Résumé:
Famed for his extension of painting beyond the canvas, via the use of stripes of color that frequently extend into the spaces in which the work is exhibited, Daniel Buren (born 1938) is one of France’s most internationally esteemed artists. As a guest artist in Paris’s art festival Monumenta, 2012, Buren has executed a vibrant and eccentric installation in the nave of the Grand Palais. Visitors are confronted by circular planes of colored glass that section off the space into different levels, creating an overall kaleidoscopic, mesmerizing effect. A collection of the preparatory sketches for his project, this book follows the development of Buren’s imagination and process from the initial stages—abandonment, remodeling and combination—to the final choices. The compilation is not limited to drawings, but instead, examines his “graphic sketches,” that is, as Buren himself notes, constituted by “anything that helps me clarify certain thoughts.”

Résumé:
Renowned for his sophisticated ruminations on nature and artifice, character and its construction, and the transformative lens of history and nostalgia, Philippe Parreno (born 1964) created C.H.Z. in a zone between science and fiction. According to NASA, any planet hospitable to life will most likely orbit a pair of dwarf stars in a Continuously Habitable Zone. The effect of multiple stars is black vegetation. Working with landscape architect Bas Smets, the artist painstakingly constructed a garden of black plants on the side of a mountain in Portugal, where the garden continues to flourish outside the framework of an art object; Parreno then shot a poetic, abstract film in that alien landscape, rendering the territory inescapably cinematic. C.H.Z. features the artist’s dark, impasto ink drawings, which functioned as a storyboard for the cinematographer Darius Khondji, as well as sequences of stills of the seven stages of the film. Parreno’s reflections and commentary are featured alongside the images and paired with comprehensive essay by Nancy Spector, deputy director and chief curator of the Guggenheim Museum, New York.

Résumé:
Abecé is a facsimile reproduction of a suite of drawings by Columbian artist Johanna Calle. On antique paper, Calle made a drawing for each letter of the alphabet, repeating each letter across the page while making small variations in size and orientation--demonstrating how a sign can be manipulated without altering its linguistic meaning.

Résumé:
Divided into four sections, respectively, books, scores, records and scattered documents, Sound Pages systematises an important part of the work of John Cage, addressing the various productions of which the American composer was an author, often overturning the traditional component parts and structures. Cage raised the question of making sound something perceptible to the eye: texts, books and music scores, then, become fully visual entities in which the artist tries to juxtapose syntactical links to a new location of characters on the surface of the sheet according to purely visual rules and criteria. The book accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Museo Internazionale della Musica in Bologna.

Disque vinyle / LP (33 rpm) This record is a rough approximation of how the island of Montréal might sound if played on a vast turntable. It is a record of what might be heard as a needle traces across the island’s varied surfaces, cuts through its snow banks and jumps its highway barriers.

Résumé:
Reading Ed Ruscha focuses on California-based artist Ed Ruscha’s interests in books, writing and the act of reading--and his particular relationship with artist’s books--which he has pursued over the course of five decades. Ruscha created his first word paintings--with oil paint on paper--in Paris in 1961. While words and phrases often function as symbols and motifs in his work, books as objects also make a substantial appearance, and the artist has deployed an astonishing range of visual means to explore the act of reading as a meaning-generating process. The 16 small artist’s books Ruscha produced between 1962 and 1978 (Twentysix Gasoline Stations, Various Small Fires, et al.) remain definitive classics of the genre. The texts written especially for Reading Ed Ruscha by Douglas Coupland and W.S. Di Piero explore Ruscha’s use of text through the lens of literary and poetic form, while Beatrice von Bismarck examines the book as work, medium of publication and exhibition format.

Résumé:
Erik Göngrich is a Berlin-based artist who works with sculpture, drawing, photography, and other media. His interest lies in architecture and design, in how things are made and why, and in interactions with places. He therefore fills this book with numerous drawings, sketches and full-colour photographs, all of which revolve around the topic of the so-called misunderstanding of Modernism and how urban settings and ideals can be put back on track through effective sculptural or monumental transformations of public space. Part manifesto, part research project, this book presents a fascinating re-imagination of Modernism’s failed and dilapidated legacy.

Résumé:
Mark Manders est sculpteur. Ses sculptures et installations intègrent la terre, le métal peint, les éléments de mobilier, le journal, la figure et les mots puisque le travail est aussi une sorte d’encyclopédie personnelle. À l’origine, Mark Manders vient de l’écriture et son travail apparaît comme une sorte de récit continu entrepris en 1986 sous le nom de Self-portrait as a building, un autoportrait mis à distance dans un monde parallèle. Les œuvres sont mises en forme lentement et peuvent être reprises. Tout au long de ces années, Mark Manders a constitué un vocabulaire immédiatement identifiable où se côtoient murs en briques, cheminées d’usines, animaux, personnages, sachets de thé. Souvent plus petites que le réel qu’elles évoquent, ces œuvres interrogent tant la question de l’échelle que la tradition de la sculpture et la position de la figure humaine dans un univers énigmatique et fascinant. Les assemblages surprenants placent immédiatement le spectateur dans la position du rêveur éveillé qui entre dans un univers qui, bien que figuré, est entièrement mental.
