And how could new methods of documentation and dissemination, for example on the Internet, contribute to a more liberal access to the (so-far) closed-circuit system of established formulas for the mediation of multi-media artworks, in order to create a wider frame of reference via new visualization techniques? These questions were debated among other issues at an international symposium, held in the spring of 2004 at the University of Art in Bremen. As intentionally re?ected in the adapted title from Dan Graham’s seminal video-feedback installation »Present Continuous Past(s)«, the conference discussions crystallized around three main aspects, namely the relation of the artists’ intention to the faithful presentation and preservation of multi-media artworks for possible future re-presentations, the speci?c reception conditions that these works require as much in their gallery displays as under the conditions of post-exhibition documentation (particularly in anticipation of future presentations), and ?nally – as implicitly re?ected in all of these aspects – the philosophical dimensions of media art’s historicity. Media art’s ›becoming-of-age‹ has generally caused more concern and has led to more useful strategic initiatives within the museum context than in the academic ?eld of art history.

Book Description
Setting up on a sunny day at the beach or snapping a passport photo, the studio photographer measures out his working day in repeated frames, fixing the ordinary customer on film. Addressing the enduring value of these portraits and the viewer's common humanity with the subjects is the aim of Mapping Sitting, a collection of studio photographs, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, that shows an Arab world that defies stereotypes. Drawn from the archives of the Arab Image Foundation, whose mission is to rescue and preserve indigenous Arab photography, and curated by two Lebanese-born artists, Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari, these photographs provide a moving mosaic of Middle Eastern men and women posing in the studio, lounging on the sand, or goofing around on bikes. There are also pages of carefully indexed passport photos, which become charged with meaning in a post-9/11 world. The exhibition from which Mapping Sitting was drawn, mounted at the Grey Art Gallery in New York, was widely reviewed in publications such as The New York Times and New York Magazine.

Book Description
An illustrated investigation into the critical motives behind the last, unfinished work that has defined the romantic legacy of conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader. In 1975 Bas Jan Ader disappeared at sea while trying to sail from the East Coast of the United States to Europe as part of a project titled In Search of the Miraculous. Ader's considerable influence on later conceptual artists stems from the way in which he used the cool analytic and antisubjective aesthetics of conceptual art to explore experiences that would seem definitively subjective—the emotional intensity of tragedy and the romantic quest for the sublime. In Search of the Miraculous was conceived as a three-part project: a lonely nighttime walk from the hills of Los Angeles down to the sea, documented in photographs; the Atlantic crossing; a night walk through Amsterdam, mirroring the LA photographs.The circumstances of his disappearance have led many interpreters to identify Ader (as a person) with the role of the tragic romantic hero. The cult status of the artist as a hero whose work is authenticated through his death, however, has obscured the fact that Ader's art was a critical investigation of precisely those romantic motives his persona has now come to be identified with. This book unpicks these ties in Ader's work in order to highlight the specific and unique way in which Ader explores the existential and emotional with an artistic approach that is as conceptual and analytic as it is poetic and personal. Afterall Books are distributed by The MIT Press.
