Summary:
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fabric works from the last two decades in the career of artist Louise Bourgeois. This body of work began when the artist started incorporating clothes from all stages of her life into her art, and later expanded to include a range of other textiles such as bed linen, handkerchiefs, tapestry, and needlepoint. The fabric works mine the themes of identity and sexuality, trauma and memory, guilt and reparation, and serve as metaphors for emotional and psychological states. The catalogue – which accompanies the exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, and the Gropius Bau, Berlin – features works from numerous series, including the monumental Cell installations, figurative sculptures, and abstract drawings.

Summary:
Alors que la crise économique conduit parfois à renoncer à des projets grandioses faits pour durer, une nouvelle vague de bâtiments et de créations architecturales temporaires déferle sur le monde, que ce soit pour loger de toute urgence des refugiés ou accueillir des spectacles. Autre secteur: celui des expositions et des foires, véritable mine de projets fascinants au service de la mode, de la joaillerie ou du design, mais qui apparaissent et disparaissent en quelques jours. Les défilés de mode ou les expositions d’art bénéficient aussi de cette nouvelle tendance dynamique qui intéresse les plus grands noms de l’architecture contemporaine - comme Zaha Hadid ou Rem Koolhaas -, mais aussi de très nombreux architectes, à découvrir dans cet ouvrage.

Summary:
This volume is the public debut of the Surrealist photography collection of David Raymond that was recently acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art. Photography and its many techniques—photograms, montage, collage—played a vital role amongst Surrealist artists who sought to mine the unconscious and unsettle the everyday. Raymond’s collection is distinctive in its breadth and quality and reflects the adventurous spirit of the movement’s founder, André Breton. This book presents 178 vintage prints from the 1920s through the 1940s by artists from 14 countries. Works by notable artists including Brassaï, László Moholy-Nagy, Dora Maar, and Man Ray are joined by rare examples by equally provocative but less well-known photographers.

Summary:
Philosophy exercises a massive influence on contemporary architectural culture and the understanding of the built environment. Discussions of architects and architectural academics are heavily loaded with theoretical ideas, concepts and views imported from the works of philosophers. At the same time this architectural employment of philosophy rarely goes beyond the tendency to mine philosophical works for ideas, words and phrases and use them, often without much understanding, in order to promote architectural agendas and embellish theoretical claims made by architects and academics. The book presents the history of this phenomenon for the past hundred years. It describes and analyzes numerous examples of false intellectual pretense across prominent architectural influences of the era and their efforts to bamboozle readers, colleagues and the general public.
