Summary:
"In/Different Spaces" explores the construction of identities in the psychical space between perception and consciousness, drawing upon psychoanalytic theories to describe the constitution and maintenance of "self" and "us"- in imaginary spatial and temporal relations to "other" and "them" - through the all-important relay of images. For Burgin, the image is never a(...)

"In/Different Spaces" explores the construction of identities in the psychical space between perception and consciousness, drawing upon psychoanalytic theories to describe the constitution and maintenance of "self" and "us"- in imaginary spatial and temporal relations to "other" and "them" - through the all-important relay of images. For Burgin, the image is never a transparent representation of the world but rather a principal player on the stage of history.

Summary:
This is a conceptual journey through Joep van Lieshout’s radical thought experiments. The art and design produced by the artist’s studio go beyond aesthetic objects, becoming functional tools for an alternative way of life. The book is like an architectural blueprint for an imaginary house. Readers can wander from one room to another, where each space has specific, logical, aesthetical, surprising, and also sometimes unsettling elements. In this way the works are a test – an invitation to look past the initial shock the viewer might experience. This imaginary house does not tell us how to live, but teaches that we must consciously think about the way we organise our lives.

Summary:
The Soviet Union was founded on a fairytale. It was built on 20th-century magic called 'the planned economy', which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the penny-pinching lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. "Red Plenty" is about that moment in(...)

Summary:
The Soviet Union was founded on a fairytale. It was built on 20th-century magic called 'the planned economy', which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the penny-pinching lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. "Red Plenty" is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan, every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche and sputniks would lead the way to the stars. And it's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending.

Summary:
L'anthologie du fondateur de la Poésie Concrète au Brésil, auteur d'une œuvre radicale aussi influente dans le champ littéraire qu'artistique. L'anthologie bilingue Poètemoins d'Augusto de Campos regroupe un choix de poèmes à partir de ses trois recueils Viva Vaia (Viva Vivant), Despoesia (Dépoésie) et Nao Poemas (Non Poèmes), des mythiques Poetamenos de 1953 à ses dernières créations. L'ouvrage commence (couverture) par un hommage à Mallarmé, l'hologramme Poema Bomba, à partir d'une phrase citée par Sartre : «Il n'y a pas d'autre bombe qu'un poème» et se termine par une phrase de Mallarmé mise en page typographiquement à la manière concrétiste : «Des contemporains ne savent pas lire», en réponse à un reproche d'obscurité qu'on lui faisait. Cette traduction des principaux poèmes d'Augusto de Campos, le poète de São Paulo à l'origine en 1953, avec le poète suisse Eugen Gomringer, du mouvement international de la Poésie Concrète, a été réalisée à partir notamment des derniers recueils parus au Brésil, dont Não, Non. Les derniers poèmes (notamment présentés dans le cadre de la 11e Biennale de Lyon) sont en fait des fichiers informatiques conçus comme des œuvres. La question posée est celle de la modernité en écriture. Augusto de Campos nous renvoie à cette modernité initiée en France par le Coup de Dés de Mallarmé ou les Idéogrammes lyriques d'Apollinaire. Un poème pose la question de la post avant-garde : Pós-tudo, Post-tout. Avec le mot «MUDO», à la fois «je change» et «muet». L'usage de l'ordinateur comme médium ouvre de nouvelles possibilités à cette avant-garde. Ce qui n'empêche pas le livre, comme en témoigne cet objet, impossible à réaliser sans l'ordinateur. Préface et traductions : Jacques Donguy.
