La collection d'œuvres d'artistes en lien avec l'architecture et de projets d'architectes du Frac Centre-Val de Loire, comme un récit des origines : une relecture des fondements sur lesquels se construit l'expérimentation architecturale depuis le début des années 1950. 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.

Summary:
Over the past 50 years, drawing has been elevated from a supporting role to a primary medium, ranking alongside painting as a central art form. 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.

Summary:
Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731) was a celebrated Dutch anatomist, master embalmer, and museologist. He is best remembered today for strange tableaux, crafted from fetal skeletons and other human remains, that flicker provocatively at the edges of science, art, and memento mori. Ruysch exhibited these pieces, along with hundreds of other artful specimens, in his home museum and catalogued them in his lavishly illustrated ''Thesaurus Anatomicus.'' This book offers the first English translation of Ruysch's guide to his collection, along with all the illustrations from the original volume, photographs of some his most imaginative extant specimens, and more.
