Summary:
Visual Time offers a rare consideration of the idea of time in art history. The author discusses the art, and writing about the art, of modern and contemporary artists, such as Gerard Sekoto, Thomas Demand, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Cindy Sherman, as well as the sixteenth-century figures Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Albrecht Dürer, Matthias Grünewald, and Hans Holbein. In the process, he addresses the phenomenological turn in the study of the image, its application to the understanding of particular artists, the ways verisimilitude eludes time in both the past and the present, and the role of time in nationalist accounts of the past.

Summary:
« Ambiances en partage » : une telle expression recouvre au moins deux acceptions. On peut questionner la possibilité du partage des ambiances. On est ici dans l'« ambiance ressentie », l'ambiance en tant qu'éprouvée par les sens. On peut également mettre l'idée d'ambiance en partage. On est là dans l'« ambiance réfléchie », l'ambiance en tant que soumise à l'examen de pensée. Il en va des possibilités de passage entre le champ de l'expérience sensible et celui de la pensée réflexive. Et déjà nous sommes plongés au centre même de l'énigme, tant l'ambiance met en tension le sentir et le connaître, procède d'un je-ne-sais-quoi qui ne saurait trouver de résolution définitive. Le propos développé dans ce recueil consiste à tirer profit des paradoxes sensibles que cette énigme pose et des mystères concrets qu'elle recèle. C'est que l'énigme des ambiances en partage prend de multiples visages et conduit à de nombreux questionnements relatifs aux cultures, aux langages et aux corps urbains.

Summary:
Jeffrey Kipnis's essays on contemporary architects are less about making critical judgments than about explication, exegesis, and provocation. In these eleven essays, written between 1990 and 2008, he considers projects, concepts, and buildings by some of the most recognized architects working today, with special attention to the productions of affect. He explores “intuition” in the work of Morphosis, “exhilaration” in Coop Himmelb(l)au, “freedom” in the work of Rem Koolhaas and OMA, “magic” in Steven Holl’s buildings, and “anxiety” in Rafael Moneo’s writing about contemporary architecture.
