Summary:
David Senior, bibliographer at the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York, selected a wide range of exhibition-related ephemera – invitations, flyers and posters from the 1960s to the present – and presents them here as an historically overlooked but integral aspect of exhibitions. Often the first point of contact between the audience and artist, such items form part of an essential lexicon for graphic designers, curators, art historians and anyone interested in the event-based nature of showing art. Filled with full-colour reproductions of numerous examples from the MoMA collection, the book includes new essays and analysis by Angie Keefer, Clive Phillpot and Will Holder, among others.

Summary:
Mecanoo’s founder and creative director, Francine Houben, believes that public buildings are the social and cultural heart of society and states: “Public buildings need public space and should be welcoming to everybody.” The prime example of this vision is the Library of Birmingham, one of the largest libraries in Europe at the city’s main Centenary Square. Mecanoo aimed to design a building that is inviting welcoming and inspiring for people of all ages and backgrounds - a real public building that also creates an outdoor public space. The circular amphitheatre in the square reveals a glimpse of the inner library world to the public and sets the tone as a performance space.

Summary:
Dans une indifférence quasi générale, notre planète entre dans une phase d'extinction de masse causée par l'homme, la sixième depuis que la vie s'est diversifiée sur Terre il y a de cela 500 millions d'années. Surexploitation des ressources, surconsommation, suroffre, surcapacités technologiques, changement climatique, déforestation... les hommes se livrent à une destruction massive des écosystèmes à l'échelle planétaire, et notre mode de développement condamne probablement une espèce toutes les 20 minutes. Quels sont les mécanismes et les causes principales de l'extinction des espèces ? Que peut-on attendre des agendas politiques ? Faut-il promouvoir une écologie de combat ou une écologie de la réconciliation qui replace l'homme au sein de la nature ? Comment éviter ou limiter cette sixième extinction ? Pour comprendre les enjeux de cette crise majeure, un écologue, un biologiste marin, un spécialiste en gestion et économie de l'environnement et une philosophe de l'environnement nous invitent à leur table. Au fil de leurs connaissances, de leurs craintes mais aussi de leurs espoirs, ils nous apportent un éclairage scientifique et citoyen sur la sixième extinction de masse, la première de l'Anthropocène.
