Summary:
Ever since the term Middle Ages came into use, this historical era has been inextricably bound up with notions of alterity. Beginning in the 14th century, the picture of a dark age was utilized as a foil to set off the ideals of Renaissance enlightenment and humanism; later on, the Romantics pioneered the vision of the Middle Ages as an era unspoiled by advancing industrialization, onto which they projected their longing for a way of life in harmony with nature and spirituality. The temptation to escape the complex and unsettled present for an allegedly simpler past is also characteristic of references to the Middle Ages in contemporary pop culture and politics. This issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST counters such simplistic perspectives with a more nuanced portrayal of the Middle Ages that acknowledges historical parallels and continuities as well as contradictions.

Log 66: spring 2026, Walls
$25.00
(available in store)
Summary:
When architects draw plans, they start by drawing walls. But what is a wall? What is behind it? What is inside it? The ubiquitous architectural element is at once a support, a canvas, a barricade, a boundary, and a political actor that enables both justice and injustice. Log 66: Walls addresses these questions and expands on these uses. For Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama, the wall(...)

Summary:
When architects draw plans, they start by drawing walls. But what is a wall? What is behind it? What is inside it? The ubiquitous architectural element is at once a support, a canvas, a barricade, a boundary, and a political actor that enables both justice and injustice. Log 66: Walls addresses these questions and expands on these uses. For Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama, the wall produces and protects individual freedom, whereas Anthony Titus sees the wall as an instrument of simultaneous constraint and dependence. Elle Gerdeman, Iman Fayyad, Oscar Zamora, and Elizabeth Bowie Christoforetti probe into different residential walls to critique the culture of contemporary construction, while Courtney Coffman investigates the curtain as a partition.

Summary:
Vector Architects, founded by Gong Dong in 2008, has prioritised the relationship of built work to its site, from seasides or mountains to the heart of the city, while investigating both natural and artificial landmarks for clues on how best to address the requirements of each programme. And while the office is no stranger to bold gestures, a recent work such as the Jingyang Camphor Court seems to retreat from view, knitting itself into the urban fabric until structure and surroundings become inseparable. The issue also features Xiangshan Library, Changjiang Art Museum, Shanghai Maritime Pavilion, and more, plus essays by Gong Dong, David Leatherbarrow, and Michele Bonino.

À travers une série de rencontres : traductions, mutations, fuites et autres longs parcours, il se tourne, pour penser art et politique, vers des créateurices d'Amérique latine.

Une invitation à écrire ensemble, marcher hors des grandes routes pour réduire les distances, contourner les dominations et chercher des ancrages sensibles dans un territoire blessé.

Summary:
"Perspecta 32" is an investigation into architectural modernism in a postmodern age and exploration of surface as a subject with depth. If it is understood that we are now in age that that does not look at modernity uncritically, how does its optimistic imagery continue to play a vital role in architecture? The issue, "Resurfacing modernism", is composed of essays and images that invoke the two simultaneous meanings of the verb tu resurface. In the first sense, some of the contributors interrogate ongoing returns of past "stylistics", specially the recent vogue for postwar, mostly American, production loosely united under the rubric "The fifties". In the second, other contributors reflect upon current emphasis being placed on architectural surfaces.
