Perhaps as ubiquitous as smartphones today, the books of hours were a private necessity in Europe during the Middle Ages. These manuscripts contained collections of texts that were meaningful to each owner, as well as an organized method of structuring the day around prayer by marking the passing of the canonical hours.

Summary:
Perhaps as ubiquitous as smartphones today, the books of hours were a private necessity in Europe during the Middle Ages. These manuscripts contained collections of texts that were meaningful to each owner, as well as an organized method of structuring the day around prayer by marking the passing of the canonical hours. Although highly personalized, with intricate miniatures and illuminations, all books of hours contained sections to be recited at regular intervals throughout the twenty-four hours of the day. In them, the public and the private timescales converged, crystallized into a material, perdurable form not devoid of beauty. "The book of hours" by Frida Escobedo is a modern exegesis of this extinct devotional practice: a project in which twenty-four objects were photographed at different intervals of time to capture their evolution, making a new calendar of matter and light. As humanity has transitioned to a secular understanding of time in which hours are organized and conceived in terms of productivity, The Book of Hours interrogates the place of contemplation in our era, its possibility and necessity. Through this book—a public display of a private collection of objects—readers are invited to contemplate these arrays of matter and experience the ways in which they once interacted with light, that burning needle in time’s template.

Ce livre retrace une extraordinaire aventure artistique : de février à mars 2004 s’est déroulée en Laponie finlandaise, à l’initiative du galeriste new-yorkais Lance Fung, une exposition d’art d’un genre nouveau, toute en neige et en glace. Chacune des dix-sept œuvres présentées était réalisée par un duo comprenant un artiste et une agence d’architecture de renommée internationale, à qui l’on avait demandé, pour la première fois, de travailler ensemble. C’est ainsi qu’ont par exemple collaboré Anish Kapoor et Future Systems, Yoko Ono et Isozaki, Kiki Smith et Lebbeus Woods, Carsten Höller et Williams & Tsien ou encore Cai Guo-Qiang et Zaha Hadid. D’abord conçu comme une exposition d’art, “Snow Show” est rapidement devenu, par le caractère extrême et inhabituel des paramètres qui entraient en jeu, une expérience singulière. Les équipes d’architectes et d’artistes ont su élaborer des projets audacieux, allant de l’exercice d’expérimentation formelle à la prise de position artistique hautement conceptuelle.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage explique en quoi l'art des jardins entretient d'étroites relations avec différentes expressions artistiques du Japon. Cette méditation en image prend son point de départ dans les règles d'un traité du XIe siècle sur l'art de dresser les pierres, le Sakutei-ki (notes sur la fabrication des jardin). 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.

Summary:
Looking at a considerable range of works spanning the entire career of Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) from seven of his famous ''Wall Drawings'' to sculptures such as ''Complex Form'' and ''Inverted Spiraling Tower'', and including the photo-series ''Autobiography'', this book explores the deeply intertwined relationship between LeWitt's work and architecture. Featuring a collaboration by the architect Rem Koolhaas- as a curator, for the first time ever- in dialogue with the curator Francesco Stocchi, ''Between the Lines'' addresses broad aspects of LeWitt's oeuvre, with the aim of moving beyond the divisions that traditionally separate architecture from art history (the flouting of which characterizes the artist's entire body of work). In particular, this book reformulates the still-popular assumption that an artwork must adapt to the architecture.

Summary:
In this Dialogue on Art and Architecture, Ellsworth Kelly (born 1923) reminisces with Hans Ulrich Obrist about his early career, his teachers (Max Beckmann, Brancusi, Léger and Vantongerloo) and particularly on the relation of his work to architecture: “architects are usually the first people who understand my work,” he tells Obrist here, while describing his many collaborations in this field. Throughout this beautiful publication runs a series of collaged and overpainted postcards by Kelly, dating from 1949 to 1984, which are reproduced here for the first time. These postcards, referred to throughout the dialogue, are unlike any of Kelly's paintings and sculptures, particularly in their use of body imagery; others are closer to familiar Kelly terrain, as projections of torn colored paper forms onto found landscapes and architecture. This artist's book makes a wonderfully unusual record of a warm encounter.
