There is no other period in the history of the Netherlands which excites such emotion, resistance or aversion as the period between 1970 and 1980.

Summary:
There is no other period in the history of the Netherlands which excites such emotion, resistance or aversion as the period between 1970 and 1980. There are also varying opinions about architecture in the 1970s. Architecture at that time headed off in pursuit of new definitions and forms. Though a number of architectural movements were driven by a devoted social engagement and a profound belief in architecture as a means of moulding society, there was such a varied choice that it did not generate a single and unanimous alternative, resulting instead in polarization and pluriformity. This volume focuses on architecture, urban planning and spatial planning in the period 1968 - 1982. Remarkable and specific projects from this period are discussed and extensively documented on the basis of six themes. An introductory essay considers the context in which the architecture and urban planning changed so radically during this period. So far there has been little research into the architecture and planning of the 1970s in the Netherlands, even though it is a period when changes took on a definitive form. With the imminent demolition and renovation of much of the infrastructure and architecture of the 1970s, this book is a document that bears witness to the importance of this period for architecture in the Netherlands.

Recapitulative publication about Le Magasin, Centre National d’Art Contemporain de Grenoble. Considered, since its opening in 1986, a model rehabilitation of an abandoned industrial site for contemporary art, Le Magasin of Grenoble is emerging from a period of renovation. For its reopening, the center wished to publish an assessment of its activity. The book reunites exhaustive documentation on the programming of the three successive directors, and chose to highlight certain projects, for the most part never published, of artists such as Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Robert Barry, Joseph Beuys, Alighiero Boetti, Monica Bonvicini, Daniel Buren, Chen Zhen, Sylvie Fleury, Liam Gillick & Philippe Parreno, Jack Goldstein, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, the GRAV, Jim Isermann, Ilya Kabakov, Mike Kelley, Barbara Kruger, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Matt Mullican, Richard Prince, Thomas Ruff, Allen Ruppersberg, Jim Shaw, Philippe Thomas, Xavier Veilhan, Lawrence Weiner, etc. Auteurs / authors : Paul Ardenne, Lionel Bovier, Laura Cottingham, Paul McCarthy, Stéphanie Moisdon Trembley, Frank Perrin, Eric Troncy.

Summary:
"Peeking through the Keyhole" is about transformations in the way we live and the places we call home. Until the past few decades, transitions in the style of homes and types of households were slow and gradual. With today's instant communication, the way we observe other people, other cultures, and other times has altered, and been altered by, the homes we live in. Avi Friedman and David Krawitz guide the reader through the trends and changes that have influenced residential design and construction over the last fifty years. From kitchens to home offices to entire neighbourhoods, they unravel the effect of technology and consumerism on the way we perceive and use domestic space, arguing that the home is no longer a product of pure design but a response to factors and forces beyond the control of designers, builders, and users. Each chapter approaches the theme of home from a different vantage point: the first three chapters focus on food and kitchens, communication, construction and renovation; the middle chapters deal with childhood and aging; and the final chapters examine our ideas of home in the context of the broader community and as an object of commerce. The authors demonstrate how much life has changed in the years following the Second World War, showing how transformations in society, the economy, and lifestyles are reflected in our homes.

Michael Wesely : open shutter : the museum of modern art

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
Since the early 1990s, German photographer Michael Wesely has been inventing and refining techniques for using extremely long camera exposures to take uniquely compelling photographs. Through the use of filters and a very small aperture, yet one that is standard in a professional camera lens, he is able to diminish the amount of light hitting the negative to the point where he can extend the exposure many thousands of times longer than we would ordinarily expect. Some of Wesely’s pictures of the rebuilding of Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, for example, in a series completed in 1999, were continuously exposed over a period of 26 months. The results of Wesely’s explorations are as surprising as they are beautiful. In 2001, as The Museum of Modern Art began to prepare for its ambitious construction and renovation project, a turning point in its history, it recognized in Wesely’s work an unequalled opportunity to artistically document that project. In August of that year, then, Wesely set specially designed cameras in long-term installations in and around the museum, choosing his locations for the construction views they provided. Nearly three years later, the images are complete, and their pentimento-like strata of transparencies and overlays render the construction project’s evolution in time as a dense and delicate network of forms and colors in space. "Open shutter" accompanies an exhibition organized by Sarah Hermanson Meister, Associate curator of the museum’s Department of photography. Included in the book are several images of the construction of the new Museum of Modern Art.
