Summary:
« Jeu de construction » rend compte, sous la forme d’un journal d’exposition, des méthodes de travail et des influences de l’artiste et illustrateur Paul Cox. Écrit presque quotidiennement pendant toute la durée d’une exposition qui s’est tenue au Centre Pompidou, ce texte donne une vision de l’intérieur sur la manière de concevoir une oeuvre artistique. Sur un ton sobre et humoristique, qui n’en demeure pas moins érudit, Paul Cox donne ici à voir la diversité des références qu’il convoque. D’Hippolyte Taine à Hans Christian Andersen en passant par Paul Klee et Charles et Ray Eames, les nombreuses inspirations qui nourrissaient déjà cet artiste transversal et pluridisciplinaire permettent de comprendre le travail de celui qui est aujourd’hui devenu un acteur majeur des scènes culturelles françaises et internationales.

Summary:
This book features over 160 ink and pencil drawings by Christoph Niemann, each a story of an unfamiliar place. They are observations on traveling, arriving and immersing oneself, on the melancholy of being on the road and the adventure of discovering new destinations—among them New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Seville and Kyoto. Regardless of their subjects, these are all sketches that grasp the magic, light and mood of a place in a handful of virtuoso strokes. In Niemann’s own words: "Over time memories change. Most things fade, while others become more significant. Connections arise that one wasn’t aware of originally. Sometimes a drawing can capture all this in a new and surprising way. And with some luck, the picture feels as authentic as the moment itself."

Summary:
'Twin Mirror' is a publication of two new short stories: small parables in comics form. These dream sequences are in deliberate contrast to one another. The first story is set in the titular 'Hermetic Library', in which we stumble upon a seemingly ever-expanding room, the walls of which are completely covered with untitled books. The second story, 'Synopsis', deals with the elemental fear of the white page. The work in 'Twin Mirrors' is a minimalist affair: the comics herein are strictly handmade, using only traditional tools (i.e. nib pens, manga screentone foil, Letraset and Mecanorma lettering).

Ceci n’est pas un livre sur la bande dessinée abstraite. La conjonction « et » dans « Bande dessinée et abstraction » est fondamentale. Elle signale notre intention d’explorer l’entre-deux en combinant ce qui d’emblée pourrait sembler hétérogène : des bandes dessinées aux esthétiques nettement différentes, des textes usant de perspectives clairement distinctes.

Summary:
Ceci n’est pas un livre sur la bande dessinée abstraite. La conjonction « et » dans « Bande dessinée et abstraction » est fondamentale. Elle signale notre intention d’explorer l’entre-deux en combinant ce qui d’emblée pourrait sembler hétérogène : des bandes dessinées aux esthétiques nettement différentes, des textes usant de perspectives clairement distinctes. Le « et » est un moyen de rencontre et, dans ce cas, il désigne une interaction entre bande dessinée et abstraction telle que les deux en sortent mutuellement refigurés.
