Résumé:
''Breathless'' is published as part of an upcoming exhibition taking place within a pavilion on The Power Plant’s South Terrace Summer 2022. ''Breathless'' shares contributions on the paradoxes of air, atmosphere and the breath with key texts and artworks. The book begins in the smog of our current predicament, with philosopher Dehlia Hannah proposing a new vocabulary for air in her text, ''Inversion Layer''. Following the flow of air, Flaka Haliti’s installation ''Speculating on the Blue'' opens a portal to an artificial atmosphere that defines boundaries of a closed reality. Connecting to parallel worlds, philosopher Achille Mbembe’s ''The Universal Right to Breathe'' captures a global perspective on breathing, offering alternative trajectories beyond suffocation. Marguerite Humeau’s speculative sculpture imagines a species that survives suffocation and evolves exclusively to breathe. Charles Stankievech exhumes the voices of Clarice Lispector and Lygia Clark as an interconnected mystical encounter in a text titled ''Breath with Me, A Breath of Life''. In ''Twilight of Sighs'', psychoanalyst and philosopher Alireza Taheri analyzes the sigh with a set of propositions. With the same intensity, Donna Kukama re-narrates history with her performance ''Chapter Q: Dem Short-Short-Falls'' as she breathes the memory of an invisible event. Invisibility of viral and virtual particles are positioned in the context of other historical times in Ala Roushan’s text ''Air of Our Closed World'', articulating the inversion experienced today within the domestic bubble/bunker. ''The Air Without'' by Kate Whiteway connects illness and metaphor to consider contradictions in the air that both oxygenates the lung while breathing diamond dust. With a granularity greater than dust, Heather Davis’s text ''Molecular Intimacy'' situates us at the nanoscale to position bodies within the atmosphere they breathe. This final text loops back to the start of the book in considering the air of our contemporary sky and the breath that exists in its precarious state. Under this arched sky, the book ends with ''Fire with Fire'', engulfed in the smoky aftermath of forest fires in the work of Julius von Bismarck.

Résumé:
In her drawings, German artist Jorinde Voigt (born 1977) develops a code of abstractionist signage that at first appears deeply subjective but soon reveals itself as the product of strict rules and systems. Blurring borders between science and art, these drawings analyze the structures of diverse cultural patterns via abstract parameters such as speed, frequency and orientation.

Résumé:
Dwelling for Intervals is a morphing International Artist Residency program, based on a forest retreat, that has hosted more than 150 resident artists from around the world since it began in 2001. First known as “A Week in the Woods”, it was situated in a room, in an apartment, in Montreal. Three years later, it became “This Neck of the Woods”, in a cabin in a backyard in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Finally, the project became a roving para-site called “Knock on Woods” which has temporarily staked claim to land in Holland, France, Portugal, Berlin, Japan, and Canada. Dwelling for Intervals is an independent state, a sculpture, a series of collaborations, an international artist residency, a wilderness, a tree house, a travelling circus and a relative site/situation for temporary doing and undoing. The publication documents both the sites and the on-site work of the residents.
