Le livre explore les relations entre l'architecture et les engins plus légers ou plus lourds que l'air : ballons, dirigeables, avions... Des historiens, des architectes, des photographes rendent compte de l'apport de la photographie aérienne; notent l'influence de l'esthétique des avions sur l'architecture; examinent l'évolution des premiers hangars vers les aérodromes d'aujourd'hui; analysent les répercussions de la vision élevée depuis la Tour Eiffel et les premiers aéroplanes sur l'art moderne et sur des artistes comme Blaise Cendrars, Guillaume Apollinaire, Hans Arp, Kasimir Malevitch... Enfin le livre expose quelques travaux du plus aérien des artistes contemporains, l'anversois Panamarenko (nom d'artiste composé à partir de l'abréviation de "Pan American Airlines and company"). En 1967, celui-ci construit son premier avion qui inaugure une longue série d'objets volants conservés aujourd'hui dans les plus grands musées d'art contemporain.

Summary:
SYSTEMS gives the first comprehensive overview of Jeanne van Heeswijk’s socially engaged artistic practice from the past decade. The book presents models for the design of social spaces as well as directions for the analysis of social structures. The first chapter is dedicated to the games people play. Games are rehearsals of social interactions; they simulate reality and are open to experimentation; their rules establish limits within which freedom of action is possible. The second chapter investigates rooms people inhabit, i.e. the urban structures of social cohabitation. Here, external reference points of social conditioning can be found. The third chapter deals with the communities people create, as structures of individual, artistic positioning. With texts by Carlos Basualdo, Marjolein Schaap and Axel Lapp.

Summary:
Author and artist Edmund de Waal gives us an intimate narrative history of his lifelong obsession with porcelain, or 'white gold.' A potter who has been working with porcelain for more than forty years, de Waal describes how he set out on five journeys to places where porcelain was dreamed about, refined, collected and coveted - and that would help him understand the clay's mysterious allure. From his studio in London, he starts by travelling to three 'white hills' - sites in China, Germany and England that are key to porcelain's creation. But his search eventually takes him around the globe and reveals more than a history of cups and figurines; rather, he is forced to confront some of the darkest moments of twentieth-century history.

Summary:
Agnes Martin (1912–2004) wrote Religion of Love, a late statement on her work and thought, sometime in the 1990s. Composed of short, aphoristic statements and paragraphs, it lucidly states her art credo and life advice: "Love makes us want to do all the good things. Get up in the morning and work for life." "The part of the mind that's aware of perfection tells us everything that is good." "You can contact the mind by asking for help." Somewhat uncharacteristically, Martin asked her friend Richard Tuttle to illustrate it. As Tuttle writes in his introduction, "on the one hand, it reconfirms her most classical thought (Beauty is the mystery of life), and, on the other, adds new thought with an urgency only found in a mature artist of her age and persuasion." This beautiful, slim volume constitutes both an important artist's statement and a great collaboration.

Summary:
Well known for his radical "anarchitectural" interventions throughout the 1970s, Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–78) was always deeply, though less publicly, committed to drawing. His works on paper—which span three-dimensional reliefs, calligraphy and notebook entries—capture the interdisciplinary spirit that defined the art world in the 1970s, testifying to his interest in the crossovers between visual and performance arts. ''Gordon Matta-Clark: The Beginning of Trees and the End'', was published on the occasion of the 2015 show at David Zwirner, New York, and documents his extraordinary accomplishment as a draftsman.

Summary:
Gordon Matta-Clark died at only 35 of pancreatic cancer and has since become a cult figure of late 20th-century art. Trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the field’s conventions in vivid projects—performance and recycling pieces, space and texture works and word games—some of which excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New York City alleys and curbs. The artist used a variety of media to document his work, including film, video and photography. His work and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an "artist’s artist," and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention and affection, were always also grounded in social or political convictions. In the early 1970s, Matta-Clark developed the idea of "anarchitecture," which encompassed his interest in voids, gaps and left-over spaces. Gordon Matta-Clark: Experience Becomes the Object collects five essays and ten individual interviews with various friends and family members of Matta-Clark’s. Together, they outline a biographical profile and offer an analysis of the historical period in which the artist developed his short but successful career. New, never-before-published material and photographs as well as an exclusive link to the documentary Crosswords: Matta-Clark’s Friends by Matias Cardone are also included.
