Summary:
Depuis deux décennies, le dessin suscite un intérêt grandissant auprès du public, des institutions et des artistes. Dépassant le cadre de l’esquisse et du croquis, il constitue un art à part entière et se déploie sur de multiples surfaces. Présentant le travail de 80 artistes — femmes et hommes — contemporains, Barbara Soyer dresse dans ce livre un panorama surprenant et varié du médium. L’ouvrage multiplie les approches et donne de l’espace à des voix plurielles, qui traduisent la liberté et la richesse du dessin contemporain. Dessins préparatoires, autonomes, figuratifs, abstraits, quasi photographiques, picturaux, en volume, en noir et blanc ou en couleurs ; travaux à l’encre, au pastel, à l’aquarelle ou à la gouache ; œuvres sur papier, toile, carton, mur ou textile : les créations dévoilées dans ce livre disent toutes quelque chose de ce que sont le dessin et le monde d’aujourd’hui.

Summary:
The "architectural imaginary" describes architecture in its broadest sense: images of cities drawn from collective experience and imagination. 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.

Summary:
For the past thirteen years, Autocenter has put its stamp on Berlin’s contemporary arts scene. Founded in 2001 by Maik Schierloh and Joep van Liefland in a former auto body shop in Berlin-Friedrichshain, Autocenter has become an indispensable fixture of the city’s arts scene and one of its most important venues. In March 2013, Autocenter moved to Berlin’s Mitte district, where it continues to present exhibitions and projects by German and international artists in rapid succession. The 160 shows featuring work by more than 750 artists have always been transient affairs — in the early years, most exhibitions were on display for a mere two day. The book is a survey of the artists who visited or moved to Berlin in the past thirteen years and shows how contemporary art changed over time. Autocenter has not only been a keen observer of the city’s arts scene, it also helped shape its evolution.
