"Artscapes" attempts to show how the artificial landscape produced by artists in collaboration with architects and landscape architects can alter the nature of place, transforming it into a location capable of establishing a more intense dialogue with the user. The sensibility of these artists selects, shapes and colonises the landscape in the reformulation of an ecological consciousness that shifts our attention of its constituent objects towards an awareness and understanding of emerging relationships.

Neither an architectural nor a documentary photographer, Aglaia Konrad focuses a direct gaze on cities like Cairo, Alexandria and Anwar el Sadat, capturing applications of “Modernist” principles in desert architecture.

Comment pouvons nous créer «le commun», des «relations d’emplacement»,un dialogue entre des composantes distinctes de la ville et des groupes ayant des intérêts diversifiés? À l’instar d’une notion avancée par Maurizio Lazzarato, l'objectif n'est pas de neutraliser les différences, mais plutôt d'enrichir le concept de communité grâce à ces différences.

"Monsieur Degas, you just said some things that would make an old soldier blush!" There are many myths about Edgar Degas—from Degas the misanthrope to Degas the deviant to Degas the obsessive.

Résumé:
"Monsieur Degas, you just said some things that would make an old soldier blush!" There are many myths about Edgar Degas—from Degas the misanthrope to Degas the deviant to Degas the obsessive. But there is no single text that better stokes the fire than Degas and His Model, a short memoir by Alice Michel, who purportedly modeled for Degas. Never before translated into English, the text’s original publication in Mercure de France in 1919, shortly after the artist’s death, has been treated as an important account of the master sculptor at work. We know that Alice was writing under a pseudonym, but who the real person behind this account was remains a mystery. Yet the descriptions seem too accurate, the anecdotes too spot-on to discount; even the dialogue captures the artist’s tone and mannerisms. What is found in these pages is at times a woman’s flirtatious recollection of a bizarre “artistic type” and at others a moving attempt to connect with a great, often tragic man. The descriptions are limpid; the dialogue is lively and intimate, not unlike reading the very best kind of gossip, with world-historical significance.

Résumé:
The life and work of the outstanding Catalan-Majorcan philosopher, logician, and mystic Ramon Llull continues to fascinate thinkers, artists, and scholars worldwide The primary idea of Ramon Llull’s teachings—to enable rational and therefore trustworthy dialogue between cultures and religions through a universally valid system of symbols—is today still topical and of great relevance, especially in the tensions prevailing in globalized spaces of possibility. This book addresses Lullism as a remarkable and distinctive method of thinking and experimenting. The origins and impact of Ramon Llull’s oeuvre as a modern thinker are presented, and their interdisciplinary and intercultural implications, which continue to this day, are explored. Ars combinatoria, generative and permutative generation of texts, the epistemic and poetic power of algorithmic systems, plus the principle of unconditional dialogue between cultural groups and their individual members, are the most important coordinates of this combinatorial–dialogical media and communication theory, which appeared very early in the history of science, technology, and art. It was developed in the work of Ramon Llull during the transition from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century when Arab-Islamic, Jewish, and Christian cultures intersected.
