Summary:
Envisageant le land art comme un contexte plutôt que comme un mouvement, cette étude prend pour sujet une mouvance qui vit, dans les années 60, les artistes sortir de l’atelier, du musée, de la galerie, pour investir des lieux autres, principalement extérieurs et souvent non-urbains. L’auteur montre ici comment les différentes formes de déplacement observées instituent le «monde réel» en tant qu’atelier. Comment aussi, en transformant le fait de «sortir» de l’atelier en une volonté de «partir» ailleurs, le voyage constitue une modalité particulière du déplacement.

Summary:
In the 15th century the ideas of the great Renaissance artists required the attentions of engineers and artisans to construct and explain the dynamics of their ambitious works. Leonardo da Vinci's helicopter was built in a studio; very probably his submarine was also built. Today that endeavour and enquiry is represented by Mike Smith, whose studio in the Old Kent Road in London furnishes the architecture for the most pressing installations and sculptures of young British artists. He is the carborundum that enables the best artists working in Britain today to realize their work - Rachel Whiteread's monument in Trafalgar Square is a testament to his work. The painter Patsy Craig has unravelled the activities of the Mike Smith Studios, including the symbiosis of the studio with the process of creation of such artists as Damien Hirst, Mona Hatoum, Keith Tyson, Darren Almond and Mark Wallinger. She has collected from the Studio's archives, along with the detritus, the correspondence, notes, ideas, failures and successes of these and other artists at the studio. They are a diary and vade mecum of the construction of a significant theory in current British art. It is an assembly of the very templates of the thinking, design and creation of art in Britain today.

Summary:
"Camera" est le fruit d'une collaboration entre l'architecte Chang Yung Ho, le vidéaste Yang Fudong et l'artiste multimédia Wang Jian Wei deux artistes contemporains chinois. Au travers du rapport de l'architecture et de la vidéo, l’exposition du MAMVP voudrait encourager le spectateur à expérimenter de nouvelles formes de présentation de l'image dans l'espace. Se fondant sur la métaphore de la “ camera ” en tant que chambre ou appareil, Chang Yung Ho a conçu quatre modules architecturaux, salles de projection, dans lesquelles les visiteurs regardent et sont regardés. À chaque espace correspond une marque d'appareil photographique -Polaroid, Leica, Nikon, et Seagull- faisant ainsi référence à différentes zones géographiques - respectivement les Etats-Unis, l'Allemagne, le Japon et la Chine. Pour chaque module, l'architecte a travaillé avec des matériaux différents : la tôle pour Leica, le plexiglas transparent pour Polaroid, le bois, le métal et les miroirs pour Nikon et le papier de riz pour Seagull. Les œuvres vidéo inédites de Yang Fudong et Wang Jian Wei ont été conçues spécialement pour les modules dans lesquels elles sont projetées. Ces deux artistes vivant à Shangaï et à Pékin, s'inspirent des transformations de la société chinoise contemporaine. Entretiens avec Hans-Ulrich Obrist. Textes de Hou Hanru, Laurent Gutierrez, Valérie Portefaix, Michel Nuridsany, Charles Merewether.

Summary:
Vito Acconci's Mur Island in Graz forges a closer bond between life on the river and in the two halves of the city. The book introduces the artist-architect and his project. It seems as if a UFO has landed in the middle of Graz: an organic form, evoking a half shell or a snail's shell, is floating on the Mur river as an artificial island, connected by piers to both river banks. The steel construction was designed by the American-born architect-artist Vito Acconci, based on the idea of Robert Punkenhofer, a native of Graz, and realized within the scope of Graz 2003: Kulturhauptstadt Europas. Acconci Island, consisting of various interlocking surfaces with flowing transitions, houses an amphitheatre, a café and a playground. Large parts of its outer stainless-steel skin reflect the city; acrylic fibre, glass, steel grids and peepholes provide a view onto the water and the banks, while the transparent materials make the building look weightless. The result is a breathtaking, technically sophisticated avant-garde piece of architecture that refuses categorization. The book documents the different stages of the design, and places sketches and computer simulations next to remarkable photographs of models as well as shots of the finished island. An interview with Vito Acconci and a presentation of the diverse work by the Acconci Studio round off the book.

Summary:
Douzième titre de la collection " l'atelier du sculpteur ", le catalogue Paysages d'entre-villes est consacré à la question du paysage contemporain, aux limites de la ville et de la nature sauvage dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler les terrains vagues, les territoires périphériques, les friches. Autan de paysage dont le lien direct avec nos craintes inconscientes n'a rien à envier aux paysages extrêmes des romantiques. C'est dans les zones périphériques que l'on trouve aujourd'hui les mystères, les légendes, les frayeurs qui, autrefois, hantaient les forêts aux abords des villes et des villages. C'est cet équilibre instable et dynamique du paysage qu'abordent les artistes réunis dans le catalogue de cette exposition en confrontation avec la série "Sculpture pour l'architecture" que Zadkine a réalisée dans la deuxième moitié des années 1960.

Summary:
Recalling the short-lived Bureau de recherches surréalistes of 1924–1925 - part information centre and ‘public relations’ office, and part surrealist archive - Mark Dion has trawled the Manchester Museum’s own collections and found the raw material for this book and a new installation in the museum. Museums’ attempts to classify and present the world in miniature inevitably mean that much of their collections are forgotten and marginalized. Renowned for his work exploring taxonomy, archaeology and ecology, Mark Dion in his "Bureau" documents his opportunistic encounters with the Museum of Manchester’s neglected drawers and overlooked recesses that are home to redundant labels, orphaned mounts, defunct teaching models, botanical freaks, Egyptian fakes and the minutiae that have fallen through the cracks of museum practice and lain abandoned. Dion’s "Bureau of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and its Legacy" is both a repository for the detritus of museum life and a working process, classifying the museum’s un-classifiable whilst exploring the bureaucratic workings of the institution.
