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.

The catalogue contains the most intimate and secret works of the artist; objects that did not demand to become museum pieces, but which asked to be experienced and used together with family and friends; objects created by means of a unique relationship with his wife Germana, curator of the book: a continuous game of wonder, surprise and affection that led him to invent and build this furniture for his own home i.e. ...

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. It is a document of a landscape transduced into sound. montrealphonographe.ca

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.

Résumé:
Photographer Takashi Homma takes us on a journey deep into densely wooded areas in search of the many different types of fungus that grow there. More the collection of a curious wanderer than a serious hobbyist, the unidentified mushrooms are photographed against sterile white backgrounds as if recently plucked from the forest floor, with soil, bark and even small creatures still attached. The fungal portraits are interspersed with images of the forest itself, as if providing a natural context – a sense of actually being there – with surroundings of lichen covered trees, dense leafage, and the natural interplay of shadow and light.
