Summary:
“She was successively called Rachel, Monique, Szyndler, Calle, Pagliero, Gonthier, Sindler. My mother liked people to talk about her. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her. When I set up my camera at the foot of the bed in which she lay dying – fearing that she would pass away in my absence, whereas I wanted to be present and hear her last words – she exclaimed: ‘Finally.’”Sophie Calle describes Monique through extracts from personal notebooks and photographs from family albums, and presents her installation created at the Palais de Tokyo in homage to her mother, who died in 2007. This book was above all designed as an authentic art object, in collaboration with the artist. The cover text is embroidered to create a precious object, and all of the texts relating to the installation are embossed so as to evoke the texture of certain works by Sophie Calle. It is a highly personal and moving book, while at the same time offering thoughts on death that all of us can relate to.

Summary:
Dépassant le concept abstrait de « ville émergente » , cet ouvrage nous permet de comprendre le « modèle chinois » dans son efficience et son pouvoir de transformation de l’espace urbain depuis une vingtaine d’années, au Xinjiang et en Mongolie intérieure. Outil stratégique dans la « sinisation » des villes-oasis des Routes de la soie, de peuplement Ouïgour et de confession musulmane, la régularité chinoise modèle les zones d’expansion que sont, avec le Tibet, le Xinjiang, la Mongolie extérieure. Le développement économique que la Chine connaît depuis une vingtaine d’années confère à cette réorganisation de l’espace engagée depuis longtemps, une rapidité et une radicalité exceptionnelles. Des scenarios inédits de destruction, de transformation ou d’édification de villes apparaissent.

Summary:
The work of the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (born in Copenhagen, 1967) focuses on sensorial perception, the laws of physics and natural phenomena. He works in a variety of media, but is particularly known for his sculptural installations for specific places. His use of light, water, ice and clouds in these spaces is a reflection of his Icelandic roots,and the complexity and diversity of his work have made him a point of reference in the current international art scene. Olafur Eliasson was awarded the Joan Miro Prize in 2007 for his status as one of the leading artists of our times. His work has been shown in major museums around the world. "Light Lab" was at the Portikus centre in Frankfurt and "Take your Time:Olafur Eliasson," a retrospective for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art that was later exhibited in the MoMA in New York.
