Un espace à soi rend hommage au travail de quelques-unes des femmes les plus créatives du monde de l'architecture d'intérieur. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, la marque qu'ont laissée les femmes dans ce domaine est aussi riche que variée.

Cet ouvrage montre comment 250 architectes, décoratrices et designeuses, originaires de 50 pays, ont façonné l'environnement bâti au-delà du cadre domestique, et défini l'esthétique des intérieurs des XXe et XXIe siècles.

Résumé:
Anarchitecture, a radical aesthetic practice of unmaking the built environment, staged a vigorous confrontation with urban renewal and gentrification projects in the 1970s. In Anarchitecture After Everything, Jack Halberstam identifies a powerful lexicon of transformation within anarchitecture, joining the movement’s practices of cutting and splitting with the destabilizing power of transness to detonate acts of formal violence in our time. "Anarchitecture" describes the aesthetic practice of splitting and cutting, dismantling and undoing, unmaking, unbuilding, and ultimately unworlding. The trans body splits bodily coherence, dismantles the gender binary, and unbuilds bodily meaning. In these chapters, Gordon Matta-Clark’s cuts, along with Alvin Baltrop’s 1970s images of collapsing warehouses and Beverly Buchanan’s post-demolition fragmentary sculptures, return with a vengeance through the contemporary aesthetic gestures of Yve Laris Cohen, Jesse Darling, Nicole Eisenman, Kiyan Williams, Cassils, boychild, and Every Ocean Hughes. Anarchitecture unmakes space and offers a new rhetoric for emptiness. In its conclusion, the book explores this rhetoric through Renee Gladman’s anarchitectural experiments with language.

Résumé:
Grounded in personal experience, "Eviction" uncovers a hidden history of housing injustice and working-class resistance in what has become a perennial battleground for social conflict in modern Britain.In 2017, Jessica Field’s parents and more than a hundred of their neighbours received warning of imminent eviction. Their corporate landlord intended to demolish their affordable, privately rented homes to replace them with middle-class houses for sale. Led by the women of the estate, tenants launched an anti-eviction campaign to save their close-knit community from destruction.The neighbourhood was the last remnant of a 1950s National Coal Board estate constructed to house local miners. When the coal industry declined in the 1970s, whole estates were auctioned off to speculators. Low-income tenants were at the mercy of global investors. Houses were left to rot. Rents soared. Tenants were exploited every step of the way. Yet time and again, tenant activists – especially women – fought back.

Résumé:
"Intersubjectivity Vol. IV" explores the shifting stakes and responsibilities of intersubjective exchange—among individuals, between individuals and machines, and among machines—within increasingly networked social, political, and informational systems. While recent technological advancements highlight the advantages of decentralization, they also reveal how their functionalities limit our autonomy, guide us along paths dictated by capital, and even incite authoritarian tendencies. What tangible impacts does the digital realm impose on physical bodies, and who is most affected by these consequences? Through case studies, media analyses, object lessons, experimental texts, and other interdisciplinary methods of inquiry and critique, contributors examine our current frameworks and envision potential futures.

Résumé:
"Brakish waters" is the third of three projects to engage the resource industries of Vancouver Island (mining, forestry, and fishing), through contemporary art and writing. Brackish waters mingle the fresh with the salt. Departing from industrial ports and shoreline ecosystems, this publication crosses oceanic worlds of extraction and distribution. It responds to marine environments diffracted by the perspectives of artists, writers, Indigenous Elders, fish and fishers, biologists, citizen scientists, whales, physicists, boat builders, ship workers, sailors, pirates, brittle stars, and other creatures of the deep. Nanaimo Art Gallery is located on Snuneymuxw territory, one block from the city’s harbor, a place that has seen the forced displacement of Snuneymuxw villages, the arrival of precarious mine workers from China, the UK, and Scandinavia, and the World War II internment of Japanese Canadians who ran herring salteries and shipyards there.

Résumé:
Dimensions are dictated by truck transport, and assembly happens on site. The construction site stays clean and on schedule, and the topping-out ceremony becomes a stacking ceremony. Modular construction works. But can the module’s logic also be designed with genuine ambition, bespoke and flexible? “In essence, modular building runs two construction sites in parallel: one on site, one in the factory,” says the design team at Sauerbruch Hutton. For the Berlin practice, modular construction remains a learning process driven by time and cost pressure. Deconstruction potential, reusability, and hybrid systems become inherent design parameters – renegotiating the logic of serial production itself.

Résumé:
From anonymous pamphlets in which 18th-century art critics challenged the authority of the French Académie Royale while claiming to speak for the anonymous public to artists’ collectives like the Guerrilla Girls, who, since the mid-1980s, have harnessed the namelessness of their members for purposes of activism and of institutional and feminist critique: For a long time, anonymity in the art world was seen primarily as an emancipatory strategy; now, however, developments in society, politics, and media technology call for a critical reassessment. This very inquiry drives the latest issue of Texte zur kunst, "Anonymity." Probing contemporary phenomena in art and media in relation to historical examples and theories, it maps the complex tensions shaping the debate around identity and anonymity today.
