Summary:
Le premier volume de la collection "Arcadia" présente trois architectes paysagistes parisiens: Henri Bava, Michel Hoessler et Olivier Philippe. Sous le nom "Agence Ter", ils ont fondé ensemble une agence à Paris en 1986, une deuxième en Guyane française en 1988 et une troisième à Karlsruhe en 2000. Une œuvre étonnante est issue de cette constellation. Suite à des concours gagnés en Allemagne, Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas et grâce à l'enseignement d'Henri Bava à l'Université de Karlsruhe, l'influence de ces architectes s'étend au-delà des frontières nationales. Cette oeuvre ainsi que l'essai analytique de Jean Pierre Le Dantec, l'un des plus grands connaisseurs de l'architecture du paysage en France, est consacré aux travaux de l'Agence Ter qui développent la thématique de l'eau. Dans les jardins et les aménagements qu'elle propose, l'eau constitue souvent un thème important, voire central. Elément fugitif et à multiples facettes, elle déploie dans les jardins un potentiel poétique varié.

Summary:
Il est temps de redessiner un horizon, un futur, une joie de l’action. C’est ce à quoi nous invite ce livre, aboutissement de plus de trente ans de réflexion et d’écriture. Jean Viard y analyse la destruction progressive des sociétés issues des idéologies du progrès, nées avec la révolution industrielle. On y voit se dissoudre les classes sociales et s’organiser un monde d’archipels individuels entremêlés. Le peuple redevenu foule est alors tenté par des radicalités pour se rassembler. Le commun se défait, l’individu s’exprime de plus en plus, à la fois lié et soumis par le monde numérique et médiatique.

Summary:
Published on the occasion of the exhibition " Taiji Matsue - landscapes " au Museum Schloss Moyland (24.04.2005 to 21.08.2005). The artist is a geologist by training, and his work examines the skin of the earth, with no horizon and no form other than the undulating shapes beneath it and the tracery of roads, buildings, plants and people on it. Matsue observes houses, farms, construction sites, wetlands and cities from perches tens to hundreds of feet above street level. His low-contrast, black-and-white prints are neither spectacular nor picturesque; he refuses to dramatize the moment or the view.

Summary:
The precision of the camera lens shows images of a city – one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the world – expanding and thinning away to incorporate the surrounding hillsides. An ever-present mist, the steep outline of the horizon and the light that evaporates from the illuminated roads create a backdrop for the city’s architectural landscape: the anonymous verticality of new tower blocks and the overcrowded horizontal lines of never ending suburbs. This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition of Gabriele Basilico, Istanbul 05 010, and includes a text by Luca Doninelli.

Hong Kong Inside Outside combines two major series of Wolf's work. For the first, Wolf has removed any trace of the horizon from the frame, capturing the relentless abstraction of the city’s residential high-rises while exploring the spatial experience of its inhabitants. For the second series, Wolf has juxtaposed the anonymity of these exteriors with interior portraits(...)

Summary:
Hong Kong Inside Outside combines two major series of Wolf's work. For the first, Wolf has removed any trace of the horizon from the frame, capturing the relentless abstraction of the city’s residential high-rises while exploring the spatial experience of its inhabitants. For the second series, Wolf has juxtaposed the anonymity of these exteriors with interior portraits of 100 individuals and families surrounded by all of their belongings in identical public housing spaces that measure 100 square feet. This study forms in part a typology that allows the viewer to study how individuals make the confined spaces their own.

Summary:
A ‘complex’ can be an architectural configuration, a psychological syndrome or a political apparatus. In this book, John Miller approaches Educational Complex through corresponding lines of enquiry, considering the representation of Kelley’s schools (and his childhood home) as architectural models; popular fantasies associated with false memory syndrome; and the liberal democratic premises underpinning education. During his lifetime, Mike Kelley worked with a wide range of media, exploring themes as varied as grassroots politics, religious systems and social class. Miller shows that in Educational Complex, Kelley expands this political and aesthetic focus to test the ideological horizon of art as an institution.
