Summary:
Conçue comme un espace collectif où se confrontent des positions sur la production artistique contemporaine, la revue May examine, trimestriellement, pratiques et théories de l'art, ainsi que les stratégies, les contextes ou les problématiques dont elles procèdent – une critique à l'œuvre aussi bien dans les textes que dans d'autres formes artistiques. A partir de la publication d'essais, d'entretiens, d'interventions et de comptes rendus d'exposition réalisés par des artistes, des écrivains, des théoriciens, la revue a également pour objectif d'interroger l'économie de la production des savoirs – notamment l'espace d'indistinction entre information et publicité caractéristique de notre époque. Ceci implique un dialogue avec des formes de critique issues d'autres champs.

Cabinet 55: love
$17.50
(available to order)
Summary:
Love was classically thought to come in four distinct varieties--agape (spiritual love), eros (physical passion), philia (friendship) and storge (familial affection). It might be argued that with modernity, one of these--eros--has come to dominate our landscape, where romance and its obstacles inform so many of our cultural narratives and consumer fantasies.

Summary:
Love was classically thought to come in four distinct varieties--agape (spiritual love), eros (physical passion), philia (friendship) and storge (familial affection). It might be argued that with modernity, one of these--eros--has come to dominate our landscape, where romance and its obstacles inform so many of our cultural narratives and consumer fantasies. Nonetheless, all of these modalities of love continue to structure the relationships that govern human societies. Cabinet issue 55, with a special section on "Love," features Christopher Turner on the "celestial bed" of eighteenth-century proto-sexologist James Graham; Margaret Gordon on epistolary friendships; and Olga Lemerova on the love between humans and their pets. Elsewhere in the issue: Sasha Archibald on the decorative fabric or leather patches worn in the seventeenth century to conceal facial blemishes; D. Graham Burnett on watermarks; and Babak Sadr on how zoos perform annual inventories of their animals, both countable and uncountable.

L’enseignement du paysage. Cela peut s’entendre en deux sens.

Summary:
This instalment investigates two main themes: Live/Work Hybrids and Recovering Wood. In the first, seven small office projects are examined that raise questions about how working space will be organized in the future. With advancements in communications technology, Fraher Architects, Carlo Bagliani, Akitoshi Ukai and others demonstrate the office block’s possible demise. Also, wood is back in fashion. Projects by Shigeru Ban, Gensler, HAMR and more show its recovery as a contemporary building material, revealing the motives for this renewed interest, like technological discoveries and softening the encounter between our natural and built environment.
