Summary:
On a tous un ou deux vieux de trop quelque part. Les raisons sont toutes excellentes pour s’en défaire : on n’a pas de place chez soi ni le temps de s’en occuper, on n’aime pas l’odeur des boules à mites ou on a déjà trop de couches à changer. Sur l’invitation de Raymond Bock et d’Alexie Morin, treize auteurs ont accepté de placer les leurs dans les chambres qui(...)

Sur l’invitation de Raymond Bock et d’Alexie Morin, treize auteurs ont accepté de placer les leurs dans les chambres qui composent ce recueil de nouvelles. Ils se livrent ainsi à un périlleux exercice de projection en se mettant dans la peau d’une personne âgée à l’approche de la fin. Évitant les clichés ou se jouant d’eux, ils nous offrent des histoires tendres, cruelles, parfois décousues, souvent sages et toujours nécessaires.

Summary:
This book brings together eight of the most interesting and significant essays by the unequalled historian Robin Evans, author of The Projective Cast. Written over a period of 20 years from 1970, shortly after his graduation from the Architectural Association (AA), to 1990, the essays cover a wide range of architectural concerns: domestic space, society’s involvement with building types, aspects of geometry, modes of projection and drawing as a process for generating ideas. The book includes ‘Mies van der Rohe’s Paradoxical Symmetries’ and other essays first published in AA Files. Evans’s writings are supported by a new introduction and an annotated bibliography by Richard Difford. This AA Documents publication is a re-edition of the 1997 essay collection originally published by AA Publications.

Expansion, convergence, adjacency, projection, rapport, and intersection are a few of the terms used to redraw the boundaries between art and architecture during the last thirty-five years. If modernists invented the model of an ostensible “synthesis of the arts,” their postmodern progeny promoted the semblance of pluralist fusion. In 1979, reacting against contemporary(...)

Summary:
Expansion, convergence, adjacency, projection, rapport, and intersection are a few of the terms used to redraw the boundaries between art and architecture during the last thirty-five years. If modernists invented the model of an ostensible “synthesis of the arts,” their postmodern progeny promoted the semblance of pluralist fusion. In 1979, reacting against contemporary art’s transformation of modernist medium-specificity into postmodernist medium multiplicity, the art historian Rosalind Krauss published an essay, “Sculpture in the Expanded Field,” that laid out in a precise diagram the structural parameters of sculpture, architecture, and landscape art. The essay soon assumed a canonical status and affected subsequent developments in all three fields. Retracing the Expanded Field revisits Krauss’s hugely influential text and maps the ensuing interactions between art and architecture.

Plasticité du béton, titre du premier numéro, reprend la conférence de l’architecture suisse Christian Dupraz présentée à Genève le 8 septembre 2012, lors des journées européennes du patrimoine consacrées à la pierre et au béton. Associée à la réalisation de surfaces concaves et convexes, la gunite est le mélange de béton et de sable permettant la projection de la matière et sa solidification dans des formes complexes. L’application de cette technique est historiquement liée au développement des coques et à la recherche exigeante d’ingénieurs (Eduardo Torroja, Heinz Isler, Ulrich Müther,…) mais également au formidable questionnement des architectes pour une valorisation de la forme libre (Pascal Haüsermann, Vittorio Giorgini, Jacques Couëlle…). Ce parallélisme entre la démarche maîtrisée des uns et la quête aléatoire des autres nous renseigne sur la grande vitalité de notre histoire.

The Polish Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale will have the pleasure of presenting a panoramic film projection of the opera Halka by Stanislaw Moniuszko, as it was staged in February for the inhabitants of Cazale, a village situated in the mountains of Haiti. The winners of this year's contest for the official Polish representation in Venice, artists C.T. Jasper and Joanna Malinowska and curator Magdalena Moskalewicz, decided to stage the opera in Haiti inspired by the mad plan of Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo, who wanted to build an opera house in the Amazon. Fascinated by Fitzcarraldo's faith in the universal power of opera, but not uncritical of the colonizing aspect of his actions, they decided to reveal and undercut its romanticism by confronting a set of very specific geographic, historical, and sociopolitical realities.

For Germans "Heimat" is a rather difficult term which embodies conflicting tendencies: destiny or coincidence, sentimental kitsch for pensioners and revisionists, and lost paradise or childhood trauma. In Bialobrzeski's own words, "Having a home means having roots, which is not the same as being rooted to the spot." And since he is more interested in images than in places, "Heimat" is "not a book about Germany as homeland per se." Rather, it creates a fixed image of "a personalized bit of visual and cultural history." Bialobrzeski's photographs act as projection surfaces for modern man's yearning for nature-an homage to German Romanticism and at the same time bow to the works of contemporary American color photographers.

Summary:
The cinema as a space where one spent entire nights played an important role in West Berlin in those days. While a large number of venues opened in squatted houses, which together with the Kino Arsenal, founded in 1970, formed a counter-pole to the commercial cinema landscape, urban spaces were converted to temporary projection locations in which film, super-8 installations, music, and performance bred each other. The book expands on the film series of the same name screened at Kino Arsenal in October 2006. Rainer Bellenbaum, Justin Hoffmann, Matthias Heyden & Ines Schaber, Dirk Schaefer, Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, Marc Siegel, Nicole Wolf, and Florian Wüst address the specific social and cultural conditions of the enclosed city in a variety of ways seen from the present, while the artist Krimo contributed a map of memory to the book.
