Résumé:
Rachel Harrison's assemblages of found and constructed objects carry a provisional quality, a wry sense of humor and an all-embracing intelligence. Playing with materials ranging from plinth, pedestal and corrugated cardboard to plastic ketchup bottles, insulated travel mugs and Barbie's wheelchair-bound friend, Harrison creates colorful, canny, thought-provoking constructions that are worthy peers of Rauschenberg's Combines. This volume, the most comprehensive monograph of Harrison's sculpture, video and painting to date, provides documentation of the past 15 years of her work and includes essays by Tom Eccles, David Joselit, Iwona Blazwick and Jack Bankowsky, plus contributions from Paul Chan, John Kelsey, Allan McCollum, Lucy Raven, Amy Sillman and Steven Stern.

Résumé:
Plastic containers from around the world figure in this series by still-life photographer Shinichi Kaneko. The containers originate from 20 cities, the majority of which Kaneko visited himself, making the rounds past DIY stores, mid-sized supermarkets, suburban big-box stores, and more in search of bottles of intriguing shape. He then shot the objects under strong lighting while using filters to minimise surface halation and render a matte finish, a process he describes as akin to puzzling out a chess problem. Yet the results reveal aspects and guises that ordinarily remain hidden from view. The aim of Kaneko’s project is to discover new narratives within readymade products.

Résumé:
This issue of a+u magazine features the work of Sancho-Madridejos Architecture Office (S-MAO). An ensemble of 20 projects, framed according to two investigative themes, are featured in this monograph, supported by axonometric diagrams and concept models. An essay by the founders’ close friends, Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa, reveals the deeper origins to S-MAO’s approach and describes how their trials and investigations have yielded 'new processes in engineering, new construction systems, and a new language'. Based in Madrid and established in 1982, the office has developed a nuanced and committed practice, rooted in investigations in plastic arts and aesthetic theory.

Résumé:
Tara Donovan's sculptures and installations are mind-bending experiences: she transforms common everyday materials like straws and index cards turning them into elaborate, room-size sculptures that are as surreal as they are beautiful. MacArthur "genius" grant recipient Tara Donovan's otherworldly sculptures have transfixed audiences for over a decade. Taking mundane materials and through clever craftsmanship, ingenuity, and repeated manipulation, the artist builds large-scale works made of rubber bands, plastic tubing, and paper plates into objects that evoke the natural world or other organic material. This volume--which accompanies a major exhibition at MCA Denver--features an expansive selection of her most significant works to date, including sculpture, drawings, works on paper, and site-responsive installations.

Résumé:
Architecture is not without the plastic play of light in the excavated space. On the basis of this simple and universal axiom, Dong Gong, founder of the Vector studio based in Beijing, has conducted a series of experiments since his debut in 2008, unscrupulously mixing languages of modernity with idiomatic expressions of a vernacular flavor, innovative materials and techniques. with craftsmanship and construction tradition. If contemporary is the one who establishes a "gap" with time, that is, they are able to operate in the present without being overwhelmed and subjected by it, Dong Gong, who in his architecture makes the past and the future interact, can define himself as an architect of contemporaneity.

Résumé:
Le Corbusier’s apartment-studio is an iconic object of the twentieth century, combining the indisputable material values of the building with the intangible "sense of place" of an architect’s home. Le Corbusier, who lived there from 1934 until his death in 1965, treated it as a permanent construction site—a unique place of spatial, plastic, and constructional experimentation. The phases of change at the apartment-studio are layered over each other, and thus the apartment’s "many lives" create major philosophical problems for conservation. This first book on the apartment-studio, richly illustrated with largely unpublished visual material, presents research undertaken by the Laboratory of Techniques and Preservation of Modern Architecture (TSAM) for the Fondation Le Corbusier during preparatory investigations for the program of restoration.

Résumé:
Immerse yourself in the thought-provoking and sometimes bewildering artworks featured in Installation Art. This artistic genre rejects the passive viewing of framed artwork and encourages an interactive and often theatrical experience that draws the viewer into the artwork and sometimes even transforms the viewer into part of the piece. Marvel at a room repurposed into a giant musical instrument, imagine pressing into walls quilted in fabric, or feel the excitement of jumping in a giant plastic balloon. The artists featured in Installation Art make use of both museum space and unexpected locations, such as parks, retail shops, and even metro stations to create new realities through the manipulation of all aspects of one's environment--sight, sound, space, light and touch. Includes artists' conceptual drawings.
