Summary:
L’ouverture du musée du quai Branly est l’aboutissement d’un rêve déjà ancien : celui de Claude Lévi-Strauss d’abord, d’André Malraux ensuite et enfin celui né de la rencontre entre Jacques Chirac, passionné depuis toujours par les arts du bout du monde, et Jacques Kerchache, auteur du manifeste «Les chefs-d’œuvre du monde entier naissent libres et égaux en droit».

Summary:
L’ouverture du musée du quai Branly est l’aboutissement d’un rêve déjà ancien : celui de Claude Lévi-Strauss d’abord, d’André Malraux ensuite et enfin celui né de la rencontre entre Jacques Chirac, passionné depuis toujours par les arts du bout du monde, et Jacques Kerchache, auteur du manifeste «Les chefs-d’œuvre du monde entier naissent libres et égaux en droit». De cette ferveur commune pour les arts non occidentaux est née l’idée de créer un lieu qui rende aux cultures minoritaires leur juste place dans les institutions muséales de la France. Dès 1995, le président de la République m’a demandé de conduire un groupe de réflexion sur ce futur musée. Le projet ne s’est pas fait en un jour, il a suscité des débats, traversé des tempêtes, rencontré des détracteurs, nourri des passions. L’accueil enthousiaste que le public réserve au musée du quai Branly depuis son ouverture est bien plus qu’une récompense, c’est la démonstration qu’une telle institution répond à une attente réelle et légitime et que ceux qui l’ont voulue avaient compris cette nécessité culturelle. Le projet architectural du musée du quai Branly est atypique. Il témoigne de la maturité du travail de Jean Nouvel. Répondant à des exigences spécifiques en matière d’image, d’identité, d’accessibilité et d’insertion urbaine, bénéficiant d’un site exceptionnel, à l’ombre de la tour Eiffel, il joue sur l’émotion, le dépaysement, la joie de la découverte. Le bâtiment, par son architecture novatrice, incarne parfaitement les ambitions qui étaient au cœur de ce grand projet : la tolérance, la reconnaissance et le respect des différences. Affirmation du refus d’une conception étriquée des savoirs et d’une hiérarchie des arts établie au détriment des productions artistiques des autres continents, il illustre l’engagement de la France voulu par Jacques Chirac en faveur de la diversité culturelle. C’est au contact des artistes, chercheurs et muséologues étrangers que se tisseront maintenant des liens durables avec la communauté scientifique et culturelle internationale. C’est aussi au contact des peuples autochtones que se forgera une appréhension plus juste de la manière de présenter et de faire vivre leurs patrimoines. Souhaitons que l’échange de ces regards et de ces questionnements nourrisse et enrichisse cette jeune et belle institution. Jacques Friedmann, Président d’honneur

Summary:
Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly---small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives---including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

À l’image du recueil "Essais" chaque volume sera rehaussé d’un appareillage critique assuré par le spécialiste français de l’œuvre de Henry D. Thoreau : Michel Granger. Dans La Vie sans principe Thoreau critique les fondements d’une société qui, trop exclusivement centrée sur le négoce, l’industrie et l’agriculture, oublie les fins d’une existence pleinement humaine et sacrifie la spiritualité à l’argent. Chercher à élever sa vie, l’enrichir au contact de la nature et résister à l’emprise de la société, tel est l’appel dicté par Thoreau.

Summary:
A butterfly is like another butterfly. A butterfly is also like a leaf and at the same time like a paper airplane, an owl’s face, a scholar flying from book to book. The most disparate things approach one another in a butterfly, the sort of dense nodule of likeness that Roger Caillois once proposed calling a 'bizarre-privileged item.' In response, critical theorist Paul North proposes a spiritual exercise: imagine a universe made up solely of likenesses. There are no things, only traits acting according to the law of series, here and there a thick overlap that appears 'bizarre.' Centuries of thought have fixated on the concept of difference. This book offers a theory that begins from likeness, where, at any instant, a vast array of series proliferates and remote regions come into contact. 'Bizarre-Privileged Items in the Universe' follows likenesses as they traverse physics and the physical universe; evolution and evolutionary theory; psychology and the psyche; sociality, language, and art. Divergent sources from an eccentric history give shape to a new trans-science, 'homeotics.'

Ayant soin de respecter ce qu'il appelle les deux instances d'une œuvre d'art, l'instance historique et l'instance esthétique, il préconise avant tout de restituer la lisibilité d'une œuvre, de s'interroger sur ce qui, en elle, la constitue en tant qu'œuvre. Et il donne non seulement toute son importance à ce qu'elle fut dans son époque mais aussi à la manière dont elle a traversé l'histoire. Il suggère ainsi d'éventuellement conserver les traces du passage du temps, la patine, comme de laisser voir, de près, l'acte de restauration lui-même, dans le comblement des lacunes par exemple. Enrichi d'appendices décrivant des cas concrets, cet ouvrage donne ainsi la pleine mesure d'une prise en compte de l'histoire d'une œuvre et de ce qu'il doit en apparaitre pour le spectateur d'aujourd'hui. Depuis Brandi, la restauration consiste désormais en une démarche critique, qui évalue à la fois la dimension historique de l'œuvre et son essence artistique.

Summary:
A Prefab is a mass produced house, constructed in a factory and assembled on site in a few days or weeks. Once regarded as a cheap, easy solution for urgent housing problems, the prefab has evolved to become a synonym for ambitious design and sophisticated detailing solutions. The amazing history of prefabricated houses started in England in the 1830's with a building kit for emigrants moving to Australia. Even today, prefabricated houses provide a high percentage of living spaces in many countries of the world. This book covers prefabs from the USA via Europe to Asia and Africa, giving insight into the various industrially prefabricated components, the difficulties of delivery to the building site, and the intricacies of assembly and completion. As well as tracing the liaison between modernism and industrialization that evolved to produce the latest prefabricated solutions, it also features a unique compilation of one-off prefabricated houses by well known international architects, as well as successful dwellings manufactured off-site for everyday modern living. Readers will also find contact details for relevant suppliers and manufacturers.
