Summary:
L'auteur réunit une diversité d'éléments présents dans la peinture et l'oeuvre graphique mais aussi dans les textes théoriques, poétiques et scénographiques de Kandinsky pour reconstituer une unité philosophique. Il met en place une nouvelle problématique de l'image qui voit s'affronter le monde du pouvoir sur l'autre et celui de l'accueil de la transcendance et de l'altérité.

Summary:
Liam Gillick has written a holistic genealogy of contemporary art that addresses art’s engagement with history, even when it seems apathetic or blind to current events. Rather than focus on dominant works or special cases, Gillick takes a broad view of artistic creation from 1820 to today, underscoring the industry and intelligence of artists as they have responded to(...)

Summary:
Liam Gillick has written a holistic genealogy of contemporary art that addresses art’s engagement with history, even when it seems apathetic or blind to current events. Rather than focus on dominant works or special cases, Gillick takes a broad view of artistic creation from 1820 to today, underscoring the industry and intelligence of artists as they have responded to incremental developments in science, politics, and technology. The great innovations and dislocations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have their place in this timeline, but their traces are alternately amplified and diminished as Gillick moves through artistic reactions to liberalism, mass manufacturing, psychology, nuclear physics, automobiles, and a host of other advances. He intimately ties the origins of the contemporary artist to the social and technological adjustments of modern life, which artists struggled to incorporate truthfully into their works.

Summary:
Spanning the history of literature, art, and architecture from John Ruskin, Henry James, and Ezra Pound to Manfredo Tafuri, Italo Calvino, Jeanette Winterson, and Robert Coover ''Killing the Moonlight'' tracks the pressures that modernity has placed on the legacy of romantic Venice, and the distinctive strains of aesthetic invention that resulted from the clash. In Venetian incarnations of modernism, the anachronistic urban fabric and vestigial sentiment that both the nation-state of Italy and the historical avant-garde would cast off become incompletely assimilated parts of the new.

Summary:
Cette publication est le résultat d'un long travail de recherche sur les réseaux d'approvisionnement des villes en nourriture. Suivant le trajet des aliments jusqu'à la ville, puis du marché ou du supermarché à la cuisine, et enfin de la table à la décharge ou aux égouts, Carolyn Steel offre une vision fascinante de l'évolution des cités à travers le prisme de la nourriture. Le sujet est plus que jamais d'actualité puisque la population urbaine devrait doubler d'ici 2050. Dans un style plaisant, clair et imagé, l'auteure analyse cette question à la fois éthique et écologique, donne des pistes pour repenser nos villes et leur arrière-pays, mieux les concevoir, afin d'y vivre en harmonie. Il s'agit de la traduction du titre « Hungry City ».

Summary:
This book of essays is published to coincide with an exhibition of the same title at Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London (October 23, 2015–March 26, 2016) commemorating the 200th anniversary of Soane's beloved wife Eliza's death on November 22, 1815. Its relevance to Soane studies, is, however, much broader, with essays shedding new light on the architecture of legacy in Sir John Soane's Museum; Soane's preoccupation with memorialization as revealed in the design process for the Soane family tomb; the legacy of his drawings collection; and Soane's attempt shortly before his death to sustain future interest in his collections by creating a series of time capsules. The essays, written by the curatorial team at Sir John Soane's Museum, are accompanied by 39 illustrations in full color, some of them published for the first time.

Summary:
After the first EP volume on the activities of the early Italian avant-garde, the second volume in the series identifies the current fascination with fiction across art, design, and architecture. Practitioners and theorists explore this strategy by pushing the debate into both speculative and real-fictitious terrains. Newly commissioned interviews, artist projects, and essays shed light on topics such as parafiction and algorithmic ambiguity. Included in the volume is one of the final interviews to be published with novelist and semiotician Umberto Eco; a conversation with Bruce Sterling, in which the science-fiction author responds to designers who reference his writings; and design theorist Vilém Flusser's 1966 essay ''On Fiction,'' in its first English translation. The EP series fluidly moves between art, design, and architecture, and introduces the notion of the ''extended play'' into publishing, with thematically edited pocket books as median between popular magazines (''single play'') and academic journals (''long play'').
