À l'image d'un couteau suisse, elle maîtrise plusieurs techniques pour réaliser des objets usuels aux corps sculpturaux : couverts en bois, vases en céramique, sacs en cuir, cheminées en plâtre. Conçu sans hiérarchie, souvent en collaboration avec ses amis, ce corpus est fait d'objets de différentes dimensions et aux usages tantôt fantaisistes, tantôt quotidiens. Valentine Schlegel a également réalisé nombre d'éléments architecturaux en plâtre destinés aux intérieurs. Ces sculptures à vivre sont aussi, par leur caractère indéplaçable, la raison pour laquelle son travail est resté méconnu. Valentine Schlegel: je dors, je travaille par Hélène Bertin est un catalogue « bio-monographique » réunissant une nouvelle iconographie et des documents d'archives. Des notices biographiques séquencent le livre et éclairent la démarche et la vie de Valentine Schlegel.

Summary:
'The Culture of Feedback' digs deep into a dazzling variety of left-of-center experiences and attitudes, and brings a new look at the wild side of the 1970s. The author shows us how ideas from systems theory were taken up by the counterculture and the environmental movement, eventually influencing a wide range of beliefs and behaviors, particularly related to the question of what is and is not intelligence. He tells the story of a generation of Americans who were struck by a newfound interest in — and respect for — plants, animals, indigenous populations, and the very sounds around them, threading his tapestry with cogent insights on environmentalism, feminism, systems theory, and psychedelics.

The ruins of war have long held the power to stupefy and appall. Can such ruins ever be persuasively depicted and comprehended? Can images of them force us to identify with the suffering of the enemy and raise uncomfortable questions about forgiveness and revenge?

Summary:
The ruins of war have long held the power to stupefy and appall. Can such ruins ever be persuasively depicted and comprehended? Can images of them force us to identify with the suffering of the enemy and raise uncomfortable questions about forgiveness and revenge? Françoise Meltzer explores those questions in Dark Lens, which uses the images of war ruins in Nazi Germany to investigate problems of aestheticization, the representation of catastrophe, and the targeting of civilians in war. Through texts that give accounts of bombed-out towns in Germany in the last years of the war, painters’ attempts to depict the destruction, and her own mother’s photographs taken in Berlin and other cities in 1945, Meltzer asks if any medium offers a direct experience of war ruins for the viewer. Ultimately, she concludes that while the viewer cannot help reimaging the devastation through the lenses of history, aestheticization, or voyeurism, these images at least allow us to approach the reality of ruins and grasp the larger issue of targeting civilians in modern warfare for what it is.

Summary:
As major actors in the unfolding drama of climate change, glaciers feature prominently in Earth’s past and its future. Wherever on the planet we live, glaciers affect each of us directly. They control the atmospheric and ocean circulations that drive the weather; they supply drinking and irrigation water to millions of people; and they protect us from catastrophic sea-level rise. The very existence of glaciers affects our view of the planet and of ourselves, but it is less than two hundred years since we first realized that ice ages come and go and that glaciers once covered much more of the planet’s surface than they do now. An inspiration to artists and a challenge for engineers, glaciers mean different things to different people. Crossing the boundaries between art, environment, science, nature, and culture, this book considers glaciers from myriad perspectives, revealing their complexity, majesty, and importance—but also their fragility.
