L’art face au livre by Pascal Krajewski

“…The article analyzes the various ways of articulating together the four concepts of the debate: the book, the medium, the text, and the work of art. Schematically, this encounter through the book object outlines three distinct regions : where the book plays a documentary role in relation to an external work of art, where it plays the role of an element integrated into a comprehensive visual artwork, and where it functions itself as a work of art in its own right.The aesthetic effects of books on the art objects they refer to are examined to show how they oscillate between aesthetic neutrality and media reinvention, including the addition of a sensual or symbolic charge.Finally, the article focuses on what it calls “bookish arts,” encompassing pop-ups and manuscripts as well as artist’s books and illustrated books, to precisely describe each piece of this patchwork where the book truly becomes the work of art.…”

ЕMPATHY AS CONDITIONS OF HUMAN CREATIVITY by Tamara N. Matyukh

“…After analyzing the nature of human creativity we came to the conclusion that the basis of the embodiment of sensibility of the artist in a work of art is a process of empathy. It is noted that the method of empathy is one of heuristic methods of creative activity, which is based on a process of empathy, i.e. identification of the object and the subject of creativity, "use", and creator inherent in any field of activity and is widely used in solving problems of art.…”

Entrer en collection. Pour une ethnographie des gestes et des techniques de collecte by Julien Bondaz

“…On the basis of the examples concerning collecting in Africa, it is possible to outline the various issues relating to the entrance into a collection of objects, particularly of their promotion to the status of ethnographical specimen or work of art. It would be advisable to establish an ethnography of the practices of collecting and to show that, far from being univocal, it – from its methods to its encounter with the paradigm of the hunt or market logic – demonstrates a complexity and a heterogeneity that should be examined.…”
