"L'analyse de certaines utopies sociales présentées dans ce livre, implique, en sous-entendu, l'acte d'accusation et la critique des deux "méchants" de notre époque que sont : "l'Etat mafia" et la "mafia des médias" (presse, radio, télévision, etc). L'existence d'un "Etat mafia" est la conséquence de l'impossibilité du maintien de l'Etat démocratique classique dès que les(...)

"L'analyse de certaines utopies sociales présentées dans ce livre, implique, en sous-entendu, l'acte d'accusation et la critique des deux "méchants" de notre époque que sont : "l'Etat mafia" et la "mafia des médias" (presse, radio, télévision, etc). L'existence d'un "Etat mafia" est la conséquence de l'impossibilité du maintien de l'Etat démocratique classique dès que les dimensions de l'Etat dépassent certaines limites ; et la "mafia des médias" en découle directement, par suite de l'impossibilité de la communication globale. L'échec de ces deux utopies généreuses, la démocratie et la "communication globale" entre les hommes, entraîne logiquement la formation de ces mafias qui agissent en notre nom et contre nos intérêts".

Devin Fore charts this style through the work of its key figures, illuminating factography’s position in the material culture of the early Soviet period and situating it as a precursor to the genre of documentary that arose in the 1930s.

Summary:
This is the first major English-language study of factography, an avant-garde movement of 1920s modernism. Devin Fore charts this style through the work of its key figures, illuminating factography’s position in the material culture of the early Soviet period and situating it as a precursor to the genre of documentary that arose in the 1930s. Factographers employed photography and film practices in their campaign to inscribe facts and to chronicle modernization as it transformed human experience and society. Fore considers factography in light of the period’s explosion of new media technologies—including radio broadcasting, sound in film, and photo-media innovations—that allowed the press to transform culture on a massive scale.

Summary:
Landscape architect, urban planner, teacher, and social visionary: over the course of a sixty-year career, Lawrence Halprin (1916-2009) reshaped the spaces we inhabit and our ways of moving through them. Featuring more than ninety black-and-white and one hundred color reproductions of photographs, plans, and sketchbooks, A Life Spent Changing Places is Halprin's own account of how a young boy who listened to the fireside chats of FDR on the radio became the man who designed the memorial to that president in the nation's capital. It is a book about the invention and reinvention of an extraordinary man over the span of decades and how he helped to reframe the world around him.

Summary:
Between 1961 and 1968, the magazine “Twen” produced a series of LP recordings in collaboration with the Philips record label. During this period, all editions of “Twen” were accompanied by LPs drawn from the realms of jazz, classical music, radio plays, world music, or pop. For the designs of his record covers, art director Willy Fleckhaus used Concrete Art by Karl Gerstner, Max Bill, and other dedicated graphic designers such as Heinz Edelmann and Günther Kieser. This now forgotten series, comprising around 70 disks, is a masterful instance of the conjunction of music and graphic design. In collaboration with music archives and private collections, this rare series is reunited in its entirety and documented in this publication.

Summary:
Avec sa silhouette iconique de Babel des Temps modernes, on croit toujours se « souvenir » du Monument à la IIIe Internationale (1919-1920) de V. Tatline (1885-1953). Pourtant, notre esprit ne retient souvent de la « Tour Tatline » que la sculpture tirée d'un musée imaginaire, alors qu'il s'agit d'abord du modèle réduit d'une « anti-Tour Eiffel » non réalisée. Bien plus élevée que les 160 m du treillis fuselé de la Tour TSF (1920-1922) de l'ingénieur-architecte V. Choukhov (1853-1939), les 400 m de contreplongées constructivistes auraient dû incarner un monument socialiste et une œuvre d'art cosmopolite totale, tour à tour promenade cinématique, centre d'émission radio et haut-parleur d'amplification de la voix de Moscou : à la ville et au monde prolétarien.

Summary:
''Credos'' is a series of exhibitions that started off as table-top group mini-exhibitions conceived for church-basement bazaars in Laval and Greater Montreal throughout 2019–20. The first two editions took place in different Armenian congregations in Laval. When the COVID-19 pandemic put subsequent Québec editions on hold, a version was transported to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and shown in the frame of the all-day public art festival ''Art in the Open'' in 2020. An 8-hour online radio program was broadcast alongside the tabletop displays. ''Credos IV'' is also a response to social distance, but at the same time a furthering of an inquiry into the substitutions and translations of an exhibition into non-gallery spaces.
