Summary:
This book examines the ways in which we experience proportion in our lives and the complex universe in which we live. Proportion-not only a question of numbers, but of balance-emerges in this volume as a universal human pursuit. Throughout the course of known human history, the knowledge of proportions has been applied across civilizations for thousands of years. The sophisticated knowledge of sacred geometry was considered closely linked to secretive spiritual wisdom and religious traditions. This volume connects these ancient notions to works by artists such as Le Corbusier, Albrecht Dürer, Sol LeWitt, Anselm Kiefer, Tomas Saraceno, Marina Abramovi c, Anish Kapoor and Michaël Borremans. Beautifully produced and presenting objects drawn from art, nature, physics, economics, history, science, music, medicine and many other sources, "Proportio" uncovers the natural patterns that are used to organize and create the material world.

Summary:
Catalogue de la 9e Biennale d'art contemporain de Lyon (19 septembre 2007 – 6 janvier 2008), conçu suivant les principes qui régissent la programmation de la manifestation organisée par Stéphanie Moisdon et Hans Ulrich Obrist. Cet ouvrage relève à la fois du jeu, de la cartographie et de l'expérience d'une écriture collective. Pensé comme un livre d'histoire et de géographie de l'art contemporain, il est le résultat d'une série d'investigations et de programmations des concepteurs de la manifestation et de Thierry Raspail. Réunissant 70 « joueurs » du monde entier (artistes, critiques et commissaires d'exposition) répartis entre deux cercles selon le type d'intervention demandé, le projet s'est développé autour d'une question centrale : « Comment définir la décennie actuelle ? ». S'il était proposé au premier cercle de choisir de choisir des réponses parmi ce que les artistes produisent aujourd'hui, il était demandé aux joueurs du second cercle de séquencer leurs choix ou de les confronter à d'autres. L'ensemble de ces subjectivités, cadrées par quelques règles de présentation (qui ? pourquoi ? comment ?), participent ici à un exercice de délimitation, de détourage et de recadrage d'une décennie et d'un objet – l'art – dont le tracé est de plus en plus indispensable. La publication s'accompagne d'essais inédits de et d'entretiens avec Mehdi Belhaj-Kacem, Stefano Boeri, François Cusset, Okwui Enwezor, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Jappe, Paul Veyne et Ralph Rugoff.
