Summary:
Comment un rocher stérile face à la prospère cité d'Avignon prend rang pendant le Moyen Age comme l'un des enjeux politiques les plus disputés des provinces du Sud. Comment, la papauté ayant fixé son séjour d'exil à Avignon, Villeneuve se voit élue par la cour pontificale comme son lieu de villégiature préféré. Comment enfin, sur fond général de décadence et de ruine après le retour de la curie à Rome, trois fondations religieuses réussissent à fixer à Villeneuve, à la fin du Moyen Age puis pendant l'âge classique, une vitalité artistique de premier plan. Croisant l'étude des textes anciens et l'observation archéologique, l'enquête, couche après couche, explore et met en lumière l'un des plus riches gisements patrimoniaux de la France méridionale avec, pour objet principal, la reconstitution du cadre matériel de la société curiale au temps de la papauté avignonnaise.

Summary:
Envisioning Architecture, the first in a series of three titles showcasing selected works from The Museum of Modern Art's superlative architecture and design collection, features a wide variety of drawings by great architects of the modern period, from early masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to contemporary practitioners including Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, and others. Revealing the range of aesthetic viewpoints in architecture since the late 19th century, these drawings also cumulatively trace the development of the field, almost incidentally making the crucial point that in this increasingly technological age, the age-old discipline of drawing is as vital and inventive as ever. The book opens with an exploration of the relatively brief history of collecting architectural drawings, whose practice dates back little farther than the 16th century.

Summary:
Berlin-based artist Olaf Holzapfel explores the interstices between art and craft by collaborating with local farmers and craftspeople to create sculptural work that interweaves human settlement, technique and abstraction. The handsome full-color exhibition catalog features both large site-specific installations consisting of hay, straw and wooden frameworks along with his smaller woven sculptures from his exhibition at the Lindenau-Museum Altenburg. Using space-generating methods like plaiting, weaving and latticing age-old settler techniques his sculptures don t differentiate between the manufactured and the handcrafted, the functional and the aesthetic. By transforming age-old handiwork into contemporary art, Holzapfel unsettles the division between nature and culture, tradition and modernity. A concluding essay by writer Jennifer Allen explores the pattern-making and abstraction in Holzapfel s work in relationship to Adolf Loos s influential 1908 essay Crime and Ornament.
