Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev Livres

German artist, filmmaker and theorist Hito Steyerl (born 1966) has emerged as one of the most influential cultural figures of our time. She has published extensively, with essays such as “In Defense of the Poor Image” reaching “instant classic” status and books such as The Wretched of the Screen and Duty Free Art cementing her place in art-world discourse. And yet Steyerl’s art has not received the monographic treatment, until now.The City of Broken Windows , published to accompany a new work of the same name at Castello di Rivoli, documents Steyerl’s installation exploring the process of teaching artificial intelligence how to recognize the sound of breaking windows. Using screens, windows, crystals and sound, Steyerl explores how AI affects the urban environment. The book features new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Marianna Vecellio, Griselda Pollock and the artist herself, alongside images and a chronology of the artist’s exhibitions and lectures. Also included is an anthology of essays and interviews from 1998 to the present.

This catalog accompanies the exhibition that is developed as a collaboration between Castello di Rivoli Museo d?Arte Contemporanea and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. Conceived by Atkins as an artist?s book, the main body is a collage of imagery, text and graphical elements constructed by the artist, gleaned from the worlds of his video works and their influences. With new essays by the editors and by Irene Calderoni and Chiara Vecchiarelli, the book is accompanied by a scholarly timeline and an anthology that includes a selection of the artist?s unpublished writings, plus critical writings by Kirsty Bell, Melissa Gronlund, Martin Herbert, Leslie Jamison, Joe Luna, Jeff Nagy, Mike Sperlinger and Patrick Ward, together with interviews by Katie Guggenheim, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Beatrix Ruf and Richard Whitby.00Exhibition: Castello di Rivoli Museo d?Arte Contemporanea, Rivoli-Turin, Italy (27.09.2016? 29.01.2017) /Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin, Italy (27.09.2016? 29.01.2017)

On Curating 2, Carolee Thea's new volume of interviews with 14 of today's leading curators, explores the lively system of art biennials that is thriving around the world - particularly outside Europe and America. Spawned by their more formal Western predecessors and motivated by the forces of history and politics, the newer incarnations of the biennial often occur in the cities of the postcolonial world and the Global South, as well as in former socialist countries. The new generation of curators who are organizing these surprisingly provocative and experimental exhibitions hail from cities as diverse as Bogotá, Dakar, Havana, Jakarta, Jerusalem, Lagos, Mumbai, Seoul and Zagreb, and they are the subjects of the interviews collected in this book

The definitive overview and anthology of this influential art movement.

This catalogue is produced to accompany the 2008 Biennale of Sydney exhibition. It includes essays by Iwona Blazwick, Jonathan Crary, Charles Harrison and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, who is the Artistic Director.
