L'artiste américain joseph Cornell (1903 1972) ne savait ni dessiner, ni sculpter. Rêveur appliqué et solitaire, il écumait les brocantes et les antiquaires de Manhattan en quête de trouvailles à ramener au sous-sol de sa maison d'enfance à Utopia Parkway, où il vivait avec son frère invalide, Robert.

Summary:
L'artiste américain joseph Cornell (1903 1972) ne savait ni dessiner, ni sculpter. Rêveur appliqué et solitaire, il écumait les brocantes et les antiquaires de Manhattan en quête de trouvailles à ramener au sous-sol de sa maison d'enfance à Utopia Parkway, où il vivait avec son frère invalide, Robert. Il y remplissait ses boîtes d'ombre d'objets trouvés, fabriquait des courts métrages à partir de chutes de films de l'âge d'or d'Hollywood et réalisait des collages hantés par l'image de femmes inconnues. Charles Simic, qui a arpenté les mêmes rues que Cornell, nous donne ici un livre de marcheur, Baedeker éclaté de cette ville réelle irréelle où Cornell a passé sa vie, à la frontière d'Onirie et d'Amérique.

Désormais, c'est dans l'effervescence du New York Art Déco que tout se passe. Pour son ami Hugh Ferriss, Manhattan préfigure même la Metropolis du futur. Dans 'Une ville sous un seul toit' (1929), Hood imagine de petites villes dans la ville, tandis que dans 'L'Architecture de Rockefeller City' (1932), il transpose le modèle idéal en chantier opérationnel. Bref, une Messe pour le temps présent, un Office pour l'architecture métropolitaine...

Summary:
Le 11 septembre 2001, un temple du capitalisme et de la suprématie américaine vacille en direct, aux yeux du monde. Bien plus que l'objectif militaire du Pentagone, l'écroulement des « Twin Towers » de la ville-monde constitue la visée symbolique et médiatique la plus spectaculaire. Dominant la Statue de la Liberté, non loin de Wall Street et du New York Stock Exchange, le choix d'Oussama ben Laden tenait tant à cette localisation qu'à la configuration idéale et vulnérable du World Trade Center dans la skyline de Manhattan. L'essai de Christophe Hébert revient sur la manière dont ce projet naquit, se construisit et prospéra comme acteur d'une certaine histoire culturelle et matérielle des États-Unis... au point d'en faire la cible parfaite.

Summary:
In his foreword to ''The Ways of Paradise'', Peter Cornell presents this so-called found manuscript, the work of a now-deceased, obscure researcher who spent three decades in the National Library of Sweden working on his magnum opus. Upon his death, no trace of this work remains aside from this set of notes and fragments which form an enigmatic set of texts on the connections between art, literature, spirituality and the occult through history, with a particular focus on spirals and labyrinths. Ranging from the Crusades to Ruskin, Freud to surrealism, cubism, automatic writing, Duchamp, the Manhattan Project, Pollock and Smithson, this cult book, first published in Sweden in 1987, is translated into English for the first time by Saskia Vogel.

Summary:
The Present is Paul Graham's contribution to street photography. It also completes Graham's trilogy project on America (with American Night (2003) and a shimmer of possibility (2007)). Most of the photographs were taken in the busiest parts of Manhattan (Penn Station, China Town, Times Square) between 2009 and 2011. At the first look, the photographs might seem boring and dull. In a way The Present is about nothingness, "nothing moments of life". The present is a period of time between the past and the future, also referred to as now. The images capture the same places, shot from the same position, with just few moments apart. While the street photography is about a perfect frozen moment, Paul Graham shifts it by creating a combinations before/after.
