Sophie Berrebi (1973) is a writer and art historian, born
in Paris and living in Amsterdam. Her writing has appeared
in frieze, Afterall, Metropolis M, and Art and Research,
among other publications. She received her PhD from the
Courtauld Institute of Art, London and has been based at
the University of Amsterdam since 2003 where
she teaches art history and theory, mainly in the areas
of photography and contemporary art.
THE SHAPE OF EVIDENCE
Contemporary Art and the Document
Sophie Berrebi
The Shape of Evidence examines the role and use of visual documents in
contemporary art, looking at artworks in which the document is valued not only as a source
of information but also as a distinctive visual and critical form. It contends that for artists who
use film, photography or written sources, adopting formats derived from specific professional,
industrial, scientific of or commercial contexts, the document offers a way to develop a critical
reflection around issues of representation, knowledge production, art and its history.
It addresses several issues that are key both in art and in general culture today: the
role of the museum and the archive, the role of documents and the trust that is placed in them,
the circulation of such images and the historical genealogies that can be drawn in relation to
images. It is based on a close reading of a select
number of works of art (e.g. Christopher Williams,
Fiona Tan, Jean-Luc Moulène), which makes it
approachable and engaging with the reader. The
book investigates objects and ideas drawn from
a wide spectrum of areas including literature,
history, photography history, scientific representation, surrealism, conceptual art, commercial
photography etc.
Ultimately the book invites viewers to
reflect upon the production and interpretation of
seemingly straightforward images, and proposes
that some artists can show us through their practice how to turn these deceptively simple images
inside out.

De nieuwe serie vis-à-vis is bedoeld om
‘studieuze’ onderwerpen in de jonge beeldende
kunst, architectuur of design op een degelijke,
maar ook toegankelijke manier een podium te
bieden. De auteurs verhouden zich tot de (kunst-)
geschiedenis, tot andere auteurs, tot de actualiteit,
tot de lezer.
De auteurs zijn veelal academische onderzoekers.
Wat hen bindt, is een grote beeldende denkkracht,
een onverschrokken omgang met het onderwerp
en met de mores van de onderzoekswereld, en
een vaardige, creatieve pen.
De reeks wil prikkelende en relevante onderwerpen
en onderzoek, die normaliter voor de nietacademische wereld verborgen blijven, op een
toegankelijke manier beschikbaar maken.
The new series vis-à-vis was set up to
provide a solid but accessible platform to ‘studious’
subjects in the young visual arts, architecture and
design. The authors relate to history and art history, to other authors, to recent events and to the
reader. Most of them are academic researchers.
What binds them is a powerful, visual way of thinking, an undaunted treatment of the subject matter,
a fearless attitude to the mores of the academic
world, and a skilful, creative style of writing.
This series seeks to provide access to stimulating
and relevant subjects and research that usually
remain hidden to the non-academic world.

De sleutelvraag van dit boek is: hoe werkt het kunstwerk? Het betoog
bevindt zich op een snijvlak van receptie-esthetica, kunstbeschouwing en kunstkritiek en wordt ondersteund door veel voorbeelden uit
de kunstgeschiedenis en uit de hedendaagse kunst. Het richt zich op
een breed geïnteresseerd publiek dat zich nader wil verdiepen in de
werking van het kunstwerk, maar het is ook bedoeld voor kunstenaars, critici, andere kunstprofessionals en studenten in kunst, filosofie en geschiedenis. Het wil een handreiking bieden voor het kijken
naar kunst, met het doel de ervaring van kunstwerken te verdiepen.
(Ned e-book)
DE VOLMAAKTE BESCHOUWER
What happens between a spectator and an art work? How do
we experience ‘meaning’ in an art work? How can the process of
interpretation be understood and articulated?
To address these questions, the author explores the field
of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contemplation of art is a matter of interaction between the art work and
the observer. The research is focused on unravelling and problematising the theoretical terminology of the interaction between
art work and spectator, deriving from reception aesthetics as well
as from hermeneutics and phenomenology, with the aim of building a new theoretical foundation for this terminology. Additionally,
different concepts of spectatorship are extensively discussed.
‘I believe it is more productive to research how the art work
works or signifies than what it shows or might signify. This
‘how’ reveals itself mainly in the performative act of experiencing
the work.’
This book addresses scholars and students in the fields
of art history, aesthetics and visual and cultural studies, as well as
artists and art students, and all those art spectators who wish to
develop a deeper understanding of the experience of art.

The Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook is a compendium of living research
developed by artists, designers, theorists, neighbors, and activists who investigate and expand the status
of the home outside the narrow lens of private concerns, but in consideration of the great potential in
supporting a privateness that revitalizes and allows for other forms of sociality. It offers numerous entries
that include case studies, project documentation, ephemera, analysis, and theory in the form of artistic,
collective, and spatial design operations. This collection of texts and images is thereby unusual, complex,
and fascinating, yet as constructive as any home interior catalog.
The book provides tools for building a domestic commons where private and public merge and
are thereby redefined. GDR is informed by neo-Marxist, post-structuralist, and late nineteenth-century
material feminist views on domestic labor, issues, actions, and research. Inhabiting the structure of a 1960s
home economics design manual, the book investigates existing domestic regimes and divides materials
into the following key categories: Home Apparatus, Accommodations, Work at Home, Properties and Oikos,
and Neighboring (Organizing). Many projects are woven throughout these chapters. They constitute a diverse and sometimes
conflicting tapestry of domestic tactics, apparatuses of disruption,
and political entanglements to spark your imagination and catalyze
your own GDR practices.
Whether you are a flexible worker, domestic worker, house
husband, elderly caregiver, mother, activist, or student intern, this
book aims to provide an evocative — if not useful — resource for
an artistic, political, social, or personal “revolution” from the very
place where you eat, sleep, and work. It brings together relations
and tools being forged between the private and public spheres,
and across multiple fields, in the interest of (in)forming society from
the very inner but common sphere of the domestic realm.
The Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook
evolves from the Grand Domestic Revolution (GDR) project at
Casco—Office for Art, Design and Theory in Utrecht. The content
was explored during a two-year-long research residency at Casco,
aspects of which are presented here through interviews, essays,
personal accounts, diagrams, and more.

We Roma inquires into the contemporary moment through the
proposition of the ‘Roma model’ of existence as it resonates within
artistic practice and civic imagination. By reversing outsider status,
can we, with the claim that we are all Roma, invoke alternative
futures? Artists, theorists, and activists of both Roma and non-Roma
origin speculate upon the possibilities throughout this selection of
new and anthologized texts.

A Critical Reader in Contemporary Art
Daniel Baker, Maria Hlavajova (eds.)
Future Publics includes contributions by artists, theorists, and activists who reflect on the emergence of
radically new publics, whose origins in moments of social crisis and political uncertainty inspire them to question
existing forms of collective organization, decision-making structures, and protocols for the construction of social value
and cultural meaning. These future publics recognize that the institutions of political and cultural life cannot continue as
usual, following the collapse of late capital’s certitudes.
Utopian yet pragmatic, insurgent yet self-critical, these publics resist being normalized into the official,
conscriptive definitions of citizenship and instead contribute actively to the formation of new solidarities, cutting across
conventional lines of class, region, ethnicity, and ideological affiliation. In the cultural field, future publics demonstrate
a capacity for engagement that exceeds the passive observation of the ‘viewer’ or ‘consumer’. While developing a
genealogy for future publics, the contributors to this volume also assemble a vocabulary that points towards artistic
practices and emergent groups staged outside the rigid institutions of public culture: they address, among other
phenomena, rebel citizenry, cultural users, stateless states, and devolutionary platforms. The reader explores how
the imaginative and intellectual labor of such formations has proposed new speculative forms of belonging and
collaboration beyond the ones envisaged within the paradigm of ‘contemporary art’.

Gert Keunen is a teacher, publicist and musician. He
has a PhD in Sociology and teaches music history and
music industry in Tilburg, Hasselt, Brussels and Ghent.
Which mechanisms and logics of decision making and choice lie
at the basis of the selections made by people working in the pop
music circuit? Which general frames of thinking and evaluating
do pop music professionals apply? Almost as a rule, these people
will talk about the same bands, those that make the crossover
to the outside world – the ‘hypes’. What are the origins of these
hypes? How is it possible that everybody talks about the same
bands? What makes people talk about some, yet the same
bands, while remaining silent about other bands? And why
is it that only a small percentage of the legion of bands that stand
at the gates get ample airplay, concerts, press coverage and, as
a result, a sufficiently large audience?
Alternative Mainstream deals with the music
segment that lies between the ‘mainstream’ and the ‘underground’.
This segment includes genres that range from hip hop to rock
and from folk to electronic music. Gert Keunen attempts to uncover
which aesthetics and ideologies lie at the basis of the cultural
construct that is the alternative mainstream and embeds his
findings in a broader socio-economic context.

Rudi Laermans is Professor of Social Theory at the
KULeuven (B) and writes regularly about dance and
visual art.
Moving Together by Rudi Laermans examines
contemporary dance from both a practical and a theoretical
perspective, with interactions between the two. The author
analyses three important tendencies in contemporary dance:
pure dance, dance theatre, and (self-)reflexive dance. He
proposes a (theoretical) conceptual framework and through
extensive dialogues with choreographers he investigates how
artistic cooperation results in dance.

Niels Van Tomme is a New York based curator,
researcher and critic who currently works at
the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture
in Baltimore. His exhibition projects are shown
internationally and investigate the intersections of
contemporary culture, politics, and aesthetics.
Pascal Gielen teaches sociology of art and cultural
politics at Groningen University. He is also director
of the research group Arts in Society at Fontys
School of Fine Arts and Performing Arts (Tilburg).
Gielen has written several books on contemporary
art, cultural heritage, and cultural politics.
In this publication, sociologist Pascal Gielen and curator Niels Van
Tomme invite a variety of artists and critical thinkers to reflect on new
futures for the notion and practice of justice. Launching the proposition
of ‘aesthetic justice’, the book offers thought-provoking views on the
ways in which works of art may confront, and potentially redirect social
and political imaginaries. Using analyses of contemporary art works
that challenge the social, political or economic status quo, as well as
interviews with artists and theoretical reflections, the book suggests
alternatives for a more just future. It does so by considering the liberating potential of specific aesthetic frameworks used in a wide variety of
artistic contexts, ranging from the visual arts to cinema, from music to
theatre, and by exploring novel modes that can shape the emotionally
charged concept of justice, and eventually transform it.

Ulay (1943) has been a pioneer of Polaroid photography and
one of the central figures of performance art since the 1970s.
A singular presence among the artists of his generation, his
radically innovative work, partly known for his twelve-year
partnership with Marina Abramović, has received critical
acclaim worldwide. This generous volume Whispers
reveals an extremely innovative oeuvre, coherently rooted in
a personal life philosophy guided by strong ethical principles.

Together with Meeus Ontwerpt, PUNTPIXEL and Miriam
Rasch (Institute of Network Cultures), Valiz has created its first
e-book, specifically designed as such. In this digital edition
of Common Skin, philosopher Liesbeth Levy and art
critic Daphne Pappers disclose the work of the artist Myriam
Mihindou (Gabon/France, 1964) and the power of dialogue. It
includes an artist’s section in which Myriam Mihindou reveals
the relationship between sketches, notes and key works. With
a searchable database and no compromises made when
it comes to images and design, this first Valiz e-book goes
beyond the standard of most e-books today. The book will
be available through the main digital bookstores and via our
website.

Trancity en Valiz zijn samenwerkende uitgeverijen die
elkaar vinden in een gemeenschappelijke opvatting over
de functie van publicaties. De boeken bieden kritische
reflectie, zorgen voor interdisciplinaire inspiratie en leggen
het verband tussen culturele disciplines en economische
en sociaal-maatschappelijke kwesties. Publicaties over de
stad, stedelijke ontwikkeling en het publieke domein zijn
de kern van de samenwerking trancityXvaliz.

Leeszaal Rotterdam West wordt vaak
gebruikt als voorbeeld van hoe zo’n ontwikkeling
niet moet (amateurisme door bezuinigingen) en hoe
het wel moet (bewonersinitiatief). In dit boek wordt
de Leeszaal van binnenuit belicht en bespreken de
initiatiefnemers aan de hand van hun praktijkregistraties en theoretische inspiratiebronnen de Leeszaal
als zelforganisatie, als publiek domein, als leer- en
werkplek en als cultuurbazaar.
Dit is geen handboek met richtlijnen en waarschuwingen, maar een kritisch en praktisch ideeënboek over mogelijkheden en ingewikkeldheden om
met anderen je eigen stad te maken. Voor doe-hetzelvers, professionals en ambtenaren, en interessant
voor alle anderen die over stedelijke ontwikkeling van
onderop en de inrichting van maatschappelijke en
culturele ontmoetingsplaatsen nadenken.

DE UITVINDING VAN
LEESZAAL ROTTERDAM WEST
Collectieve tactieken
en culturele uitwisselingen
Maurice Specht,
Joke van der Zwaard
Na de sluiting van de bibliotheek in de Rotterdamse wijk
Het Oude Westen richtten actieve wijkbewoners Leeszaal
Rotterdam West op, dat in korte tijd opgroeide tot een
bloeiende ontmoetingsplek.
De uitvinding van Leeszaal Rotterdam West begon met twee vragen aan de bewoners: hoe ziet jouw ideale Leeszaal er uit, en wat zou je er
zelf aan kunnen bijdragen? Kort daarna werd er een pand
ingericht en ontstond een mooie publieke ontmoetingsplek
rond taal, literatuur, verbeelding en participatie die volledig
draait op een bont gezelschap van vrijwilligers. Hoe verliep
dat proces en wat is het resultaat?

After budget cuts forced the public
library of the Het Oude Westen area
in Rotterdam to close, members of
the community took matters into their
own hands and founded the Leeszaal
Rotterdam. This public, communitycontrolled library is often used as an
example of a successful bottom-up
initiative. In this publication the Leeszaal
is used as case study to learn about
creating your own city in a critical,
reflexive way.
Maurice Specht is filosoof
en publiceerde eerder
over zelforganisaties in
de stad.
Joke van der Zwaard is
ontwikkelingspsycholoog
en publiceerde over
rondkomen, vooruitkomen en samenleven in
stadswijken.
trancityXvaliz is a co-operation of two independent publishers. They share a common
understanding regarding the function of publications. Their books offer critical reflection,
interdisciplinary inspiration, and establish a connection between cultural disciplines and
socio-economic questions. Publications on the city, urban change and the public domain
are at the core of the collaboration between Trancity and Valiz.
