Can the nonlinear and poly vocal form of the art biennial—distinctly different from that of historical museums and academia—provide an experimental testing ground for publicly processing the past and reimagining the future?

Summary:
This book explores how artists and curators evoke the past as a part of the present within the framework of contemporary art biennials. Can the nonlinear and poly vocal form of the art biennial—distinctly different from that of historical museums and academia—provide an experimental testing ground for publicly processing the past and reimagining the future? Conceived as a resource for the fields of art and exhibition studies, as well as for readers interested in history and social change, the book includes reflections on artistic and curatorial strategies, from Lagos to Prishtina and from Venice to Gwangju. The 2019 and 2021 editions of the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art are featured as case-studies opening up for a wider discussion about the relationship between art and the production of historical consciousness.

Summary:
Ce catalogue est publié à l'occasion de la première Biennale d'Architecture et de Paysage d'Ile-de- France (Bap !) qui s’est tenue au sein de l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Versailles sous le commissariat scientifique de Djamel Klouche. Plus qu'un catalogue, « Augures, laboratoire des nouvelles pratiques architecturales », qui recueille textes et images sous la forme d'un abécédaire, est à considérer comme un dispositif complémentaire et parallèle de l'exposition. L'ouvrage cherche à problématiser la thématique des mutations de la ville à travers un dispositif de vis-à-vis entre deux moments, deux temps de l'histoire contemporaine de la Ville : le temps présent et le temps situé en 2050, association susceptible d'interroger le lecteur et de mettre en perspective les grandes questions du monde urbain actuel.

Summary:
This pack includes the four books of the main exhibitions of Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2022, curated by Diogo Burnay and Cristina Veríssimo. ''Cycles'': This book brings together contemporary architectural practices and artists reflecting upon the art of designing cycles, addressing the past and present of construction, relationships to the geopolitics of extractivism, and possible futures for the building industry. ''Multiplicity'': This book features the work of practices from across the globe experimenting in a myriad of ways with architecture. Often working in challenging environmental, social, and political conditions, these practitioners are pushing the boundaries of architectural practice. ''Retroactive'': Through eight essays focusing on pressing issues in the architectural and urban design fields, this book reflects on the challenges and opportunities in addressing broken cities, which fail to provide services and optimal liveable conditions to their inhabitants, and in which one third of humanity dwells. ''Visionaries'': The project ''Visionaries'' – an exhibition and a publication – explores both the process and agents of visionary design production in the age of the next grand narrative.
