Paul Ryan Books

"In a conversation with dOCUMENTA (13) agents Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri, New York-based video artist Paul Ryan talks about the theoretical and biographical background to his work, about formative experiences while being an assistant to Marshall McLuhan, and about his role within the video group Raindance and their magazine Radical Software -- and about how all these influences shaped his desire to connect his artistic practice with revolutionary social action. Ryan's idea of Threeing lies at the center. Based on Charles Sanders Peirce's phenomenological categories of firstness, secondness, and thirdness, Threeing is a voluntary practice of relating, in which three people take turns playing three roles. The conversation is complemented by a detailed appendix with illustrated texts on Threeing and on Ryan's concept of the Relational Circuit."-- Publisher's website.

"Video Mind, Earth Mind" is a collection of texts (1968-1991) by Paul Ryan offering ideas about how video and television can be used to respond to our ecological crisis. For example, Mr. Ryan presents the development of a teachable method for using video to interpret the natural world. Based on this method, he articulates a systemic way of using television to ground human communication in ecological systems. He argues that grounding our television communications in ecological systems will help control our runaway destruction of this planet and shape ways of living on earth that are sustainable.

Paul Valéry évolue dans un milieu artistique riche, dont son histoire personnelle se mêle à celle de la peinture de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècles. Artiste et peintre à part entière, son parcours, de la formation à la maturité, englobe le dessin, l’aquarelle et la gravure, en lien avec les grands motifs de son univers. À travers les Cahiers, sous l'influence de Léonard de Vinci et Degas, Valéry, en tant que théoricien, explore les aspects du dessin qu'il a sans cesse redéfinis. Cet ouvrage, accompagné d’un cahier d’illustrations, examine la place de l'œuvre artistique dans son projet créatif. Il met en lumière la continuité entre l’écrit et le dessin, soulignant une correspondance sémiotique qui résonne avec le Système valéryen. Valéry (1871-1945) est présenté ici pour la première fois comme dessinateur et peintre. Dès son jeune âge, il s’illustre par le dessin et l’aquarelle, s'intéressant à l'ornement et à l'architecture. Sa relation avec Jeannie Gobillard, nièce de Berthe Morisot, le lie personnellement à la famille Rouart et aux Impressionnistes. Ses essais artistiques traitent de figures telles que Leonardo da Vinci, Degas, et Manet. En 1923, il reçoit le Prix des Peintres. Ses poèmes sont souvent illustrés par ses propres gravures, et ses cahiers contiennent de nombreuses illustrations, présentées ici pour la première fois par Paul Ryan. Le préface est signé par Martine Rouart, petite-fille de Valéry, artiste
