Première monographie de l'artiste, cet ouvrage présente l'ensemble des travaux de Stéphane Couturier, des sites de construction berlinois jusqu'à " Alger, Climat de France " encore en cours. Ses premières séries, Archéologies urbaines (1995-1998) et Monument(s) (1999-2002), privilégiaient une architecture et un urbanisme anonymes et révélaient leurs strates temporelles. Les plus récentes telles Landscaping (2001-2004) où l'artiste photographie des lotissements résidentiels au Mexique et aux Etats-Unis, ou Melting Point – Chandigarh, (2006-2007) et Melting Point – Brasilia (2007-2010) mettent davantage l'accent sur des villes construites ex-nihilo. Au regard de cet ensemble, " Alger, Climat de France " marque à la fois une continuité et une rupture.

Summary:
In this engaging study, Elena Filipovic collects a vast oral history of the ephemeral action, uncovering rare images and documents, and giving us singular insight into an artist who made an art of making himself difficult to find. And through it, she reveals Bliz-aard Ball Sale to be the backbone of a radical artistic oeuvre that transforms such notions as “art,” “commodity,” “performance,” and even “race” into categories that shift and dissolve, much like slowly melting snowballs.

Architecturally, Burma is both a melting pot and a museum. Boasting a wealth of influences from all of the countries that surround it--India, China, Laos, Thailand, Bhutan, Laos--Burma has also preserved many key examples of religious architectural styles no longer extant in their countries of origin, most famously in Pagan, the country’s capital in the ninth to twelfth centuries.
