Summary:
Frederick J. Kiesler - architect, sculptor, painter, designer, set designer and art historian. Kiesler was tireless in his pursuit of a radical new concept of interior spaces: his dream was a polydimensional living space, an organic continuum in which colour, form and light, combined with magical and mythical themes, would create a unique cosmos. His so-called Endless House stayed with him all his life; although it was never realised it still fascinated and influenced other architects and artists more than many 'real' 20th century buildings. The publication "Endless Space" has been produced in cooperation with the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation.

Summary:
"Temporary discomfort" documents Davos, Genoa, New York and Evian/Geneva in a transitory state of emergency lock-down during the global economic summits (2001–2003). It combines different photographical genres: landscape photography, photojournalism and police photography, though here with the camera lens turned back at the security forces. But instead of street fighting and handshakes, Jules Spinatsch shows winter nights in Davos, complete with floodlighted barbedwire labyrinths. He shows Genova, a fortress empty as the Mediterranean noonday sky. We see freight containers, symbols for world trade, that are used as barricades against its foes. He invites us to scrutinize the streets in New York at night: road blocks, tents, and mobile transmission units: that seem surreally empty. He photographs the sleepy waking of the security guards. Spinatsch examines the waiting for the big event that appears as meticulously planned, down to the last detail.

Summary:
This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Down the path : the artist's garden after modernism" at the Queens Museum of Art. " This study will not perpetuate a restricted examination of the formal aspects of gardens but present a selection of divergent positions taken both from lived experience and scholarship. In this effort "Down the garden path: the artist’s garden after modernism" moves away from the narrow representation of only exhibiting garden documents, to show a broad range of materials that refer to gardens as metaphors or points of departure to understand history, politics, and our relationship to nature. There is a long and distinguished list of artists’ gardens. Presented here is a small selection chosen from the vast history, not because they are well known for several of them are imaginary and another has been all but destroyed, but because of their integrity to an uncompromising position about the world." (Valerie Smith). Participating artists : Vito Acconci, Ghada Amer, Lothar Baumgarten, Roberto Burle Marx, Tom Burr, Mel Chin, Thierry De Cordier, Mark Dion, Stan Douglas, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Dan Graham, Lonnie Graham, Paula Hayes, Jenny Holzer, Ronald Jones, Anissa Mack and Dave McKenzie, Gordon Matta-Clark, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Isamu Noguchi, Nils Norman, Christian Philipp Müller, Ingrid Pollard, Robert Smithson, Alan Sonfist, Brian Tolle and Diana Balmori, Sergio Vega, Jan Vercruysse and Meg Webster.

Summary:
Le thème du sanatorium est récurrent dans l'histoire de l'architecture moderne. Présent dans les ouvrages de référence, il a aussi sa place dans les monographies consacrées aux architectes majeurs du XXe siècle : le sanatorium est un édifice emblématique dans l'œuvre de Jan Duiker aux Pays-Bas, d'Alvar Aalto en Finlande, et pour la France de Tony Garnier, d'André Lurçat, de Pol Abraham et d'Henry-Jacques Le Même. La tuberculose, la Peste Blanche, comme on nomme alors le fléau, fait au début du XXe siècle 100 000 victimes par an en France ; un gigantesque programme de lutte contre la maladie, en partie inspiré par les Etats-Unis, et dont l'apogée se situe entre les deux guerres, est à l'origine de la construction des sanatoriums sur le territoire national. La valeur thérapeutique du sanatorium se fonde sur l'hypothèse de la cure d'air, de lumière, de soleil, et sur l'isolement des malades contagieux, conduits à contempler un paysage naturel à l'écart des méfaits de la ville industrielle. Ce vaste défi, mené en l'absence de moyens thérapeutiques pleinement efficaces, s'est traduit en France par près de 250 réalisations, qui s'échelonnent du début du XXe siècle aux années 1950 ; l'avènement des traitements par antibiotiques annonce alors la désuétude de l'institution et de ses instruments. L'ouvrage analyse principalement le cas des réalisations françaises dans leur rapport aux influences allemandes, suisse, hollandaise, et américaine. La plupart des typologies produites relèvent en effet de transferts étrangers, et malgré les projets de Tony Garnier, il faut attendre les années 1920 et les tenants français du Mouvement moderne apportent des réponses exemplaires.
