Summary:
Roger's Connection demonstrates the link between form and function in structures, both natural and man made. The magnetic connections allow an infinite number of angles to be made at each hub which are not locked into place. Without a locking mechanism, it is not possible to build artificially stable structures which stand by virtue of a rigid connection. Therefore(...)

Summary:
Roger's Connection demonstrates the link between form and function in structures, both natural and man made. The magnetic connections allow an infinite number of angles to be made at each hub which are not locked into place. Without a locking mechanism, it is not possible to build artificially stable structures which stand by virtue of a rigid connection. Therefore Roger's Connection only allows forms to be erected which are stable due strictly to their form. A valuable lesson for aspiring architects, engineers and professionals concerned with structure.

Summary:
Pour ses petits-enfants, le peintre André Masson avait fait des dessins destinés à être coloriés. Un certain nombre a été retrouvé et la couleur a été retirée. Reste le dessin original. Au-delà du jeu de coloriages, c'est à une véritable entrée dans son univers qu'André Masson nous invite avec ses héros fabuleux, ses mages soldats, ses bouffons dans des paysages peuplés de comètes et d'animaux, de mers et de montagnes. D'un trait rapide, il jongle avec les soleils, joue avec les vagues et trace d'étranges visages. C'est aussi un document exceptionnel sur l'oeuvre d'un des plus grands artistes du XXème siècle.
