Summary:
The architecture of Alex Popov is firmly grounded in an abstract monumentality. His response is not mimetic, it does not attempt to merge into or become one within a particular context, but rather establishes a relationship through juxtaposition and contrast, the framing of views, and the light filled spatial experience within. The architect's recent work has become one(...)

Summary:
The architecture of Alex Popov is firmly grounded in an abstract monumentality. His response is not mimetic, it does not attempt to merge into or become one within a particular context, but rather establishes a relationship through juxtaposition and contrast, the framing of views, and the light filled spatial experience within. The architect's recent work has become one of the most significant expressions of Australian contemporary architecture. Ten recent projects are examined here through sketches, formal drawings and colour photographs.

"Given the fact that [they] had committed the entire building to me, it seemed obvious that I should display my presence from the outside. The display is a signal.

This mysterious matter, invisible, undetectable, and in a way ‘hypothetical’, is the inspiration behind this book and the second solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma (b 1975) at the galerie agnès b.(...)

According to some recent astrophysical theories, the Universe is largely composed of matter known as black or dark – ‘Dark Matter’ – because it does not react to light. This mysterious matter, invisible, undetectable, and in a way ‘hypothetical’, is the inspiration behind this book and the second solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma (b 1975) at the galerie agnès b. This enigmatic name, conjuring both the scientific and the esoteric, directly reflects the artistic research and graphic experimentation which Benchamma reveals in his latest work.
