Résumé:
‘GRAM’ is a multiple research tool that combines graphic investigations with architectural explorations, where the publication is just a pretence and only the process matters. Each step is considered a potential research topic. The six architectural offices featured here – Fala Atelier, Norell/Rodhe, Razze Dazzle, Kosmos, Bast, and Maio – are all less than ten years old and consist of less than ten people. The profiles are based on a framework of dialogue that leads to theoretical or practical outcomes, in turn opening up the thought processes behind the production of space. ‘GRAM’ is a re-transcription of these conversations with additional annotations and translations.

Résumé:
'Trigger' is a new platform launched by Fotomuseum Antwerpen for research, reflection, and dialogue on all things photographic. This first publication on 'Impact' is made in close collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KABK), The Hague, and guest editor Donald Weber. It aims to cast impact as a re-enactment or assertion of radical intimacy, initiate a different gaze on the world, and show that impact can also exist within an ecology or geography of photography. Through 20 contributions by Ariella Azoulay, Lewis Bush, Taco Hidde Bakker, Andrew Jackson and Savannah Dodd, Shahidul Alam, Andrea Stultiens, and more, we learn how impact is social, participative, conflictual.

Résumé:
Guido Molinari est d’abord connu pour avoir engagé le Québec sur la voie de la modernité picturale en déployant une œuvre abstraite de reconnaissance internationale. Il a aussi mené, en toute complémentarité, une pratique poétique qui a donné lieu à la publication de trois livres d’artiste : Nul mot (d’abord paru à L’Obsidienne en 1979, réédité en 1993), Rosevi (1995) et(...)

Guido Molinari est d’abord connu pour avoir engagé le Québec sur la voie de la modernité picturale en déployant une œuvre abstraite de reconnaissance internationale. Il a aussi mené, en toute complémentarité, une pratique poétique qui a donné lieu à la publication de trois livres d’artiste : Nul mot (d’abord paru à L’Obsidienne en 1979, réédité en 1993), Rosevi (1995) et Ça (1998). Ces trois livres où alternent poésie et dessins, d’abord publiés par Molinari lui-même aux éditions L’Actuelle, s’offrent ici à un auditoire plus large, permettant la découverte tout à la fois la poésie d’allégeance surréaliste du peintre de même que les dessins qui l’accompagnent dans un dialogue fécond.

Résumé:
Neural Architects documents a unique collaboration between a leading architectural practice, Ian Ritchie Architects Ltd, and neuroscientists, which resulted in the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at University College London, a state of the art research laboratory and new architectural icon. In their work, Ian Ritchie and his architectural team swept away all preconceptions about how to design a laboratory. Instead, they visited neuroscientists around the world, gaining an intimate understanding of the way they use and construct the spaces around them. Through continuing dialogue, the design team imagined the new lab from the inside out and created adaptable, interconnected spaces to foster interactions between researchers from different disciplines.

Clement Greenberg (1909-1994) est une figure essentielle de la critique d’art au XXe siècle. Dire que son premier article, « Avant-garde et kitsch », paraît dans une revue new-yorkaise de gauche à l’automne 1939, alors que le jeune homme rentre d’un voyage dans une Europe sous très haute tension, c’est planter le décor où sa réflexion esthétique s’est façonnée et va(...)

Résumé:
Clement Greenberg (1909-1994) est une figure essentielle de la critique d’art au XXe siècle. Dire que son premier article, « Avant-garde et kitsch », paraît dans une revue new-yorkaise de gauche à l’automne 1939, alors que le jeune homme rentre d’un voyage dans une Europe sous très haute tension, c’est planter le décor où sa réflexion esthétique s’est façonnée et va bientôt s’affirmer : l’art du vieux continent d’un côté, de l’autre les courants qui se feront jour aux États-Unis après la guerre. Dialogue ou confrontation, le critique ne cessera d’en scruter les tenants et les aboutissants, le jeu complexe des influences, des dépassements, des continuités, des ruptures.

Résumé:
"Trading Places" rethinks, develops, and tests design-driven practices and methods to engage with participation in public space and public issues. With this book we aim to help art and design researchers, students, practitioners, and the multiple stakeholders they collaborate with, to explore what participatory ways of working in our contemporary urban environment entail. Six approaches are discussed: intervention, performative mapping, play, data mining, modelling in dialogue, and curating. Each approach offers a different kind of logic and produces a different type of knowledge. "Trading Places" invites the reader to discover common ground, explore new territories, and exchange points of view – in short, to trade perspectives on issues of participation.

Résumé:
This illustrated work reflects on the cultural implications of smoking, and suggests, through a series of brilliantly inventive illustrations, that society's attitude to smoke is both paradoxical and intolerant. It portrays a world in which smokers, banished from public places, must encounter one another as outlaws. Meanwhile, car exhausts and factory chimneys continue to pollute the atmosphere. Smoke is a beautifully illustrated prose poem that lingers in the mind. "A cigarette is a breathing space. It makes a parenthesis. The time of a cigarette is a parenthesis, and if it is shared you are both in that parenthesis. It's like a proscenium arch for a dialogue." - John Berger (in interview)

Résumé:
Vo Trong Nghia heads a leading architecture firm in Vietnam. Following his training in Japan, the architect returned to his home country with the humble ambition of preserving its essential landscapes in the face of booming urban development and prosperity. Peaceful forms in dialogue with the environment, pavilions of exact geometry and vernacular inspiration, and light structures where bamboo replaces steel are typical of his work. VTN Architects explores various paths in terms of form and technique, yet with the common pursuit of sustainability and an active social agenda, wherein vegetation also takes a central role. Fifteen works and three prototypes are featured in this volume.

Ce livre est un dialogue entre Jean-Paul Alduy, ancien sénateur-maire de Perpignan — ville des records nationaux de pauvreté, de chômage, de criminalité, de diversités culturelles —, et le sociologue Alain Tarrius, qui étudie les formes et les destinées de la mosaïque cosmopolite de cette ville. La ville de Perpignan est abordée sous toutes ses coutures, "par le haut" (réseaux culturels mondialisés, développement culturel, transformations urbaines) et "par le bas" (économies souterraines, trafics de drogue). Un livre passionnant pour comprendre les enjeux de cette ville du Sud, mais aussi pour s'interroger de façon plus large sur l'ensemble des sujets évoqués et leur impact sur un certain nombre de communes européennes.

Résumé:
As with Batia Suter's previous projects, ''Cloud Service'' is primarily interested in the visual dialogue that emerges with the simple act of placing images in new relations to one another. Drawing from her vast personal library of natural history reference books, encyclopaedias, and other flea market finds, Suter assembles a mix of 'non-art' images, adapted and reoriented in intuitive and often profound ways. The set of appropriated images comprising this book is a monographic index of clouds and cloud-suggestive forms. Placed in the right sequence, these images resonate in new and complex ways, manipulate each other, and take on new depths of meaning with a sort of synaptic leap.
