Summary:
Using the theme of Currency to invite reflection on the contemporary power of the photograph to relay and relate meaning across distance, the Triennial of Photography Hamburg explores the value of photography in the 21st century. The extension of this economic term to art and visual culture allows for a sustained engagement with photography and its relationship to value-making, canon-making, access, circulation, and knowledge production. At a time when the production, distribution, and consumption of photographic images has become ubiquitous and we have learned to structure our contemporary world through a lens, the digital image has become the currency of exchange on social platforms. Fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this book gathers international perspectives that reflect on how photography shapes today’s narratives, as well as our perception and experience of the world.

Le musée est-il toujours le lieu de l'art contemporain ? L'intervention de l'artiste dans l'espace urbain est-elle plus libre que celle de l'architecte ? Qu'en est-il de l'autonomie de l'œuvre après l'ère postmoderne ? Ces interrogations émergent d'un dialogue passionnant à partir duquel l'artiste et l'architecte échangent véritablement leur point de vue sur des démarches distinctes par nature et similaires dans le désir d'intégrer le contexte plastique, architectural, historique, sociologique, esthétique dans leur travail. Cette conférence, présentée par Frédéric Migayrou et Jean-Louis Maubant, donne lieu à une confrontation engagée autour de la notion d'espace dans l'art et l'architecture. Film réalisé dans le cadre du cycle des Grandes Conférences conçues par Alain Julien-Laferrière et organisées par le Centre de Création Contemporaine et l'Université François-Rabelais à Tours le 11 avril 1994.

In No More Play: Conversations on Urban Speculation in Los Angeles and Beyond , American architect Michael Maltzan traces the transformations that have taken place in the city of Los Angeles since the early 1990s.

Summary:
This issue of Un Sedicesimo originates from a journey into the present and from memory as its sediment is deposited in our own personal gaze. It focuses on the dialogue between images and words, taking the shape of a notebook recording our daily lives; it is a collection of tracks and traces represented through collages, charcoals drawings, watercolours, shellac and burns. Gianluigi Colin works with the precision of an archaeologist to highlight fragments of words, signs and figures within the fissures of our everyday existence. Gianluigi Colin was born in Pordenone in 1956. For many years he has been conducting artistic research touching upon two systems that only appear different: words and pictures. His work is an investigation of the meaning of representation, the importance of memory, and the layering of vision.

Que se passe-t-il quand un poulpe rencontre une araignée ? Ils s’observent, tentent de dialoguer avec leurs moyens et se lancent des défis ! Une compétition qui peut se terminer en conflit comme en alliance. Que se passe-t-il quand 2 petits enfants se rencontrent pour la première fois ? La même chose : chacun va utiliser les moyens de communication à sa portée (pas forcément le langage) pour attirer l’attention de l’autre afin de s’en faire (peut-être) un ami. Et ce n’est pas parce qu’on ne parle pas le même langage qu’on ne peut pas s’entendre ! Cet album sans texte se passe donc aisément des mots : l’enfant est libre de se raconter l’histoire qu’il veut à partir d’illustrations suffisamment riches pour évoquer l’amitié, le dialogue, la confrontation et la différence.

Cairo. Open City examines the roles that images are playing in the ongoing Egyptian revolution, from the outbreak of the Arab Spring through the present. The catalog includes a variety of approaches to the time-based media of photography and video, from the works of photo journalists, to recordings by activists and citizen journalists , to documents collected by different artists. The different chapters will generate a dialogue between the images: Cover images from newspapers will stand alongside photo galleries from blogs, iconic pictures alongside unknown images of people on the streets, images of martyrs alongside long-term documentary projects. The catalog comes out on the occasion of the exhibition in the Museum for Photography Braunschweig and collects essays from young Cairo-based authors. (Arabic, German and English edition)

Summary:
Housed in a slipcase, Rio contains the work of two photographers who portray Rio de Janeiro in a visual dialogue spanning the centuries. Book One showcases nineteenth-century photographer Marc Ferrez's classical work on the city where he spent his five-decade career, from the mid-1860s to the early 1910s, while Book Two presents a project of Robert Polidori's from the past five years, in which he photographed Rio, emphasizing its contemporary dynamic and dense urban configuration. Polidori contextualizes today's Rio within the natural settings from which the city grew, and which have defined its iconic international profile throughout history. This tension between the natural and built environments, also significant in Ferrez's work, is a defining reference for Rio's inhabitants and is here documented in its historic and present variations.
