Tomáš Pospiszyl: Srovnávací studie (2005) [Czech]
Filed under book | Tags: · art, art criticism, art history
“V knize Srovnávací studie autor upozorňuje na rozdílnost zdánlivě podobných uměleckých děl nebo teoretických myšlenek, které sice vznikaly současně, ale na různých stranách železné opony. Ukazuje, v čem se lišili kritici Jindřich Chalupecký a Clement Greenberg, rozdíly mezi díly socialistického realismu a malířem Normanem Rockwellem, srovnává mírové manifesty Jana Lukeše, Vladimíra Boudníka a Milana Knížáka, přibližuje vztahy Jana Kotíka a Pravoslava Rady k Situacionistické internacionále a vyvrací mýty o východoevropském minimalismu. Resumé do angličtiny přeložil Jeff Buehler. Reprodukce na obálce Ján Mančuška.”

“This project aims to challenge the model of the institutionalized library, calling for a new decentralized system. The fundamental characteristics of a library and a city are the same: they both serve as spaces of exchange and encounter. Dispersing library content throughout the city would be of mutual benefit to the library and city: opportunities for informational exchange and casual encounter would dramatically increase.” (from introduction)

Brad Troemel: Peer Pressure: Essays on the Internet by an Artist on the Internet (2011)
Filed under book | Tags: · 4chan, anonymous, art, internet, internet art, memes, net art, relational aesthetics, surf club, tumblr, web, youtube
Peer Pressure is a collection of essays previously published online between 2010 and 2011. In the author’s words, “each essay is an impassioned description or prescription to understand the digital space we inhabit differently.” Most of these writings have been highly influential for the (relatively) small community the author addresses, eliciting many heated debates. The texts idealistically address creative platforms, image aggregators, relational practices, internet memes and much more.
