T. J. Clark, Those Passions On Art and Politics
This is a colossal book, testament to its author’s unique command of language, awe-inspiring erudition and analytical skills. It is also an unwieldy, somewhat incoherent, often inchoate (or overripe) book, testament to its author’s considerable ego, incalculable whims and ubiquitous self-consciousness. What’s more, it is very much a book of its time, gesturing at its own contemporaneity and the contemporaneity of its (largely historical) subjects…
Dominique Baqué, L’Art peut-il être politique
Twenty-one years after her Pour un nouvel art politique : de l’art contemporain au documentaire (Flammarion, 2004), Dominique Baqué has again published a plea for an art that is unmistakably political, infallibly engagé. Like in her previous work, Baqué in L’Art peut-il être politique ? advocates a rather broad notion of “contemporary art” that encompasses film, video, television alongside fine art modes of audiovisual practice. The decision to e…
Christina Landbrecht, Künstlerische Forshung: Potenziale, Probleme, Perspektiven
Participation
Aiming at rendering "somewhat irrelevant" the "question of sadism" in the critique of film's "seductive epistemological promise," Leo Bersani and Ulysse Dutoit argued for a "participation in the film" that is "at once self-reflexive and self-shattering." Such participation may bring about the very panhuman condition of "being-togetherness" that Bersani and Dutoit have registered in the ontology of Alain Resnais's and Terrence Malick's films. This…
Les Usages du paysage
Peu de concepts en histoire culturelle (et de l’art) possèdent autant de vies multiples et contradictoires que celui de « paysage ». En premier lieu, il est associé à des notions supposément peu controversées telles que le pittoresque ou le bucolique, la beauté arcadienne ou le frisson sublime. Dans le même temps, et néanmoins souvent dans d’autres espaces discursifs, le « paysage » est tenu pour être un thème critique (et critiqué), considéré pa…
The Uses of Landscape
There are only few concepts in cultural (and art) history that live multiple and contradictory lives comparable to that of “landscape.” For one, “landscape” is associated with allegedly uncontroversial notions such as the picturesque or the pastoral, of Arcadian beauty or sublime frisson; at the same time, though usually not in the same discursive spaces, “landscape” is held to be a critical (and criticized) term, intermittently considered obsole…
The Heresy of Didactic Art
In the special issue, we are interested in the multiple, and often strategic, connections between art and alternative, radical pedagogies. Of course, the confluence of art and radical pedagogy is nothing particularly new. The past twenty years, especially, have witnessed a resurgence of all manner of debates and initiatives that attend to the role that contemporary art plays or could play in the development of critical education and pedagogy. Bel…
Y entrer / S'en échapper, ou « ne pas être formé par l'université
Ces dernières années, le monde de l’art contemporain et les disciplines attenantes des pratiques curatoriales et culturelles (re)découvrirent leur amour de l’éducation et la pédagogie. Un véritable « tournant pédagogique » prit forme, en Europe mais pas uniquement, aux alentours de 2010. Depuis, sa présence constante est établie. Il fait l’objet de nombreux débats, entraînant dans son sillage une pléthore de pratiques, de sens et de symptômes var…
"Enter/Escape, or "Not Be University Educated
In recent years, the world of contemporary art and adjoining fields of cultural-curatorial practice (re)discovered their love for education and pedagogy. A veritable “educational turn” became palpable around 2010, not only in Europe. It has since been much discussed and established as a constant presence, entailing a plethora of different practices, meanings and symptoms. Most remarkably, it has become manifest in educational visual practices, ne…
What is Radical
What does it mean to think and act radically, and how does this relate to forms of radicalism connected to earlier moments, for example, in the 20th century? What can be the role of radical art and scholarship under the conditions of late capitalism? More generally, how can art and artists serve the ongoing struggle for social justice and the agendas of emancipatory social change? Finally, what kinds of art criticism and art historical scholarshi…
