Il y est question d’amateurs de science-fiction et de la Renaissance, de Mai 68 et d’enquêtes ouvrières, de soin et de squat, de communautés qui s’accrochent à la vie, de jardins collectifs, de ruines d’industrie, de hack et de machines bidouillées.

Summary:
Ces Cahiers d’enquêtes politiques rassemblent sept récits d’expérimentations et sept textes écrits dans leur sillage. Il y est question d’amateurs de science-fiction et de la Renaissance, de Mai 68 et d’enquêtes ouvrières, de soin et de squat, de communautés qui s’accrochent à la vie, de jardins collectifs, de ruines d’industrie, de hack et de machines bidouillées. Autant d’enquêtes singulières qui engagent, à chaque fois, des manières de faire collectif et des manières de raconter. Ces textes invitent à circuler entre des mondes et à y glaner les moyens de transformer d’autres situations, ailleurs. Ils ne constituent donc pas un programme, plutôt une invitation au voyage.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage collectif est conçu en hommage à Anne-Marie Châtelet – anciennement professeure d’histoire et de culture architecturales et présidente de la Commission de la recherche et de la pédagogie à l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Strasbourg –, qui a fortement défendu, pendant son parcours de chercheure et d’enseignante dans les écoles d’architecture, la place du champ historique et ainsi contribué à développer et à enrichir la recherche en histoire de l’architecture.Sont rassemblés ici près de 40 contributions signées par ses condisciples, actuels ou anciens collègues, vieux amis et jeunes doctorants, étudiants d’antan et collaborateurs d’aujourd’hui. Elles font écho aux principaux thèmes de recherche chers à Anne-Marie Châtelet :- Un premier axe regroupe des textes centrés sur l’histoire d’édifices bâtis aux 19e et 20e siècles en Europe, analysant ainsi l’architecture scolaire, religieuse mais aussi celle du logement ou d’équipements plus exceptionnels, par le biais de méthodes d’étude typo-morphologique.- Le deuxième aborde le milieu et la pratique des architectes, au fil du 20e siècle, moins dans une approche des individus que dans celle des bâtisseurs comme groupe professionnel, voire comme groupe social.- Le troisième axe éclaire des problématiques liées aux échanges, transferts et métissages dans les domaines architectural et urbain.

Summary:
Immerse yourself in the thought-provoking and sometimes bewildering artworks featured in Installation Art. This artistic genre rejects the passive viewing of framed artwork and encourages an interactive and often theatrical experience that draws the viewer into the artwork and sometimes even transforms the viewer into part of the piece. Marvel at a room repurposed into a giant musical instrument, imagine pressing into walls quilted in fabric, or feel the excitement of jumping in a giant plastic balloon. The artists featured in Installation Art make use of both museum space and unexpected locations, such as parks, retail shops, and even metro stations to create new realities through the manipulation of all aspects of one's environment--sight, sound, space, light and touch. Includes artists' conceptual drawings.

Summary:
The exhibition Prosodic Grains at ''BY ART MATTERS'' (??????) draws inspiration from Chinese literature's pursuit of natural law and balanced beauty in phonology. It features works from over a dozen artists across different countries and regions, exploring the origins, elasticity, and limitations of human communication. For individuals, language and music carry fleeting emotions and thoughts; for human communities, they embody living histories and shared memories that reside in our collective consciousness. Embracing this holistic vision, the exhibition weaves individual breaths into the tapestry of global currents, embarking on a journey that awakens synesthetic sensations and delves into the realms of listening, perception, and resonance. In this information age, where attention fragments amidst discord and conflict, perhaps by experiencing and conveying the ineffable rhythmic beauty that transcends time and space, we can guide people back to their primal yearning for connection and mutual understanding. The publication ''Prosodic Notes'' emerges from the exhibition but isn't strictly bound by its concepts—it can be viewed as an alternative aspect of the exhibition. As we shaped this publication, we maintained an open dialogue with artists around the question: "How can works that pulse with sound and language find new life within the bounds of pages?" Some content consists of the original creations by artists. Another thread weaves in the artists' journeys toward their final works, including sketches, notes, archives, and interviews. These elements serve as passageways connecting living memories and experiences of the exhibition.

''L'image volée'' (The Stolen Image) includes more than 90 works produced by over 60 artists from 1820 through the present day. Demand's idea for the exhibition is to explore the way we all rely on pre-existing models, and how artists have always referred to existing imagery to make their own. Questioning the boundaries between originality, conceptual inventiveness and the culture of the copy, the project focuses on theft, authorship, annexation and the creative potential of such pursuits.
