Summary:
"Botanical Drift" explores the hermeneutics, historicization, semiotics, and symbiosis of plant diversification, species cultivation, and destruction—past and present, extant and extinct—around the globe. Plant histories are explored as commodities and colonial as well as decolonial devices by significant and diverse feminist, art-historical, and anthropological voices—from Germaine Greer to herman de vries—bringing new perspectives through photo-essays, fiction, performance, and interventions in ecological, film, and translation archives. Reflecting on experimental ecology—the undiscovered, underestimated, and undesired non-European flora and fauna—it challenges perception and inspires potentialities to bring new understandings of the undergrowth of the Kew Gardens botany collection.

Keep walking intently: the ambulatory art of Surrealists, the Situationist International and Fluxus

Summary:
Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life. Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking(...)

Summary:
Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life. Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking Intently traces the meandering and peculiar footsteps of these avant-garde artists as they moved through the city, encountering the marvelous, studying the environment, and re-enchanting the banal. Art historian Lori Waxman reveals the radical potential that walking holds for us all.

Summary:
Parmi les publications qui engagent une réflexion sur la diversité des pratiques du design graphique, .txt se présente comme un espace d’écriture proposé aux étudiants de l’option « design graphique » de l’École supérieure d’art et design Grenoble-Valence. Selon une célèbre devise Shadock : « Il vaut mieux pomper même s’il ne se passe rien que risquer qu’il se passe quelque chose de pire en ne pompant pas. » En termes de pédagogie du design, cela pourrait donner : il vaut mieux imaginer/rêver/penser même s’il ne se passe rien que risquer qu’il se passe quelque chose de pire en n’imaginant/ne rêvant/ne pensant pas. Pour inventer. Et pas seulement pour innover. Transformer. Et pas seulement accommoder. Imaginer d’autres pratiques du design, d’autres modes de production, d’autres paramètres d’analyse. Cette imagination, ces rêves, ces pensées sont celles d’étudiants dont les textes publiés dans ce troisième volume .txt témoignent aussi d’une approche critique de notre monde.

L’architecture travaille la matière afin de la rendre expressive. Elle se heurte ce faisant à son obstination muette qu’elle tente de dépasser. Partant de ce constat, ce livre propose de l’interpréter à la lumière de la notion de matérialité envisagée comme le rapport que nous entretenons avec les phénomènes sensibles, les matériaux et les objets.

Summary:
L’architecture travaille la matière afin de la rendre expressive. Elle se heurte ce faisant à son obstination muette qu’elle tente de dépasser. Partant de ce constat, ce livre propose de l’interpréter à la lumière de la notion de matérialité envisagée comme le rapport que nous entretenons avec les phénomènes sensibles, les matériaux et les objets. Notre subjectivité d’êtres humains se constitue pour partie au travers de cette rencontre avec toutes ces « choses » qui tombent immédiatement sous le sens. Par leur intermédiaire, l’architecture contribue à la création d’un monde destiné spécifiquement aux hommes. L’interprétation de la matérialité a considérablement évolué depuis Vitruve. Sa transformation permet de lire différemment l’histoire de l’architecture et de mieux comprendre certains enjeux actuels, tels ceux qui s’attachent à la révolution numérique.

Summary:
This book documents a residency research project (2007–2017) founded by viaindustriae, a cultural non-profit organization and a collective that aims at investigating the intermediate territories between art and architecture, new forms of communication, and activating the artistic message through different methods. Initially based on specific research into a marginal and radical rural-mountain landscape in Umbria that used "hypertextual" methods and projects to draw links between different sites and "thematic" landscapes, the outcome is a broad investigation, exhibition, and catalogue on public spaces, site-specific art practices, and interventions on landscape in Italy and beyond.

Summary:
The Advanced School of Collective Feeling explores the advent of radical new conceptions of the body—a phenomenon known in the 1920s and ’30s as “physical culture”—and their impact on the thinking of some of modern architecture’s most influential figures. Using archival photographs, diagrams, and plans, the book reconstructs a constellation of provocative domestic projects by Marcel Breuer, Charlotte Perriand, Richard Neutra, and others. This obscure chapter in the modern movement gestures towards a remarkable synthesis of the individual and the collective, a perspective that holds enormous potential for articulating an architecture of today.

Summary:
Long out of print, the Arundel Society first published Giotto and His Works in Padua between 1853 and 1860. It stands as Ruskin’s most compelling set of reflections on Giotto’s masterpiece—an artwork that, in Ruskin’s estimation, changed the very course of art history. Originally accompanied by a set of black and white woodcuts of the panels in the Chapel, this new edition presents each panel in vivid color photography, adding a useful visual aid to Ruskin’s lyrical descriptions. The result is a book that serves not only as an introduction for students of art history, but also as a discussion of what it means to be a great artist, by one of most influential writers ever to tackle visual art.
