Cinisello Balsamo: Silvana Editoriale, 2019. Montpellier, Moco, June 29 - September 29, 2019. English and French Text. Cinisello Balsamo, 2019; paperback, pp. 288, 100 col. ill., cm 21x27. L'exposition inaugurale du MOCO sera consacrée à la présentation inédite d'une sélection d'oeuvres majeures issues de la collection Ishikawa, initiée en 2011 par l'entrepreneur japonais Yasuharu Ishikawa. Le commissariat est confié à Yuko Hasegawa, directrice artistique du Musée d'Art contemporain de Tokyo (MOT) et professeur à l'université des arts de Tokyo. Considérée comme l'une des figures les plus influentes du monde de l'art contemporain asiatique, elle a récemment été commissaire de la 7e Biennale internationale d'art contemporain de Moscou : Nuages - Forêts (septembre 2017), et présenté les expositions Japonorama au Centre Pompidou Metz (octobre 2017) et Fukami à l'Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild à Paris (août 2018). Avec près de 50 oeuvres muséales (sculptures, vidéos, installations, photographies) d'environ 20 artistes internationaux tels que On Kawara (Kariya, Japon, 1932 - New York, Etats-Unis, 2014), Felix Gonzalez Torres (1957, Guáimaro, Cuba - 1996, Miami, USA), Pierre Huyghe (1962, Paris, France), Danh Vo (Bà Ria, Vietnam, 1975), Tino Sehgal (Grande Bretagne, 1976), Motoyuki Shitamichi (1978, Okayama, Japon) ou Simon Fujiwara (Londres, Grande Bretagne 1982), l'exposition dessinera la trajectoire personnelle de son initiateur à travers l'art de ces vingt dernières années, et abordera la relation du spectateur à l'oeuvre d'art. L'exposition rassemble des oeuvres majeures de notre époque. Avec cette première exposition, le MOCO témoigne de sa capacité à mobiliser les plus grands acteurs et les plus grandes collections à Montpellier, mettant ainsi la ville sur la carte des lieux cardinaux de l'art moderne et contemporain., Silvana Editoriale, 2019, 0, Paperback / softback. New. The act of bearing witness can reveal much, but what about the figure of the witness itself? As contemporary culture is increasingly dominated by surveillance, the witness-whether artist, historian, scientist, government official, or ordinary citizen-has become empowered in realms from art to politics. In Seeing Witness, Jane Blocker challenges the implicit authority of witnessing through the examination of a series of contemporary artworks, all of which make the act of witnessing visible, open to inspection and critique. Considering such artists as Marina Abramovic, James Luna, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Eduardo Kac, and Ann Hamilton, Blocker investigates the artists and spectators who look, the technologies they look with, and the forms of power and moral authority that permit their viewing. Going beyond particular traumatic or sensational events, Blocker contemplates the politics of witnessing and argues that the witness represents a morally unique-and even problematic-position of privilege. Separating Seeing Witness from previous literature on the subject, she finds that the visual is inherent in witnessing and asserts that contemporary art is integral to questioning and understanding how witnessing is mobilized in culture today., 6<
