Book Description
Pontus Hultén was one of the major museum directors, nationally and internationally, in his time. He built up important art institutions, primarily Moderna Museet Stockholm, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and Palazzo Grassi, Venice. Hultén put on a series of pioneering exhibitions, introducing art of importance that was not always already established at Moderna Museet in the 1960s. The artists were among others Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely. As artistic director at Centre Georges Pompidou he curated major exhibitions in the 1980s, among them a series of exhibitions on early modernism in Paris in relation to the modernism of Moscow, New York and Berlin at the time.

Book Description
How did art escape the deadlock of the Situationists? anti-art refusal? Did the relational artists, with their repetitions of Situationist slogans and techniques, outline a sustainable, micro-political alternative to Guy Debord?s dream of surpassing art and realizing philosophy? Looking back at some of the Situationists? confrontations with the museum, this book traces a path beyond the tragedy of negativity and the litany of recuperation. At the center is the concept of play; originally adopted as the principle of reconciled life, it returns as the lever of instrumentalization. But in the extraterrestial wasteland of the present, spaces of ludic coexistence and experimentation may remain possible, provided that pessimism can be adequately organized.

Book Description
Leading international artists and art educators consider the challenges of art education in today's dramatically changed art world. The last explosive change in art education came nearly a century ago, when the German Bauhaus was formed. Today, dramatic changes in the art world—its increasing professionalization, the pervasive power of the art market, and fundamental shifts in art-making itself in our post-Duchampian era—combined with a revolution in information technology, raise fundamental questions about the education of today's artists. Art School (Propositions for the 21st Century) brings together more than thirty leading international artists and art educators to reconsider the practices of art education in academic, practical, ethical, and philosophical terms. The essays in the book range over continents, histories, traditions, experiments, and fantasies of education. Accompanying the essays are conversations with such prominent artist/educators as John Baldessari, Michael Craig-Martin, Hans Haacke, and Marina Abramovic, as well as questionnaire responses from a dozen important artists—among them Mike Kelley, Ann Hamilton, Guillermo Kuitca, and Shirin Neshat—about their own experiences as students. A fascinating analysis of the architecture of major historical art schools throughout the world looks at the relationship of the principles of their designs to the principles of the pedagogy practiced within their halls. And throughout the volume, attention is paid to new initiatives and proposals about what an art school can and should be in the twenty-first century—and what it shouldn't be. No other book on the subject covers more of the questions concerning art education today or offers more insight into the pressures, challenges, risks, and opportunities for artists and art educators in the years ahead.
