Summary:
Pivot is a new peer-reviewed graduate academic interdisciplinary journal involving the Departments of Art History, Studio Arts and Communication Studies. The Journal is produced out of Concordia University, which presents a unique site for the exploration of interdisciplinarity within the humanities, where the disciplines of Art History, Studio Arts and Communication Studies are continually negotiating shared and divided scholarly territories. Taking our cue from journals that combine art making and academic writing, such as Afterall and LTTR, Pivot recognizes art production as a site for scholarly exploration, and accepts content in the form of academic papers, artist project descriptions, short texts by artists, and image based proposals. Pivot’s unique print format reflects this dual engagement by combining book arts practice with academic journal production.

Summary:
Si notre aujourd’hui est bien un temps de ruines, ces dernières ont une saveur nouvelle. « Ce que peuvent les ruines » fait l’hypothèse d’un devenir ruine comme projet. Il ne s’agit pas d’esthétiser la destruction. Nous souhaitons dépasser la tentation romantique de la contemplation d’un monde finissant et le tragique vaniteux de la célébration des ruines comme formes. Des ruines de quoi ? Des ruines de Rien, s’étonne Bouvard face à la construction faussement détruite de Pécuchet. La ruine, pensée comme une structure qui se déforce et qui, dans un équilibre précaire, laisse advenir l’imprévu, l’indéterminé, se tourne alors vers un avenir radieux. L’architecture y est instable et de second plan. Les ruines de ce numéro, comme les ruines de nos quotidiens, sont examinées pour leur capacité d’agir, ou de laisser agir.

Summary:
Notre époque voit se multiplier les publications promettant de nous apprendre en trois «zooms» comment « travailler sur soi » et gérer intelligemment nos émotions, prévenir le burn out, etc. Mais paradoxalement, les enjeux de santé mentale se diversifient et se multiplient. On parle à présent d’anxiété de performance chez les jeunes, tandis que les femmes et les immigrants sont toujours plus pressurisés par des normes de comportement. Dans ce dossier sur Le mal être pluriel, nous abordons comment nous sommes piégés, mais aussi consentants, par un discours idéologique et des représentations sociales constituant la marque de fabrique de cette ère néolibérale, qui réclame un engagement total au travail, aux études et nous prescrit d’être autonomes, alors que nous sommes surveillés plus que jamais.

Summary:
Italian architect and designer Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) left a huge mark not only on architecture but also on a wide range of design fields. His success in his field developed from those moments when he devoted himself to the study of the various techniques of construction. Whether in glassware or museum design, in the use of materials or those involved in essential building skills, what seems to have first seized his attention was the creative limitations implicit in them. This issue is a reprint of an extra edition of the magazine on Scarpa that first appeared in October 1985. Revived 40 years after its initial publication, it once again celebrates the complete picture of Scarpa’s designs.

Belgian architect Xaveer De Geyter is the focus of this issue, which features a selection of projects from the past fifteen years. He began his career working with Rem Koolhaas at OMA, and started his own firm in the early 1990s. De Geyter believes architecture is about opening up possibilities: the potential of a site, the hidden opportunity of a particular situation, of a programmatic conflict. Among the featured projects are Hasselt’s Z33 Museum, Sint-Lucas School of Fine Arts in Ghent, a learning and innovation centre in Brussels, and a design for the International Olympic Committee Headquarters. Includes an interview with the architect by Sarah Whiting and essay by Philip Ursprung.
