Summary:
Anish Kapoor is one of a highly inventive generation of sculptors who emerged in London in the early 1980s. Since then he has created a remarkable body of work that blends a modernist sense of pure materiality with a fascination for the manipulation of form and the perception of space.

Summary:
Anish Kapoor is one of a highly inventive generation of sculptors who emerged in London in the early 1980s. Since then he has created a remarkable body of work that blends a modernist sense of pure materiality with a fascination for the manipulation of form and the perception of space. This book - the first major American publication on Kapoor's work - surveys his work since 1979, with a focus on sculptures and installations made since the early 1990s. With more than ninety color images of these ambitious and complex works, three original essays, an extended interview with Kapoor, and selections from his sketchbooks, this book confirms Anish Kapoor's place as one of the most remarkable sculptors working today. Kapoor's work has evolved into an abstract and perceptually complex elaboration of the sculptural object as at once monumental and evanescent, physical and ethereal - as in his famous Cloud Gate (2004) in Chicago's Millennium Park. The works in Anish Kapoor include such striking works as Past, Present, Future (2006), 1000 Names (1979-1980) and When I Am Pregnant (1992). Includes an interview with the artist by Nicholas Baume. Copublished with the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston

Soutenue et financée par le ministère de la Culture et la Ville de Paris, cette étude avait pour but de dessiner le Grand Paris du XXIe siècle à la fois créatif et durable, « la » priorité du protocole de Kyoto et du Grenelle de l'environnement. Une gare Europe à Aubervilliers, le bois de Vincennes transformé en Central Park, les toits de Paris couverts d'une forêt de panneaux solaires, un réseau de transports aussi performant que le métro de Fulgence Bienvenüe, des ministères en périphérie, Le Havre à l'horizon maritime de la métropole, voici un aperçu du Grand Paris 2030 tel qu'il se dessine en pointillés. Le propos de ce livre – fruit d'un travail d'investigation de neuf mois – est destiné à un large public qui appréciera la pertinence de chacune de ces propositions. Des jalons pour l'avenir.

Summary:
In the decades after World War II, from just prior to the revolution and into the mid-1980s, modernist architecture blossomed in Cuba, attracting both native talent and leading international architects from Europe. Havana Modern examines Cuban modernism’s highlights with a wealth of archival materials, photos and new scholarship. Edited by Rubén Gallo—author of Mexican Modernity (2005), Freud’s Mexico (2010) and Proust’s Latin Americans (2014)—the volume is arranged in 10 chapters authored by current and former Princeton faculty members and graduate students. These essays, which arose from seminars organized by Gallo and historian Beatriz Colomina, examine Max Abramovitz’s American Embassy; Richard Neutra’s De Schultess House; Martín Domínguez Esteban, Miguel Gastón and Emilio del Junco’s Radiocentro; Mies van Der Rohe’s office building for Ron Barcardí S.A.; Vittorio Garatti, Roberto Gottardi and Ricardo Porro’s National Art Schools for Havana; Mario Girona’s Coppelia Ice-cream parlor and park; Vittorio Garatti, Hugo D’Acosta and Sergio Baroni’s Cuban Pavilion at Expo 67; Antonio Quintana and Alberto Rodriguez’s "Edificio Experimental"; and Aleksandr Grigorievich Rochegov’s USRR Embassy. Havana Modern draws on history, politics, culture, literature and film to elucidate this outstandingly rich era in architectural history.

Mass-produced from the 1970s to the 1990s, modular kiosks like the seminal K67, designed by the Slovenian architect Saša J. Mächtig, and similar systems – including the Polish Kami, the Macedonian KC190, and the Soviet ‘Bathyscaphe’ – could be found anywhere throughout the former Eastern Bloc and ex-Yugoslav countries, from bustling city squares to socialist-era housing estates. They served as hot dog and Polish zapiekanka joints, farm egg and rotisserie chicken vendors, funeral flower shops, newsstands, car park booths, currency exchange offices, and more. Featuring over 150 kiosks – from Ljubljana to Warsaw, and from Belgrade to Berlin – this photobook provides previously unseen documentation of the remaining modernist booths that witnessed the socio-political transformation of Central and Eastern Europe at the end of the 20th century. While some remain active or have undergone refurbishment, others have been abandoned or have slowly faded from the urban landscape. The photographs in this unique collection were taken over the last decade by Zupagrafika’s founders, David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka. The book includes a foreword by urban explorer Maciej Czarnecki and an introduction by architectural historian Anna Cymer, offering invaluable insights into the history of these mobile structures.

The selected projects from Midtown and Lower Manhattan provide but a small cross section of the varying typologies of differing scales currently enhancing the architecture of New York City. Projects such as the Moynihan Train Hall by Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) endeavor to preserve the fabric of the city while addressing the increased need for transportation hubs by the expansion of Pennsylvania station to the adjacent historic James A. Farley Building, while adaptive reuse projects such as Gansevoort Peninsula Park by nArchitects are part of a decadeslong effort to transform the industrial waterfront into much needed green spaces and sports facilities. Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) addresses the shortage of residential space with projects that integrate the materiality of the building to its context and incorporate the human scale with the urban one. Amid the massive developments taking place, smaller practices such as Worrell Yeung and WORKac seek to preserve urban character, through surgical intervention in their renovation projects.

En Angleterre, sur l’autre rive de la Manche, de la même façon, l’artiste a symétriquement parcouru la côte vers l’ouest en partant d’Eastbourne jusqu’au cap Lizard en Cornouailles, pour, parvenue à l’extrémité de la péninsule, revenir vers Maer Cliff près de Bude, au nord-ouest du Dartmoor National Park, face au pays de Galles. Ce que l’on voit ici est d’une nature indéterminée et tient aussi bien du relevé topographique que de la photographie de paysage. Très peu de ciel, voire pas du tout dans ces images qu’il est quasi impossible de situer si l’on n’a pas repéré sur une carte l’endroit où elles ont été prises. Que l’on soit en France ou de l’autre côté de la Manche, rien ne permet de le comprendre vraiment.

Summary:
In the late 1990s, three monuments -- Crab Park "Boulder," "Marker of Change," and Standing "with Courage, Strength and Pride" -- were built in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Located within a few city blocks of one another, the monuments were grassroots initiatives that challenged the norms of civic art by claiming a place in public space for society's more vulnerable groups, and each figured in debates about many kinds of violence. "Speaking for a Long Time" offers unique insights into the creation of memorials and the multiple, often contested meanings that can be attached to them in local communities. Part 1, "Act," explores the monuments' origin stories and highlights the distinctive perspectives of their founders. Part 2, "Frame," places these narratives in the context of modern debates and theories on public space and social memory. Part 3, "Forge," returns to the Downtown Eastside to show how the resilience and agency of grassroots activists can give the socially marginalized a visible presence in our urban landscapes. This vivid account of the creation of memory-scapes in a marginalized community asks us to reconsider what constitutes public art that will "speak for a long time."
