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.

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:
This publication unfolds an inside view of the installation by Elizabeth Hatz at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It shows how the installation has been made using 133 pigmented prints of original drawings from Drawing Matter in Somerset, ArkDes in Stockholm, the architects' private archives and a large hand drawing by Hatz on a specially designed table-bench. The fold-out cover illustrates the room's four walls, each of which organise four concept-sets relating to the Biennale theme of Freespace: Ground–Floor, Temple–Shed, Niche–Stoa and Mind–Space. The full-sized colour plates inside show in more detail the collage of drawings on each wall, illustrating how the printing process allowed Hatz to orchestrate the size as well as position of each drawing within these exploratory fields. Hatz's accompanying essay invokes the spatial experience created by the room-drawings and the rich conversations they capture.

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).
