Summary:
Les images s’incarnent dans une infinie diversité d’objets, de phénomènes et de situations, semblant toujours résister à notre irrépressible besoin de les définir. À moins, peut-être, de se demander d’où elles viennent. Œuvres peintes, diagrammes, cartes, images télévisuelles, images scientifiques, ombres, photographies satellites, dessins pariétaux, se côtoient ainsi ici(...)

Œuvres peintes, diagrammes, cartes, images télévisuelles, images scientifiques, ombres, photographies satellites, dessins pariétaux, se côtoient ainsi ici en douze « tableaux », pour nous faire cheminer dans cette zone liminaire et fragile où les images sont tout juste des images. Aux frontières et aux origines même de la représentation visuelle, les images premières peuvent nous aider à préciser, à raffiner, à définir, à la fois ce que nous savons sur l’image et ce que nous pouvons savoir par l’image.

Summary:
Montessori schools became trendsetting educational institutions early on, and their concept is strongly reflected in their architecture and equipment. This is the first book that comprehensively addresses architectural design, construction, and the use of materials in and the furnishing of educational spaces according to Montessori’s ideas. The book’s first part explores spatial and design principles that make up good kindergarten and school buildings. In the second part, nine case studies are featured in detail through photographs, plans, and concise texts. These examples are located in Europe (the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain) as well as in tropical countries (Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka). Thus, this highly illustrative volume offers practical advice and a wealth of information that is of utmost importance for the design of school buildings in general.

Alexander Dorner écrivit le dépassement de l’ «art» en 1947, à dessein de reconstruire les outils dont se servent l’histoire de l’art, l’esthétique et la muséologie, – à commencer par le concept d’art.

Indissolublement lié à la représentation d’un espace à trois dimensions peuplé de formes exprimant des essences immuables, l’ «art» était, à ses yeux, voué à céder le pas à une «nouvelle espèce de communication visuelle» qui serait en phase avec les découvertes de la physique. Il en voyait l’émergence dans le travail d’artistes-designers, issus du constructivisme et du Bauhaus. L’ouvrage explicite en outre les principes ayant guidé Dorner dans ses expérimentations muséologiques : premier directeur d’un musée d’art contemporain, dont il aurait aimé faire une «centrale électrique sociale» productrice de nouvelles énergies, Dorner demeure une référence cruciale pour nombre d’historiens de l’art, de conservateurs et de commissaires d’exposition.

Summary:
Peter Eisenman, one of the greatest contemporary architects, taught in Italy in 1986 at the IUAV University of Venice. This book, edited by his students Raffaella Laezza and Shuli Beimel aims to be a lucid witness of a period of great cultural change in international architectural design that found at IUAV, in the academic year 1986-87, in Peter Eisenman’s Architectural Composition III course one of its most significant moments. Twenty-five students, selected by the American professor, were introduced to new thinking and a new design method that confronted the concepts of ''time / site / space'' in a completely innovative way. This caused in each young student a real ''crash''. But wasn’t such a ''crash'' already an unstoppable, international wave? The book invites us into the thinking of the American architect who states in the interview, ''I have always loved Italy, the culture, the food, the people, so making this book was very important to me.''

''Painting Photography Painting'' is the essential first collection of essays by critic and theorist Carol Armstrong, bringing together writings encompassing the many inflection points of her academic work, including French painting, early photography, feminist theory, and the representation of women and gender in the visual arts. In the book’s titular essay, Armstrong asks of Ellen Gallagher’s 2008 painting ''An Experiment of Unusual Opportunity'', which depicts a barely-visible sea creature created out of ink, graphite, oil, varnish, and variously sliced paper, ‘in what sense is this a painting exactly?’ This enquiry into the very essence of the medium provides a thread that runs throughout the book’s wide-ranging essays and ties together a variety of works on paper ‘inscribed, drawn, printed, photographed, and variously pierced and punctured’.

Gathering contributions from artists, writers and theorists, Fieldwork for Future Ecologies addresses the role that art and art-based research plays in expanding notions of fieldwork. At once a research handbook and a philosophical speculation, it explores ways of working within diverse climates using image, sound, movement and other sensing technologies, and also offers more creative interventions into the idea of "the field" itself. Focusing on projects from various geographic locations and situations, the book highlights the crucial contribution that art can make to environmental and climate studies.

Written over a period of 20 years from 1970, shortly after his graduation from the Architectural Association (AA), to 1990, the essays cover a wide range of architectural concerns: domestic space, society’s involvement with building types, aspects of geometry, modes of projection and drawing as a process for generating ideas. The book includes ‘Mies van der Rohe’s Paradoxical Symmetries’ and other essays first published in AA Files. Evans’s writings are supported by a new introduction and an annotated bibliography by Richard Difford.

Summary:
For some time, artists and intellectuals struggled for the sovereign right to present themselves to society in their own way – to become self-created works of art. Today everybody has not only a right but also an obligation to practice self-design. We are responsible for the way we present ourselves to others – and we cannot get rid of this aesthetic responsibility. However, we are not able to produce our own bodies. Before we begin to practice self-design, we find ourselves already designed by the gaze of others. That is why the practice of self-design mostly takes a critical and confrontational turn. We want to bring others to see us in the way we want to be seen – not only during our earthly life but also after our death. This is a complicated struggle, and the aim of this book is to describe and analyze it.
