Conçue comme un espace collectif où se confrontent des positions sur la production artistique contemporaine, la revue May examine, trimestriellement, pratiques et théories de l'art, ainsi que les stratégies, les contextes ou les problématiques dont elles procèdent – une critique à l'œuvre aussi bien dans les textes que dans d'autres formes artistiques. A partir de la publication d'essais, d'entretiens, d'interventions et de comptes rendus d'exposition réalisés par des artistes, des écrivains, des théoriciens, la revue a également pour objectif d'interroger l'économie de la production des savoirs – notamment l'espace d'indistinction entre information et publicité caractéristique de notre époque. Ceci implique un dialogue avec des formes de critique issues d'autres champs.

Summary:
Danish artist and urban activist Jakob Kolding makes collages that ask: "Who built your neighborhood? For whom was it built? Who uses the space?" This is a visual and verbal dialogue on the dense urban landscapes familiar throughout the globe. Through essays, poignant collages of appropriated comic book images and black-and-white photos with text, Kolding makes it clear that urban planning has failed miserably, creating concrete corridors that are veritable holding tanks for the masses. But he also finds the spark of human spirit rising through youth street culture, pop music, and skateboarding. A definite reality check on architecture and urban planning! Essays by Stephen Graham, Simon Marvis, Iain Borden and Doreen Massey.

Summary:
What makes a city a city? Who says? Drafted over decades out of a dialogue between artist and author Nika Dubrovsky, the late anthropologist David Graeber, and Nika's then four-year-old son, this delightful and provocative book ''Cities Made Differently'' opens a space for invention and collaboration. Fusing anthropology, literature, play, and drawing, the book is essentially a visual essay that asks us to reconsider our ideas about cities and the people who inhabit them. Drawing us into a world of history and myth, science and imagination, Graeber and Dubrovsky invite us to rethink the worlds we inhabit—because we can, and nothing is too strange or too wonderful to be true.

Its title, ''Bulldozer Politics'', is a reference to a small book written by Léopold Lambert in 2016 about the systematic use of the bulldozer by the Israeli state to destroy Palestinian homes since 1948.

Summary:
On the occasion of his fifth and final year as Chair of the Department of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, architect and educator Mark Lee strings together five “footnotes”—on history, on cadence, on autonomy, on America, and on point—to assess the relationship between architectural education, research, and professional practice. Evoking a similar position that marked his tenure, Lee delivers a lecture that embraces dialogue, context, and precedent, and rejects the notion of a heroic manifesto in favor of the footnote: “something ancillary, something used for referencing and providing citations for metanarratives that already exist.” And why five? “It’s a ubiquitous number in the culture of architecture. Five orders, five architects, five points.”

Summary:
Grace Ndiritu delves into radical approaches to education, drawing from her self-directed research in alternative, nomadic, and spiritual communities. Her experiences - from Buddhist monasteries to permaculture communities - profoundly shaped her understanding of embodied learning and its relevance in times of social upheaval. "Being together: A manual for living" reflects on these themes, weaving voices from her social practices to explore collective action and shared destiny within the context of contemporary art education. This second edition, enriched with new essays, deepens the dialogue around these ideas. Published alongside her solo exhibition "The compassionate rebels, tools for everyday living part 1" at Page Not Found, the book extends the exhibition’s exploration of transformative educational practices and communal living.

Summary:
With a focus on social reality and a respect for local context and vernacular craftsmanship, Liu Jiakun's work shows a rare attempt to translate and transfer traditional Chinese cultural ethos into contemporary architectural language, and represents a fine quality of intertexture between individual and collective memories. Many of these projects throw light on the reciprocal relation between Chinese people's public life and urban cultural space. Aedes exclusively presents mainly local projects in Chengdu including West Village Yard. The exhibition unfolds urban evolutionary history and the genius loci of the city, as well as demonstrates Chengdu's humanistic standpoint in practicing a new model of urbanization. It aims to open a new chapter of urban development dialogue between Germany and China.

Summary:
Examining a wide range of art forms, Murray reflects on the rhetorical, emotive, and social forces inherent in the screen arts’ dialogue with early modern concepts. Among the works discussed are digitally oriented films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, and Chris Marker; video installations by Thierry Kuntzel, Keith Piper, and Renate Ferro; and interactive media works by Toni Dove, David Rokeby, and Jill Scott. Sophisticated readings reveal the electronic psychosocial webs and digital representations that link text, film, and computer. Murray puts forth an innovative Deleuzian psychophilosophical approach—one that argues that understanding new media art requires a fundamental conceptual shift from linear visual projection to nonlinear temporal folds intrinsic to the digital form.
