Antennae Mobile Autonomy
exercises in artists'self-organization beyond individualism
2015 || Paperback || Nico Dockx e.a. || Valiz
Neoliberalism has taken autonomous professional values and labour firmly in its grasp. Traditional forms of employment are replaced with post-Fordist conditions in which work has become freelance, flexible, mobile, project-based, hybrid and temporary. This way of working is not new to artists. They have seen themselves confronted with these precarious conditions since many years. Mobile Autonomy detects what modes of economy and different innovative working modalities artists and other artist...

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...

The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design
2021 || Paperback || Louise Schouwenberg e.a. || Valiz
The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design is emerging from a growing recognition of design’s capacity to make sense of one’s world while at the same time to express and convey this personal insight or knowledge through rich, layered, and ultimately meaningful processes or objects. Auto-ethnographic design seeks to come to terms with one’s context and self—as well as the materiality that mediates these two. In doing so, it offers a vision of design that is free of commercial commissions, as...

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...
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...
Performing Mourning
Laments in Contemporary Art
2021 || Paperback || Guy Cools || Valiz
‘Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed.’
