Summary:
The Soviet Union was founded on a fairytale. It was built on 20th-century magic called 'the planned economy', which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the penny-pinching lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. "Red Plenty" is about that moment in(...)

Summary:
The Soviet Union was founded on a fairytale. It was built on 20th-century magic called 'the planned economy', which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the penny-pinching lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. "Red Plenty" is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan, every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche and sputniks would lead the way to the stars. And it's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending.

L'anthologie bilingue Poètemoins d'Augusto de Campos regroupe un choix de poèmes à partir de ses trois recueils Viva Vaia (Viva Vivant), Despoesia (Dépoésie) et Nao Poemas (Non Poèmes), des mythiques Poetamenos de 1953 à ses dernières créations. L'ouvrage commence (couverture) par un hommage à Mallarmé, l'hologramme Poema Bomba, à partir d'une phrase citée par Sartre : «Il n'y a pas d'autre bombe qu'un poème» et se termine par une phrase de Mallarmé mise en page typographiquement à la manière concrétiste : «Des contemporains ne savent pas lire», en réponse à un reproche d'obscurité qu'on lui faisait. Cette traduction des principaux poèmes d'Augusto de Campos, le poète de São Paulo à l'origine en 1953, avec le poète suisse Eugen Gomringer, du mouvement international de la Poésie Concrète, a été réalisée à partir notamment des derniers recueils parus au Brésil, dont Não, Non. Les derniers poèmes (notamment présentés dans le cadre de la 11e Biennale de Lyon) sont en fait des fichiers informatiques conçus comme des œuvres. La question posée est celle de la modernité en écriture. Augusto de Campos nous renvoie à cette modernité initiée en France par le Coup de Dés de Mallarmé ou les Idéogrammes lyriques d'Apollinaire. Un poème pose la question de la post avant-garde : Pós-tudo, Post-tout. Avec le mot «MUDO», à la fois «je change» et «muet». L'usage de l'ordinateur comme médium ouvre de nouvelles possibilités à cette avant-garde. Ce qui n'empêche pas le livre, comme en témoigne cet objet, impossible à réaliser sans l'ordinateur. Préface et traductions : Jacques Donguy.

Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity’s Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce’s Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

Summary:

Hailing from 11 countries, each of the 14 artists who have contributed to Automatic Cities engage the psychological and sociopolitical aspects of architecture through their work, mapping the influence of the architectural imaginary on contemporary visual art. The book is organized into four thematic groupings. Matthew Buckingham, Ann Lislegaard and Paul Noble treat architecture's relationship to language; "Architecture and Memory" includes installations by Saskia Olde Wolbers, Hiraki Sawa and Rachel Whiteread; "Architecture as Model" encompasses installations by Michael Borremans, Los Carpinteros, Catharina van Eetvelde and Katrin Sigurdardottir; and the theme of surveillance is explored by Jakob Kolding, Sarah Oppenheimer, Julie Mehretu and Matthew Ritchie.

This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalonian cultural history; in other words, it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space : comics, theatre, film, ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general.
