| Title: #artselfie |
| By (author): DIS |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680070 : 9782365680073 |
| #artselfie opens with an incisive remark by Douglas Coupland, who warns us that â â Selfies are mirrors we can freeze. (. ) Selfies allow us to see how others look at themselves in a mirror making their modeling face when nobodyâ s around . except these days, everybodyâ s around everywhere all the time. â #artselfie emerged in 2012, right as the recent photographic phenomenon known as the selfie reached itâ s tipping point. It was subsequently activated by New York based collective DIS, as an aggregated mode of art-tourism and documentation. These selfies and their dialogue with art are an opportunity to revisit fundamental questions such as: if art is a mirror, what happens when we place ourselves between it and the camera? The traditional trajectory from photographer to subject via the camera has been subverted, and with it, the nature of images and our perception of them. The #artselfie makes every participant both protagonist and collaborator, consumer and producer. Including an introduction by Douglas Coupland (author of Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture and ruthless observer of contemporary society) and a discussion between Simon Castets (director of the Swiss Institute in New York and co-founder of the 89+ project) and DIS, #artselfie allows us to experience how significant â and seductive â this viral phenomenon is. |

| Title: A Song of Flowers / Le Chant des Fleurs |
| By (author): Mardonio Carballo |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680844 : 9782365680844 |
| An ode to nature, poetry and design. In a vertigo between an art book and a book of discovery, this work is a voyage into the poetic land of Nahuatl, an exploration of the literature of the Song of Flowers. It is complemented by an essay by Alberto Manguel on song and flowers in world literature. Accessible and demanding, the book is made-to-measure with natural, low-resource-consumption fibers derived from wine-growing. In Nahuatl, a language spoken in central Mexico since the 7th century, poetry is designated by a pair of metaphors, Ni Xochitl Ni Kuikatl, â flower, songâ . This term describes the poetry as â an ephemeral moment of beauty and truth, symbolized by the flower and the song. It is an elevation, an outpouring that is expressed. The flower reaches for the sky and the song soars into the air.â At the heart of this still too little-known literary continent, poetry is not that activity of writing. It unfolds above all through song, and is intimately linked to the surrounding vegetation and flowers. Words and their associations are to be imagined as the poem as a bouquet of words to be sung to the sky. |

| Title: a, A Novel |
| By (author): Derek Beaulieu |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680194 : 9782365680196 |
| Derek Beaulieuâ s a, A Novel is an erasure-based translative response to Andy Warholâ s eponymous novel. Beaulieu carefully erases all of the text on each page of the original work, leaving only the punctuation marks, typistsâ insertions and onomatopoeic words. The resultant text is a novelistic ballet mécanique, a visual orchestration of the traffic signals and street noise of 1960â s New York City. This visually powerful half score/half novel highlights the musicality of non-narrative sounds embedded within conversation. Published in the autumn of 1968, Andy Warholâ s a, A Novel consists solely of the transcribed conversations of Factory denizen Ondine (Robert Olivo). Ondineâ s amphetamine-addled conversations were captured on audiotape as he haunted the Factory, hailed cabs to late-night parties and traded gossip with Warhol and his coterie. The tapes were transcribed by a small group of high school students. Rife with typographic errors, censored sections, and a chorus of voices, the 451 pages of transcription became, unedited, â a new kind of pop artefactâ . These pages emphasize transcription over narration, chance over composition. In his book, Derek Beaulieu offers a radical displacement of Andy Warholâ s work. He erases the novelâ s speaking characters â members of the mid-1960s New York avant-garde â and preserves only the musicality of their conversations. Beaulieu perfectly provides a tangible example of Theodor Adornoâ s theory elaborated in his essay â Punctuation Marksâ (1956), in which he argues that punctuation marks are the â traffic signalsâ of literature and that there is â no element in which language resembles music more than in the punctuation marksâ . This visual poetry is accompanied by an essay by Gilda Williams, â Breaking Up is Hard to Do. Men, Women, and Punctuation in Warholâ s Novel aâ . Her deep knowledge of both Andy Warholâ s work and the history of contemporary art explores the complicated history of the original novel and highlights the urgent and precise spirit of Derek Beaulieuâ s workâ the work of an artist who situates Uncreative Writing at the core of contemporary literature and also shows in his book a feminist gesture. |

| Title: Against Translation |
| Sub-title: Displacement is the New Translation |
| By (author): Kenneth Goldsmith |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680127 : 9782365680127 |
| Against Translation is a text by American poet Kenneth Goldsmith (born 1961) published in eight volumes--English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic. The author discusses the impasses and shortcomings of translation and the virtues of an unapologetic linguistic â displacement. â â Translation is the ultimate humanist gesture,â he states. â Polite and reasonable, it is an overly cautious bridge builder . in the end, it always fails, for the discourse it sets forth is inevitably off-register. â Displacement, by contrast, never explains itself. |

| Title: All Wet |
| By (author): Marilyn Minter Text by: Jennifer Higgie Interviewer: Anya Harrison |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680429 : 9782365680424 |
| American artist Marilyn Minter (born 1948) has long cultivated a space between the classical and the commercial for her photorealistic paintings and visceral photographs. Minterâ s art is characterized by an emphasis on natural textures in all of their extremesâ whether that of the turquoise eyeshadow on a young womanâ s face or the glittery grit on the underside of a high-heeled shoe. This monograph dedicated to her recent works reveals her 2009 film Green Pink Caviar and a dozen monumental paintings as well as the processes behind such works. In her most recent series Bathers, Minter is inspired by classical representations of the female bather as an artistic subject from ancient Greece to early Impressionism. She offers a contemporary version of this figure: her female subjects relax and wash themselves in modern showers, their faces and bodies partially obscured by a film of condensation on the glass separating them from the viewer. In some images the women appear as a mere blur behind the glass; in others, the rivulets of water that course down the glass plane reveal enough to identify a face or body part. The effect is a sensuousness that defies the male voyeuristic gaze seen throughout art history. |

| Title: Are you Here? |
| By (author): Hans Obrist |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680143 : 9782365680141 |
| Hans Ulrich Obrist is a marathon runner of daily discussions, conversations and exchanges with artists, architects, scientists, thinkers and writers. The elements of language that he accumulates offers a generic lexicon in which he draws alternately words or expressions that are as many vocal punctuations as exclamations of style. Are you here? compiles for the first time the stamp drawings that Hans Ulrich Obrist has composed for years, sometimes organized in clusters or lists, to flirt with concrete poetry. Sometimes rendered illegible, these leitmotivs come to black almost the whole of the page as a result of performances close to trances. This practice, which can be likened to stereotypy, is an outlet for the author, in which he uses, in the manner of a shaman, the elements of language that are his own. Are you here? is introduced by Etel Adnan, poet and artist, who gives us keys to reading this parallel and yet central practice in the construction of one of the most important curators of our time. |

| Title: As Deep as I Could Remember, As Far as I Could See |
| By (author): Tarik Kiswanson |
| ISBN10-13: 2365680259 : 9782365680257 |
| This first book by Tarik Kiswanson brings together two poems, two polyphonic stories that explore the notions of desire, plural identities, boundaries and miscegenation that are at the center of the artist's work. The first, composed as an interview between the artist and his alter ego, a pre-adolescent boy who gives his name to the poem, Vadim . This exchange is then split, multiplied and hybridized in As Deep as I Could Remember, As Far as I Could See . The accumulation of experiences and voices reflects a human condition in perpetual motion and offers an unprecedented weaving of a universal history and the construction of our individuality. The poems are followed by an essay by Jesi Khadivi, curator and critic, which illuminates the conceptual strategies and the fabric of texts and sculptures that are the basis of the artist's practice. |
