Résumé:
Depuis deux ans, l’artiste Anahita Norouzi développe un projet de recherche sur les dimensions écologiques, culturelles et sociales des questions migratoires sous l’angle des plantes non-indigènes qui sont apparues au Québec dans le prolongement des flux migratoires des populations. Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition «Jardin trouble : étude d’un enracinement», présentée à l’été 2022 à la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement, cet ouvrage rassemble des images et des textes qui permettent notamment de situer le travail récent d’Anahita Norouzi dans le contexte des approches artistiques de la botanique à travers le pays et à l’international. Fortes de leurs expertises différentes, les trois autrices signant la publication nous offrent une lecture plurielle et interdisciplinaire des photos, des vidéos, des sculptures et des installations qui composent l’exposition de cette artiste montante.

Résumé:
Le mot «Songline» renvoie à un système de connaissances propre aux populations autochtones d'Australie. Des histoires inscrites au coeur des territoires y consignent les savoirs écologiques, cosmologiques, topographiques et sociaux nécessaires au développement durable des sociétés. Explorant les songlines de trois régions du centre et de l'ouest de l'Australie, toutes liées à l'histoire fondatrice des Sept Soeurs, cet ouvrage retrace des pans de ce récit d'envergure universelle, tel que souhaitent le transmettre aux jeunes générations les aînés de ces communautés aborigènes. Les Soeurs et leur implacable poursuivant, un sorcier aux multiples visages, se révèlent ainsi dans une narration sensorielle. Elles apparaissent et disparaissent continuellement dans les paysages, à l'intérieur des sources, dans les collines, les rochers, les arbres - et jusque dans les étoiles qui nous surplombent.

Résumé:
During the 1960s, as Western notions of endless progress and growth gave way to concerns over industrial pollution, resource depletion and ecological limits, attitudes toward the environment became social, political and ideological. Published to accompany the first expansive survey of the history of environmental thinking in architecture, ''Emerging ecologies: Architecture and the rise of environmentalism'' looks at the role architects have played in defining our understanding of ''nature'' and the ''environment,'' specifically during the rise of environmental discourse. The illustrated publication presents over 45 architectural contributions—from Eleanor Raymond and Mária Telkes’ groundbreaking work on solar houses to Buckminster Fuller’s world resource management system and the environmental symbolism of Emilio Ambasz—to explore the role designers played in both promoting ecological concerns and in outlining the very terms of this nascent field. Through an introductory essay by curator Carson Chan and brief texts on each of the featured projects, ''Emerging ecologies'' documents the proximity between ecology, design and statecraft, allowing readers to take stock of historic milestones as architecture confronts today’s climate emergencies.

Résumé:
This volume is a gathering of Native North American contemporary artists, musicians, filmmakers, choreographers, architects, writers, photographers, designers and more. Conceived by Jeffrey Gibson, a renowned artist of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee descent, ''An Indigenous present'' presents an increasingly visible and expanding field of Indigenous creative practice. It centers individual practices, while acknowledging shared histories, to create a visual experience that foregrounds diverse approaches to concept, form and medium as well as connection, influence, conversation and collaboration. ''An Indigenous present'' foregrounds transculturalism over affiliation and contemporaneity over outmoded categories.

Résumé:
On 4 May 1968, a few hours after angry student protesters in Paris had caused the Sorbonne to be evacuated, the exhibition ''50 Years Bauhaus'' opened at the Württembergischer Kunstverein. Conceived by Herbert Bayer, Ludwig Grote, Hans Maria Wingler and Dieter Honisch, the then director of the Kunstverein, the show is still regarded as the most influential post-war exhibition on the Bauhaus. Fifty years after the opening of '50 Years Bauhaus'', the Württembergischer Kunstverein undertook a critical re-reading of the 1968 exhibition, with a particular focus on the ambiguous relationship that various prominent members of the Bauhaus had with National Socialism and the murky connections between the art avant-gardes and the military-industrial complex. While the 1968 exhibition historicized the reception of the Bauhaus, reducing it to West Germany and the US, the publication 50 Years After 50 Years of the Bauhaus reflects on the famous school in the context of artistic movements like the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus and the Situationist International.

Résumé:
In the mid-twentieth century, Black Mountain College attracted a remarkable roster of artists, architects, and musicians. Yet the weaving classes taught by Anni Albers, Trude Guermonprez, and six other faculty members are rarely mentioned or are often treated as mere craft lessons. This was far from the case: the weaving program was the school’s most sophisticated and successful design program. About ten percent of all Black Mountain College students took at least one class in weaving, including specialists like textile designers Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Else Regensteiner, as well as students from other disciplines, like artists Ray Johnson and Robert Rauschenberg and architects Don Page and Claude Stoller. Drawing upon a wealth of unpublished material and archival photographs, Weaving at Black Mountain College rewrites history to show how weaving played a much larger role in the legendary art and design curriculum than previously assumed. The book illustrates dozens of objects from private and public collections, many of which have never been shown in this context. Essays explore connections and networks fostered by Black Mountain weavers; the ways in which weaving at the college was linked to larger discourses about weaving and craft; and Bauhaus influences transmitted by way of Anni Albers. The book also includes works by five contemporary artists that connect and respond to the legacy of weaving at Black Mountain College today.
