Résumé:
From January to April 2000 historian David Irving brought a high-profile libel case against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt in the British High Court, charging that Lipstadt’s book, ''Denying the Holocaust'' (1993), falsely labeled him a Holocaust denier. The question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings. In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in cross-examination in court.

Résumé:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios held at EPFL. In Architecture Without Content 14, the second incarnation of Roman Architecture presents itself as a double folded exercise: partly portraying the systematic work by Palladio in the Venetian inland during the second half of the sixteenth century, partyly reusing the accumulated knowledge in order to deal with urgent challenges in contemporary Flanders. The oeuvre by Palladio represents on of the most prototypical incarnations, almost literal indeed, of a possible Roman project. His prolific work for the venetian inlandrepresents a tremendous effort to systematise the complexity of an entire territory, from the city proper (i.e. Vicenza), to the countryside proper 9the sprawl still to come).

Résumé:
The publication is the first comprehensive study of Baruchello’s relationship with the moving image from the sixties on. Produced on the occasion of the exhibition "Gianfranco Baruchello: Cold Cinema". "Film, video e opere 1960-1999", held at La Triennale di Milano in 2014 and 2015, the book opens with a densely packed montage of Baruchello’s own notes, images, and documents, presented by means of a medium dear to the artist, photocopies. An essay by Alessandro Rabottini takes us through the rooms of the exhibition at La Triennale di Milano, while a conversation between Baruchello and Massimiliano Gioni highlights some key aspects of his ideas about cinema. Carla Subrizi’s text winds its way through his entire production of films and videos, whereas an essay by Philippe-Alain Michaud examines some of the historical roots of Verifica incerta (1964-65).

Résumé:
Cette publication est une collection d’essais réunissant les voix de 16 artistes, commissaires, historien.ne.s de l’art et travailleur.se.s culturel.le.s autochtones, tant francophones qu’anglophones, œuvrant dans les territoires que l’on nomme Québec. Faisant suite à des expositions, des performances, des résidences d’artistes et des discussions mises en place lors du Projet Tiohtìa :ke (2017-2019) du Collectif des commissaires autochtones, ces textes honorent les relations et les affinités qui sont au cœur de ces pratiques en arts visuels. Par la diversité des points de vue et les enjeux soulevés par ces écrits, ce livre pose des questions cruciales sur l’avenir des arts autochtones et ouvre la porte à des dialogues longtemps attendus au Québec qui, nous l’espérons, permettront de créer de réels changements positifs. Il est maintenant temps de plonger dans ces imaginaires collectifs éblouissants et de nager dans les eaux ondulantes de ces mémoires résilientes.

Résumé:
Throughout the early twentieth century, waves of migration brought working-class people to the outskirts of Buenos Aires. This prompted a dilemma: Where should these restive populations be situated relative to the city’s spatial politics? Enter Antonio Bonet, a Catalan architect inspired by the transatlantic modernist and surrealist movements. Ana María León follows Bonet's decades-long, state-backed quest to house Buenos Aires's diverse and fractious population. Working with totalitarian and populist regimes, Bonet developed three large-scale housing plans, each scuttled as a new government took over. Yet these incomplete plans—Bonet's dreams—teach us much about the relationship between modernism and state power. This volume finds in Bonet's projects the disconnect between modern architecture’s discourse of emancipation and the reality of its rationalizing control. Although he and his patrons constantly glorified the people and depicted them in housing plans, Bonet never consulted them. Instead he succumbed to official and elite fears of the people's latent political power. In careful readings of Bonet's work, León discovers the progressive erasure of surrealism's psychological sensitivity, replaced with an impulse, realized in modernist design, to contain the increasingly empowered population.

Résumé:
Newspaper articles, speeches, and essays show Sunil Gupta’s crucial role at the center of grassroots queer and postcolonial organizing throughout an artistic career lived between Canada, the UK, and India. In his pieces about homosexuality in Indian cities, the AIDS crisis, the Black Arts Movement, or key figures including Joy Gregory and Robert Mapplethorpe, Gupta foregrounds the power of cultural activism in the politically fraught contexts of London and Delhi, and illuminates the essential connections between queer migration and self-discovery. Continually questioning given forms of identity, Gupta offers artists and curators multiple strategies of resistance, carving out space for new ways of imagining what it might mean to live, love, and create.
