Sans jamais atterrir à l'Université, alors en ébullition, « 68 » aura posé, entre Culture et Équipement, les cadres d'une nouvelle réalité : fin d'une « grande école » (des Beaux-Arts) ; extinction volontaire de(...)

Summary:
Contrairement à d'autres univers culturels qui auront plutôt cherché à se faire peur, Mai 68 n'aura pas été qu'une métaphore dans la formation des architectes. Sans jamais atterrir à l'Université, alors en ébullition, « 68 » aura posé, entre Culture et Équipement, les cadres d'une nouvelle réalité : fin d'une « grande école » (des Beaux-Arts) ; extinction volontaire de traditions séculaires ; suppression du droit d'entrée (l'admission) ; disparition des avantages liés au Prix de Rome. Déjà maintes fois racontée par la bouche des vainqueurs, que reste-t-il de cette histoire dans la mémoire des vaincus ? Après Les architectes et mai 68 (2005) et Les architectes et mai 81 (2011), l'auteur cherche à éclairer les pièces aveugles de ses travaux de jeunesse...

Summary:
This publication looks at agricultural practices and the appropriation of space in the city of Porto, Portugal, and the different ways in which this phenomenon has manifested in the aftermath of the financial crisis 2011. The book recounts the stories of ten gardens and the people running them, who have resuscitated urban brownfield sites by growing fruit and vegetables on them as a source of food. To achieve this end, they have developed infrastructures like watering and irrigation systems and methods of cultivation, recycling, and composting, while also building storage structures and producing their own tools. Although the gardens are primarily about people providing for themselves, they also lend themselves to recreation and leisure activities.

Summary:
Scouring the fallow landscape around the Llobregat river and the Rubí stream near Barcelona with her 8 x 10 camera, Janelle Lynch (born 1969) searches for evidence and omens of nature's life cycles. Her photographs of anthropomorphized trees, walls of litter-strewn vegetation, rocks and disintegrating leaves, all taken during a four-year stay in Barcelona between 2007 and 2011, are informed by three figures whose texts are excerpted in this volume: Roland Barthes, particularly his discussion of mourning in Camera Lucida; Charles Burchfield, whose pantheistic painterly animations of landscape have much inspired Lynch; and Wendell Berry, whose essay on approaching nature with respect and humility helped to further hone her process.

Summary:
This publication documents an exhibition of Donald Judd's work held at David Zwirner in New York in 2011, which presented works drawn from the artist's seminal 1989 exhibition held at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Germany. Consisting of 12 identically scaled anodized aluminum works, the historic exhibition at the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden was significant in that it marked the first time Judd used colored anodized aluminum in such a large, floor-mounted format. The combinations of materials, dividers and colors--which differ from box to box--thus determine the singular nature of each work within a finite number of variable possibilities. As such, these works comprise one of Judd's few explorations of color on a large scale.
