Summary:
Compiled for the first time here, essays by American critic, artist, gallerist and dealer John Kelsey convey some of the most poignant challenges in the art world and in the many social roles it creates. Rich Texts play the double role of explaining the art world and actively participating in it; they close the distance between the work of art and how we talk about it. These writings - many originally published in Artforum - embody a timelessness that strikes at the core of the contemporary art world.

Summary:
Créée par la Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, l'exposition Terre Natale, Ailleurs commence ici propose un dialogue entre le cinéaste Raymond Depardon et le philosophe Paul Virilio sur le rapport au natal, à l'enracinement et au déracinement, à une époque où les flux migratoires humains ont atteint une échelle sans précédent. Dans son film Donner la parole, réalisé avec Claudine Nougaret, Raymond Depardon laisse s'exprimer ceux qui, menacés de devoir partir, veulent demeurer sur leur terre. Les artistes et architectes Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Mark Hansen, Laura Kurgan et Ben Rubin donnent forme aux concepts de Paul Virilio avec la création d'une cartographie dynamique qui rend compte des migrations environnementales, politiques et économiques. Publiés pour la première fois dans le catalogue Terre Natale (prix Nomad's 2009), les textes présentés ici permettent d'explorer les problématiques soulevées dans l'exposition. Accompagnés de vues d'exposition, ils constituent un véritable outil de réflexion sur les notions de nomadisme et de sédentarité, ainsi que sur les questions identitaires qui leur sont attachées.

Summary:
Governor-General award winning architect Jeremy Sturgess recently celebrated thirty years in practice in Calgary, where he has been based his whole career. During that time, Sturgess has made a major contribution to transforming the architectural face of the city, from individual houses to large-scale public projects such as the Calgary Water Centre, the Grand Theatre, and Calgarys most recent downtown LRT stations. This publication provides a comprehensive and multifaceted examination of Sturgesss architecture and urban design, and assesses his contribution to Canadian architecture generally and Calgary architecture in particular. Editor Geoffrey Simmins has gathered perspectives from a number of individuals with whom Sturgess has enjoyed long-term professional relationships - an artist, an urban designer, an architect colleague, an architectural critic, and a journalist. Along with reflections on Sturgesss personality, philosophy, and creative growth, these contributors provide in-depth discussions of a number of Sturgesss most celebrated projects. Simmins himself has drawn on Sturgesss papers and several personal interviews to craft an insightful introduction to the volume. Illustrated with architectural line drawings and with photos by photographer Robert Lemermeyer.

The tree's locations range from historical sites like Hitler's elementary school and the scenes of famous crimes, to unidentified places that give rise to oblique atmospheres and titles such as 'School', 'Road' and 'Park'. As in his other publications, Van der Weijde deals in typological representations that explore the photo book itself as an object.
