Summary:
Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making. In this book, curator Barbara London traces the history of video art as it transformed into the broader field of media art - from analog to digital, small TV monitors to wall-scale projections, and clunky hardware to user-friendly software. In doing so, she reveals how video evolved from fringe status to be seen as one of the foremost art forms of today.

Avec Arkhè, l'architecture est définie à l'aune des mythes fondateurs : le Jardin d'Éden, la Hutte, le Monument, le Feu, le Tissage et l'Antre maternel. Les mouvements d'architecture radicale et expérimentale, depuis les années 1960 à nos jours, apparaissent comme l'ultime tentative de faire que toute pensée de l'architecture soit un processus pour reconsidérer la discipline, non plus comme l'art de bâtir le futur, mais celui de réécrire l'histoire de la discipline depuis ses origines.

Since the publication of ''Vitamin D'' (2005) and ''Vitamin D2'' (2013), contemporary artists have continued to explore drawing's possibilities - from intimate to large-scale works, in a diversity of mark-making processes and materials. ''Vitamin D3'' showcases more than 100 such artists, nominated by more than 70 international art experts. The more than 100 artists include: Miriam Cahn, Robert Crumb, Tom Friedman, Tania Kovats, Claudette Johnson, Rashid Johnson, Otobong Nkanga, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Deanna Petherbridge, Christina Quarles, Qiu Zhijie, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Wael Shawky, Emma Talbot, and Johanna Unzueta.

Summary:
L'ouvrage présente un travail autour de l'exposition Offrir des Fleurs dans le cadre de la Bourse Agora du Curateur (Agora du Design). Ceci n'est pas un catalogue. Cet ouvrage est pensé comme un outil de lecture, une continuité avec l'exposition. Cette base de données est une proposition curatoriale, axée sur une recherche rassemblant des témoignages, des textes, des entretiens, des photographies et des objets. Et si offrir des fleurs permettait de parler de design autrement ? Cette exploration curatoriale met en avant un format d'exposition capable de recevoir un contenu sensible, celui de témoignages (tmg.) relatant cette action. Du point de vue du donneur ou du receveur, ce contenu est le centre de notre attention. Ces derniers forment le noyau dur de l'exposition et de ce catalogue. À travers cette récolte variée, nous pouvons déchiffrer des systématismes, regroupés. Le panel d'acteurs est le plus large possible : classes sociales, cultures et professions confondues, interrogé entre décembre 2020 et mars 2021. Nous l'avons complété d'une recherche de contenus et d'objets relatant une dimension affective et d'échange représentant la fleur ou sa production (obj. – timbres, cartes et monnaie), ainsi qu'un reportage photographique (img. – photographies) et d'un ensemble de textes et d'entretiens (txt. – entretiens et commandes), auprès de producteurs, transformateurs de la fleur, mais aussi de curateurs et de designers. Un travail de retranscriptions met en corrélation des moments / histoires communes et leurs différences. Cette récolte permet de constituer des sujets (suj.) emboîtés où chacun des éléments de cette base de données prennent sens. Cette réponse curatoriale se veut être non circonscrite, ouverte et surtout non exhaustive.

Du Grand Architecte de l'Univers, de l'homme de Néandertal ou d'Imhotep, qui est le premier architecte ? Depuis le XVIIe siècle, les clichés perdurent : "Qui bastit ment. Il n'a pas bien pris ses mesures." Le cinéma enfonce le clou : Fernandel oublie les toilettes de monsieur le maire, tandis que Jamel Debbouze, alias Numérobis, pose la mosaïque d'un atrium avant de s'occuper des évacuations. L'architecte ne laisse pas indifférent. Personnage de roman ou de film, de bande dessinée ou de jeu pour enfants, à la une des journaux et des magazines, en timbre ou billet de banque, il est l'un des hérauts de notre temps. Perruqué ou poudré, en redingote ou en T-shirt noir, affublé de ses tés, compas ou ordinateurs, seul ou aux côtés de ses commanditaires, l'architecte dévoile ses multiples facettes dans ce livre, immortalisé par les plus grands peintres, graveurs, sculpteurs, photographes, illustrateurs et réalisateurs.

Summary:
Nunatsiavut, the Inuit region of Canada that achieved self-government in 2005, produces art that is distinct within the world of Canadian and circumpolar Inuit art. The world's most southerly population of Inuit, the coastal people of Nunatsiavut have always lived both above and below the tree line, and Inuit artists and craftspeople from Nunatsiavut have had access to a diverse range of Arctic and Subarctic flora and fauna, from which they have produced a stunningly diverse range of work. Artists from the territory have traditionally used stone and woods for carving; fur, hide, and sealskin for wearable art; and saltwater seagrass for basketry, as well as wool, metal, cloth, beads, and paper. In recent decades, they have produced work in a variety of contemporary art media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, video, and ceramics, while also working with traditional materials in new and unexpected ways. ''SakKijâjuk: Art and craft from Nunatsiavut'' is the first major publication on the art of the Labrador Inuit. Designed to accompany a major touring exhibition organized by The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery of St. John's, the book will feature more than 80 reproductions of work by 45 different artists, profiles of the featured artists, and a major essay on the art of Nunatsiavut by Heather Igloliorte.

This book (and the exhibition it accompanies) is the first comprehensive survey of the artist's need to roam and the work that emerges from this need. Wanderlust presents the work of under-recognized yet pioneering artists alongside their well-known counterparts, and represents works that vary in process, with some artists working as solitary figures implanting themselves physically on the landscape while others perform and create movements in a collaborative manner or in public.

Summary:
Addressing the maniacal, eccentric, and disorienting in artworks made between 1950 and 1980, "Delirious" situates a fascination with the absurd and irrational within the context of the violence and brutality witnessed during World War II as well as the rapid expansion of industrial capitalism in the 1950s. Skepticism of science and technology—along with fear of its capability to promote mass destruction—developed into a distrust of rationalism, which in the arts had the paradoxical result of extracting irrational effects from rational means. Disturbing and challenging, these works upended traditional notions of aesthetic harmony.
