Summary:
Published in conjunction with Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive’s inaugural exhibition in its landmark new building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Architecture of Life explores the ways that architecture—as concept, metaphor, and practice—illuminates various aspects of life experience: the nature of the self and psyche, the fundamental structures of reality, and the power of the imagination to reshape our world. The sweeping exhibition comprises over 150 works of art in a wide range of media, as well as scientific illustrations and architectural drawings and models, all of which are reproduced in full color in the catalog. International in scope, Architecture of Life presents work by artists Yuri Ancarani, George Ault, Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois, Marcel Duchamp, Léon Ferrari, Suzan Frecon, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Johannes Itten, Kimsooja, Fernand Léger, Tomás Saraceno; architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Buckminster Fuller, Frederick Kiesler, Toyo Ito, Lebbeus Woods; scientists Wilson Bentley, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Viktor Schauberger; and composer Iannis Xenakis, among many others. The exhibition also includes Mbuti barkcloth drawings, Pomo baskets, Micronesian navigational charts, Tibetan meditation mandalas, and tantric drawings from Rajasthan.

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.

Summary:
This book accompanies Saying It, an exhibition by artists Mieke Bal & Michelle Williams Gamaker and Renate Ferro at the Freud Museum, London, curated by Joanne Morra. Besides images, and descriptions of the works in the exhibition written by the artists themselves, the book contains new essays by Cathy Caruth, Marjorie Garber, Miguel Á. Hernández-Navarro, Ranjana Khanna and Joanne Morra, as well as a foreword by Carol Seigel, Director of the Freud Museum. Together, the artists’ words and those of the other authors underscore the significance of Saying It as what Morra terms a ‘site-responsive’ exhibition : not only do Bal & Williams Gamaker and Ferro shed light on key concepts of psychoanalysis (psychosis, transference, screen memories), but they reveal new layers of narrative and meaning enfolded in the site where their work is displayed, namely the former home of Anna and Sigmund Freud, now a world-renowned museum and archive.

Summary:
The third volume in the series of urban readers centres around the term synergy and uses the internet as an artificial urban space connecting the makers and the contributors. This issue is team work. People who live in different cities, countries, and even continents work together without meeting in person. Synergies exist when different elements interact and produce a result that any individual part could not achieve alone. This book, as a combined whole aims at supporting the assumption that the generated synergy is more than just the sum of its parts.

Summary:
Gutai: Splendid Playground surveys the influential Japanese collective and artistic movement. This exhibition catalogue aims to demonstrate the range of bold and innovative creativity present in the avant-garde movement, to examine the aesthetic strategies in the cultural, social and political context of postwar Japan and the West, and to further establish Gutai in an expanded, transnational history and critical discourse of modern art. Organized thematically and chronologically to explore Gutai’s unique approach to materials, concepts, process, performativity and enviroment, this publication investigates the group’s radical experimentation across a range of media and styles, and demonstrates how individual artists pushed the limits of what art could be or mean in a post-atomic era. The range includes painting, conceptual art, performance, film, installation art, sound art, interactive art, light art and kinetic art.
