Chomskian Abstract

In this DVD, which featured in Cornelia Parker’s exhibition at Ikon gallery (in 2007) and at the Whitechapel, Noam Chomsky responds to questions asked by Parker at Massachuetts Institute of technology.

The production and use of sound is central to all the work of Allora and Calzadilla. In a recent series of installations documented in this book they explore the continuum between noise and its structuring through music.

Piero Gilardi is a pioneer of Arte Povera and a proud advocate of an ecological-concerned undertaking in visual arts. He is a peripatetic artist who gathered information about experimental art and creators in the 1960s, promoting the work of Richard Long or Jan Dibbets, and introducing Bruce Nauman or Eva Hesse into Europe.

How can the present relationships in the medium of art be changed? What is the nature of the relationship between art and civil society? Can one understand art as a practice that can find application as a model elsewhere? The exhibition 'Power of the Powerless' and this catalogue seek to treat these and other questions by examining contemporary art perspectives.

SUPERFLEX intervenes within specific fields of social action, which impact upon the power structures of this economic system. This publication provides a detailed and typological description of SUPERFLEX's artworks, which they describe as 'working tools' for citizens to use.

An Anthology on Aesthetic Strategies under Repressive Systems in Latin America

The publication 'Resistance Performed—Aesthetic Strategies under Repressive Systems in Latin America' addresses performative artistic strategies as a lived practice of resistance in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. At the core of this reflection are historical positions that have borne witness to the way people have resisted repressive and dictatorial political systems in Latin America since the 1960s, often jeopardizing their own lives (e.g. 3Nós3, Elías Adasme, Lenora de Barros, Paulo Bruscky, Antonio Dias, León Ferrari, Gastão de Magalhães, Anna Maria Maiolino, Cildo Meireles, Luis Pazos, Horacio Zabala, Anna Maria Maiolino, Yeguas del Apocalipsis). The intention is to conduct a fresh exploration of the idea of resistance through a dialogue with contemporary positions.
