countries and the collateral events of the biennale; its lavishly illustrated texts explore the various projects on display in Venice. Artists include: Sophia Al-Maria, Josephine Baker, Djuna Barnes, Jadé Fadojutimi, Nan Goldin, Robert Grosvenor, Tishan Hsu, Jacqueline Humphries, Allison Katz, Kapwani Kiwanga, Barbara Kruger, Hannah Levy, Liliane Lijn, Candice Lin, Precious Okoyomon, Akosua Adoma Owusu, Elle Pérez, Aki Sasamoto, Sable Elyse Smith, Kaari Upson, Andra Ursuta, Cecilia Vicuña, Marianne Vitale, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller and Laura Wheeler Waring.

"En 1990, Julie Delporte n'a encore jamais vu de butch, mais sa tante préférée chasse et fume le cigare. Presque vingt ans plus tard, elle publie un livre sur Tove Jansson dans lequel elle raconte avec joie que cette artiste finlandaise est la première femme à qui elle s'identifie, seulement elle était lesbienne et pas Julie. À 35 ans, après avoir surligné de toutes les couleurs son exemplaire de La pensée straight de Monique Wittig, Julie Delporte arrête de porter des robes et prend son avenir en main. Dans ce roman graphique qui fait suite à Moi aussi je voulais l'emporter, l'autrice retrace l'histoire de sa sexualité. Une histoire marquée par la violence malheureusement trop banale des agressions, comme par celle des clichés et des injonctions liés à une culture de la performance et de l'hétéronormativité."--

Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly is the first book to catalog the entire career of the Guerrilla Girls from 1985 to present. The Guerrilla girls are a collective of political feminist artists who expose discrimination and corruption in art, film, politics, and pop culture all around the world. This book explores all their provocative street campaigns, unforgettable media appearances, and large-scale exhibitions. Captions by the Guerrilla Girls themselves contextualize the visuals. Explores their well-researched, intersectional takedown of the patriarchy In 1985, a group of masked feminist avengers'known as the Guerrilla Girls'papered downtown Manhattan with posters calling out the Museum of Modern Art for its lack of representation of female artists. They quickly became a global phenomenon, and the fearless activists have produced hundreds of posters, stickers, and billboards ever since. More than a monograph, this book is a call to arms. This career-spanning volume is published to coincide with their 35th anniversary. Perfect for artists, art lovers, feminists, fans of the Guerrilla Girls, students, and activists You'll love this book if you love books like Wall and Piece by Banksy, Why We March: Signs of Protest and Hope by Artisan, and Graffiti Women: Street Art from Five Continents by Nicholas Ganz.

Dans la foulée du numéro précédent, qui portait sur les féminismes, ce dossier poursuit la réflexion sur la question des genres et des sexualités en s’attardant aux pratiques et aux théories qui cherchent à transcender la pensée binaire de la société patriarcale hétéronormative et cisnormative. On y explore notamment les stratégies déployées par les artistes afin de rendre visible les communautés LGBT+ et de faire entendre la multiplicité des voix en marge du régime patriarcal de production des savoirs.

Ce numéro s’intéresse aux rapports singuliers entre l’art et les féminismes. En tenant compte de la multiplicité des subjectivités et de l’hétérogénéité des femmes, il s’agit de faire connaitre comment les multiples pratiques et les théories sur l’art participent à déconstruire les oppressions et les limites liées au genre. On présente une sélection de pratiques féminines et féministes, militantes ou non, issues d’approches et de communautés diverses. Les différentes revendications, prises de position et affirmations témoignent de la diversité des artistes : subversion, soulèvement protestataire, remise en question des archétypes de genre et d’hétéronormativité, approche féministe postcoloniale, résurgence des pratiques ancestrales, représentation de soi, utilisation consciente et assumée de la séduction sont autant de manières de dire, encore, la nécessité des féminismes.

"From Surrealist selfies to feminist self-portraiture, the ISelf Collection explores identity and the human condition through the central themes of birth, death, sexuality, love, pain and joy. Taking the display of the collection at Whitechapel Gallery as its springboard, this book looks generally at the question of the self in modern and contemporary art, and the ways in which artists are thinking about being and identity as an individual, in relation to others, to society and the wider world. Featuring works by a world-class roster of artists including Francis Alys, Fiona Banner, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Alex Katz, Sarah Lucas, Mike Nelson, Cindy Sherman, John Stezaker and Wolfgang Tillmans, this fully illustrated catalogue also includes essays by Glenn Adamson, Frances Borzello, Nicholas Cullinan and Amelia Jones, as well as a selection of quotes by influential writers and theorists as chosen by some of the artists included."

"Arts visuel" est l'un des soixante-six textes thématiques de cette encyclopédie explorent les reconfigurations en cours des études de genre. Trois axes transversaux organisent cette enquête collective: le corps, la sexualité, les rapports sociaux. Les inégalités liées au genre sont de plus en plus envisagées en relation avec celles liées à la classe sociale, la couleur de peau, l'apparence physique, la santé ou encore l'âge. Cette approche multidimensionnelle des rapports sociaux a transformé radicalement les manières de penser la domination au sein des recherches sur le genre. En analysant les concepts, les enquêtes empiriques et les débats caractéristiques de ces transformations saillantes, les contributrices et contributeurs de cet ouvrage dessinent une cartographie critique des études de genre en ce début de XXIe siècle.

a 4e de couverture indique : [L'auteure] est aujourd'hui l'une des plus importantes théoriciennes de la photographie. Historienne de l'art, critique et professeur émérite à l'université de Californie à Santa Barbara, ses travaux portent principalement sur la théorie du genre, les études féministes, la culture visuelle en France au XIXe siècle, l'histoire de la photographie et l'art contemporain. ... le présent recueil réunit pour la première fois en langue française un ensemble d'essais parmi les plus significatifs de cette auteure majeure. ... l'ouvrage propose une première partie sur les discours de l'histoire de la photographie, une deuxième sur les pratiques documentaires et une troisième sur la représentation du féminin.

La version française que nous republions ici est un facsimile de l’édition originale anglaise parue en 1972. La traduction est une reprise de la version établie par Monique Triomphe pour les éditions Alain Moreau en 1976. En 1971, John Berger imagine avec le producteur Michael Dibb la série Ways of seeing pour la chaîne de télévision de la BBC. Cette série rencontre à l’époque un grand succès. L’année suivante un livre du même nom, fruit d’une collaboration entre Berger, Dibb, Chris Fox, l’artiste Sven Blomberg et le graphiste Richard Hollis est publié. C’est bien la vision typographique d’une justesse irréfutable créée par ce dernier qui fera rentrer l’ouvrage dans la bibliothèque des designers. En sept essais, Berger rappelle les modalités de commande des peintures de la renaissance et démontre ainsi le pouvoir de la classe dominante. Il analyse la filiation entre ces modalités et le développement et l’omniprésence des codes de la publicité dans notre société capitaliste contemporaine. Il encourage ainsi le spectateurice-lecteurice à questionner les images qui l’entourent au quotidien. Il s’appuie sur près de 160 reproductions de tableaux et d’images publicitaires, et analyse le traitement du corps féminin dans l’histoire de l’art parallèlement à nos relations aux objets, au pouvoir et à la propriété.

''This book brings together writings by feminists in the adult industry and research by feminist porn scholars. It investigates not only how feminists understand pornography, but also how feminists do porn - that is, direct, act in, produce, and consume this kind of 'industry'. With contributions by Susie Bright, Candida Royalle, Betty Dodson, Nina Hartley, Buck Angel, Lynn Comella, Jane Ward, Ariane Cruz, Kevin Heffernan, and more.''-- Fourni par l'éditeur.

Entre théorie et création rassemble des essais portant sur la production actuelle de créatrices, toutes formes d’art confondues. En première partie, l’ouvrage se concentre sur des œuvres présentées dans l’exposition Loin des yeux près du corps qui rendent perceptibles des expériences sensitives ou organiques que le regard seul ne peut saisir. Dans la seconde, il regroupe des textes qui se penchent sur les liens intimes entre la théorie et la création dans le travail des femmes artistes, auteures, historiennes et théoriciennes. Partant de l’idée que nos espaces de vie sont indissociables de ceux de la pensée ou de la création, l’ouvrage fait part de pratiques qui s’investissent dans la production d’un savoir critique sur nos manières de créer et de réfléchir. Ensemble, ces essais et ces œuvres montrent combien le corps et l’esprit fusionnent lorsqu’ils s’engagent dans l’affirmation d’une identité sans cesse à revoir.

Groundbreaking art from a revolutionary era, featuring work by more than 120 international artists, from Louise Bourgeois and Yoko Ono to Martha Rosler, Marina Abramović, and Cindy Sherman. There had never been art like the art produced by women artists in the 1970s, and there has never been a book with the ambition and scope of this one about that groundbreaking era. WACK! documents and illustrates the impact of the feminist revolution on art made between 1965 and 1980, featuring pioneering and influential works by artists who came of age during that period, Chantal Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Valie Export, Mary Heilmann, Sanja Iveković, Ana Mendieta, Annette Messager, and others, as well as important works made in those years by artists whose careers were already well established, including Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Lucy Lippard, Alice Neel, and Yoko Ono. The art surveyed in WACK! includes work by more than 120 artists, in all media, from painting and sculpture to photography, film, installation, and video, arranged not by chronology but by theme: Abstraction, "Autophotography," Body as Medium, Family Stories, Gender Performance, Knowledge as Power, Making Art History, and others. WACK!, which accompanies the first international museum exhibition to showcase feminist art from this revolutionary era, contains more than 400 color images. Highlights include the figurative paintings of Joan Semmel; the performance and film collaborations of Sally Potter and Rose English; the untitled film stills of Cindy Sherman; and the large-scale, craft-based sculptures of Magdalena Abakanowicz. Written entries on each artist offer key biographical and descriptive information and accompanying essays by leading critics, art historians, and scholars offer new perspectives on feminist art practice. The topics, including the relationship between American and European feminism, feminism and New York abstraction, and mapping a global feminism, provide a broad social context for the artworks themselves. WACK! is both a definitive visual record and a long-awaited history of one of the most important artistic movements of the twentieth century. Essays by: Cornelia Butler, Judith Russi Kirshner, Catherine Lord, Marsha Meskimmon, Richard Meyer, Helen Molesworth, Peggy Phelan, Nelly Richard, Valerie Smith, Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Jenni Sorkin Artists include: Marina Abramović, Chantal Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Dara Birnbaum, Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Lygia Clark, Jay DeFeo, Mary Beth Edelson, Valie Export, Barbara Hammer, Susan Hiller, Joan Jonas, Mary Kelly, Maria Lassnig, Linda Montano, Alice Neel, Senga Nengudi, Lorraine O'Grady, Pauline Oliveros, Yoko Ono, Orlan, Howardena Pindell, Yvonne Rainer, Faith Ringgold, Ketty La Rocca, Ulrike Rosenbach, Martha Rosler, Betye Saar, Miriam Schapiro, Carolee Schneemann, Cindy Sherman, Hannah Wilke

When The Body as Language ("Body-art" and Performance) appeared in 1974, it was immediately a huge publishing hit, reviewed by some of the most influential art historians and writers (Giulio C. Argan, Edoardo Sanguineti, Max Kozloff, Lucy Lippard, François Pluchart, Peter Gorsen, Evelyn Weiss and many others). A direct testimony of the birth and development of one of the most controversial art trends, Lea Vergine's book avails of a series of texts by the artists themselves, whom the author had asked to contribute with a statement about the illustrations of their work. Featuring a thorough documentation of original photographs and film photograms, videotapes, happenings, actions and performances, the book analyses the evolution of this phenomenon through the works of sixty artists, including Gina Pane, Gilbert & George, Urs Lüthi and Katharina Sieverding, Rebecca Horn, Trisha Brown, Günter Brus and many others who have worked with and on the body. In an absolutely unusual publishing event, nearly thirty years after the first edition, the text--by now a classic--is republished with all the original photographic material. The volume is enhanced and brought up-to-date by an afterword by Lea Vergine, who observes the changes of Body Art throughout the nineties: Orlan, Stelarc, Ron Athey, Franko B., Yasumasa Morimura, Jana Sterbak, Matthew Barney are "virtuosos of disorder and hungry for afflictions of any and every kind, mystics--like persons who display the subjection of their bodies to cruel and invasive devices, or who revel in virtual fantasies of such self-inflicted pains--destroy themselves in order newly to find themselves. . . . They finally pay a visit to the world of the saints and victims, exploring and prolonging its seductions.

"Self/Image explores the ways in which contemporary artists have deployed new technologies of representation, from analogue photography to more recent artistic practices including digital imaging, performance, robotics, film and video installations, to explore and articulate shifting modes of subjectivity. This book is one of the first full-length studies to investigate the complex intersubjective relations among these diverse artistic practices." "Including over 100 illustrations from mainstream film to independent film, video art, performance and the visual arts, this important and original book provides an excellent companion to more general studies of contemporary art history, and media and cultural studies in the post-1960 period."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

In this lively and engaging book, Lisa Gail Collins examines the work of contemporary African American women artists. Her study comes at a time when an unprecedented number of these artists-photographers, filmmakers, painters, installation and mixed-media artists-have garnered the attention and imagination of the art-viewing public. To better understand the significance of this particular historical moment in American visual arts, Collins focuses on four "problems" that recur when these artists confront their histories: the documentation of truth; the status of the black female body; the relationship between art and cultural contact and change; and the relationship between art and black girlhood. By examining the social and cultural histories which African American women artists engage, Collins illuminates a dialogue between past and present imagemakers. The Art of History is a major contribution to the study of American visual culture. It will be of use to both scholars and students in art history, African American studies, American studies, and women's studies.

Une sélection d'autoportraits féminins empruntés à toute l'histoire de l'art, de la religieuse anonyme qui glissa son effigie dans la lettrine d'un manuscrit du XIIe siècle à Cindy Sherman et ses photogrammes révélateurs des visions stéréotypées de la femme, en passant par Sofonisba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi, Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, Frida Kahlo, Hannah Wilke, etc.

An examination of the social and cultural significance of body art by a major new voice. The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in body art, in which the artist's body is integral to the work of art. With the revoking of NEA funding for such artists as Karen Finley, Tim Miller, and others, public awareness and media coverage of body-oriented performances have increased. Yet the roots of body art extend to the 1960s and before. In this definitive book, Amelia Jones explores body art projects from the 1960s and 1970s and relates their impact to the work of body artists active today, providing a new conceptual framework for defining postmodernism in the visual arts. Jones begins with a discussion of the shifting intellectual terrain of the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on the work of Ana Mendieta. Moving to an examination of the reception of Jackson Pollock's "performative" acts of painting, she argues that Pollock is a pivotal figure between modernism and postmodernism. The book continues with explorations of Vito Acconci and Hannah Wilke, whose practices exemplify a new kind of performance that arose in the late 1960s, one that represents a dramatic shift in the conception of the artistic subject. Jones then surveys the work of a younger generation of artists -- including Laurie Anderson, Orlan, Maureen Connor, Lyle Ashton Harris, Laura Aguilar, and Bob Flanagan -- whose recent work integrates technology and issues of identity to continue to expand the critique begun in earlier body art projects. Embracing an exhilarating mix of methodologies and perspectives (including feminism, queer theory, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and literary theory), this rigorous and elegantexamination of body art provides rich historical insight and essential context that rethinks the parameters of postmodern culture.

In Generations and Geographies, the challenge of contemporary feminist theory encounters the provocation of the visual arts made by women in the twentieth century. The major issue is difference: sexual, cultural and social. Generations points to the singularity of each artist's creative negotiation of time and historical and political circumstance; Geographies calls attention to the significance of place, location and cultural diversity, connecting issues of sexuality to those of nationality, imperialism, migration, diaspora and genocide.Generations and Geographies is framed by theoretical debates in cultural analysis by Griselda Pollock, Mieke Bal, Elisabeth Bronfen and Irit Rogoff, and two historical analyses of representations of the female nude by Rosemary Betterton and Nanette Salomon. Essays on international contemporary art discuss artistic practice by women working in both western and non-western contexts, focusing on themes of the mother, the body, the land and history/memory. The artists discussed include the French performance artist Orlan, the Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta and Jenny Saville from Britain, the Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuna, Shimada Yoshiko from Japan, the Korean artist Re-Hyun Park and the Korean/Canadian artist Jin-me Yoon, Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger from Israel and the American artist Cindy Sherman. British/Zanzibari artist Lubaina Himid provides specially commissioned artists' pages on the theme of history, location and displacement.
