Summary:
Throughout their history, architecture exhibitions have embraced different approaches and constructed other modes of action within the discipline, playing a pivotal role in disseminating, diffusing, and experimenting with architectural culture. This volume looks at curatorial practice in architecture and how ecological issues are addressed in the context of curatorial thinking and exhibition-making. Five architects with a curatorial practice are interviewed (Paola Antonelli, Pedro Gadanho, Paula Nascimento, Maria Otero Verzier, and Paulo Tavares), all of whom contribute to current debates in architecture while exploring how to perceive the main challenges of our world.

Summary:
''The Moment of Cubism'' is one of John Berger’s most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin’s poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin’s sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures – Picasso and Braque above all. He makes a case for Cubism’s revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.
