Summary:
After living for several years in the chaos of influences that is New York, the visual artist Satoshi Tsuchiyama realized that it is Israel that is the world’s hub for contemporary dance. His experiences of working with both dance and Jewish artefacts fused together. Questions arose in his head: Since the political situation has long been unstable in this religiously and culturally rich region, what kind of normal everyday life can be found there? What colours and scents does a country like this retain, and how do the dancers appear and move under the influence of an environment like this? He decided to go there to witness the extraordinary on a daily basis. During his four visits to Israel and Palestine in 2017–19, he wandered in scorching sand and graffiti-filled streets, climbed to the collapsing top floor of the art school. He followed the desires of his eyes. The dancers he met came from all over the world, but they seemed to share the same mood, the same force that oozed out of the ground. And one and the same aura accompanied their bodies in a common direction. He avoided all the areas at high risk of terror, but death and the random character of life were present wherever he went. The energy of the inhabitants to survive was strong, and he experienced a singular beauty in this raw, tough and vulnerable ordeal of perseverance and adaptation.

Pour souligner les dix ans d'Elektra, événement international d'arts numériques, Angles arts numériques propose trois textes, trois auteurs qui ont chacun développé une réflexion à partir d'aspects et de concepts qui sont liés, différemment mais étroitement, aux enjeux d'Elektra. En ce sens, il paraissait stimulant de provoquer cette rencontre entre un point de vue théorique portant sur le concept de tra(ns)-duction, lequel au surplus, est «informé» par la pratique (Chatonsky), une perspective historique qui aborde différents événements d'arts médiatiques (Bonin) et l'essai littéraire, où le principe métaphorique de la machine est l'élément moteur de la réflexion (Canty).

Map is not a magazine (it only has two pages) and is not a book (it is issued twice a year). Map presents itself as a folded poster (A1) where information is immediate, dense and objective in one side, and architectural and subjective on the other. Map is a guide to potential actions in the built environment, a folded encyclopedia of the possible, a topography of ideas, or a poster on the wall.

Summary:
D'où vient-il que la ruine au cinéma exerce un attrait, au point de vouloir lui consacrer du temps, un livre, et penser qu'un quelconque lecteur puisse vouloir y accorder son attention ? Peut-être est-ce parce que la ruine, telle qu'elle s'incarne au cinéma, que ce soit comme décombres de guerre ou vestiges antiques, chantier désaffecté ou lambeau de pellicule rescapé, exacerbe ce lien mélancolique, quasi ontologique, qui nous attache au temps et à la mémoire du cinéma (c'est-à-dire, comme le dirait Daney, à " la promesse d'un monde "): présence d'une absence, insaisissable trop tard, toujours-déjà passé, en train de disparaître. Ce brillant essai s'intéresse ainsi à décrire ces moments de cinéma où le temps, sous diverses modalités, apparaît de manière sensible, en tant qu'expérience. Ces pages décrivent moins une histoire en bonne et due forme de la ruine au cinéma, qu'un parcours subjectif de fragments disparates qui constitue un programme possible et très partiel de cet attrait.

Summary:
Conditions is a new Scandinavian magazine focusing on the conditions of architecture and Urbanism. Presenting new perspectives, in the way of conceiving and analyzing designs, works and theory for architecture. In pre-modern epochs, renewal of practice was always initiated by looking backwards, as a return to the fundamentals. The cult of the new/young first came with modernity. Are young offices still obsessed with the ideas of idols, former employers and teachers? Or are young practices in architecture today considered to be especially innovative? Are they generating new knowledge or just recycling winning formulas? If truly innovative new practices still exist, from what fields of knowledge do they get their input?

Summary:
Materialism continues the commitment of our first two issues on Property and Service to examine foundational yet overlooked concepts in architecture and landscape architecture. In our estimation, these disciplines are haunted by materialism. We see its specular presence invoked in design research’s emphasis on large-scale flows and sites of material production, in the renewed focus on ‘performance’ and the rehabilitation of functionalism, in the centrality of ‘material’ as an expressive layer of tectonics, and through the import of non-human actors into discussions about spatial design. Each of the above invokes matter as its base.
