AICA Censorship Committee: Shahidul Alam Detained - Call for his release

article from https://princeclausfund.org

Dear friends,

Our long-time partner, advisor and friend Shahidul Alam was arrested in Bangladesh earlier this week and is still in custody.

Shahidul has never shied away from what is right. His dedication to his community, to the youth of Bangladesh, to the art of photography, and to journalistic principles has not wavered, in spite of great risk to himself.

This is not the first time he has been in danger, but the severity of the current situation compels us to request your help. Please consider sharing on social media, signing a petition or contacting the Bangladesh High Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

We are proud to have partnered with Shahidul since 2002. His knowledge, insights, and warmth have guided our work and remain an inspiration to us. Shahidul embodies what we as an organisation stand for. Please find our statement below, signed together with his fellow Network Partners.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about his work and support him.

Kindly yours,

Joumana El Zein Khoury, Director Prince Claus Fund

DR. SHAHIDUL ALAM DETAINED - APPEAL FOR HIS RELEASE

#FreeShahidulAlam

Dr. Shahidul Alam, internationally renowned photographer, activist, founder and Managing Director of the Bangladesh multimedia company, Drik, founder of Chobi Mela International Photography Festival and Pathshala South Asian Media Institute, was forcibly abducted from his home on the night of 5 August.

The next day he appeared in court, apparently so badly beaten that he was unable to walk on his own. Sources say Shahidul is being charged under Bangladesh’s ICT law for his reports on Facebook of ongoing student protests and for an interview he gave to Al Jazeera about the protests.

Shahidul has been a close friend and inspiring partner of the Prince Claus Fund for many years. He is a tireless advocate of values that we share:  that all people should have the right to freedom of cultural expression. Through his reporting and photography he has discovered and shared hidden human stories not only in Bangladesh but of the many other cultures encountered on his travels. 

The Prince Claus Fund and its Network Partners deplore the extreme violence and intimidation exercised in Shahidul’s arrest

We call for his immediate and unconditional release. 
On behalf of the Prince Claus Fund, Joumana El Zein Khoury, Director

AICA Spain: International Congress "Art Criticism: crises and renewal"

A Congress on Art Criticism in Madrid

The Spanish Association of Art Critics – AICA Spain, in collaboration with the Museu Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, held from 21-23 June , an International Congress “Art Criticism: crises and renewal”, under the direction of Tomás Paredes, President of AECA.

Delegates were art critics, cultural managers, collectors and professors from several universities and included  Juan Manuel Bonet, Director of the Instituto Cervantes; Pablo Jiménez, cultural Director of La Fundación Mpfre; Javier Martin, José María Juarranz , who presented a new interpretation of “El Guernica”; Maria João Fernandes, Pilar Aumente, Maite Méndez Baiges, Blanca Garcia Vega, Brane Kovic, Carlos Pérez Reyes, Manuel Parralo, Antonio Domínguez Rey, Miguel Ángel Chávez Martín, Julia Sáez-Angulo.  30 papers were presented by professors and critics from Spain, Colombia, Brazil, Italy Portugal, Japan and UAE and United Kingdom.
Congress sessions took place at the Sabatini Auditorium in the Reina Sofia Museum which was represented by the Deputy Director Joao Fernandes. There were also three round tables focused on the influence of criticism on the formation of  public and private collections and on the perpetual necessity of the renewal of art criticism.

Closing ceremony | From left to right: Blanca Garcia Vega, Julia Sáez-Angulo, Tomás Paredes and Brane Kovic.

Among the conclusions were the place of criticism in the context of crisis and  social and globalized turmoil, the necessity of permanent renewal and of the defence of the art critic as a mediator between the public and the artist’s work of art. The critic must demand continuous validation in order to compete in new processes of creative reflection and to participate in the new cultural ecology.  And a maxim: the only way for art criticism to have a future is to strengthen its present thinking.

The programme also had visits to the exhibitions of the Reina Sofia and to adjacent art galleries. The Congress closed with a performance “The word, the music and the voice”, in which Tomás Paredes, Romeral, the concretist flamenco guitar player Paulo Garcia Palomo  and the singer Eloy Cortés took the floor, highlighting that art is ennobled by the interaction of different modes of expression.

AICA Brazil/ ABCA: ARTE CONCRETA E VERTENTES CONSTRUTIVAS

An International Seminar in Brazil

From 26-30 June 2018, the Brazilian Association of Art Critics, ABCA, the Brazilian chapter of AICA, held an international seminar: Concrete Art and Constructive Dimensions: Theory, Criticism and History of Art and Technique, in partnership with the Conservation Science Laboratory of the Fine Arts School of the University of Minas Gerais – LACICOR.
This  event aimed to discuss and to bring international recognition to the many singular approaches and possibilities in artistic production in Latin America in the context of modern art in the 20th Century.

We began from the belief that by articulating these histories in one single event we can form a transdisciplinary view that enriches and problematizes  our approach.

The Seminar had the support of the Federal  University Of Minas Gerais, CAPES and the Getty Foundation and gathered researchers from different  regions of Brazil, Argentina, Chile and United States. The coordinators of the event were Luiz A. C. Souza, Yacy-Ara Froner e Alessandra Rosado from LACICOR and Maria Amelia Bulhões, Marilia Andrés Ribeiro and Claudia Fazzolari from ABCA.

Those present included the International President of AICA, Lisbeth Rebollo Gonçalves, Jeanne-Marie Teutonico, Associate Director of the Getty Conservation Institute –GCI, Andrew Perchuk, Deputy Director of the Getty Research Institute – GRI, Cory Rogge from the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Aleca Le Blanc, from the University of California Riverside, Ana Morales and Fernando Marte, both from the National University of San Martin, Argentina, as well as such  important Brazilian researchers as Aracy Amaral, Anna Maria Belluzzo, Luiz Camilo Osório, Maria Lucia Kern, Marilia Andrés Ribeiro, Tadeu Chiarelli, Yacy-Ara Froner, Luiz Souza, among others.

The conference was opened by Mari Carmen Ramirez, curator of Latin American Art and Director of the International Center for the Arts of Americas, at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. The texts of the conferences and papers are available on ABCA website (abca.art.br/httpdoc/ebooks-abca), as an e-book published by ABCA, registered with the National System of Libraries.

Throughout five intense and productive days, it was possible to confirm our initial conviction about the importance of these interlocutions, with all the participants expressing how enriching and high level the debate was, because of this more complex approach, in line with contemporary thinking.

The Brazilian chapter of AICA has assumed an important role in national academic debate, holding events which address relevant themes that attract the participation of highly regarded scholars in the visual arts in the country. The international coverage and plurality of approaches of this seminar has raised the bar of these activities.

aica press: Lee Yil's writing

Lee Yil's writing published in the AICA Series Art Critics of the World

After a particularly exacting work of translation into English, the compilation of texts by the Korean critic Lee Yil was published in March 2018 by les presses du réel, under the title Dynamics of Expansion and Reduction – Selected Writings on Korean Contemporary Art. On the initiative of Marjorie Allthorpe-Guyton and Paul O´Kane, a seminar was organized by AICA and SOAS in London, on March, 23rd, with the participation of Bada Song (translator together with Paul 0'Kane), Henry Meyric Hughes who edited the text in English, Jean-Marc Poinsot who coordinated the publication and Professor Youngsook Pak who contextualized Lee Yil’s texts in Korean modern art and criticism in the second part of the 20th Century.

This Seminar was followed by a reception kindly hosted by the Korean Cultural Centre in London which introduced the book to a wider audience.
On April 20, on the occasion of the festivities of AICA-France’s 2018 Art Criticism Award, whose jury included many members of the International AICA Board, there was a brief presentation of Lee Yil’s book by the Series Editor Jean- Marc Poinsot and by Franck Gautherot who contextualized the critic and the artists whom he defended in the turbulent post-war period.
Soo-Young Leam, a PhD student at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London and present at the seminar in March, is reviewing Lee Yil’s publication for the Critique d’Art magazine.

The Archives of Art Criticism: donation

Donation from the Canadian Cultural Centre of Paris to the Archives of Art Criticism

On May 18, to mark the inauguration of its new Exhibition Space on the 130, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, under the direction of the Canadian Embassy for Global Affairs, donated 25 years of its visual arts archive to the National Institute of Art History (INHA) to be part of the collections of the Archives of Art Criticism in Rennes. This was a unique donation, combining cultural diplomacy with a view of Canadian Contemporary Art.

The programme of exhibitions and artistic practice reflected by the archive, was pursued in partnership with French cultural institutions and with the history of art criticism in France.  The archive is a register of the period from 1993 to 2017. The archive also gathers documents regarding the history of the Centre since its foundation in 1970. Its methodological consistency, the diversity of its contents and its cultural sphere constitute an inestimable resource for national and international research. The exchange with artists, curators, critics, authors at the core of this collection preserves, not only a profile of institutional relationships, but of human connections which led to countless projects of great significance in France, under the direction of Catherine Bédard, Associate Director of the Canadian Cultural Centre and member of AICA France.

©INHA

The first part of the archives was donated last March and is already available for research in Rennes. The second will be at the Archives’ disposal in autumn 2018. The partnership anticipates that transfers will continue, preserving and enhancing the history and the activities of the Canadian Cultural Centre at its new venue in Paris.

The Archives of Art Criticism were greatly enriched by this donation, which will enhance and give new meaning to the individual art critics, galleries and institutional archives already present in the collections.

Congress theme for Call for Papers:
Art Criticism in the age of  Virtuality and Democracy
Based on observations of important tendencies in the actual world, we would like to address some key issues concerning the role of art criticism related to these new developments.

Firstly, the virtual is not the opposite of reality but rather an increasing part of our reality. Presently, communities, social relations, everyday life, the body, and even biological life are in the processes of mass virtualization. Life itself has been supposed as an algorithm, AI as a brain without body, while space-time’s relationship is virtualized in VR technology. A virtual enterprise need no longer convene its employees onsite, but rather can delegate work to be done remotely, thus re-articulating the time-space relationship of its workers.

Secondly, if we make an observation of a longer duration, there seems to be an unquestionable expansion of democracy which can be confirmed by the democratic transitions beginning in the mid-1970s, which span from Latin America to Taiwan and South Korea, through the end of the cold war, and to following transitions in Eastern Europe, the Color Revolution and the Umbrella Movement in Hong-Kong in the fall of 2014. Nevertheless in more recent years, the phenomenon of the retreat of democracy can also be observed in the uprising of the populism worldwide.

Moreover, these two tendencies may be related. The Congress Theme “Art Criticism in the age of Virtuality and Democracy” has two sub-themes:

1. Art criticism in the age of virtuality
2. Art discourse facing challenged democracy

1.“Art criticism in the age of virtuality” will address the situation in which the rapid pace of development in computer and media technologies is creating new working environments and new possibilities for art, each with their own particular problematics. How does this process affect the description, interpretation and evaluation of contemporary art? More precisely, does art criticism develop new methodology and new languages concerning its analysis and new problematics in its debates? What does it mean for art and art criticism that new media reaches crowds of new readers around the world, often “for free”?

2. “Art discourse facing challenged democracy” will discuss the following questions: how is art discourse constitutive of the collective representations and imaginary of democracy? In the situation of democracy under challenge, how are these social-political phenomena reflected in new developments of censorship and self-censorship, or post-truth? For new problems brought out by transitional justice, what kind of function can art discourse play?

Proposals of papers which could articulate the problems within these two sub-themes will also be welcome.

AICA Spain/ AECA: congress 2018 - Call for papers

Presentación

Criticar es formar juicio y opinión sobre una obra o un autor, sobre un hecho cierto. Dilucidar con fundamento. Examinar, analizar y concluir sin carentismo. Crítica de arte no es comparar, desechar o ensalzar sin más. Ni mencionar nuestro interés o desinterés sin su razonamiento consiguiente. Quien compara retrasa el juicio.

¿Está la crítica de arte en crisis? ¿Requiere renovación? ¿Qué fundamenta el juicio sobre una obra? ¿Cómo influye la crítica en el coleccionismo? ¿Qué es coleccionar? ¿Tiene límites el museo? ¿Es arte todo lo que exhibe un museo? ¿Es el mercado una suerte de crítica de arte? ¿Cómo afectan las nuevas tecnologías? ¿Es la crítica de arte un capricho de élites? ¿Cómo renovar la crítica de arte?

Este es el contenido que fundamenta y ordena este Congreso Internacional de AECA, en colaboración con el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. Un Congreso que busca cuestionar para esclarecer, dudar para distinguir, negar lo inerte y afirmar lo vivaz, huir de la retórica vana y someterse a la realidad de los hechos.

Crisis es corte, escasez, mutación que acaece en un proceso expresivo, también “juicio que se hace de una cosa después de haberla examinado cuidadosamente”. Renovación es “dar nueva energía a algo, transformarlo”.

Uno de nuestros clásicos modernos dice que hay infinitas formas de definir el arte, pero que ninguna de ellas debe carecer de estos dos elementos: emoción y misterio. En su tisana nº 121, afirma Ana Hatherly: “O misterio supremo é a claridade”.

Y eso pretendemos para este debate: claridad, precisión, concisión, juicio y libertad de expresión absoluta. Y respeto para quien no piensa como nosotros. Hic et Nunc, en el marco del arte coetáneo.

Cada sector de la Sociedad, en todas sus vertientes, debe estar constantemente poniendo a prueba sus fundamentos y resultados. Los críticos de arte no son una excepción. Nada ni nadie debe escapar de la crítica y, en consecuencia, ejercer la obligación de criticar. La crítica debe asumir sus luces y sus sombras y exigirse poner luz sobre esas zonas oscuras u opacas, porque la crítica no puede ser un trabalenguas, ni un laberinto fantasmagórico, tiene que entenderse, debe realizarse para ser entendida por el espectador.

Critic of Art: Crisis and Renewal

To criticize is to form a judgment and an opinion about an artistic work or an author, about a true fact. To interpret with foundation. To examine, analyze and conclude without sarcasm. Art criticism is not simply to compare, discard or praise. Not to mention our own interest or indifference without its consequent reasoning. Whoever compares delays the trial.

Is art criticism in crisis? Does it require renewal? What is the basis of the judgment on a work of art? How does art criticism influence collectors? What is collecting? Does a museum have limits? Is art everything exhibited in a museum? Is the market a kind of art criticism? How do new technologies affect art? Is art criticism a whim of elites? How to renew the art critic.

This is the basis and substance content of this AECA International Congress, in collaboration with the Reina Sofia Museum of Art. A Congress that seeks to question to clarify, to doubt to distinguish, to deny the lifeless and to affirm the lively, to flee from the vain rhetoric and to submit to the reality of the facts.

Crisis is a turning point, a shortage, a mutation that happens during an expressive process; it is also “a judgement about a thing after having examined it thoroughly”. Renewal is “to give something a new energy, to change it”.
One of our modern classics says that there are infinite ways of defining art, but that none of them should lack these two elements: emotion and mystery. In her tisane No. 121, affirms Ana Hatherly: “O misterio supremo  é a claridade”. (Supreme mystery is clarity)
And that is what we intend for this debate: clarity, precision, conciseness, judgment and absolute freedom of expression. And respect for those who do not think like us. Hic et Nunc, within the framework of the coetanean art.

Each sector of the Society, in all its aspects, must constantly be testing its foundations and results. Art critics are no exception. Nothing and no one should escape criticism and, consequently, exercise the obligation to criticize. The critics must assume their lights and shadows and demand to put light on those dark or opaque areas because the critic cannot be a tongue twister, nor a phantasmagoric labyrinth, it has to be understood, it must be done to be understood by the spectator.

The meeting will be held at The Brooklyn Rail headquarters and will coincide with a panel discussion featuring David Salle and Carroll Dunham.Our host and AICA-USA board member Phong Bui says, “Ever since Susan Harris was the guest critic for the Rail’s November 2016 issue, which featured a luminous selection of our writer colleagues who are AICA members and board members, we have kept the collaboration alive with many AICA writers contributing regularly to our Art Seen reviews, such as Barbara and Alfred MacAdam, Lilly Wei, EleanorHeartney, Amei Wallach, and Susan herself as an ongoing effort to keep the collaboration alive.

On the occasion of our forthcoming event featuring David Salle and Carroll Dunham on their respective publications, How to See and The Collected Writings of Carroll Dunham, I thought it would be a timely occasion to create a panel discussion coinciding with Industry City’s Open Studios, which invites the local artist community to participate.”

aica press: Book review, Lee Yil – Dynamics of Expansion and Reduction

Book review: Lee Yil – Dynamics of Expansion and Reduction

by PHILIP GOWMAN on 25 APRIL, 2018
in ART HISTORY | BOOK REVIEWS | BOOKS ON ART | EVENT REPORTS AND REVIEWS

Lee Yil: Dynamics of Expansion and Reduction
Selected Writings on Korean Contemporary Art, 1970 – 1996
Initial draft translations: Chung Yeon-shim, Park Eun-ah, Park Sung-ji
Final translations: Paul O’Kane, Song Bada
Published by AICA (International Association of Art Critics) /
Les Presses du Réel, Dijon, France, 2018, 212pp

How often do you read the learned essay that accompanies a new art exhibition and find yourself not understanding a word of it? For me, more often than I would like. I am never sure how to tell whether the essay is unclear because the writer is being deliberately obscure (to cover up the fact that he does not understand the artwork himself); or simply doesn’t know how to write clearly; or because I’m not clever enough to understand what he is saying. Then there are the instances where the essay seems to say absolutely nothing: a less than competent writer has been paid to fill a side of A4 and pens a few paragraphs of empty fluff.

If someone has decided to publish a collection of essays by a single critic, there must be a general consensus among the experts that he knows what he is talking about – he must be a significant figure in the art-historical world, and worth taking seriously. And fortunately, this collection of essays and criticism by prominent Korean art critic Lee Yil (1932-1997), are, amazingly, clear and for the most part comprehensible – clear to the extent that even where you’re not sure what it is he is trying to say you think it’s your fault for not being familiar enough with the subject matter or with the concepts involved, rather than the writer’s fault for being deliberately obscure. You are left with the feeling that, if you come back to the essay again in the future, you will understand it better. And that it will be actually worth the effort to do so.

What is even more amazing is that all the essays and articles in this collection are translations from the original Korean. I cannot imagine what a difficult exercise that must have been (though the fact that the task required as many as five translators is indicative that the task was herculean). But Paul O’Kane and Bada Song, who were responsible for the final drafts, have produced results that read as if the articles were (a) originally written in English by (b) someone who is trying to communicate with a broader audience than just other art critics. That is quite an achievement.

Paul O’Kane talks at the launch of Lee Yil’s selected writings at the KCC, 23 March 2018. Jean-Marc Poinsot, series editor, looks on.

The book is a selection from a two-volume publication (in Korean) of all of Lee Yil’s writings. The selection is divided into two parts: a dozen or so essays on art-historical trends or trying to place in context the works in a particular group show; and over twenty, usually briefer, pieces focusing on the work of individual artists. In both cases it is fascinating to read, a few decades after the event, a contemporary take on trends in art history or on the importance of a particular artist.

Yes, there are articles I don’t understand too well. The 1970 article, Dynamics of Expansion and Reduction, that gave this collection its title is a case in point. There is a general consensus that post-war Korean art history included an “Art Informel” phase and a “Dansaekhwa” phase – in both of which Park Seo-bo was a leading light. But there were other things going on as well. Does it make sense to talk of a single “phase” in between those two major trends mentioned above ? Lee Yil’s solution is to posit a phase of “expansion and reduction” – which I’m not sure I fully understand – and which would be made clearer by the presence of images to illustrate key exemplars in this phase. But, to be honest, I think I might not understand Lee’s concept because maybe there wasn’t really a leading trend that held primacy in between informel and monochrome – and that seems to be what is suggested by a graphical timeline of Korean art history that I happened to photograph last year when I was browsing round SeMA (Seoul Museum of Art, near the Deoksugung).

Timeline of Korean art history in the 60s and 70s, on display at SeMA

It must have been tough to select which pieces to translate. One can choose to grumble about what the collection could have been: it would have been nice, as noted above, to have many more illustrations (which of course would have increased the cost and timeline); it would have been nice to have had the two essays Lee Yil wrote as introductions to the Korean entries to the Paris Biennale in 1963 and 65 – perhaps ruled out for being in French rather than Korean. And among the many artists featured in the book are some big names (Park Seo-bo, Kim Whan-ki, Yun Hyong-keun) and some lesser known ones. One big name is notable by his absence: one is dying to know whether Lee ever wrote about Nam June Paik, and if so what he had to say about him.

But these grumbles are more a compliment than criticism: I simply want more of it, and I would rather celebrate that the collection has happened at all. It would certainly be vain to hope for a follow-up book with the remaining essays. In the real world, this volume probably has a limited readership, no matter how much that readership might appreciate its value; and AICA must move on to the third volume in their Art Critics of the World series.

Finally, there is one feature of Lee Yil’s writing that is totally endearing and which makes you trust that he isn’t consciously trying to befuddle you when you don’t immediately grasp his argument: he is disarmingly open when he himself doesn’t understand a particular artist. “To be honest, Kim Ki-rin’s painting still remains a mystery to me,” he confesses (p 134)1; and “Lee Dong-youb’s painting is not easy to grasp.” (p169). If only all critics were that frank.

Highly recommended, as a supplement to general overviews of the period such as Charlotte Horlyck’s Korean Art from the 19th Century to the Present.

Colloque International PRISME 11-12 octobre 2018 – CALL FOR PAPERS

PAR ANTJE KRAMER-MALLORDY · PUBLIÉ 28/02/2018 · MIS À JOUR 28/02/2018

Reframing the (Art) World – Commitment, Challenges and Crises of International Art Criticism since 1945/

International Two-Day-Conference closing the multidisciplinary research programme PRISME (EA 1279 Université Rennes2/GIS-Archives de la critique d’art)

 October 11-12, 2018, Université Rennes 2, France

International critics and architects on their way to the First Extraordinary AICA-Congress in 1959, Brasília, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Fonds AICA International.

The international conference Reframing the (Art) World/Redéfinir le monde (de l’art) aims at concluding an intense three-year research carried out within the frame of the research programme PRISME, hosted at the Archives de la critique d’art (Archives of Art Criticism in Rennes).

By following a multidisciplinary approach, the aim of this conference is to reframe a still little-known chapter of cultural history, in order to reconsider art criticism as a historical and epistemological prism in regard to international issues since the second half of the XXth century.

Redéfinir le monde (de l’art) – Engagement, défis et crises de la critique d’art internationale depuis 1945

Colloque international de clôture du programme de recherche pluridisciplinaire PRISME (EA 1279 Université Rennes 2/GIS-Archives de la critique d’art)

11-12 octobre 2018, Université Rennes 2

Le colloque a pour objectif de clore trois années intenses de recherche collective, menée dans le cadre du programme PRISME qui envisage la critique d’art, au-delà du seul discours esthétique, comme un terrain dynamique des débats de la société qui lui est contemporaine.

Volontairement pluridisciplinaire, l’objectif  est d’établir un relevé précis d’un chapitre encore peu connu de l’histoire culturelle, afin de repenser la critique d’art, tel un prisme historique et épistémologique, à l’aune des enjeux internationaux depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.

Le Présent revisité

« Lorsque se prépare un numéro de Critique d’art, nous avons une idée encore assez floue de ce que nous allons retenir de l’actualité éditoriale, malgré nos anticipations et les suggestions formulées par les membres de nos comités. Ce à quoi nos lecteurs pourraient répondre que nous avons nos marottes. Une partie d’entre eux attendraient même que nous continuions à creuser les mêmes sillons. Ceci dit, nous essayons de garder la capacité de découverte ou de stimulation intellectuelle que suscite la présence des ouvrages arrivés en attente d’affectation à une rubrique ou à des rédacteurs.

The Present Revisited

“When we are preparing a new issue of Critique d’art, we still have only quite a vague idea about which recent publications we shall be discussing, despite our own predictions and despite suggestions made by the members of our committees. To which our readers might well reply that we have our pet obsessions. Some of them might even be expecting us to carry on working the same loam. This said, we do try to retain a capacity for discovery and intellectual stimulation arising from the presence of books and essays waiting to be earmarked under a certain heading and looked at by editors.

L’Atelier de l’histoire et de la critique
« Pour la critique en arts visuels, on a pu croire un moment que le paradigme de construction de la valeur que représentait le modèle historique avait été disqualifié sous les effets conjugués du postmodernisme et de la mondialisation. Or, tant la multiplicité des chantiers, dont les contributeurs de Critique d’art se font l’écho, que les objets qu’ils ont choisis pour cristalliser leur propos prouvent que cette histoire est redevenue le questionnement, l’outil, l’enjeu majeur de nombreux ouvrages sur l’art récent, mais aussi sur son passé un peu plus distant. Pour autant l’histoire en art, l’art dans l’histoire et l’histoire comme projet politique de l’œuvre sont loin de constituer une matière homogène. […] »

/

The History and Criticism Workshop
“For visual arts criticism, there was a moment when it was thinkable that the value construction paradigm represented by the historical model had been discredited by the combined effects of postmodernism and globalization. The fact is, however, that both the host of projects which are picked up by Critique d’art contributors, and the subjects they have chosen to crystallize their ideas, show that this history has once more become the questioning factor, tool and major challenge of many books about recent art, and its slightly more distant past. For all this, history in art, art in history and history as a political project of the work are far from forming any kind of homogeneous matter. […]”
