Summary:
In The Great Reset , author Richard Florida provides an examination of previous economic epochs, or "resets." He distills the deep forces that have altered physical and social landscapes and eventually reshaped economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives — from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities.

Summary:
Pataphysical Essays collects Daumal’s overtly pataphysical writings from 1929 to 1941, from his landmark exposition on pataphysics and laughter to his late essay, “The Pataphysics of Ghosts.” Daumal’s “Treatise on Patagrams” offers the reader everything from a recipe for the disintegration of a photographer to instructions on how to drill a fount of knowledge in a public urinal. This volume also includes Daumal’s column for the Nouvelle Revue Française, “Pataphysics This Month.” Reading like a deranged encyclopedia, “Pataphysics This Month” describes a new mythology for the field of science, and amply demonstrates that the twentieth century had been a distinctly pataphysical era.

Summary:
This first volume of JRP|Ringier’s complete John Baldessari writings project traces the genesis and development of the artist’s understanding of art in the early 1960s. More Than You Wanted to Know About John Baldessari presents Baldessari as storyteller, moralist, teacher and occasional gadfly, always concerned to accomplish what he describes as the central task of art making: to communicate in a way that people can understand. These writings address everything from matters of color in sculpture, to the dilemmas of art students in need of ideas, to the art world’s ever-conflicted relationship with money, while always returning to Baldessari’s love of language and his longstanding investigation into the tensions of word and image.

Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Few expressions in the culture of human thought have the iconic stature, and emotive power, that the word "evolution" entails.

Summary:
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Few expressions in the culture of human thought have the iconic stature, and emotive power, that the word "evolution" entails. Though commonly relegated to modern-day science, the concept of evolution is ingrained in representations of life and nature in the visual arts, and artists and scientists have much to share on the meaning of human origin, human existence and human fate. The present volume documents an online symposium, Visual Culture and Evolution, in which a distinguished panel of artists, curators, scientists, historians, educators, media theorists and critics participated in a lively, informative conversation on the interface of art and science.

Face à Trouville - sa rivale de toujours - Deauville est d'abord une spéculation balnéaire du Second Empire, allotie sur un terrain plat et sur un plan quadrillé. Mais elle est ensuite un jardin des modes, un lieu d'apparat et d'exhibition où aiment à parader belles de jour et nouveaux riches. En s'en faisant les promoteurs, c'est ce que comprendront quelques hommes d'affaires avisés. Là où la verve de Michel Georges-Michel déploies les chroniques mondaines du traité de Versailles à la crise de 1929, Boris Veblen en restitue la perspective du duc de Morny à nos jours, tandis que Paul Smith nous en dévoile certains codes du "charme discret" ou des "signes extérieurs de richesse" à travers l'automobile et l'architecture de Georges Wybo...

Summary:
Quand on demande aux auteurs des Ghettos du Gotha ce qu'ils entendent par là, Michel Pinçon et Monique Pinçon-Charlot répondent qu'il s'agit d'un internement de riches choisis - et non subi. Procédant davantage par création ex-nihilo que par reconstruction sur tabula rasa, cette dynamique spatiale débute avec la "société de cour" mais se systématise sous le Second Empire, avec des lieux comme Arcachon, Biarritz, Vichy ou Deauville. Dans son essai, Boris Veblen tente, à travers le storytelling de l'industrie du luxe, des palaces ou de l'art contemporain, de percevoir la résurgence BCBG de ces quasi gated communities. Dans la France de Nicolas Sarkozy comme dans la mondialisation victorieuse des BRIC.
