A wide range of lifestyles, cultures and beliefs will need to find new ways of living in close proximity and sharing experience and resources. Conflict is inevitable but also(...)

Summary:
Views of Airports documents a lengthy series of work by Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012), comprising 1,010 photographs to date, all of which appear here complete for the first time. For this ongoing documentary project, the artistic duo photograph the airports they passed through in their travels around the world over nearly 25 years, in a quest for exotic banality throughout different cultures. Their images of these nondescript airports focus on the humdrum aspect of air travel : the fuel vehicles, the baggage trucks, the daily routines of airport workers, the long antiseptic corridors and sprawling tarmacs surrounded by panoramic views of empty vistas. Whether presenting a Lufthansa airplane sitting idle in a yellowy light, a Swiss Air plane waiting in a neon-haunted dusk or an Air France plane getting its belly filled in the dead of night, Fischli and Weiss’s images present the evanescence of any national identity when reduced to a symbol on a vertical stabilizer. 800 Views of Airports reveal the non-places encircling our world, and the non-journeys that have come to define our contemporary life in transit, while simultaneously offering carefully composed images that are strangely placid and restful.

Summary:
Dès 1965, l'Institut universitaire d'architecture de Venise devient le centre d'un nouveau courant critique animé par Carlo Aymonino et Aldo Rossi qui, sous l'influence du mouvement structuraliste, revendique une approche linguistique de l'histoire de l'architecture, à travers les concepts de typologie architecturale et de morphologie urbaine. En 1973, l'exposition "Architettura razionale", à la Triennale de Milan, formalise ce retour vers l'histoire qui, loin de l'abstraction du modernisme et de toute idée d'avant-garde, s'imposera comme une simple tendance, la Tendenza. Première publication sur ce courant spécifiquement italien, le catalogue illustre l'intense recherche graphique d'architectes (Carlo Aymonino, Aldo Rossi, Paolo Portoghesi, Franco Purini, Gianni Braghieri, le GRAU, Dario Passi, entre autres) cherchant à redéfinir la logique du projet architectural. Dirigé par Frédéric Migayrou et enrichi des recherches d'une nouvelle génération d'historiens, cet ouvrage s'interroge sur l'historicisation d'un mouvement dont l'apogée, marqué par la réalisation du Teatro del Monda (1979) par Aldo Rossi puis l'exposition "La Strada Novissima" (1980) organisée à Venise, contribua à la fortune critique mondiale d'un nouveau concept, le postmodernisme.

Summary:
Marcel Dzama's 2011 films A Game of Chess and Death Disco Dance revealed fascinating new developments in the artist's iconography and range of media--perhaps most notably in his use of puppets and dioramas, which added more playful qualities to his imagery of conflict and terror, and underscored his dialogue with modernist artists such as Duchamp, Man Ray and Oskar Schlemmer. This volume, published for Dzama's exhibitions at Sies + Höke and Kunstverein Braunschweig, reproduces a wealth of new work, including images, stage sets, puppets, dioramas and sculptures from the films; a suite of ten drawings called Forgotten Terrorists (2008-2011), that draw on a photograph of the Palestinian terrorist and hijacker Leila Khaled; and other recent drawings, such as "Pepper Spray Saturday" (2011), an interpretation of the already iconic image of policeman John Pike pepper spraying Occupy protesters at University of California Davis.

Summary:
The immersive soundscape installations and intimate environments of the Canadian artist duo Janet Cardiff (born 1957) and Georges Bures Miller (born 1960) present an ongoing series of chapters in the life of the ghost in the machine. Their works describe tales of tag-sale menace and shared loneliness through aural means, wholly reconceiving the gallery experience. A pioneering collector of new media art, Ingvild Goetz has assembled a significant series of works by Cardiff and Miller over the years, and this publication presents this important collection for the first time. Texts by Goetz, Okwui Enwezor, León Krempel and Rainald Schumacher provide background details and references to each work that shed light on its place in the artists’ oeuvre, with a particular focus on the couple’s very personal and theatrical use of sound.
