Résumé:
"Committing to paper the movements, postures, and words of the people I meet gives me the illusion that I am close to them. I don’t speak to them, I only watch them and listen to them. Yet the emotions they arouse in me are real. I may also be trying to discover something about myself through them, their attitudes or their conversations." Taking Annie Ernaux’s unique(...)

Résumé:
"Committing to paper the movements, postures, and words of the people I meet gives me the illusion that I am close to them. I don’t speak to them, I only watch them and listen to them. Yet the emotions they arouse in me are real. I may also be trying to discover something about myself through them, their attitudes or their conversations." Taking Annie Ernaux’s unique artistic endeavour to "describe reality as through the eyes of a photographer and to preserve the mystery and opacity of the lives I encountered," this project by writer and curator Lou Stoppard uncovers the profound ways the written and visual image can inform and inflect on one another. In doing so, it proposes a new way of thinking about literature and photography, and the ways in which shared themes – such as class, travel, social stereotypes, and individual identity within the modern urban environment – might be explored between these two forms.

Martin Parr is a key figure in the world of photography and contemporary art. Some accuse him of cruelty, but many more appreciate the wit and irony with which he tackles such subjects as bad taste, food, the tourist, shopping and the foibles of the British.

Résumé:
Martin Parr is a key figure in the world of photography and contemporary art. Some accuse him of cruelty, but many more appreciate the wit and irony with which he tackles such subjects as bad taste, food, the tourist, shopping and the foibles of the British. Parr has been collecting postcards for twenty years, and here is the cream of his collection – his boring postcards. With no introduction or commentary of any kind, Parr’s boring postcards are reproduced straight: they are exactly what they say they are, namely boring picture postcards showing boring photographs of boring places … presumably for boring people to buy to send to their boring friends. All of them are shot in Britain, taking us on a boring tour of its motorways, ring roads, traffic interchanges, bus stations, pedestrian precincts, factories, housing estates, airports, caravan sites, convalescent homes and shopping centres. Some attempt to idealize their subjects, only to fail dismally. Others lack any apparent purpose or interest … but the resultant collection of photographic images is wholly compelling. Boring Postcards is multi-layered: a commentary on British architecture, social life and identity, a record of a folk photography which is today being appropriated by the most fashionable photographers (including Parr), an exercise in sublime minimalism … and, above all, a richly comic photographic entertainment

Résumé:
L'exposition « (Un)City - (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known », dont l'architecte et curateur belge Cédric Libert est le commissaire, a été produite initialement pour la Biennale du Design d'Istanbul 2012 par Wallonie-Bruxelles Architectures/WBA - l'agence de promotion de l'architecture belge francophone à l'étranger. A l'occasion de sa présentation au Pavillon de l'Arsenal à Paris (4.11-8.12.2013), WBA et les éditions de la Cellule architecture ont réédité le catalogue, augmenté d'un nouveau cahier de photographies de l'exposition par Maxime Delvaux, d'une traduction anglaise et d'un sticker photo reproduisant la maquette de l'exposition. « (Un)City - (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known » place la ville comme sujet de réflexion et de discussion; la ville abordée sous l'angle des multiples réalités qui la constituent, la ville perçue en tant qu'héritage autant que projet en devenir, la ville envisagée par la superposition, l'imbrication et la sédimentation de strates singulières. L'exposition réunit 100 projets d'architecture(s), intégralement repris dans la publication. Dans l'idée d'un récit entre imaginaire et réalité, il s'agit d'une collection de bâtiments et situations urbaines emblématiques de Bruxelles, assemblés sous la forme d'une grande maquette de 4m x 4m. Sous la forme d'un territoire imaginaire, elle rassemble des projets passés, présents et prospectifs emblématiques de la capitale belge : le Palais de justice de Bruxelles (1883), le site du Cinquantenaire (1880), la Maison du Peuple de Victor Horta (1899, démolie), le Pavillon du Bonheur Temporaire (2008, démonté), le Théâtre National (2004), le projet de Jonction Nord-Midi de Luc Deleu (1989, non-réalisé) ou encore le siège Glaverbel à la Chaussée de la Hulpe (1967). Par la reconfiguration autrement de tous ces projets sur la maquette et dans le livre, il s'agit d'une part, d'être attentif au vide entre les architectures construites - l'espace entre les volumes agencés - parce qu'il révèle l'existence de rapports inédits entre les éléments ; et d'autre part, d'explorer l'idée que chacun construit son expérience personnelle de la ville - une cartographie sensible, propre et unique, voire une mythologie intime. En bref, (Un)City se profile comme un guide de l'architecture à Bruxelles, alternatif et hors normes.

Résumé:
''Public, Private, Secret: On Photography & the Configuration of Self'' explores the roles that photography and video play in the crafting of identity, and the reconfiguration of social conventions that define our public and private selves. Consciously framed by our present era, this collection of essays, interviews, and reflections assesses how our image-making and consumption patterns are embedded and implicated in a wider matrix of online behavior and social codes, which in turn give images a life of their own. The writings address the various disruptions, resistances, and subversions that artists propose to the limited versions of race, gender, sexuality, and autonomy that populate mainstream popular culture.

What is the status and potential of the photo-book? Not only does the photo-book facilitate other means of display and distribution than gallery exhibitions, the book format also allows for challenges of photographys instantaneousness, illusions of movement, and investigations of the photographic language. The photo-book has furthermore been seminal in the distribution of avant-garde conceptual photography, as well as social documentary and political statements. Is the photo-book today mainly a mainstream medium, a collectors item, or a platform for artistic experiments? This collection of essays addresses current phenomenological, technological, and practical possibilities for communicating through photo-books and other visual narratives.

Résumé:
Long out of print, this seminal collection of essays and photographs are by artist, theorist and filmmaker, Allan Sekula. Originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984, in these essays and images Sekula sought to portray the inextricable bond between labour and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to argue passionately for a collective model of progress. Sekula taught at California Institute of Arts (CalArts) from 1985 until his death in 2013, and from that insider's position he critiqued photography and the circumstances of its production and consumption, exposing what the medium failed to represent – women, labourers, minorities and the institutional structures that reinforce cultural biases.

Résumé:
With the advent of digital technologies and the Internet, photography can, at last, fulfill its promise and forgotten potential as both a versatile medium and an adaptable creative practice. This multidisciplinary volume provides new insights into the shifting cultures affecting the production, collection, use, and circulation of photographic images on the Web. International contributors from across the arts and humanities consider fundamental concepts that are associated with the practical applications of convergent technologies and media, focusing on the role of digital and mobile cultures and image-making in the everyday life of citizens and their experience of today’s hypervisual digital universe, while exploring how contemporary artists creatively interact with such new photographic contexts.

Résumé:
''Adjusting the lens'' explores the role of photography in contemporary renegotiations of the past and in Indigenous art activism. In moving and powerful case studies, contributors analyze photographic practices and heritage related to Indigenous communities in Canada, Australia, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States. In the process, they call attention to how Indigenous people are using old photographs in new ways to empower themselves, revitalize community identity, and decolonize the colonial record. ''Adjusting the lens'' presents original research in this emerging field in Indigenous photography studies, juxtaposing the historical and the contemporary across a range of geographically and culturally distinctive contexts. The transnational perspective of this exciting collection challenges old ways of thinking and meaningfully advances the crucially important project of reclamation.

Résumé:
Ydessa Hendeles is renowned not only as one of the foremost supporters of contemporary art but also as a curator and collector. The collection she has assembled under the auspices of the Ydessa Hendeles Art Foundation is one of the most original, prescient, and highly regarded contemporary art collections in the world - if one of the lesser known. Large parts of it are being shown for the first time in Haus der Kunst in Munich, assembled and arranged by Hendeles; this book has been conceptualized by her in conjunction with the exhibition. In typical Hendeles fashion, "Partners" combines artworks, press photos, anonymous snapshots, and everyday articles. Maurizio Cattelan's HIM, a depiction of Hitler on his knees, plays a key role, as does a large installation of thousands of historical snapshots of teddy bears.
