Summary:
"David Goldblatt: No ulterior motive" coincides with a major traveling retrospective of the renowned South African photographer’s work. From vintage handprints of the artist’s black-and-white photography, taken between the 1950s and the 1990s, to his post-apartheid, large-format, color work, photographs in the volume are approached thematically—under headers such as "Assembly," "Disbelief," "Dialogues," and "Extraction"—to draw out the artist’s core interests in working-class people, the landscape, and the built environment. Objects from Goldblatt’s (1930–2018) personal archive are also included. In an effort to create a more inclusive dialogue around Goldblatt’s work, the catalogue features images and texts by contemporary photographers and scholars, many of whom were mentored by Goldblatt, including Zanele Muholi and Sabelo Mlangeni. Some write on Goldblatt’s photographs, while others discuss his influence on their own work. Goldblatt devoted his life to documenting his country and its people. Known for his nuanced portrayals of life under apartheid, he covered a wide range of subjects, all of them intimately connected to South African history and politics. The wide-ranging voices in this catalogue foster a broad frame of reference for his work, thus countering a frequent misunderstanding of apartheid as a situation peculiar to South Africa.

Summary:
Aménager, c'est rendre possible un projet de ville, en assemblant des opérations et des fragments qui prennent sens grâce à une vision d'avenir. Dans la démarche de mutation engagée à Saint-Etienne, le pari est celui de la transformation urbaine comme levier de la nécessaire reconquête économique. Une transformation dont les processus de mise en œuvre relèvent d'un va-et-vient permanent entre actions et réflexions sur les méthodes. Selon ce principe, un workshop, organisé en juin 2005 par la Ville de Saint-Etienne avec la contribution du futur aménageur - la mission de préfiguration d'un établissement public -, a permis un dialogue ouvert et courageux entre les équipes stéphanoises et les experts invités. Le procédé, en dégageant des pistes de refondation du projet urbain, nourrit une grande opération menée conjointement par les collectivités locales et l'Etat. Au-delà du cas particulier, l'aventure stéphanoise permet de dégager des lignes de force pour alimenter la réflexion et guider les acteurs qui ont en charge la ville, où qu'elle soit et quelle qu'elle soit. Ce livre a donc une valeur didactique, tant sur les principes qui fondent l'action urbaine que sur les outils opérationnels et les méthodes dont a besoin une politique d'aménagement inventive.

Son travail est présenté par un dispositif original et inédit grâce à une série de photographies de Morgane Le Gall mettant en scène 48 affiches et de nombreux objets (livres, affiches, identités visuelles, etc.). Pour appréhender son œuvre et sa démarche, treize textes ont été commandés à des personnalités du monde culturel ayant collaboré ou accompagné Teschner au cours de sa carrière. Un échantillon d’affiche imprimé en sérigraphie à l’échelle 1 sur du papier affiche au dos bleu est inséré en fin de cahier, rendant chaque exemplaire du livre unique. // This monograph is dedicated to the French graphic designer Frédéric Teschner. Whether dealing with the visual arts, music, or theatre, Teschner’s approach has relied on graphic communication as a vehicle for the values of public service. He always strives to create a visual context for a dialogue between ordinary people and public cultural activities, and essentially sees the role of the graphic designer as interlocuter between design and its audience. A number of contributors offer detailed insight into various aspects of Teschner’s oeuvre in this comprehensive overview and tribute, which also includes a large portfolio of his work and a detailed chronological biography.

Summary:
Idealized representations of America, as both an aspiration and a menace, played an important role in shaping Russian architecture and urban design from the American Revolution until the fall of the Soviet Union. In Building a new New World, Jean-Louis Cohen traces the concept of “Amerikanizm” and its impact on Russia’s built environment from early czarist interest in Revolutionary America, through the spectacular World’s Fairs of the nineteenth century, to department stores, skyscrapers, and factories built in Russia using American methods during the twentieth century. Visions of America also captivated the Russian avant-garde, from El Lissitzky to Moisei Ginzburg, and Cohen explores the ongoing artistic dialogue maintained between the two countries at the mid-century and in the late Soviet era, when the Cold War induced a strategic competition. Tracing the many journeys of Russian writers, politicians, and planners through the American territory, foregrounding the constant streams of cultural and technological transfer from the U.S.A. to Russia, and revealing the parallel fascination among Russian and American intellectuals with the ongoing pursuit of land occupation and development within their respective borders, this study of Amerikanizm in the architecture and urban design of Russia makes a timely contribution to our understanding of modern architecture and its broader geopolitics.

Summary:
With "Atacama", Jamey Stillings again shares his distinctive aerial perspective to examine dramatic large-scale renewable energy projects, the visual dynamic of enormous mining operations and the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert, so often scarred by human activity. Chile produces a third of the world’s copper and has the largest known lithium reserves, and we utilize these resources daily in our cars, computers and smartphones. The country’s mining industry has traditionally been dependent on imported coal, diesel and natural gas for its energy. Yet the Atacama Desert has excellent solar and wind potential: new renewable energy projects there now supply significant electricity to the northern grid, transmit power to population centers in the south, and are reducing mining’s dependence on fossil fuel. Stillings’ aesthetic interest in the human-altered landscape and concerns for environmental sustainability are principal pillars of his work. His photography elicits a critical dialogue about meeting our needs and desires while seeking equilibrium between nature and human activity. "Atacama," the latest chapter in his ongoing project "Changing perspectives," shows how photography can concurrently be a source of inspiration, motivation and information, and reminds us that a carbon-constrained future is crucial to a responsible approach to life on earth.

Canada is a country whose national narrative is difficult to define, even for Canadians. This question is further complicated when looking at emerging artists who have grown up under intense globalization.

Summary:
Canada is a country whose national narrative is difficult to define, even for Canadians. This question is further complicated when looking at emerging artists who have grown up under intense globalization. In Canada, specific identities are difficult to pinpoint and, when they are, they are often portrayed as problematic stereotypes bound up in a colonialist history. “Alternorthern” was conceived in the tension that exists between nationalism, globalization, and individualism: the exhibition is a product of both cultural values and cultural hybridism. The nine artists in this exhibition function similarly in that they use their own identities to make gestures that transgress time and space. Each artist in the exhibition is Canadian, yet each creates work that speaks to issues pertinent to both Canadian and global geographic and political landscapes. The exhibition will open during the 2010 Olympics, when many of the stereotypes, symbols, themes, and political workings of Canada will be disseminated into the U.S. media. As Canada is in the throes of presenting its tourist identity on the international stage, this exhibition can function as a way of transgressing this identity. Thus, the curators see this exhibition not as a response to the event of the Olympics but as an opportunity to subvert and play with cultural dialogue that will exist during this time.

Summary:
Over the past twenty years, an abundance of art forms have emerged that use aesthetics to affect social dynamics. These works are often produced by collectives or come out of a community context; they emphasize participation, dialogue, and action, and appear in situations ranging from theater to activism to urban planning to visual art to health care. Engaged with the texture of living, these art works often blur the line between art and life. This book offers the first global portrait of a complex and exciting mode of cultural production — one that has virtually redefined contemporary art practice. This publication grew out of a major exhibition at Creative Time in New York City. Like the exhibition, the book is a landmark survey of more than 100 projects selected by a thirty-person curatorial advisory team; each project is documented by a selection of color images. The artists include the Danish collective Superflex, who empower communities to challenge corporate interest; Turner Prize nominee Jeremy Deller, creator of socially and politically charged performance works; Women on Waves, who provide abortion services and information to women in regions where the procedure is illegal; and Santiágo Cirugeda, an architect who builds temporary structures to solve housing problems.

Trois décennies d’engagement au service de la collectivité: c’est en ces termes qu’on pourrait qualifier l’action publique de Jean-Pierre Dresco, envisagée comme le reflet d’une période où toute une génération d’architectes remet progressivement en cause les bienfaits du progrès et de la modernité et envisage son métier essentiellement sous un angle éthique, social et économique. Cet ouvrage collectif s’attache à retracer les principaux moments qui ont balisé sa longue carrière, tout en mettant l’accent sur la période comprise entre 1972 et 1998 où il est architecte cantonal du Canton de Vaud. On assiste alors à l’émergence «d’une ère nouvelle cadrée dans une perspective culturelle», en phase avec les multiples enjeux de l’époque, qui s’avère pourtant moins complexe que l’actuelle, comme il en ressort d’un dialogue entre l’ancien et le présent architecte cantonal. Adepte des vertus de la pluridisciplinarité, Jean-Pierre Dresco a, tout au long de son activité dans la fonction publique, porté un regard d’architecte sur les choses. En effet, intimement convaincu de la nécessité d’instaurer ce qui fait «lien» avec les autres, tant au niveau professionnel qu’avec le public, il n’a pas pour autant perdu l’intérêt pour l’art sous ses formes les plus exigeantes: l’art de bâtir, l’art de restaurer, l’art tout court.

Summary:
In landscape architecture, representation has become the subject of contention and much discussion. While computer techniques have been a catalyst for change across the field of design as a whole, nowhere have the conventions of representation been called into question more than in landscape architecture – which in itself is undergoing a process of reinvention. With the onset of rapid urbanisation and our shifting relationship with nature, landscape architecture has proved a potent lens for expressing a wider dialogue taking place in the world. It is, however, only through the introduction of innovative forms of representation – whether digital, analogue or hybrid – that one most vividly sees the emergence of the new. In this book, Diana Balmori explores notions of representation in the discipline at large and across time. She takes us back to landscape design’s roots in the seventeenth century in France and the eighteenth century in England, when it first grappled with questions of imagined exterior space. She explores the discipline’s relationship to painting and the influence of cartography with its bird's-eye views, topographic sections and perspectives. She highlights how new attempts at representation by modern landscape artists such as Patricia Johanson, Ian Hamilton Finlay and David Hockney continue to wrestle with the depiction of landscape.
