Résumé:
Austrian artist Katharina Anna Loidl has reworked steel engravings of Swiss alpine landscapes, transforming the original nineteenth-century prints with an etching needle and burin. By carefully removing parts of the printer’s ink, Loidl also removes portions of the landscapes. In their place, she introduces simple geometric shapes, deliberately lacking in distinguishing architectural detail so that viewers are encouraged to imagine the addition of structures of their choosing—apartment blocks, industrial buildings, or sports facilities—to the idyllic images. Landscape Engravings brings together fifty of Loidl’s alpine landscapes. Vitus Weh's essay examines the sublime and crystalline character of Loidl’s art, and Paolo Bianchi looks at aspects of romanticism as a fund, landscape as a sensation, and the art of repetition. By introducing spatial interventions to the idyllic, perhaps idealized, images, Loidl asks the reader to consider the impact of residential and industrial encroachment on the natural world and the value we ought to place on its preservation.

Résumé:
"Trace elements" are minerals that exist in minute quantities necessary for the growth and development of cells. Exposure to excessive quantities is toxic, but without them our bodies would atrophy.

Résumé:
"Trace elements" are minerals that exist in minute quantities necessary for the growth and development of cells. Exposure to excessive quantities is toxic, but without them our bodies would atrophy. They are the crystalline structures that support life. Over the past decade, Aranda\Lasch has focused obsessively on these structures as a form of both organization and expression for architecture. Their projects explore the interplay between rule-based systems and human ritual. In scale, this work lies somewhere between furniture and building, so that what is built, drawn, and projected gives human measure to procedural thinking. Published on the occasion of the studio's exhibition "Meeting the Clouds Halfway" at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Tucson, this book is a collection of recent explorations into modularity, craft, pattern, rhythm, material, and memory. Trace Elements documents a wide-ranging and yet sharply focused body of work from an office dedicated both to intellectual exploration and the honing of a distinct design sensibility.

Résumé:
Art 42 est le premier musée de street art en France. Installé au cœur de 42, l’école d’informatique fondée par Xavier Niel, dans le 17e arrondissement de Paris, le musée est gratuit et permanent. L’ADN de l’art urbain est de casser les codes. En présentant une collection d’art urbain dans un lieu aussi inattendu que 42, Nicolas Laugero Lasserre crée une passerelle entre deux mondes, que sont la rue et le musée. 42 figure parmi les écoles d’informatique européennes les plus innovantes au monde. Fleuron d’un enseignement progressiste, elle s’est imposée comme une évidence pour accueillir une collection tout aussi audacieuse, avec des œuvres aussi atypiques que l’espace. Pourtant à rebours de l’idée même de musée, de par sa nature et son architecture, 42 offre à l’art urbain une vitrine majeure. ART 42, c’est un musée qui n’en est pas vraiment un, dans une école qui n’en est pas vraiment une…

Résumé:
Artists who create collages appropriate existing images and assemble them in new ways without being bound to a style or a medium. Frauke Dannert (b. Herdecke, 1979; lives and works in Cologne and Düsseldorf) has dedicated herself to this technique since her days as a student in Düsseldorf and London. Over the course of almost a decade, she has built a considerable repertoire of forms she now variously applies in works on paper, wall paintings, projections, films, and photographs. Architecture is the basic material and subject of the collages in which she explores questions of perception as well as orientation and recollection. She dismantles structures to examine their sculptural potential. Drawing on a personal archive of found pictures and her own photographs, she selects jutties, spires, ribbon windows, or entire façades, makes multiple photocopies, and alters dimensions and proportions. Out of the resulting elements she then pieces together weightless structures with a futuristic air.

Résumé:
Kara Walker’s work astutely examines race, gender, and identity. Walker’s newest series of large-scale drawings stem from her consideration of monuments and notions of permanence and impermanence following her massive public art project, A Subtlety, in Brooklyn. Influenced in part by the artist’s recent residency at the American Academy in Rome, this series of drawings is an extensive examination of how Walker envisions the rise and fall of society. Richly illustrated, this publication includes plates of each drawing, as well as intimate photographs of the artist at work taken by her partner, acclaimed artist and filmmaker Ari Marcopoulos. An introduction by Reto Thüring and Beau Rutland contextualizes the importance of this latest evolution within Walker’s oeuvre; John Lansdowne addresses the topic of Christian iconography and its relationship to Walker’s new drawings; and Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Tracy K. Smith contributes a new poem. In addition, a text by Walker considers her work within the recent political climate.

Résumé:
« La Popularité des conflits » est l'histoire d'un livre rouge qui pâlit. Il réunit cent sondages d'opinion publiés au lendemain de manifestations, grèves et autres mouvements sociaux dans différents organes de presse. Ces sondages ont la particularité de mesurer la sympathie d'une population pour tel ou tel conflit, donnant à lire, sous la forme d'un pourcentage, le degré présumé d'adhésion populaire à la manifestation d'une protestation elle-même populaire. Les sondages sont présentés par ordre de popularité décroissant, le pourcentage de soutien devenant ici le pourcentage de couleur rouge de l'aplat correspondant. Le rouge ayant servi d'étalon pour ce livre provient, quant à lui, d'une gravure ornant la page de garde de la première édition (1967) de l'ouvrage de Maurice Dommanget, Histoire du drapeau rouge.

Résumé:
Many consider Barry Schwabsky to be the critic on painting today, even if he does write copiously on other art forms,” write editors Rob Colvin and Sherman Sam in their foreword to this selection of Schwabsky's writings. Written since the turn of the millennium, the texts in 'The Oberver Effect' include meditations on the broader context of painting today alongside reflections on such well-known American painters as Alex Katz, Kerry James Marshall, Nicole Eisenman, and Dana Schutz, as well as practitioners from Europe and beyond?Bernard Frize, Tal R, and Ha Chonghyun among them. As Colvin and Sam point out, the book “documents a dialogue between abstraction and the image” in which “images serve less to represent their described subject than to articulate the sort of painting each one desires to be.

Résumé:
Pour sa onzième édition d’art contemporain, le château de Versailles a invité l’artiste protéiforme Hiroshi Sugimoto à investir le domaine de Trianon où il a convié art, photographie, sculpture, architecture, vidéo et spectacle vivant. À cette occasion, il a réalisé près de 20 portraits en noir et blanc inédits, allant de Louis XIV à Dalí, de Marie-Antoinette à Lady Diana, à partir de leur statue de cire. Les statues ont pris vie grâce au travail photographique de l’artiste. Des textes d’Hiroshi Sugimoto nous dévoilent un peu plus le regard contemporain qu’il porte sur Versailles et sur ses œuvres. Une maison de thé en verre, imaginée par Sugimoto, trône au centre du bassin du Plat-fond. Les dessins d’architectures de la maison de thé et des photographies en couleurs des différentes performances qui y ont eu lieu viennent compléter cet ouvrage. En cette année « Japonismes 2018 : les âmes en résonances », Hiroshi Sugimoto illustre ainsi à Versailles qui les a souvent symbolisés, les liens culturels entre le Japon et la France.

Résumé:
The first monograph on Portugese artist Carlos Bunga (born 1976) presents over a decade of his fantastical sculptural and painterly structures. Bunga uses only cardboard and paint to create immersive installations, furniture-like sculptures and paintings. “The Architecture of Life” surveys the artist’s sculptures, paintings, films, performances and installations from throughout his career, including the major new works created for his exhibition at the Museum of Art, Architecture, And Technology (MAAT) and Fundação Carmona e Costa in Lisbon. Whether he is using recycled materials or demolishing his own works, Bunga consistently pursues cycles of construction and destruction, and as a result explores the relationship of a space to its history and the inherent contradiction of the simultaneous impermanence and permanence of art. This volume features some of the artist’s own reflections on his work and writing from various art critics, writers and curators.
