Résumé:
This book features Pousttchi’s new photographic installation at Nivola Museum in Orani on the Italian island of Sardinia. She chose the Metropolitan Life Building on 1 Madison Avenue in Manhattan as her subject for this piece. Criticized for its blatant Italian references at the time of its completion in 1909 — and the world’s tallest structure until 1913 — the building displays a hybrid identity, recalling cultural and temporal-spatial dislocations between the Old and the New World, Renaissance and Modernism.

Résumé:
« Are you here ? » compile pour la première fois les dessins au tampon que Hans Ulrich Obrist compose depuis des années. Ses compositions, parfois organisées en grappes ou en listes, flirtent avec la poésie concrète. Parfois rendus illisibles, ces leitmotivs peuvent noircir l'intégralité de la page à la suite de performances proches de la transe. Cette pratique est un exutoire pour l'auteur, un moment durant lequel il fait appel, à la manière d'un chamane, aux éléments de langage qui sont les siens. // ''Are you here?'' compiles for the first time the stamp drawings that Hans Ulrich Obrist has composed for years. Organized in clusters or lists, these poems flirt with concrete poetry. Sometimes made unreadable, these leitmotivs composed of his very own elements of language can blacken the entire page as a result of performances close to trances- a real outlet for the author.

Résumé:
''The Richter Interviews'' collects together a series of conversations between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Gerhard Richter over the course of more than two decades of discussion and collaboration. Subjects range from Richter's place within art history to artists books, architecture, religion, unrealised projects and his advice for young artists. The collection also includes a previously unpublished interview focused on Richter's much-lauded window for Cologne Cathedral, unveiled in 2007. Obrist's vast knowledge and interrogating mind coupled with his longstanding friendship with Richter make him a unique interlocutor for an artist whose work spans more than 60 years and ranges from painting to photography, glass to printmaking, watercolours to books.

Résumé:
Catalogue de la 9e Biennale d'art contemporain de Lyon (19 septembre 2007 – 6 janvier 2008), conçu suivant les principes qui régissent la programmation de la manifestation organisée par Stéphanie Moisdon et Hans Ulrich Obrist. Cet ouvrage relève à la fois du jeu, de la cartographie et de l'expérience d'une écriture collective. Pensé comme un livre d'histoire et de géographie de l'art contemporain, il est le résultat d'une série d'investigations et de programmations des concepteurs de la manifestation et de Thierry Raspail. Réunissant 70 « joueurs » du monde entier (artistes, critiques et commissaires d'exposition) répartis entre deux cercles selon le type d'intervention demandé, le projet s'est développé autour d'une question centrale : « Comment définir la décennie actuelle ? ». S'il était proposé au premier cercle de choisir de choisir des réponses parmi ce que les artistes produisent aujourd'hui, il était demandé aux joueurs du second cercle de séquencer leurs choix ou de les confronter à d'autres. L'ensemble de ces subjectivités, cadrées par quelques règles de présentation (qui ? pourquoi ? comment ?), participent ici à un exercice de délimitation, de détourage et de recadrage d'une décennie et d'un objet – l'art – dont le tracé est de plus en plus indispensable. La publication s'accompagne d'essais inédits de et d'entretiens avec Mehdi Belhaj-Kacem, Stefano Boeri, François Cusset, Okwui Enwezor, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Jappe, Paul Veyne et Ralph Rugoff.

Résumé:
The volume presents itself as a ‘meta-book’, that is a collection of Ettore Spalletti’s production concerning books, intended as works, artist’s books, editions and catalogues. ''Artist’s books often do not get the same attention artists’ other works receive. And there are even fewer books on artist’s books. I believe it is of crucial importance that books as an artist’s medium are presented alongside their other works. The passion and precision with which Spalletti has worked on his books throughout his trajectory presents a wonderful example of their importance in an artist’s oeuvre.'' - from the preface by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Résumé:
Hans Ulrich Obrist’s interviews map the evolution of the new music in Europe and America across all of its genres, from musique concrète to the recent hybridizations between pop and avant-garde, as techniques from both realms cross-pollinate. A Brief History of New Music is an ideal introduction to the experimental and new classical music of the past half-century.
