Résumé:
From constructivist textile and clothing designs by Aleksandr Rodchenko and Varvara Stepanova to the soft sculptures of Claes Oldenburg and Louise Bourgeois, twentieth century artists have looked to fabric and other materials to push artistic production beyond the image and the object. Over the past twenty-five years The Fabric Workshop and Museum, an experimental arts laboratory in Philadelphia, has evolved into an influential contemporary art museum with a significant permanent collection, collaborating with artists to redefine the boundaries of fabric and other innovative materials including rubber, industrial felt, fiberglass, horse hair, hog intestine, and plastic as artistic media. This book, which accompanies a twenty-five-year retrospective exhibition from the collection, highlights more than fifty artists' projects. The artists, designers, and architects include Marina Abramovic, Doug Aitken, Louise Bourgeois, Chris Burden, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ann Hamilton, Howard Hodgkin, Anish Kapoor, Roy Lichtenstein, Glenn Ligon, Robert Morris, Louise Nevelson, Faith Ringgold, Yinka Shonibare, Gary Simmons, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, Carrie Mae Weems, Rachel Whiteread, and Yukinori Yanagi.

Résumé:
"Trespassing: houses x artists" breaks through the conceptual boundaries that have historically divided art and architecture to describe new strategies of conceiving private space. In their individual collaborations with architects Alan Koch and Linda Taalman of OpenOffice, nine contemporary artists radically reinvent how domestic space is created and inhabited. The resulting works are open-ended, representing a new approach to visualizing form rather than a final product or conceptual destination. Includes work by: T. Kelly Mason, David Reed, Peter Noever, Renee Petropoulos, Julian Opie, Jessica Stockholder, Jim Isermann, Chris Burden, Barbara Bloom, Kevin Appel amongst others.

Born in New York and trained in architecture, Gordon Matta-Clark is most famous for his slicing through façades, walls and floors of derelict buildings.

Résumé:
Born in New York and trained in architecture, Gordon Matta-Clark is most famous for his slicing through façades, walls and floors of derelict buildings. This ‘deconstructing’ gesture, provocative and extreme, turns architecture into astonishing sculptures, where the mass of the building is entwined with the light and air that penetrate it. Matta-Clark’s interventions are always grounded in social or political convictions. Some of his projects include opening a restaurant (Food, 1971)in the then-neglected district of SoHo in New York, purchasing at auction fractions of unusable urban land in New York (Reality Properties: Fake Estates, 1973), dispensing oxygen to passersby in the streets of New York from a self-made cart (Fresh Air Cart, 1972), and other visionary urban projects that he conceived as a founding member of the New York-based Anarchitecture group. His practice remains one of the most unique, unequalled, and hugely influential of the past decades. A richly documented essay by Professor Thomas Crow presents new perspectives on the work of the artist. Also included are original essays by Judith Russi Kirshner and Christian Kravagna, as well as a ‘Documents’ section composed of key unpublished and hard-to-find essays and interviews, compiled by editor Corinne Diserens.

Résumé:
Ed Ruscha initially gained attention in the early 1960s with paintings, drawings, and photgraphic books that focused on his fascination with the unique culture, vernacular, and sensibility of his adopted home of Los Angeles. Ruscha has been considered a 'West Coast' artist, and although Los Angeles is undeniably the source of inspiration for his art, the themes he addresses are far-reaching and universal. A growing interest in Ruscha's work in recent years has led to major exhibitions that toured the United States, and a number of individual shows in Europe, which re-evaluate his art in the broader scope. This monograph on Ruscha's work looks at the prolific and many-faceted career of an artist whose work has been variously described as pop, conceptual, or surrealist a painter as well as a print-, book-, and filmmaker. The thematic and loosely chronological structure of the book brings to light the diversity and depth of Ruscha's art, while at the same time underlining the continuity and recurrence of themes and ideas within his ever surprising and prolific career.

« La mise en scène du lien de la communication sociale apparaît comme le dénominateur commun aux différentes recherches de Lucy Orta et rend bien compte de son parti pris de transversalité dans l'expression poétique. Elle affronte brillamment depuis 1992 l'important secteur de l'esthétique relationnelle. Le champ privilégié de son action est l'espace de proximité de l'humanité souffrante. Le travail de Lucy Orta combine l'architecture au body-art et au théâtre de rue, la mode à la thérapie sociale, la poésie formelle à l'activisme idéologique. » Pierre Restany.

Résumé:
This volume documents Gerhard Richter's 65-foot-tall, abstract, stained-glass window for Germany's historic Cologne Cathedral, the original of which was destroyed by bombs in World War II, and thereafter replaced with clear glass. Composed of more than 11,000 four-inch squares, or "pixels," in 72 colors, the window is based on Richter's 1974 painting, "4096 Colors," a grid of monochromatic squares 64 tall and 64 wide (for a total of 4096 squares) which was organized and designed according to a mathematical formula that systematically mixed red, yellow, blue and gray. Photographs of the work are accompanied by three essays which integrate this important work into the context of Richter's oeuvre, and shed light on the principle of randomness on which it is based. Gerhard Richter was born in Dresden and escaped to West Germany in 1961. He has lived and worked in Cologne, where he was made an honorary citizen last year, since the early 1980s.

Résumé:
Cette première monographie sur l'œuvre de Rewakowicz interroge de diverses manières toute la question de l'identité reliée à l'habitat et au vêtement. En contraste avec la masse stable qu'est la sculpture et l'architecture monumentale, les costumes et structures de l'artiste sont gonflables et mobiles, et s'intéressent aux lieu et aux personnes qui les activent. En utilisant des matériaux tels le latex, le polyéthylène, le papier d'aluminium et des panneaux solaires, Rewakowicz apprivoise les technologies afin de créer des expériences publiques et des vêtements fonctionnels qui peuvent se transformer en architecture portable, voire nomade.
