Elle s'empare de bâtiments en voie de reconversion, réhabilitation ou disparition, de constructions en ruine, démolies ou abandonnées, et explore le passé, la mémoire, la conscience du lieu. Elle propose ainsi une lecture critique des modes de développement urbains et invite à reconquérir ces terrains vagues qui racontent l'histoire de la ville et jouent une fonction sociale, historique et poétique.

Summary:
The artist (born in 1961 in Madrid, resident in Chicago) has been creating multiform works that deal with social and political borderline situations for over a decade. His work demonstrates how certain powers and systems, whether natural or created by human beings, affect the world we live in. This is a comprehensive documentation of the exhibition The Krefeld suite: installations in the two Mies Villas in Krefeld. Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle , multimedia artist and Mies van der Rohe specialist, has created a cinematographic installation especially for the Krefeld Mies Villa, where he shows the relationship between their architecture and the “architecture” of icebergs. The installations are built around the theme of time in the dynamic relationship between prehistoric, historic and contemporary time.

Recapitulative publication about Le Magasin, Centre National d’Art Contemporain de Grenoble.

Summary:
Although known for his paintings and drawings, California artist Ed Ruscha has also attracted critical attention for his photography. A new exhibition and accompanying catalogue, "Ed Ruscha, photographer", depart from earlier books to explore how the artist’s different disciplines — painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography — are guided and shaped by a single vision. Ruscha’s relationship to photography is complex and ambivalent, and the work is difficult to define. He has referred to his photography as a “hobby” but from the outset it has drawn considerable critical interest. The small books of photographs that Ruscha produced in the sixties and seventies earned him a reputation as an underground artist among his peers, and have influenced subsequent generations of artists in Europe and North America. The photographs were snapshot size, with an amateurish quality that intrigued his contemporaries. Neither purely documentary nor solely artistic, their subject matter was stereotypical and banal, with motifs drawn from sites in Southern California or the western United States. This, combined with their serial presentation, created a mythical road-movie or photo-novel effect with Beat Generation innuendos and inspired interest among artists at a time when serial logic was prominent in Pop art and Minimalism, and later in Conceptual art. This volume is produced in conjunction with a traveling exhibition to be shown in Europe in 2006, organized by The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The exhibition photographs have been selected from the collections of the Whitney and the artist by independent curator Margit Rowell.

Summary:
Un coup d'œil attentif aux murs des grandes villes suffit à s'en convaincre : l'art a conquis la rue. Malgré l'interdiction proclamée par la République, affiches, pochoirs ou graffitis rehaussent de couleurs l'environnement des citadins. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau. Depuis quarante ans, des plasticiens questionnent la ville et y exposent leurs œuvres. Aujourd'hui cependant, une nouvelle génération d'artistes, dont beaucoup ont grandi le Posca à la main, revisite l'esthétique de la rue. Après l'effervescence des années 80 et la répression des années 90, cette " nouvelle vague " marie les techniques, multiplie les supports et développe un langage plastique original en marge des circuits officiels. C'est à un panorama de l'art urbain que In Situ nous convie. L'ouvrage revient sur l'apparition et le développement de cette mouvance foisonnante et dresse un état des lieux des pratiques. Les artistes y racontent leur parcours, expliquent leur démarche, analysent et commentent un mode d'expression dont la vitalité séduit les citadins.
