Summary:
San Francisco, 1967. Le Summer of Love bat son plein et des milliers de jeunes arrivent de tous les États-Unis pour atteindre le quartier de Haight-Ashbury, laboratoire de l’utopie libertaire des sixties. Fruit de l’activisme et de l’idéalisme d’une jeunesse révoltée, elle a pris forme en quelques années sous l’action des beatniks, Diggers, Merry Pranksters, hippies, Hell’s Angels, artistes et de toutes les tribus du San Francisco psychédélique qui aspirent à bien plus que le traditionnel peace and love caricaturé par les médias. Ils défendent entre autres la liberté, la gratuité, la spiritualité, l’autonomie et la solidarité, dans la perspective d’un monde plus juste et harmonieux. De leurs imaginations est né un monde qui continue de propager aujourd’hui ses initiatives contre le système dominant, proposant des alternatives, notamment l’écologie, face à l’individualisme forcené.

Avant d'être une réflexion, le jardin punk est une réaction épidermique, une riposte contre le béton et l'intolérable rectitude des espaces de vie. Il invite à discerner le potentiel de tout lieu pour l'investir, l'améliorer, reconquérir la biodiversité et faire passer la nature d'un statut dérisoire, voire inexistant, à un statut remarquable. S'émancipant des règles du jardinage traditionnel, les espaces créés (publics ou privés) sont décomplexés, plus libres, plus beaux, plus sauvages — et les jardiniers aussi. Le règne végétal peut enfin reprendre ses droits ! Fainéants, rebelles, fauchés, écolos... découvrez, au fil des pages de ce petit livre, les conseils et astuces (à transgresser bien évidemment) qui vous permettront de " punkiser " efficacement votre jardin. De quoi joyeusement lier transgression et transition.

Summary:
This book presents the transcript of a conference held at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design on October 5–6, 1970, organized by Seth Siegelaub. Attendees at the event included Carl Andre, Joseph Beuys, Ronald Bladen, Daniel Buren, John Chamberlain, Jan Dibbets, Al Held, Robert Irwin, Mario Merz, Robert Morris, Robert Murray, The N.E. Thing Company (Iain and Ingrid Baxter), Richard Serra, Richard Smith, Robert Smithson, Michael Snow and Lawrence Weiner. The Halifax Conference was conceived as a means of bringing about a meeting of recognized artists representing diverse kinds of art from different parts of the world, in as general a situation as possible. Infamously, the conference was held in the college's boardroom, while students and other interested parties watched the proceedings on a video monitor in a separate space. The result was a conversation that devolved—technologically and ideologically—into quasi-tragicomic farce.

Summary:
This publication examines Duchamp’s readymades from two perspectives, beginning with the genesis and consistency of Duchamp’s concept in the first 50 years of the readymade century. The second part describes the history of the readymade’s reception, which extends far beyond Duchamp’s lifetime. The editions of Duchamp’s readymades as multiples and the exhibition of Andy Warhol’s Brillo Boxes constitute the hinge between the two sections. Occurring at the same time, independently of one another, these two events in 1964 mark a turning point in the middle of the readymade century that has direct relevance for contemporary artistic practices of the 'already made'.

In the late 18th century, surveyors divided the Midwestern United States into the Jefferson Grid: a system of neat, one-by-one-mile squares. But because the earth is round, the lines tapered to the north. Therefore the grid had to be corrected: every 20 miles, grid corrections brought theory and practice back together.

Summary:
In the late 18th century, surveyors divided the Midwestern United States into the Jefferson Grid: a system of neat, one-by-one-mile squares. But because the earth is round, the lines tapered to the north. Therefore the grid had to be corrected: every 20 miles, grid corrections brought theory and practice back together. Pilot and aerial photographer Gerco de Ruijter (born 1961) first spotted these small bends and T-junctions while completing a residency in Wichita; then, with the help of Google Earth, De Ruijter found thousands of these corrections. Presenting De Ruijter’s selection of over 250 photocollage grid corrections—snowed under or dried up, in cities and in deserts—and featuring an exceptional design by Irma Boom, this publication is a testimony to the human urge to design the landscape and the ways in which nature responds to that urge.

Summary:
For generations, world-leading German prosthetics company Ottobock has been restoring mobility to people and developing wearable bionics to mobilize the human body. Published on the centenary of Ottobock, this book presents the future of human mobility as envisioned by Hans Georg Näder, chairman of the company and grandson of its founder. What roles will digitalization, robotics, prostheses, artificial intelligence and the imagination play in how we optimize and employ our bodies, and shape the development of humanity? Conceived and realized by Thomas Huber, with photos by Christoph Neumann, 'Futuring Human Mobility' explores these questions and their philosophical, ethical, social, economic and medical implications in our changing global community, and incorporates interviews, essays, short stories and artwork by 40 international experts including David Chipperfield, Philipp Craven, EVA & ADELE, Yuval Noah Harari, Hugh Herr, Hiroshi Ishiguro, Chandran Nair, Carsten Nicolai, Neo Rauch, Wolfgang Schäuble, Kevin Warwick and Ranga Yogeshwar.
