Le capitalisme tardif nous a élus comme protagonistes ultimes de sa folle exubérance. Chacun porte, blotti en lui, un de ces petits messieurs bipolaires, tour à tour battants et exténués, qui prétendent encore à la puissance quand s’amoncellent autour d’eux les signes de leur propre déconfiture. La question qui se pose alors témoigne d’une inquiétude sans réponse. Qu’allons-nous faire de tous ces petits fétiches brisés ?

In issue 32 of Un Sedicesimo, Peteris Lidaka plays with aeroplanes, transforming traditional form and function. These colourful planes are fantastical aircraft, from a bizarre design, creations that could have equally come from the world around us as from an imaginary place.

One, a series of ten tableaux on a street scene as it evolves during the day. The next on 10 evening tableaux of the same view. A window may serve as a source of light and fresh air, but it also presents a view onto the life of a street and its many other windows, each a separate scene of its own, with its multitude of on-going stories developing before your eyes. Within those windows, you can witness the lives of single people, couples, families, stories of love, separation and possibly even… murder.

Jonathan Reid Sévigny was born and raised in Cowansville, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, a culture so unique and full of rare and local treasures that become significant to those who grew up there but perhaps seem completely foreign and often tacky to outsiders.

Summary:
Jonathan Reid Sévigny was born and raised in Cowansville, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, a culture so unique and full of rare and local treasures that become significant to those who grew up there but perhaps seem completely foreign and often tacky to outsiders. It isn’t the most glamorous town, nor does it have any particular sites or landmarks that one would go out of his / her way to visit. In The Sweetsburg Archives Sévigny is attempting to use his Quebeçois boyhood as an archetype for the relationship between the individual, the hometown, and the bewildering beauty that connects the two. As adults, we tend to romanticize our youth, we try and remember the best things about our coming of age, but we’re also scarred by certain events which we wish we could go back and change; fight back, kiss back. At a glance Sévigny’s depictions of Cowansville seem crisply utopian, a neat little playground of nice boys and girls. However, a closer look reveals their human forms are corrupt, splayed, eaten, and absorbed by animal fraternities, by swords of ritualistic death, by minute veils of the macrocosmic sky in all its unknown intricacies. The scene becomes otherworldly in the kid’s play, pushing us to remember that what is around and inside is both innocent and dirty, violent and soft, and constantly revised.

How pictures find houses

Summary:
Like buildings, pictures have not “simply been there.” Nor do they appear out of nowhere. They come into being, are perceived, and develop. That in this process pictures have an inseparable relationship to buildings and vice versa is obvious. There is a history to this relationship that begins at some point – usually quite early. In this book Dieter Maurer and Claudia(...)

Summary:
Like buildings, pictures have not “simply been there.” Nor do they appear out of nowhere. They come into being, are perceived, and develop. That in this process pictures have an inseparable relationship to buildings and vice versa is obvious. There is a history to this relationship that begins at some point – usually quite early. In this book Dieter Maurer and Claudia Riboni use drawings and paintings, commonly referred to as doodles or children's drawings, to trace this early history. Unlike an academic treatise, this book places its entire trust in the power of the pictures themselves.
