Summary:
"The making of V East" embodies the V's mission to make art, design, and creativity available to everyone. It is a sourcebook of creativity that will inspire the artists and designers of today and tomorrow. The site in East London encompasses V East Storehouse (now opened to great acclaim) and V East Museum. Together, they are an open-access repository for over half a million works that span every creative discipline, and a new museum that celebrates making and creativity's power to bring change by spotlighting the people and ideas that shape global culture right now. If that weren't enough, it holds the David Bowie archive. "The making of V East" sets out the ambitions of this landmark development. Celebrating the buildings' home in the creative crucible of East London, and showcasing the story of the two locations, it is a truly collaborative project at a local and global scale. The book brings together a multitude of contributions, from curators, project managers, educators, artists and others—with reflections on the future of museums from directors, architects, and curators across the world.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage est le catalogue de l’exposition Villa Savoyehantée qui a lieu du 20 novembre au 22 décembre 2004 à la Villa Savoye. Pendant l’hiver 2003, durant un mois, l’architecte Philippe Rahm et seize étudiants de l’atelier de Jean-Luc Vilmouth, artiste et enseignant à l’École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, vont « hanter la modernité de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, en visiter les dimensions cachées, les zones d’ombres, sa part invisible.Chercher des fantômes dans la transparence du verre, révéler l’occulte dans les surfaces lisses et légères, l’ineffable dans l’architecture blanche et lumineuse d’un siècle moderne déjà passé. Il existe une contemporanéité des fantômes. » Ce catalogue présente les travaux des étudiants, en « dialogue » avec le récit de cette expérience commune. Il raconte également l’histoire de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, manifeste de la modernité architecturale et classée monument historique en 1965, et propose un regard différent sur cette « pure création de l’esprit», comme l’appelait Le Corbusier lui-même.

Summary:
In this examination of installation design as an aesthetic medium and cultural practice, Staniszewski offers the first history of exhibitions at the most powerful and influential modern art museum--The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Focusing on over two hundred photographs of the visually rich but overlooked history of exhibitions, Staniszewski documents and deciphers an essential chapter of twentieth-century art and culture and provides a historical and theoretical framework for a primary area of contemporary aesthetic practice--installation-based art. Among the artists, designers, architects, and curators whose installations the author features are Dennis Adams, Alfred H. Barr, Jr., Herbert Bayer, René d'Harnoncourt, Ray and Charles Eames, Hans Haacke, David Hammons, Philip Johnson, Frederick Kiesler, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, El Lissitzky, Adrian Piper, Lilly Reich, William Rubin, Paul Rudolph, Edward Steichen, Giuseppe Terragni, and Kirk Varnedoe.

Summary:
In 1993, the artist Vito Acconci and the architect Steven Holl were invited to redesign the then existing façade of the Storefront Gallery in New York. As a response to its urban context and its function as an art space - the gallery is situated on the ground floor of a low building on the outskirts of Soho - Acconci and Holl created a versatile façade which may be opened up in different ways according to the season or function as an optical screen separating the inner space from the street. The different functions, answering to the needs of inner and outer space and creating links and transparencies or establishing borders, serve to provide visitors with ever-changing local and spatial relations.
