Vis-à-vis The Lure of the Biographical
on the self-representation of modern artists
2017 || Paperback || Sandra Kisters || Valiz
The Lure of the Biographical onderzoekt de veronderstelde relatie tussen het werk en het persoonlijke imago van kunstenaars.

Tegelijkertijd onderzoekt het boek hoe andere partijen, zoals critici, biografen, fotografen, filmmakers, kunsthistorici en handelaren verbindingen leggen tussen het privé...

Commons in Design
2023 || Paperback || Christine Schranz || Valiz
The scarcity of resources, climate change, and the digitalization of everyday life are fuelling the economy of swapping, sharing, and lending—all of which are in some way linked to a culture of commoning. In this context, we understand commons as community-based processes that use, collectively manage, and organize generally accessible resources—referring to both goods and knowledge. Commons in Design explores the meaning and impact of commons—especially knowledge-based peer commons—a...

Making Public Compassion
a paradox in art and society
2017 || Paperback || Jeroen Boomgaard e.a. || Valiz
Dit boek onderzoekt welke plaats een kunstwerk kan innemen in het publieke domein, hoe het de aandacht kan richten op ethische vraagstukken in de samenleving, en hoe het individuen en groepen kan aanzetten tot actie. Met haar hybride karakter wil het een casestudy zijn voor een onderscheidende vorm van kunstanalyse, die via een verkenning van het conceptuele kunstwerk Vlag van Compassie, geiniteerd door Rini Hurkmans, ook de specifieke rol van kunst bevraagt: haar autonomie, haar plaats in ma...

Vis-à-vis The Transhistorical Museum
mapping the field
2018 || Paperback || Eva Wittocx e.a. || Valiz
Since the turn of this century, we have witnessed a significant expanse in the field of transhistorical exhibition practices. A range of curatorial efforts have emerged in which objects and artefacts from various periods and art-historical and cultural contexts are combined in display, in an effort to question and expand traditional museological notions such as chronology, context, and category. Such experiments in transcending art-historical boundaries can potentially result in both fresh in...
Practicing Art Internationally
Friendship, Alterity, Solidarity
2022 || Paperback || Binna Choi e.a. || Valiz
What is at stake in this book is an attempt to de-align the discussion of international art practice from the rhetoric of globalization and an exclusive focus on the contemporary. Instead, it seeks to trace a genealogy of trans-local practices, with histories and methods that link to networks of friendship and solidarity, and of the visual arts as participating in a longer history of contact between individuals motivated by shared interests and struggles. Visual art is not limited to a discip...

Shame! and Masculinity
2020 || Paperback || Ernst van Alphen e.a. || Valiz
Sinds de #metoo-beweging zijn vormen van mannelijk seksueel geweld en machtsmisbruik op grote schaal onder de loep genomen. De focus op ‘toxic masculinity’ heeft invloed op onze perceptie van mannelijke seksualiteit, die het zelfbeeld en het zelfrespect van mannen aanzienlijk beïnvloedt. Mannen worden door anderen beschaamd vanwege hun grensoverschrijdende en minachtende houding; en ze schamen zich intrinsiek voor hun eigen fouten of voor de virulente patronen en tradities binnen de ‘w...
