Summary:
"What precedes architecture?" Architect-artist Malgorzata Maria Olchowska (°Bartoszyce, 1982) investigates how personal and collective memories influence our view of the built environment. According to Olchowska, there is no limit to the resilience of cities: "Cities go up and down, we see that now with the war in Ukraine or with the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Urban districts that are now in ruins will sooner or later be rebuilt." The book is built around a text by Vlad Ionescu (Faculty of Architecture and Art, PXL/UHasselt) in which he reflects on Olchowska’s work, from 2009 to today. This is supplemented and illustrated by means of a visual essay in which Olchowska shows her work of the last five years.

Summary:
Made by generations of women, the folk garment of the Romanian blouse secured its language despite eons of fierce changes. Author Simona Bortis-Schultz creates a cultural-historical biography of the blouse, from Neolithic beginnings in northeastern Romania and western Ukraine, through the period of folk revival, the Communist era and the post-Communist emigration out of the region. Design, location, colors and their semiotic significance relay the elements of a deliberate communication carried forth by women through enduring craft from prehistory to today. The Romanian proverb “to hold your heart in your teeth” means to move forward bravely despite fear. The book is an homage to generations of resilient women: honoring the design qualities of this feminine fortitude and the garment they made to survive.

As cultural, religious and political boundaries ebb and flow with each passing day, traditional maps unravel and fragment. With the same adventurous spirit he effused in the acclaimed Unruly Places, Bonnett takes us to thirty-nine incredible spots around the globe to explore these changing boundaries and stimulate our geographical imagination. Some are tied to disruptive contemporary political turbulence, such as the rise of ISIL, Russia’s incursions into Ukraine and the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom. Others explore the secret places not shown on Google Earth or reflect fast-changing landscapes.

D'emblée, artpress fut attentif à leur travail et rencontraà de nombreuses occasions Bernard-Henri Lévy,qui fut un des plus actifs. Celui-ci ne se contenta pas d'écrire trois essais qui ont marqué les années 1970, mais s'engagea, physiquement, pour des causes qu'il jugeait justes (Angola, Bosnie, Libye, Ukraine...). Dans la continuité de ses combats, Bernard-Henri Lévy choisit de s'exprimer par les voies qui croisaient celles de la revue, le roman, le théâtre, l'art.

During the Holocaust, approximately 50,000 Jews survived in occupied Poland and Ukraine by seeking shelter in unlikely hiding spots. Driven by necessity, they were forced to take refuge in unexpected and inhospitable spaces such as tree hollows, closets, basements or sewers—remaining there for hours, days and sometimes even months.

Summary:
During the Holocaust, approximately 50,000 Jews survived in occupied Poland and Ukraine by seeking shelter in unlikely hiding spots. Driven by necessity, they were forced to take refuge in unexpected and inhospitable spaces such as tree hollows, closets, basements or sewers—remaining there for hours, days and sometimes even months. Architect, scholar and artist Natalia Romik has identified and studied several such hideouts that still exist today. Her research accentuates the material and spatial dimensions of living in hiding, gathering the evidence of vernacular architectural creativity employed under life-threatening conditions. Romik views hideouts as concealed monuments to the ingenuity of Holocaust survivors and their helpers. This interdisciplinary catalog makes tangible the fragile physical reality of these places and addresses the fundamental question of the function of architecture in relation to the history of violence and our culture of commemoration.

When the New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl published his widely read autobiographical essay "The art of dying" in December 2019, he reported that he had lung cancer and his oncologist had given him six months to live, but his experimental treatment was showing some improvement. "These extra months," he wrote, "are a luxury that I hope to have put to good use.” And he did. "The art of dying: Writings, 2019-2022" begins with that essay and collects all 46 pieces that he wrote for the magazine before his death in October 2022. These last works express Schjeldahl’s hard-won reflections on art and life, against the backdrop of an intensely anxious period in America, spanning the pandemic, the George Floyd protests, the 2020 presidential election, and the war in Ukraine. Schjeldahl, who was the leading art writer of his generation, wrote with generosity and openness about the art world during these tempestuous three years.

La photographie d’un mineur du Donbass, un couple de migrants syriens arrivés sur l’île de Lesbos, un autoportrait de Francesca Woodman, une fleur nouvelle à Tchernobyl ou un énigmatique pigeongramme : chaque fois que l’on croit deviner le trajet d’une pensée ou d’un songe, l’autrice déplace notre regard de quelques centimètres à peine, et cela suffit à renverser notre imaginaire. Née en Ukraine, Katja Petrowskaja se met à écrire sur les photographies au début de l’invasion russe en 2014, « par impuissance face à la violence ». Dans une écriture parfaitement limpide, La photo me regardait porte une attention si minutieuse aux choses et aux images qu’elle en fait ressentir une lenteur inédite, opposant au bruit des guerres « des possibilités de silence et de beauté ». Ces textes, écrits entre 2014 et 2021, dessinent « les traits d’une autobiographie dispersée, en éclats » (Jean-Christophe Bailly).
