L'exposition proposée à Beaubourg sur Marcel Duchamp, du 24 septembre au 5 janvier, donne à voir les interrogations du peintre devenu tour à tour provocateur, dynamiteur du monde de l'art et précurseur dans les installations.

This public event aims to situate the German artist Sigmar Polke and his significance within a wider art historical context before unpicking the complex layers of his diverse practice, raising questions around what makes his art of such contemporary relevance today.
Polke took a wildly different approach to art-making, from his responses to consumer society in the 1960s to his interest in travel and communal living in the 1970s and his increasingly experimental practice after 1980. Join us for a discussion addressing Polke’s status as a painter, the politics and ethics of his encounters with other cultures, his relationship to German history and the legacy of his experimental practice on a younger generation of artists. Speakers include artist Peter Fischli and art historians and curators Bice Curiger, Mark Godfrey, Martin Hentschel and Petra Lange-Berndt.

Meet the Artist Who Translated ‘Waiting for Godot’ into an iMessage Conversation. GPDF093 : Sophia Le Fraga : W8ING from Gauss PDF on Vimeo.
At a recent event called Poetry Will Be Made by All in Zurich, Sophia Le Fraga and Trisha Low sat on a couple of chairs in front of an audience, silently poking at their cellphones. Behind them, Le Fraga’s reinterpretation of Samuel Beckett’s classic drama Waiting for Godot — titled “W8ING” — scrolled by, staged in the Messages app of an iPhone, in text-y abbreviations and emoji: “Nothin 2 b done.” “word – I feel like yr right.” “all my life I’ve been like wtvr b reasonable like you haven’t tried everything yet” “but the struggle is real” And so on. It’s probably safe to say that this is not for everybody — actually watching two people swap messages as their text-English conversation scrolls by can be a challenging experience.
Quand les artistes détournent les objets du quotidien. Ai Weiwei wants you to pretend your leg is a gun. The Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, a master of social media, has started a new Instagram meme: hold up your leg and pretend you're aiming it like a gun.
It's unclear what the controversial artist is trying to say with the gag, but his Instagram feed has now been taken over by dozens of leg gun photos from fans. Men, women, children, dolls, Chinese, Americans, Kermit the Frog, and even one amputee with a prosthetic have joined in on the game. The meme has gotten more creative. In one photo taken in profile, friends line up their leg guns and aim over each other's shoulders while sitting on a set of stairs. Why are artists disappearing from the Internet?

Japanese Performance Artist Mariko Mori On Nature, Liberation And The Current State Of Performance.

The iconic artist is having a renaissance this fall, as she's hosting her first US solo show in over a decade.

Artist Uses Directions Drawn By Strangers To Create Crowd Sourced Map Of Manhattan. When is the last time you used hand-drawn directions to navigate from one location to another? In the age of Google Maps and smartphone GPS, we can't blame you if your answer is somewhere in the ballpark of "never" to "not since I bought a first generation iPhone. " While there might be great reason to bemoan the lost art of cartography, one artist by the name of Nobutaka Aozaki is proving that there's something endearingly magical about the act of scribbling directions without the use of a digital device. Aozaki has pieced together random hand-drawn directions he's commissioned from strangers on the street to create a sizeable, crowd-sourced map of Manhattan aptly titled "From Here to There.

More than a century ago, in New York City, Paul Strand began creating some of the earliest candid street photography.
