Summary:
In 2006, two artists fled the high cost of living in Vancouver and moved to a place where they knew absolutely nobody, Bruno, Saskatchewan, population 500. They set up a storefront building in which they housed their own unique brand of café / art shop / community centre / music venue called All Citizens from 2007-2011. McCarroll kept a blog called Going Rural of her travels and experiences moving and setting up shop. This blog (text and photographs) forms a significant chapter of the All Citizens art book and serves as an introduction to Saara Liinamaa’s essay on rural interventions. The documentation (in text, interviews, and photographs) of the artistic practice of three local senior women formed McCarroll’s MFA thesis project in the Documentary Media Program at Ryerson and constitutes another significant chapter. Cartoonist David Collier visits one of these women in Bruno and provides a comic essay in his own style. Also contributing is artist Jason McLean. But the heart of the All Citizens project was the store itself, a meeting place, shop, cultural centre, music venue and all things in between. It was the ultimate culmination of a DIY aesthetic forged onto a rural landscape. Includes Bonus CD: Daniel, Fred, and Julie: Live at All Citizens.

On connaissait André Malraux écrivain, sensible à la peinture, à la sculpture, aux arts d'Extrême-Orient ou d'Afrique. Mais il fut également très attentif à la création architecturale française et à la protection du patrimoine. Ministre fondateur des Affaires culturelles sous le général de Gaulle, de 1959 à 1969, il contribua à donner à l'architecture et au patrimoine un élan novateur. Il mit en place les fondements de la protection du patrimoine du XXe siècle, lança l'Inventaire général, la loi sur les secteurs sauvegardés et s'intéressa à la commande publique (les préfectures des nouveaux départements de la couronne parisienne, les maisons de la culture, le projet de musée du Vingtième-Siècle), nouant au fil des années des rapports admiratifs ou amicaux avec les architectes contemporains : Le Corbusier bien sûr, Wogenscky, Faugeron. Issu des communications présentées lors de la journée d'études organisée par le comité d'histoire du ministère pour le trentième anniversaire de la mort d'André Malraux, en 2006, cet ouvrage collectif, grâce à l'apport de recherches récentes et de documents inédits, éclaire la politique de l'architecture et du patrimoine des débuts de la Cinquième République. Le CD qui l'accompagne permet d'écouter de nombreux témoignages sur le rôle de l'écrivain-ministre en matière d'architecture et de patrimoine, ainsi que le célèbre hommage à Le Corbusier, prononcé en 1965.

Summary:
Why would two talented and employable young graphic designers start up their own practice without any clients, in the midst of a recession, and in a city brimming with world-renowned designers? "Karlssonwilker inc.'s tellmewhy" is the improbable story of such a ventureor act of bravura or insanityon the part of Hjalti Karlsson and Jan Wilker, and offers a telling, humorous, and always human insight into the workings of a young startup design studio, showcasing every project they did in their first two years. A book as iconoclastic as their designs, tellmewhy features fresh stories of karlssonwilker's ordinary office and its less-than-romantic tales about rooftop parties, battles with immigration, missed meetings, and money problems. Despite these storiesand because of otherskarlssonwilker has produced an impressive body of design work in two short years. Tellmewhy shows the happy endings, including signage for a Philadelphia restaurant, logo designs for a New York fashion house, and CD packaging for both independent and major music labels. And it presents unrealized designs, like an ad campaign for a TV network. All share the designers' creative and humorous take on design. Karlssonwilker intersperses these examples with its singular illustrated diagrams, faux flow charts linking the partners' biographies, work, social lives, and whatever comes to their unique minds. A foreword by former employer Stefan Sagmeister recalls karlssonwilker's start in his design office.

Summary:
From Gordon Matta-Clark to Lawrence Weiner, Bruce Nauman to Alison Knowles, the question of site locates itself in issues of public space, at the intersection of the imagined and the real, at the juncture of performance and architectural production. By anthologizing essays, documents, and interviews by leading critics, historians, and artists on issues of site-specificity, conceptualism, feminism, and architecture practice, "Surface Tension" reveals the connections between cultural production and the very spaces in which such work functions. These textual explorations are complemented by extensive documentation of related projects, both historical and contemporary, by artists, architects, and performance artists, including 'Coughing Piece', a never-before released 1961 audio work by Yoko Ono; an obscure audio work by Nauman from 1969; projects by Suzanne Lacy, a leading figure in the development of conceptual practice and public art; and an experimental text by Jane Rendell on psychic architectures. Conversations occur between the pages of "Surface Tension", between theoretical analysis and modes of practice, that activate the publication as a site itself, one participating in a broad field of knowledge. Includes an audio CD of the sound art pieces. Artists Include: Gordon Matta-Clark, Lawrence Weiner,Jan Hofer, Melissa Dyne, Kim Abeles, Carol Brown, Christof Migone, Michael Rakowitz, Eyal Weizman, Rafael Lazano-Hemmer, Tanja Jordan, Lizzie Scott, Tim Durfee, Lize Mogel, Suzanne Lacy, Michael Asher, Bruce Nauman, Lucky Kitchen, Michael Prime, Alison Knowles, and Yoko Ono, amongst others.

Summary:
We may encounter different types of packaging everyday, but how many of us truly appreciate the art of packaging? From food packaging to beverage containers, tissue boxes to CD covers, packaging is hard to be missed in our daily lives. Yet not many of us see packaging as a form of art. Are we taking it for granted because it is around us at all times? Or perhaps we see it simply as a marketing tool to sell products? When was the last time you were excited by the packaging of a product? Did it persuade you to buy the product? Packaging is not only a powerful selling tool, it is also an effective method of communication that can stimulate the viewers’ senses. Good packaging can break through the language barrier and can stand the test of time. Like the three previous books in the series, the fourth book ‘It’s a matter of Packaging’ showcases some of the most creative and interesting work produced by designers from all over the world. The book is divided into three main sections: Visual, Touch and Idea, featuring work from almost sixty designers/ companies around the globe. The work ranges from shopping bags to music, food to beverages, books to catalogues, toys to fashion. There are interviews from three established packaging designers, Giannis Kouroudis from K2 design, Sayuri Shoji from Sayuri Studio and Tom Lancaster from Stylo Design. With the diverse collection of work, this book will arouse your senses, inspire your mind and encourage you to appreciate the art of packaging.

Summary:
The diversity of contemporary London is extraordinary, and begs to be better understood. Never before have so many people from such diverse backgrounds been free to mix and not to mix in close proximity to each other. But increasingly people's lives take place behind the closed doors of private houses. How can we gain an insight into what those lives are like today? Not television characters, not celebrities, but real people. How could one ever come to know perfect strangers? Danny Miller attempts to achieve this goal in this brilliant exposé of a street in modern London. He leads us behind closed doors to thirty people who live there, showing their intimate lives, their aspirations and frustrations, their tragedies and accomplishments. He places the focus upon the things that really matter to the people he meets, which quite often turn out to be material things, the house, the dog, the music, the Christmas decorations. He creates a gallery of portraits, some comic, some tragic, some cubist, some impressionist, some bleak and some exuberant. We find that a random street in modern London contains the most extraordinary stories. Mass murderers and saints, the most charmed Christmas since Fanny and Alexander and the story of how a CD collection helped someone overcome heroin. Through this sensitive reading of the ordinary lives of ordinary people, Miller uncovers the orders and forms through which people make sense of their lives today. He shows just how much is to be gained when we stop lamenting what we think we used to be, and instead concentrate on what we are becoming now. He reveals above all the sadness of lives and the comfort of things.

Ce traité et les applications qu'il recommande développent certaines spécification originales commune à la culture japonaise : l'attrait pour l'éphémère, la dissymétrie, l'instant décalé en musique ou en architecture, la fascination pour la matière brute, ou encore la dématérialisation de l'espace et la recherche de la vacuité. dans la tradition continentale sino-coréenne, longtemps modèle incontesté, les trois éléments indispensables à la reproduction de la résidence céleste aux dimensions de l'homme étaient le lac, l'île et la montagne : composantes qui coïncidaient si bien avec la configuration de l'archipel montagneux que l'enclave maritime ; au centre du pays, la Mer intérieure, parsemée d'îlots rocheux, a été prise par les Japonais comme modèle pour leurs jardins. de même que l'écriture dans chaque civilisation s'inscrit dans un espace donne, la disposition du jardin et les compositions de pierres doivent se soumettre a certaines règles afin que, dans le respect d'un équilibre cosmique, le jardin et par voie de conséquence son propriétaire ne tombent pas dans la disharmonie et n'endure des malédictions. Formant autant de chapitres, les principales règles du traité sont décryptées à travers des commentaires, des documents iconographiques sur les jardins, plans, estampes, photographies, et leurs sources d'inspiration. Des digressions développent systématiquement dans chaque chapitre l'interrelation de cet aspect du jardin avec les différentes expressions artistiques, en particulier dans la création contemporaine. Est inclus dans l'ouvrage un CD-Rom interactif consacré à une partie du traité « Le Possible et l'impossible ». Il propose une approche en deux modes, réceptif et actif, pour mettre en application différents principes de réalisation des jardins.
