Summary:
The woven/Intersected/Reciewed series, gathering preparatory material, documentation on the works, and essays by critics or the artists themselves, these volumes contribute a discussion around commissioning, the notions of public vs. private collection, and the relationship between artists and patrons. Liam Gillick’s book shows the realization of his designs in conference rooms, corridors, and offices, coinciding with his sustained interest in the negotiation of a middle ground between corporate culture and contemporary art. The volume is accompanied by an artist’s essay discussing the dissolution of the public/private dichotomy into a grey zone of semi-public/semi-private spheres.

Summary:
The work of Dutch artist Bart Lodewijks takes him out of the studio and into the city, its streets and neighbourhoods. His enigmatic yet beautiful repetitions of straight chalk lines, drawn using a spirit level on walls, buildings, stairways, and sidewalks, are a fleeting testament to the challenges and interactions the artist experiences during his working process. In 2010 and 2013, Lodewijks spent some months in Rio de Janeiro, searching for suitable locations for his drawings. Local residents led him to places that were scenes of everyday life, mundane yet with a special character. Much of the time he frequented a small favela, about which he has written a story relating the life he discovered there.

Summary:
Une redécouverte du sculpteur Brancusi à travers sa recherche ascensionnelle de l'infini observée par la combinaison de son oeuvre plastique et les lois du hasard de la photographie. Une oeuvre photographique de tout premier plan dans l'histoire de la création au XXe siècle.Ses photographies semblent avoir joué un rôle essentiel dans ses recherches plastiques. Le sculpteur Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) a beaucoup photographié son oeuvre. Cette constatation amène l'auteur à proposer une vision renouvelée de l'oeuvre sculpté de l'artiste, mais aussi à reconnaître en lui un novateur en photographie. D'abord cantonnées dans le rôle de simples représentations de ses oeuvres, destinées à informer des amateurs lointains, les photographies prises par Brancusi assument peu à peu une fonction plus active : saisir au vol des assemblages passagers de socles et de sculptures, des rencontres éphémères entre telle et telle des figures qui peuplent ce théâtre qu'est aussi l'atelier, dont le sculpteur est le metteur en scène.

Summary:
The artists Cy Twombly and Sally Mann may at first seem an unlikely pairing. He was a leading contemporary artist who defied easy categorization, a painter and sculptor whose enigmatic work often referenced mythology and epic poetry. She is a photographer with an uncanny ability to tap raw human emotion, whether depicting members of her family or the landscape of the American South. What they had in common was place—both grew up in rural Lexington, Virginia, where Twombly kept a studio and produced some of his most important work until his death in 2011, and where Mann has lived and worked all her life.Over the course of several years, Mann photographed inside Twombly’s studio. The result is a rare insider’s view of Twombly’s process—we sense him in the room at every turn, although he is always just beyond the frame—and a poetic dialogue between two artistic visions.
