De la peinture au cinéma en passant par la littérature, la musique, le jeu vidéo ou le manga, Julien Abadie signe un essai trépidant qui, tout en prenant comme personnage central le film culte Speed Racer, peut se lire comme une plaidoirie pour une contre-accélération, le manifeste trans de toute une bit génération.

This catalogue casts new light on the painting (reproducing all of its studies together for the first time), the avant-garde use of print media, and Léger's fascination with cinema and architecture, and contextualizes a network of international avant-gardes - including Blaise Cendrars, Le Corbusier, Jean Epstein, Piet Mondrian, Amedee Ozenfant, Francis Picabia and Theo van Doesburg - in relation to Léger.

Summary:
Dóra Maurer (born 1937, lives in Budapest) is considered a prominent figure on the Hungarian neo-avant-garde scene. She is one of the artists who have been taking progressive paths outside of Hungary’ s official state cultural policies since the 1960s. Her work in the mediums of print making, photographs, film, performance art, and painting features a conceptual approach. Major aspects are perception, movement, displacement, and transformation. In the early years of West-Germany, abstract art was introduced as a political new beginning in that it represented the so-called open society. Accordingly, numerous collections in German museums are oriented toward this, including the one at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, whose building was designed by the US-American architect Philip Johnson. While abstract art in the West was considered " free of ideologies " and instrumentalized as such, abstraction in countries such as Hungary, which was part of the Eastern bloc at the time, certainly had an “ oppositional” connotation. Due to both the non-representational nature of her works as well as her contacts and travels in the West prior to 1989 (permitted thanks to her Hungarian-Austrian dual citizenship), Maurer occupies a special position within the Hungarian art world, which in those days was mainly dominated by Socialist Realism. In her experiments in photography and film in the 1970s, as well as in her abstract, geometric works based on a process of displacement, there are obvious parallels to Western European and US-American post-war art. In fact, however, her oeuvre is inconceivable without her experience of life under the official Hungarian system during the socialist period.

Born in Kiev in 1917, at the start of the Russian Revolution, Maya Deren died forty-four years later in New York City. In her brief life, she established herself as a pioneering experimental filmmaker, prolific writer, accomplished photographer, and crusader for a personal and poetic cinema. Although Deren completed only six short films in her lifetime, her impact on the history of cinema is immeasurable. This is the first full biography of Deren. Based on years of research, interviews with some of Deren’s closest collaborators, and generously illustrated with film stills and photographs, author Mark Alice Durant creates a vivid and accessible narrative exploring the complexities and contradictions in the life and work of this remarkable and charismatic artist.

Summary:
The Eberswalde Library has been compared to a Warhol painting. Designed in collaboration with artist Thomas Ruff, it carries the idea of a pictorial façade further than any other Herzog & de Meuron project. The building is a simple cube sheathed in glazing and cast-concrete panels, arranged in horizontal bands. Each band shows a single image, repeated sixty-six times, like a static film strip. The images are drawn from Ruff’s own archive of newspaper photographs, and encompass the decorative, the symbolic, and the politically charged. Combining elements which have long been deemed incompatible – minimalism and ornament, purity and baroque fullness, concrete box and pictorial façade, space and surface – Herzog & de Meuron’s new library challenges the conventions of modernism.

His latest body of work, debuted in this deluxe, oversize (16.75 by 13 inches), landscape-format volume, comprises dazzling, sublime photographs of landscapes and natural scenes—in negative, but using color with great dexterity and nuance. Inspired by Ansel Adams’ comparison of the photographic negative to a musical score, and John Cage’s 1969 book, "Notations," which compiles music scores as art, Misrach here envisages the photographic image as a score-like negative, teetering on abstraction, that invites a diversity of interpretations. The result is a series of immense beauty unlike any previous Misrach publication.

McKernan has spent the past ten years documenting the city’s evolution, and these photographs reflect both the grandeur and decay of this modern urban landscape. As well as Liverpool’s architectural landmarks, "Unfamiliar journeys" captures deserted warehouses, boarded-up butchers’ shops, the cathedral glimpsed between shabby terraces. Signs of Liverpool’s recent economic boom – billboards, towering high-rises, skeletal construction cranes – also feature. It takes a moment to realize that there are no people in McKernan’s vision of the city. The unusual viewpoints and stark pattern of cast shadows caught on black and white silver-based film enhances this feeling of eerie enchantment.
