Summary:
Keller Easterling’s volume in the Critical Spatial Practice series analyzes the urgency of building subtraction. Often treated as failure or loss, subtraction—when accepted as part of an exchange—can be growth. All over the world, sprawl and overdevelopment have attracted distended or failed markets and exhausted special landscapes. However, in failure, buildings can(...)

Summary:
Keller Easterling’s volume in the Critical Spatial Practice series analyzes the urgency of building subtraction. Often treated as failure or loss, subtraction—when accepted as part of an exchange—can be growth. All over the world, sprawl and overdevelopment have attracted distended or failed markets and exhausted special landscapes. However, in failure, buildings can create their own alternative markets of durable spatial variables that can be managed and traded by citizens and cities rather than the global financial industry.

(Curating) From A to Z offers a summary of the development of curatorial practice over the last two decades seen through the eyes of curator Jens Hoffmann. In this publication each letter of the alphabet evokes a particular word related to the world of exhibition making: From A (as in Artist) and B (as in Biennial) to R (as in Retrospective) and W (as in White Cube). Employing a diarist style, the curator presents his personal curatorial alphabet with a similar transparency and the same idiosyncratic character revealed in many of his exhibitions.

Dans cette conférence tenue à l'École normale supérieure de Paris, il apparaît que l'essentiel du travail du curator réside dans la discussion avec les artistes et la maïeutique de la pensée.

Définie en 1848 comme science des milieux, la mésologie est née des travaux d'un disciple d'Auguste Comte, le médecin Charles Robin. Sous l'influence de la phénoménologie, elle a été refondée sur d'autres bases au XXe siècle par le naturaliste Jakob von Uexküll - précurseur de l'éthologie et de la biosémiotique - et par le philosophe Tetsurô Watsuji. Tous deux - Uexküll au niveau du vivant en général, Watsuji à celui de l'humain en particulier - introduisent un double principe : d'une part, dans sa relation à l'environnement, l'être n'est pas un objet, mais un sujet qui interprète activement l'environnement pour en élaborer son milieu propre ; d'autre part, le milieu ne doit pas être confondu avec le donné brut de l'environnement.

Summary:
David Senior, bibliographer at the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York, selected a wide range of exhibition-related ephemera – invitations, flyers and posters from the 1960s to the present – and presents them here as an historically overlooked but integral aspect of exhibitions. Often the first point of contact between the audience and artist, such items form part of an essential lexicon for graphic designers, curators, art historians and anyone interested in the event-based nature of showing art. Filled with full-colour reproductions of numerous examples from the MoMA collection, the book includes new essays and analysis by Angie Keefer, Clive Phillpot and Will Holder, among others.
