Summary:
The architectural work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt (1890–1954/1889–1972) is not yet adequately appreciated. As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin’s Alexanderplatz.(...)

Summary:

As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin’s Alexanderplatz. While their early work was anchored in utopian expressionism, a more objective attitude emerged later, based on the application of new architectural constructs. The book documents all 40 of Hans und Wassili Luckhardt’s realized buildings. Two essays deal with the unbuilt and utopian projects. Newly taken photographs and newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn complement the historical illustrations.

Pour tenter de changer le cours de cet engrenage, toute intervention spatiale sur notre environnement, qu’elle que soit son échelle, ne peut plus faire l’impasse sur la nécessité de répondre aux enjeux de la transition environnementale, sociétale et économique en intégrant les dimensions publique, collective et privée. Dans cette optique, « Architectures Wallonie-Bruxelles Inventaires #4 » valorise une centaine d’approches spatiales engagées dans cette transition et réalisées en Wallonie et à Bruxelles entre 2020 et 2023.

Summary:
Grace Ndiritu delves into radical approaches to education, drawing from her self-directed research in alternative, nomadic, and spiritual communities. Her experiences - from Buddhist monasteries to permaculture communities - profoundly shaped her understanding of embodied learning and its relevance in times of social upheaval. "Being together: A manual for living" reflects on these themes, weaving voices from her social practices to explore collective action and shared destiny within the context of contemporary art education. This second edition, enriched with new essays, deepens the dialogue around these ideas. Published alongside her solo exhibition "The compassionate rebels, tools for everyday living part 1" at Page Not Found, the book extends the exhibition’s exploration of transformative educational practices and communal living.

Les changements climatiques entrainent des bouleversements qui frappent l’imaginaire et font les manchettes. Mais certains impacts sont plus subtils, plus intimes: la perte de la neige en décembre, par exemple, ou celle de l’odeur d’une fleur qui embaumait jadis nos étés.

Mais certains impacts sont plus subtils, plus intimes: la perte de la neige en décembre, par exemple, ou celle de l’odeur d’une fleur qui embaumait jadis nos étés. Ce deuil des paysages disparus ou transformés a un nom: solastalgie. Dans cet essai, Catherine D’Amours ancre ce concept encore neuf dans le territoire québécois, sur les battures du Saint-Laurent comme dans les ruelles de Montréal. Portée par une quête de beauté, l’autrice mène une lutte contre l’amnésie collective, cette posture d’ignorance volontaire qui nous permet de mettre l’écoanxiété en sourdine. Elle tente ici de trouver un autre vocabulaire pour aborder cette crise qui nous remplit d’angoisse.

(from "Brands and Desires") Brands identify products and services. Yet a brand is much more than a "brand name" or a "brand logo" on a "brand-name product." Brands reflect individual and collective desires that go far beyond a product's utilitarian benefit. Brands are found in every business and in every market. The sense of fascination they evoke is the key to the success of such brands. "Brands and Desires" presents twenty-five vivid examples of the link between brands and desires.

Summary:
With a focus on social reality and a respect for local context and vernacular craftsmanship, Liu Jiakun's work shows a rare attempt to translate and transfer traditional Chinese cultural ethos into contemporary architectural language, and represents a fine quality of intertexture between individual and collective memories. Many of these projects throw light on the reciprocal relation between Chinese people's public life and urban cultural space. Aedes exclusively presents mainly local projects in Chengdu including West Village Yard. The exhibition unfolds urban evolutionary history and the genius loci of the city, as well as demonstrates Chengdu's humanistic standpoint in practicing a new model of urbanization. It aims to open a new chapter of urban development dialogue between Germany and China.

Originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984, in these essays and images Sekula sought to portray the inextricable bond between labour and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to argue passionately for a collective model of progress. Sekula taught at California Institute of Arts (CalArts) from 1985 until his death in 2013, and from that insider's position he critiqued photography and the circumstances of its production and consumption, exposing what the medium failed to represent – women, labourers, minorities and the institutional structures that reinforce cultural biases.

Summary:
This volume presents an overview of the Canadian collective oeuvre—an oeuvre still haunted by Miss General Idea, a fictive character who was at once muse and object, image and concept. Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal—both disappeared in 1994—and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that "freed it from the tyranny of individual genius."(...)

Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal—both disappeared in 1994—and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that "freed it from the tyranny of individual genius." Their complex intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a transgressive and often parodic take on art and society. Treating the image as a virus infiltrating every aspect of the real world, General Idea set out to colonize it, modify its content and so come up with an alternative version of reality.

During the past several decades, contemporary artists have asked critical questions about the way in which history is constructed through images, particularly those that are disseminated by the mass media. As the media has increasingly assumed the role of historiographer, there is a danger of losing the diversity of our historical narratives. Add to this the globalization of our culture, and we are faced with a potential dulling of our collective historical awareness. In Questioning History, editors Frank van der Stok, Frits Gierstberg and Flip Bool focus on different ways in which contemporary visual artists, photographers and filmmakers have constructed historical narratives through images and offer a selection of essays that examine artists' innovative challenges to prevailing historical narratives.
