Summary:
Se plaçant résolument sur le terrain de l'écart et du corps, c'est-à-dire d'une expérience quasi physique et littérale de la photographie, Denis Bernard reconsidère l'ensemble de ce qui la fonde et l'oriente, et notamment ses invariants techniques. Que nous dit Denis Bernard ? Qu'il y a un "angle mort de la photographie". Standards, normalisations, dispositifs et dispositions, en s'imposant, ont figé peu à peu les choses. L'aventure, dès lors, consiste à regarder, ressentir ou penser différemment le "fait technique". D'où la nécessité de remettre en cause "toute décision qui a conduit à ne pas voir" et d'opérer un glissement singulier du centre vers le bord ou l'épaisseur de l'image. On visera ainsi à préparer des "pièges à lumière perdue", à scruter "l'à côté de la plaque", à traquer des "seuils de transparence", à saisir "l'empreinte d'un coup de foudre" ou inventer des "machines à voir". Nouvelle donne: il s'agit de photographier autrement. De "voir encore, dedans et au-delà". De privilégier les "brouillons acharnés" d'une "nouvelle étreinte".

This publication outlines the history of Mughal architecture and gardens, from stylistic developments under different emperors, to the geometric origins of Mughal design and decoration. Now the gardens are mostly lost, but the authors carefully depict how they would have been; their structures and layouts, the favoured varieties of colorful flowers and scented plants, and the laborious methods sometimes used to create running water in areas without natural springs and streams.

Summary:
The High Line, a new park atop an ele-vated rail structure on Manhattan’s West Side, is among the most innovative urban reclamation projects in memory. The story of how it came to be is a remarkable one: two young citizens with no prior experience in planning and development collaborated with their neighbors, elected officials, artists, local business owners, and leaders of burgeoning movements in horticulture and landscape architecture to create a park celebrated worldwide as a model for creatively designed, socially vibrant, ecologically sound public space. In this book, David and Hammond tell how they relied on skill, luck, and good timing: a crucial court ruling, an inspiring design contest, the enthusiasm of Mayor Bloomberg, the concern for urban planning issues following 9/11.

Summary:
The first book to look extensively at conceptualism in Canada, published to accompany a touring exhibition. The most transformative art movement of the late 20th century, conceptual art became a global phenomenon long before it was popularized by a new generation of artists and institutions in the early 21st century. Its various manifestations in Canada, however, have remained a limited concern, a whispered art history circulated among artists and writers primarily in alternative publications and artist-run centres. Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980 is the first publication and exhibition to track the complex, rigorous and diverse manifestations of conceptual art in the country. Presenting work by more than 90 artists, Traffic examines the particular local and geographic needs and interests enacted by individual artists, collectives and art communities from across the country. The book includes essays by six curators, a conversation with an international group of scholars, an annotated chronology and many reproductions of conceptual artworks produced in Canada. Co-published by the Vancouver Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Alberta, Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (Hart House, University of Toronto), Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery (Concordia University) and Halifax, INK
