Summary:
Based in New York City, Amy Sillman (born 1955) is an artist whose work consistently combines the visceral with the intellectual. 'Faux pas' aims at revealing the coherence and originality of Sillman’s reflection, as she addresses the possibilities of art today, favoring excess over good taste, wrestling over dandyism, forms over symbols, with as much critical sense as humor.

Summary:
Pour permettre à toutes et tous de contribuer, échanger, débattre et imaginer ensemble << l'après >>, le Pavillon de l'Arsenal a ouvert pendant le confinement, à partir du 16 avril 2020, le forum << Et demain, on fait quoi? >>. Pendant trois mois cet espace virtuel de partage, initié dans le cadre du programme << Architectures à la maison >> a permis de collecter et diffuser articles, tribunes, dessins, projets... Rassemblées dans cet ouvrage, les 198 contributions témoignent, dans un contexte particulier, des préoccupations et aspirations de chacune et chacun pour transformer et adapter la ville de ses architectures. L'ensemble forme un corpus de réflexions stimulantes, parfois dissonantes, témoin en cela de nos interrogations urbaines contemporaines. Classées chronologiquement, sans filtre, telles qu'elles sont parvenues, elles révèlent des questionnements déjà existants ou font surgir des problématiques inédites. Les enjeux premiers de solidarité et de défi climatique se conjugent avec les questions de proximité, d'autour de soi, d'espaces et de temps: logement et évolutivité, métropole et gouvernance, bureau et réversibilité, commun et ruralité, grenier et cimetière, carbone et matérialité, vitesse et mobilité, distances aux autres et au monde... Alors que les modes de vies urbains, les conditions de fabrication de la ville, tous comme leurs usage et les façons d'habiter sont pour certains brutalement obsolètes, architectes, artistes, designers, étudiants, ingénieurs, paysagistes, promoteurs, professionnels de l'immobilier, urbanistes et usagers inventent d'autres manières de faire la ville.

Summary:
Cornelia Hahn Oberlander (1921-2021) ws among the most eminent landscape architects in the world, known for many projects in Canada and abroad. ''Genius Loci,'' meaning the protective spirit of a place, is embodied in the seven decade span of her work. Her landscape designs demonstrate her desire to create terrains that are less an interruption and more an amplification of what already exists on a site. Her training in modernist design and a desire to connect people with nature is immediately apparent in her landscapes. At a time when our relationship to the earth is of paramount importance, Oberlander’s projects reveal consistent and significant stewardship of the natural environment. Many of her designs—even those from 50 years ago—remain largely unchanged, testaments to her technical skill, research techniques, and judicious selection of flora. This bilingual book derives from an exhibition at the West Vancouver Art Museum, introduing projects by Oberlander, and presented in four sections devoted to playgrounds, social housing, public projects, and residential projects, showing photography of the places alongside her sketches, plans, and research proposals. The book includes contributions by Oberlander and the exhibition curators, Susan Herrington and Eva Matsuzaki.

Summary:
Ce numéro de la revue Liberté est né à la fois d'un hasard et d'une évidence. Le hasard, d'abord : au plus creux du confinement de l'hiver 2021, deux collaborateurs ont proposé, coup sur coup et sans se consulter, des textes portant sur les conditions de vie et le traitement des personnes vieillissantes et en perte d'autonomie depuis le début de la pandémie. Ensuite, l'évidence : après l’hécatombe causée en CHSLD et dans les résidences privées par la COVID-19, il a semblé à l'équipe de la revue incontournable de réfléchir à la place des aîné.e.s dans notre société. Quel espace de parole et d'existence leur réserve-t-on ? Tentons-nous réellement de les inclure au dialogue entre les générations ? Pourquoi existe-t-il un pareil tabou entourant les inévitables effets du temps sur le corps ? Dans ce dossier, il s’agira d'interroger la violence d'une organisation sociale qui, pour fonctionner, a choisi d'exclure une partie de sa population. Qu'est-ce que ce triste constat révèle de notre société ?
