Summary:
Lorsqu'en 1962 l'Algérie accède à son indépendance, la population hérite d'un espace façonné pendant 132 ans par l'architecture de l'Etat colonial français. De façon inédite dans l'histoire, un peuple va concrètement habiter l'indépendance, en investissant massivement un environnement bâti pour l'exclure, voire lui nuire. Ancré plus particulièrement à Alger, cet ouvrage revient sur les conditions d'une expérimentation urbaine et questionne la composante coloniale de l'architecture et de son enseignement, au fil du temps, dans les corpus français comme algériens. Fruit d'une réflexion collective transdisciplinaire qui ose aborder des sujets peu traités, de l'architecture carcérale à la trajectoire de la statuaire coloniale, cette exploration critique de l'aménagement d'Alger entend mettre en lumière les pratiques de la ville par les personnes qui l'habitent.

Summary:
''Tropical reading: photobook and self-publishing'' illustrates the photography practitioners and artist collectives from each city in Southeast Asia, examining why they chose to get into self-publishing. It explores how independent art bookstores came to be the social parlours of the self-publishing crowd. Furthermore, observes how the outsider artists, archives and arts initiatives of Southeast Asia came to shape the face of photography and self-publishing in their respective cities. The index is a compilation of our project field research, condensing the profiles of all the interviewees – from people to bookstores to organisations – to make a kind of alternative Yellow Pages for the Southeast Asian art scene.

Summary:
Pour sa 11e édition, Manif d'art – La biennale de Québec s’est inspirée de l’hiver et du sommeil de la terre pour s’intéresser à celui des humains et explorer les nuances multiples de l’éveil. Moments de latence, de transition, de pause, la saison froide et le sommeil ont en commun de suspendre la productivité, et de résister aux principes de l’exploitation des corps et des ressources. De ces alternances quotidiennes ou saisonnières, où les différentes espèces et leur environnement peuvent entrer en correspondance, dépendent la régénération du vivant, et aussi l’écoute, l’attention portée à la connaissance de soi et aux interactions avec d’autres formes de vie. Parce qu’il libère des forces intérieures incontrôlées et parfois décisives, parce qu’il altère nos réflexes et modifie nos perceptions, le sommeil a la capacité de modifier notre appréhension du monde.

Summary:
The narrative of Aalto’s design philosophy is a tale where buildings and design exist in perfect harmony with both nature and the people who inhabit them. This intent, which has assumed an entire new dimension of relevance in the decades since the years in which the Studio was active, is the founding principle and key point of interest around which the exhibition catalogue ''Aalto – Aino Alvar Elissa. The Human Dimension of Design'' revolves. In the Aalto vision, architecture, art, and design are inseparable components of a unified whole, at the centre of which lies the human being. Their buildings have become icons, influencing architects worldwide, while their design objects, aided by the Studio’s attention to low-cost mass production, have found places in many homes and are still in production today.
