THE SHAPE OF EVIDENCEContemporary Art and the Document Sophie Berrebi

The Shape of Evidence examines the role and use of visual documents in contemporary art, looking at artworks in which the document is valued not only as a source of information but also as a distinctive visual and critical form. It contends that for artists who use film, photography or written sources, adopting formats derived from specific professional, industrial, scientific of or commercial contexts, the document offers a way to develop a critical reflection around issues of representation, knowledge production, art and its history.

It addresses several issues that are key both in art and in general culture today: the role of the museum and the archive, the role of documents and the trust that is placed in them, the circulation of such images and the historical genealogies that can be drawn in relation to

Sophie Berrebi (1973) is a writer and art historian, born in Paris and living in Amsterdam. Her writing has appeared in frieze, Afterall, Metropolis M, and Art and Research, among other publications. She received her PhD from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London and has been based at the University of Amsterdam since 2003 where she teaches art history and theory, mainly in the areas of photography and contemporary art.

The new series vis-à-vis was set up to provide a solid but accessible platform to ‘studious’ subjects in the young visual arts, architecture and design. The authors relate to history and art his-tory, to other authors, to recent events and to the reader. Most of them are academic researchers. What binds them is a powerful, visual way of think-ing, an undaunted treatment of the subject matter, a fearless attitude to the mores of the academic world, and a skilful, creative style of writing.This series seeks to provide access to stimulating and relevant subjects and research that usually remain hidden to the non-academic world.

De nieuwe serie vis-à-vis is bedoeld om ‘studieuze’ onderwerpen in de jonge beeldende kunst, architectuur of design op een degelijke, maar ook toegankelijke manier een podium te bieden. De auteurs verhouden zich tot de (kunst-)geschiedenis, tot andere auteurs, tot de actualiteit, tot de lezer. De auteurs zijn veelal academische onderzoekers. Wat hen bindt, is een grote beeldende denkkracht, een onverschrokken omgang met het onderwerp en met de mores van de onderzoekswereld, en een vaardige, creatieve pen.De reeks wil prikkelende en relevante onderwerpen en onderzoek, die normaliter voor de niet-academische wereld verborgen blijven, op een toegankelijke manier beschikbaar maken.

images. It is based on a close reading of a select number of works of art (e.g. Christopher Williams, Fiona Tan, Jean-Luc Moulène), which makes it approachable and engaging with the reader. The book investigates objects and ideas drawn from a wide spectrum of areas including literature, history, photography history, scientific represen-tation, surrealism, conceptual art, commercial photography etc.

Ultimately the book invites viewers to reflect upon the production and interpretation of seemingly straightforward images, and proposes that some artists can show us through their prac-tice how to turn these deceptively simple images inside out.

THE PERFECT SPECTATORThe Experience of the Art Workand Reception Aesthetics Janneke Wesseling

What happens between a spectator and an art work? How do we experience ‘meaning’ in an art work? How can the process of interpretation be understood and articulated?

To address these questions, the author explores the field of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contem-plation of art is a matter of interaction between the art work and the observer. The research is focused on unravelling and prob-lematising the theoretical terminology of the interaction between art work and spectator, deriving from reception aesthetics as well as from hermeneutics and phenomenology, with the aim of build-ing a new theoretical foundation for this terminology. Additionally, different concepts of spectatorship are extensively discussed.‘I believe it is more productive to research how the art work works or signifies than what it shows or might signify. This ‘how’ reveals itself mainly in the performative act of experiencing the work.’

This book addresses scholars and students in the fields of art history, aesthetics and visual and cultural studies, as well as artists and art students, and all those art spectators who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of art.

DE VOLMAAKTE BESCHOUWER

De sleutelvraag van dit boek is: hoe werkt het kunstwerk? Het betoog bevindt zich op een snijvlak van receptie-esthetica, kunstbeschou-wing en kunstkritiek en wordt ondersteund door veel voorbeelden uit de kunstgeschiedenis en uit de hedendaagse kunst. Het richt zich op een breed geïnteresseerd publiek dat zich nader wil verdiepen in de werking van het kunstwerk, maar het is ook bedoeld voor kunste-naars, critici, andere kunstprofessionals en studenten in kunst, filoso-fie en geschiedenis. Het wil een handreiking bieden voor het kijken naar kunst, met het doel de ervaring van kunstwerken te verdiepen. (Ned e-book)

GRAND DOMESTIC REVOLUTION HANDBOOK Binna Choi, Maiko Tanaka (eds.)

The Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook is a compendium of living research developed by artists, designers, theorists, neighbors, and activists who investigate and expand the status of the home outside the narrow lens of private concerns, but in consideration of the great potential in supporting a privateness that revitalizes and allows for other forms of sociality. It offers numerous entries that include case studies, project documentation, ephemera, analysis, and theory in the form of artistic, collective, and spatial design operations. This collection of texts and images is thereby unusual, complex, and fascinating, yet as constructive as any home interior catalog. The book provides tools for building a domestic commons where private and public merge and are thereby redefined. GDR is informed by neo-Marxist, post-structuralist, and late nineteenth-century material feminist views on domestic labor, issues, actions, and research. Inhabiting the structure of a 1960s home economics design manual, the book investigates existing domestic regimes and divides materials into the following key categories: Home Apparatus, Accommodations, Work at Home, Properties and Oikos,

and Neighboring (Organizing). Many projects are woven through-out these chapters. They constitute a diverse and sometimes conflicting tapestry of domestic tactics, apparatuses of disruption, and political entanglements to spark your imagination and catalyze your own GDR practices.

Whether you are a flexible worker, domestic worker, house husband, elderly caregiver, mother, activist, or student intern, this book aims to provide an evocative — if not useful — resource for an artistic, political, social, or personal “revolution” from the very place where you eat, sleep, and work. It brings together relations and tools being forged between the private and public spheres, and across multiple fields, in the interest of (in)forming society from the very inner but common sphere of the domestic realm.The Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook evolves from the Grand Domestic Revolution (GDR) project at Casco—Office for Art, Design and Theory in Utrecht. The content was explored during a two-year-long research residency at Casco, aspects of which are presented here through interviews, essays, personal accounts, diagrams, and more.

FUTURE PUBLICS (THE REST CAN AND SHOULD BE DONE BY THE PEOPLE)A Critical Reader in Contemporary Art Maria Hlavajova, Ranjit Hoskote (eds.)

Future Publics includes contributions by artists, theorists, and activists who reflect on the emergence of radically new publics, whose origins in moments of social crisis and political uncertainty inspire them to question existing forms of collective organization, decision-making structures, and protocols for the construction of social value and cultural meaning. These future publics recognize that the institutions of political and cultural life cannot continue as usual, following the collapse of late capital’s certitudes.

Utopian yet pragmatic, insurgent yet self-critical, these publics resist being normalized into the official, conscriptive definitions of citizenship and instead contribute actively to the formation of new solidarities, cutting across conventional lines of class, region, ethnicity, and ideological affiliation. In the cultural field, future publics demonstrate a capacity for engagement that exceeds the passive observation of the ‘viewer’ or ‘consumer’. While developing a genealogy for future publics, the contributors to this volume also assemble a vocabulary that points towards artistic practices and emergent groups staged outside the rigid institutions of public culture: they address, among other phenomena, rebel citizenry, cultural users, stateless states, and devolutionary platforms. The reader explores how the imaginative and intellectual labor of such formations has proposed new speculative forms of belonging and collaboration beyond the ones envisaged within the paradigm of ‘contemporary art’.

WE ROMAA Critical Reader in Contemporary Art Daniel Baker, Maria Hlavajova (eds.)

We Roma inquires into the contemporary moment through the proposition of the ‘Roma model’ of existence as it resonates within artistic practice and civic imagination. By reversing outsider status, can we, with the claim that we are all Roma, invoke alternative futures? Artists, theorists, and activists of both Roma and non-Roma origin speculate upon the possibilities throughout this selection of new and anthologized texts.

ALTERNATIVE MAINSTREAMMaking Choices in Pop Music Gert Keunen

Which mechanisms and logics of decision making and choice lie at the basis of the selections made by people working in the pop music circuit? Which general frames of thinking and evaluating do pop music professionals apply? Almost as a rule, these people will talk about the same bands, those that make the crossover to the outside world – the ‘hypes’. What are the origins of these hypes? How is it possible that everybody talks about the same bands? What makes people talk about some, yet the same bands, while remaining silent about other bands? And why is it that only a small percentage of the legion of bands that stand at the gates get ample airplay, concerts, press coverage and, as a result, a sufficiently large audience?

Alternative Mainstream deals with the music segment that lies between the ‘mainstream’ and the ‘underground’. This segment includes genres that range from hip hop to rock and from folk to electronic music. Gert Keunen attempts to uncover which aesthetics and ideologies lie at the basis of the cultural construct that is the alternative mainstream and embeds his findings in a broader socio-economic context.

Gert Keunen is a teacher, publicist and musician. He has a PhD in Sociology and teaches music history and music industry in Tilburg, Hasselt, Brussels and Ghent.

MOVING TOGETHER Making and Theorizing Contemporary Dance Rudi Laermans (ed.)

Moving Together by Rudi Laermans examines contemporary dance from both a practical and a theoretical perspective, with interactions between the two. The author analyses three important tendencies in contemporary dance: pure dance, dance theatre, and (self-)reflexive dance. He proposes a (theoretical) conceptual framework and through extensive dialogues with choreographers he investigates how artistic cooperation results in dance.

ANTENNAE SERIES

Antennae are feelers for the reception or transmission of signals. This series is intended to pinpoint certain phenomena or new lines of thought in the arts and to explore them by means of essays. Antennae brings together these thematic lines and wants to offer points of reference for further discussion or follow-up research.

Rudi Laermans is Professor of Social Theory at the KULeuven (B) and writes regularly about dance and visual art.

AESTHETIC JUSTICEIntersecting Artistic and Moral Perspectives

Niels Van Tomme, Pascal Gielen (eds.)

In this publication, sociologist Pascal Gielen and curator Niels Van Tomme invite a variety of artists and critical thinkers to reflect on new futures for the notion and practice of justice. Launching the proposition of ‘aesthetic justice’, the book offers thought-provoking views on the ways in which works of art may confront, and potentially redirect social and political imaginaries. Using analyses of contemporary art works that challenge the social, political or economic status quo, as well as interviews with artists and theoretical reflections, the book suggests alternatives for a more just future. It does so by considering the liberat-ing potential of specific aesthetic frameworks used in a wide variety of artistic contexts, ranging from the visual arts to cinema, from music to theatre, and by exploring novel modes that can shape the emotionally charged concept of justice, and eventually transform it.

Pascal Gielen teaches sociology of art and cultural politics at Groningen University. He is also director of the research group Arts in Society at Fontys School of Fine Arts and Performing Arts (Tilburg). Gielen has written several books on contemporary art, cultural heritage, and cultural politics.

COMMON SKIN E-BOOK

Together with Meeus Ontwerpt, PUNTPIXEL and Miriam Rasch (Institute of Network Cultures), Valiz has created its first e-book, specifically designed as such. In this digital edition of Common Skin, philosopher Liesbeth Levy and art critic Daphne Pappers disclose the work of the artist Myriam Mihindou (Gabon/France, 1964) and the power of dialogue. It includes an artist’s section in which Myriam Mihindou reveals the relationship between sketches, notes and key works. With a searchable database and no compromises made when it comes to images and design, this first Valiz e-book goes beyond the standard of most e-books today. The book will be available through the main digital bookstores and via our website.

WHISPERS: ULAY ON ULAY Maria Rus Bojan, Alessandro Cassin (authors)

Ulay (1943) has been a pioneer of Polaroid photography and one of the central figures of performance art since the 1970s. A singular presence among the artists of his generation, his radically innovative work, partly known for his twelve-year partnership with Marina Abramović, has received critical acclaim worldwide. This generous volume Whispers reveals an extremely innovative oeuvre, coherently rooted in a personal life philosophy guided by strong ethical principles.

DE UITVINDING VAN LEESZAAL ROTTERDAM WESTCollectieve tactieken en culturele uitwisselingen Maurice Specht, Joke van der Zwaard

Na de sluiting van de bibliotheek in de Rotterdamse wijk Het Oude Westen richtten actieve wijkbewoners Leeszaal Rotterdam West op, dat in korte tijd opgroeide tot een bloeiende ontmoetingsplek.

De uitvinding van Leeszaal Rot-terdam West begon met twee vragen aan de bewo-ners: hoe ziet jouw ideale Leeszaal er uit, en wat zou je er zelf aan kunnen bijdragen? Kort daarna werd er een pand ingericht en ontstond een mooie publieke ontmoetingsplek rond taal, literatuur, verbeelding en participatie die volledig draait op een bont gezelschap van vrijwilligers. Hoe verliep dat proces en wat is het resultaat?

Maurice Specht is filosoof en publiceerde eerder over zelforganisaties in de stad.

Joke van der Zwaard is ontwikkelingspsycholoog en publiceerde over rondkomen, vooruitko-men en samenleven in stadswijken.

Supported by Stichting Doen, Stichting Solidaridam Stichting Atelier Rochussen192 pp., paperback, 23 × 17 cm (h × w)text in Dutch, November 2014Design: Karin ter Laak NUR 758, ISBN 978-90-78088-96-7, € 22,50

After budget cuts forced the public library of the Het Oude Westen area in Rotterdam to close, members of the community took matters into their own hands and founded the Leeszaal Rotterdam. This public, community-controlled library is often used as an example of a successful bottom-up initiative. In this publication the Leeszaal is used as case study to learn about creating your own city in a critical, reflexive way.

Leeszaal Rotterdam West wordt vaak gebruikt als voorbeeld van hoe zo’n ontwikkeling niet moet (amateurisme door bezuinigingen) en hoe het wel moet (bewonersinitiatief). In dit boek wordt de Leeszaal van binnenuit belicht en bespreken de initiatiefnemers aan de hand van hun praktijkregis-traties en theoretische inspiratiebronnen de Leeszaal als zelforganisatie, als publiek domein, als leer- en werkplek en als cultuurbazaar.

Dit is geen handboek met richtlijnen en waar-schuwingen, maar een kritisch en praktisch ideeën-boek over mogelijkheden en ingewikkeldheden om met anderen je eigen stad te maken. Voor doe-het-zelvers, professionals en ambtenaren, en interessant voor alle anderen die over stedelijke ontwikkeling van onderop en de inrichting van maatschappelijke en culturele ontmoetingsplaatsen nadenken.
