Summary:
Aujourd'hui, dans une société qui cherche les voies accessibles pour sa modernisation et qui se trouve devant de grandes mutations, il est essentiel de donner à cette réflexion sur la guerre et la paix, la place qu'elle mérite. Son actualité concernant les notions de responsabilité individuelle et collective au regard des grands problèmes que soulève l'histoire contemporaine est évidente. La guerre a eu lieu, celle de Troie comme toutes les autres, et elle ne cesse en vérité de se produire. La guerre ne s'oppose pas seulement à la paix, elle est déjà en germe dans notre existence quotidienne. Le présent de toutes les guerres est toujours notre absence de présence à ce que nous pensons réellement.

Summary:
Cet éloge de la bicyclette passe par trois moments : le mythe, l'épopée et l'utopie. La bicyclette a une dimension mythique qui est à la fois individuelle et collective. Aujourd'hui le mythe a pris un coup. Mais la bicyclette revient par la politique de la ville et son image est l'objet d'un regain d'enthousiasme. L'opération Vélib' est très insuffisante, mais elle ouvre(...)

Aujourd'hui le mythe a pris un coup. Mais la bicyclette revient par la politique de la ville et son image est l'objet d'un regain d'enthousiasme. L'opération Vélib' est très insuffisante, mais elle ouvre une espérance. On peut se prendre à rêver et tracer les grands traits de la ville utopique de demain où les transports en commun et la bicyclette seraient les seuls moyens de déplacement en ville et où la paix, l'égalité et le bon air règneraient dans le monde après l'effondrement des magnats du pétrole.

Summary:
The descriptive Next Generation underlines the guiding principle behind the firms chosen for this fourth installment in the series: the majority of practices are less than five years old, and more than half of them have only been in existence for two or three years. The firms included in this edition, with a few exceptions, collectively represent the youngest firms in the four iterations of Twenty + Change. Selected by a curatorial committee from more than 160 submissions, these projects by thirteen organizations engage the public realm in meaningful ways, posit new models for collective living and urban infill, advance the role of sustainability and vernacular craft, and explore opportunities for speculative and self-initiated commissions.

Summary:
Things We Do Together. The Post-Reader is a collection of essays and honest conversations with practitioners. It is based on experiences and observations of long-term processes taking place at the intersection of art, education, and activism. Collaboration is more than simply a mechanism for the collective management of resources. It can be a way of disrupting existing systems both in the art world and in everyday life, where capitalism and extreme individualism lead to the collapse of communities and the deepening of social inequalities. The publication’s starting point was the exhibition-meeting "Gotong Royong Things We Do Together" at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, at the end of 2017.

Summary:
Jan Lucassen provides an inclusive history of humanity’s busy labor throughout the ages. Spanning China, India, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, Lucassen looks at the ways in which humanity organizes work: in the household, the tribe, the city, and the state. He examines how labor is split between men, women, and children; the watershed moment of the invention of money; the collective action of workers; and at the impact of migration, slavery, and the idea of leisure. From peasant farmers in the first agrarian societies to the precarious existence of today’s gig workers, this surprising account of both cooperation and subordination at work throws essential light on the opportunities we face today.

Summary:
Looking beyond East/West and North/South divisions, the ''Art and solidarity reader'' asks: what were and are the alternative circuits of survival and solidarity among artists and activists from nonaligned nations and politically challenging contexts? What do these trajectories of solidarity lead to, in and outside of art worlds? How can traveling exhibitions, museological displays, the idea of ''the museum in exile,'' artistic actions and performative groupings become tools for political struggle against oppression and social fragmentation? The ''Art and solidarity reader'' gathers microhistories from the 1970s to today, rethinking our collective responses to the multiple crises related to migration, colonialism, rising radicalization, religious conflicts, class divisions, new technology, heteronormativity and environmental urgencies.

Summary:
Délaissé sur un sommet légendaire des Balkans, le monument de Bouzloudja, utopie de béton devenue un mème iconique des réseaux sociaux, incarne le rêve déchu d’édifier un Panthéon du communisme dans le ciel de la Bulgarie. De Marx à l’urbex, les tribulations de ce sanctuaire moderniste inauguré en 1981, inspiré des tombes thraces et des courbes de Niemeyer, montrent comment la religiosité du socialisme réel à la sauce bulgare a été réinvestie par le tourisme récréatif des fans de lieux abandonnés. Objet de nostalgie amnésique, le site n’en constitue pas moins un héritage encombrant pour la Bulgarie post-communiste, dont la mémoire collective s’accommode tant bien que mal de cet ovni architectural symbolisant une discordance des temps.

Pour réaliser ce nouveau travail, Lionel Jusseret s'est immergé durant 6 mois dans le quotidien d'une maison de retraite. Il y rencontre une communauté invisible qui malgré elle, se retrouve en marge de la société. Ces hommes et ces femmes nés entre 1920 et 1945, appelés la génération silencieuse. Ayant traversé la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ils ont connu le manque et ont travaillé dur toute leur vie. Peu revendicatifs, ils sont décrits comme fatalistes et conventionnels. Cette vision généraliste et quelque peu réductrice ne rend que peu hommage à ces Mamy et Papy, dont l'univers en papier peint fleuri fait écho à lui seul à toute notre enfance, à nos mémoires affective et collective...
