Résumé:
German artist Kurt Schwitters' Hannover Merzbau, a combination of collage, sculpture, and architecture, began, according to Schwitters, in 1923 with a small construction in a corner of the artist's studio, a room contained within the apartment he shared with members of his family. Also called "The Cathedral of Erotic Misery" or KdeE, the project eventually took over many of the spaces of his living quarters, filling the rooms with grottoes and caves dedicated to friends, artists, and cultural events. Left unfinished when Schwitters fled Hannover in early 1938, the Merzbau was completely destroyed during an Allied bombing raid over Hannover in 1943. While the project is usually listed as a marginal episode in the annals of Modern art and architecture, the Merzbau is of seminal importance in understanding the complex relationships between several European Avant-garde movements, including Expressionism, Dada, Constructivism, and Merz, the one-man movement Schwitters insisted was available to anyone. The project also provides information supporting the belief that artists such as Joseph Beuys and Robert Rauschenberg consciously extend the project of Merz. In delving into Schwitters' creative 'principles,' as well as the influences of prominent artists and architects on the Merzbau and vice versa, Elizabeth Burns Gamard discusses the project's physical evolution, its hidden meanings, and its significance within the artist's entire oeuvre. She also focusses on the relationship between Schwitters' ideas and those of German nature mysticism and German Romanticism, thus providing an extensive genealogy of the project as well.

Résumé:
Between the disciplines of art history and the history of science lies a growing field of inquiry into what science and art share as both image-making and knowledge-producing activities. The contributors of Picturing Science, Producing Art occupy this intermediate zone to analyze both scientific and aesthetic representations, utilizing disciplinary perspectives that range from art history to sociology, history and philosophy of science to gender studies, cultural history to the philosophy of mind. Organized in five sites--Styles, The Body, Seeing Wonders, Objectivity/Subjectivity, and Cultures of Vision--their topics extend from Cinquecento theories of female reproduction to the technologies of cloning, from medieval depictions of the stigmata to electrical metaphors for sex, from astronomical drawings to radioencephalography, from Phoenician griffons carved in ivory to factories cast in concrete. The internationally renowned contributors go beyond both science wars and culture wars by exploring substantive links between systems of visual representation and knowledge in science and art. Contributors include Svetlana Alpers, Jonathan Crary, Arnold Davidson, Carlo Ginzburg, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and Simon Schaffer.

In this suggestive inquiry into the operations of linearity in architectural theory and practice, Catherine Ingraham investigates the line as both a conceptual and a literal force in architecture. She approaches her subject from philosophical, theoretical, practical, and historical points of view, finding many places of convergence between architecture and other fields. She considers maps, architectural plans, the laws of geometry, systems of architectural knowledge, and mythologies of architectural origin in works of Le Corbusier, Vitruvius, Alberti, Tafuri, Derrida, Lévi-Strauss, Shakespeare, Lacan, Deleuze, Rilke, and Stendhal.

Rykwert plunges deep into architectural history, tracing the development of the classic orders from Greece to Rome and on through the Renaissance in France and Italy. He says the relationship between the human body and architecture is "deeply ingrained in all recorded architectural thinking." He especially sees a close tie between the body and the column, the essential building block of architectural order.
