Summary:
In this issue… Stan Douglas has a fascinating method for producing his series: identification. For “Midcentury Studio”, Douglas dons the garb of a Canadian news photographer and war veteran. In a conversation with Monika Szewczyk, the artist discusses this work and the recent “Disco Angola”. Elisabeth Lebovici converses with Barbara Hammer to retrace the artist’s career and delve into two recent works, one on Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, the other on Maya Deren, touching on themes of gender, role and discrimination. In Buffalo, in March 1984, Susan Krane and Bruce Jenkins interviewed Hollis Frampton, shortly before his death. The tapes, which Jenkins has retrieved from his archives 28 years later, offer an extraordinary conversation/performance of the American artist in LOST & FOUND. And much more...

Summary:
Of the fifty religious buildings discussed in this book, only a precious few remain standing despite the fact that Montreal boasts one of the largest and most eclectic groupings of Georgian and Victorian structures of any city in North America. Following the British conquest of New France in 1759 a remarkable series of transformations took place in the small, Catholic trading town of Montreal. Given the diversity of settlers forced to live side by side, the new church buildings that were to rise became strategic public spaces, meeting places as well as power bases. It was no wonder that by the time Mark Twain toured Canada’s first metropolis in the 1880s, he found that one could not throw a brick in the place without breaking a church window. By addressing the social, religious and architectural issues surrounding these colonial-era structures, it will become apparent that Montreal was at once a shining jewel in England’s imperial crown, a chief outpost of Catholicism in the New World, as well as the British North American headquarters for more than a dozen independent congregations.

Summary:
Les scientifiques ont démontré ces dernières décennies une évolution néfaste des conditions climatologiques au point que la question du climat est devenue incontournable dans l’espace public et politique. Si la capacité de production de la société industrielle a pu assurer à une partie des habitants de cette planète une relative prospérité, est-il encore possible de poursuivre ce type de développement qui sacrifie les écosystèmes sans même garantir l’essor du reste de la population mondiale ? La situation climatique n’oblige-telle pas à reconsidérer notre relation au monde, à définir un nouveau projet politique, à envisager un nouveau rapport à l’espace autour de la question écologique ? C’est ce dont nous souhaitons débattre à travers le cycle de conférences Climats organisé par l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais.
