"Internationally exhibited and celebrated artist Pierre Huyghe is considered one of contemporary art's most significant artists. Huyghe's work is often characterized by complex systems that engage a wide range of life forms and technologies. Playful in spirit, the work nevertheless addresses complex social topics such as the yearning for utopia, the lure of spectacle in mass media, and the impact of modernism on contemporary values and belief systems"-- Provided by publisher. The first collection of critical writings on the work of the influential contemporary French artist Pierre Huyghe.Influenced by wide-ranging ideas from land art and institutional critique to experimental cinematic practices and narrative film, the groundbreaking work of Pierre Huyghe since the early 1990s has arguably, even indelibly, altered the landscape of contemporary art. The French artist works at the beguiling intersection of fiction and reality, representation and performance, spectacle and memory, chance and agency, living organisms and technological entities. As formats and discourses of cinema (be it Godard or Lumet) and architecture, (invented or existing) holidays and games, (puppet) theatre and opera, fairy tales and (travel) literature, museology and computer technology, life sciences and popular culture (like Manga comics or Disney movies) are renegotiated in Huyghe’s variegated projects, the methods and modalities of producing, exposing, and experiencing art, in turn, come under both critical scrutiny and allegorical speculation.The essays and interviews by preeminent scholars, critics, and curators, including Benjamin Buchloh, David Joselit, and Molly Nesbit, compiled in this volume trace the trajectory of Huyghe’s practice over the last three decades, from the artist’s earlier engagements with the built environment, the temporalities of cinema and television, the customs of social communities, and the volatile property relations in global media culture, to his most recent and much-discussed ecological redefinitions of the objects and sites of art. At the same time these texts and conversations ponder and gauge the far-reaching implications of Huyghe’s many seminal artworks for the history, theory, and ontology of art in the early twenty-first century.

From Michael Cisco, one of the most innovative and subversive writers working today, comes the long-awaited, ground-breaking novel of a suicide survivor trying in vain to write himself back into existence. Unlanguage is the story of a man transformed by death and by language change. The language, once understood, transforms him, and transforms learning itself. One day, he looks down at the hand resting on his thigh and sees that it's just an ordinary hand. What had been composed of colored light made solid goes back to being meat and blood. His body reverts to the ordinary sloshing heaviness of a regular body. The exalted vision of his eyes becomes the filmy, blurred vision of the usual kind. He slumps back into his former self. Whirlwinds of shame close on him. With a violent, monkey-like energy he wracks his brains for a way back. Then it occurs to him, he can still write that language. He must write his way back. Told as a structural guide to impossible grammar, Michael Cisco's Unlanguage is a brilliant, thought-provoking novel that not only pushes the boundaries of literature but of language itself.

This book questions the physics of diversity—why diversity happens by itself, why it is a phenomenon that has a mind of its own, and why it opposes any effort of being shoehorned into a few distinct (antagonistic) classes. Physics is not opinion; physical facts can be put to the test. The book begins with fundamentals of design evolution in nature—movement, time direction, freedom to change, size, shape, structure. It continues with pictorial examples of distinct evolutionary domains of the most common type: people, animals, athletes, rhythms, technologies, and universities. The features of diversity shared so clearly by so many dissimilar domains empower the biosphere with the design that sustains it and assures its future. An integral part of nature’s design is the merit system. This way the readers discover on their own that diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficially. The book is alive with illustrations, anecdotes, humor, and history. Reveals that diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficially Explains how Unnatural (imposed) diversity is destined to fade, like all the unhelpful ideas, inventions and laws Liberates the readers to question, think, decide, and then question themselves
