Dans le Montréal de 2048 où sévissent les épidémies et les dérèglements climatiques, un chanteur vedette tourmenté à l’excès par son histoire familiale revient dans sa ville natale le temps de deux concerts. Artiste culte, érudit et collectionneur égaré au milieu d’une culture planétaire en mode liquidation, Oscar De Profundis trouve sur son passage les derniers gueux encore désireux de résister. Qu’adviendra-t-il de cette rencontre que la logique politique et économique interdit? À quoi ressembleront nos sociétés dans un demi-siècle si les impératifs sécuritaires et sanitaires deviennent notre seule préoccupation? Peut-on même agir et créer dans un monde divisé entre des banlieues fournies et des cités décrépites? Dans une langue si belle et juste qu’elle bouleverse, Catherine Mavrikakis signe un roman crépusculaire dans lequel demeure néanmoins un peu de la lumière de l’aube. Car cette ode immodérée à l’art et la littérature au milieu du désastre conserve une nostalgie des commencements qui, sait-on, pourrait nous sauver.

Summary:
"Living Earth" is a new book filled with ideas, conversations, lectures, and documentation relating to commissioned installations, soundwalks, concerts and performances made for and during the Dark Ecology project. This three-year project, a collaboration between Sonic Acts and the Norwegian curator Hilde Methi, was held from 2014 to 2016 in different places in Norway and Russia and included three curated ‘Journeys’. Living Earth is a recreation of these research trips to the Barents Region, from Kirkenes and Svanvik in Norway to Nikel, Zapolyarny and Murmansk in Russia. The project was inspired by Timothy Morton’s concept of ‘dark ecology’ and his philosophy of ‘ecology without Nature’. Morton offers a radical criticism of the modernist way of thinking about nature as something outside of us, and instead proposes an interconnected ‘mesh’ of all living and non-living objects. He ruminates on this idea in his essay for Living Earthentitled ‘What Is Dark Ecology’, stating at the outset that ecological awareness is ‘weird weirdness’.

Summary:
Jacques Villeglé prélève sur les murs parisiens, depuis la fin des années 1940, les affiches lacérées par des mains anonymes, et les expose après les avoir simplement marouflées sur toile. Revendiquant la position du flâneur, il laisse émerger du chaos urbain les beautés cachées dans les épaisseurs de papier déchiré, à travers un corpus foisonnant et d'une étonnante(...)

Jacques Villeglé prélève sur les murs parisiens, depuis la fin des années 1940, les affiches lacérées par des mains anonymes, et les expose après les avoir simplement marouflées sur toile. Revendiquant la position du flâneur, il laisse émerger du chaos urbain les beautés cachées dans les épaisseurs de papier déchiré, à travers un corpus foisonnant et d'une étonnante richesse formelle, depuis l'éclatement typographique et les grandes compositions abstraites colorées des débuts jusqu'aux récentes juxtapositions rythmiques issues d'affiches de concerts. Son Alphabet socio-politique, réalisé à partir d'un vocabulaire de lettres détournées telles qu'on peut les trouver dans les graffitis, procède de la même entreprise d'appropriation. L'œuvre de Villeglé est un formidable sismographe de nos "réalités collectives" telles qu'elles sont distillées par l'espace urbain dont l'histoire nous est restituée à travers celle, singulière, de ses murs. Elle révèle combien notre regard est conditionné par cet environnement visuel quotidien, et réactive notre mémoire de façon critique, mais aussi ludique.

Summary:
Frank Gehry's startling architecture for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles has been depicted in two other books by Balcony Press (Iron and Frozen Music). This new release describes the daring and skill that produced the pipe organ which is the visual focus of the auditorium. This book gives honor to the creativity and craftsmanship of those who designed, fabricated, and installed this instrument. (Façade design by Frank Gehry, tonal design by Manuel Rosales, construction of complex components by Glatter-Götz Orgelbau). It also pays tribute to the artistry of the organists who inaugurated it. The generous quantity and quality of the color photographs are balanced with a readable text that describes the development of this pipe organ from initial sketches, to models, to the completed instrument. Included are interesting interviews with designers, builders and musicians.

Summary:
In this publication, Victoria Newhouse addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snohetta (2008), the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Summary:
Photographer Annie Leibowitz collaborates with American Express on a portrait exhibition. Absolut Vodka engages artists for their advertisements. Philip Morris mounts an "Arts Against Hunger" campaign in partnership with prominent museums. Is it art or PR, and where is the line that separates the artistic from the corporate? According to Mark Rectanus, that line has blurred. These mergers of art, business, and museums, he argues, are examples of the worldwide privatization of cultural funding. In Culture Incorporated, Rectanus calls for full disclosure of corporate involvement in cultural events and examines how corporations, art institutions, and foundations are reshaping the cultural terrain. In turn, he also shows how that ground is destabilized by artists subverting these same institutions to create a heightened awareness of critical alternatives. Rectanus exposes how sponsorship helps maintain social legitimation in a time when corporations are the target of significant criticism. He provides wide-ranging examples of artists and institutions grappling with corporate sponsorship, including artists' collaboration with sponsors, corporate sponsorship of museum exhibitions, festivals, and rock concerts, and cybersponsoring. Throughout, Rectanus analyzes the convergence of cultural institutions with global corporate politics and its influence on our culture and our communities. Mark W. Rectanus is professor of German at Iowa State University.
