Summary:
"Staging the Moon: Resource extraction beyond Earth" is a publication of the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2023. It critically unpacks Luxembourg’s role in space-mining developments from the perspective of resources. Curators Francelle Cane and Marija Mari? transform the pavilion into a "lunar laboratory": a space for testing human technologies on the Moon that also doubles as a media studio "staging" corporate narratives of positive change. From the development of human settlements on the Moon to the mining of asteroids for rare minerals and metals, the wild imaginaries of extraction-driven growth have, quite literally, transcended the boundaries of Earth. This volume collects essays and fragments of research on the shifting of resource exploitation from the exhausted Earth to its celestial hinterland, and begins an urgent debate on the impact this shift will have on our understanding of land, resources and commons.

Price:

Summary:
This anthology is a critical reflection on the making of Soil Lab, a project built with a community in North Lawndale, Chicago, and hosted by the Danish Arts Foundation at the 2021 edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The pages give space to a conversation that stretches far outside both the confines of the Soil Lab’s site in North Lawndale and the short duration of the biennial. The book is a meeting place for the voices which contributed to the Soil Lab project, and maps their constellation of disciplines—across architecture, art, anthropology, ecology, craft and community work—and global geographies, including the US, Denmark, Ireland, Puerto Rico and Austria. The story of the project, and the many lives and threads that it brushed up against, is told through histories, criticism, photographic essays, instruction manuals, soil recipes and interviews.

Summary:
Exploring the infinite ways in which plastics permeate our bodies and our world, ''Everlasting Plastics'' offers intimate and political accounts of our fraught yet enmeshed kinship with these materials. Rather than making a case for or against the material, the writings and artworks collected in this volume attempt to register our ongoing toxic dependencies on plastic, its impact on other material cultures and behaviors, and the harm and possibilities it entangles for our collective futures. ''Everlasting Plastics'' records and expands upon the exhibition of the US Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale, which excavated the ways synthetics both shape and erode contemporary ecologies, economies, and the built environment.

Summary:
Le catalogue prospectif Carbone 20 met en exergue des pratiques artistiques qui font appel au collectif et font naître d’autres manières de faire. Il explore les réseaux visibles et invisibles, s’arrêtant sur des initiatives multiples et situées, de Saint-Étienne à sa région et jusqu’à l’international. Cet ouvrage rassemble des entretiens, des témoignages, des mises en perspectives historiques, des analyses d'expériences. Il est parsemé d'images liées à ces propositions et de scans de projets éditoriaux, comme autant d'entrées dans les pratiques auto-organisées. C’est une célébration de tentatives et de stratégies aux formes et aux engagements différents, dans ce présent où il n’y aurait pas d’alternatives, qui nous amène sans cesse à interroger positionnements, manières de circuler, de faire, d’agir et d’être ensemble notamment par le champ de l’art contemporain.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage examine en détail l’histoire du pavillon du Canada, construit en 1958 dans les jardins de la Biennale de Venise, les forces en présence lors de la réalisation du bâtiment et son utilisation depuis soixante ans pour la présentation et l’exposition d’artistes et d’architectes canadiens. Il s’agit non seulement de souligner l’importance du pavillon dans le contexte plus large de l’architecture moderne, mais aussi de mettre en lumière son rôle d’avant-poste de la diplomatie culturelle. L’apparat iconographique du livre est constitué de documents d’archives – photographies, dessins et cartes –, ainsi que d’un portfolio réalisé par des photographes contemporains (Francesco Barasciutti et Andrea Pertoldeo) qui montrent l’état du bâtiment avant, pendant et après les travaux de restauration de 2018. Les différentes contributions apportent un éclairage sur le contexte culturel et politique dans lequel s’est inscrite la commande du pavillon canadien (Cammie McAtee); la conception et la construction de la structure architecturale, ainsi que les relations avec l’architecte Enrico Peressutti et l’agence BBPR (Réjean Legault); la place du pavillon dans le contexte culturel italien de l’après-guerre (Serena Maffioletti); son retentissement, de l’inauguration en 1958 à la restauration de 2018 (Josée Drouin-Brisebois); le projet de restauration (Susanna Caccia Gherardine); et, enfin, le lien entre le pavillon du Canada et les jardins de la Biennale (Franco Panzini).
