Résumé:
On attendait de Dany Laferrière son premier livre d’académicien. Voici qu’il nous donne un chef-d’oeuvre d’école buissonnière. Il y a du texte et il y a des dessins, mais ce n’est pas une bande dessinée. Ce n’est pas non plus un roman graphique, c’est un roman-roman, calligraphié et dessiné à la main.

On attendait de Dany Laferrière son premier livre d’académicien. Voici qu’il nous donne un chef-d’oeuvre d’école buissonnière. Il y a du texte et il y a des dessins, mais ce n’est pas une bande dessinée. Ce n’est pas non plus un roman graphique, c’est un roman-roman, calligraphié et dessiné à la main. En fait, c’est Paris qui se dépeint ici, avec les mots et les images de Dany Laferrière. Car Paris n’est pas seulement une ville. Paris est une fête, bien sûr, mais c’est également un lieu dans la littérature, un espace de fiction. Paris est « la ville où il y a le plus de livres au monde ». Les écrivains des quatre coins de la planète convergent vers Paris, hantent ses rues, ses cafés. Et les écrivains du passé y sont toujours vivants.

Résumé:
In her works, Ulla von Brandenburg interlinks various genres to create highly symbolic, staged presentations: sculpture, installation and film, performance, fashion and music, silhouettes and wall drawings. The exhibition space becomes a stage for her examination of the various modes of expression found in theater, the play with fiction and reality, role and identity. For her solo exhibition in the Darmstadt Artists' Colony Museum, Ulla von Brandenburg focuses on an installation developed specifically for this venue, which stands in connection with the unique history of the Mathildenhöhe as a think tank and experimental laboratory of modernism. She stages works from the Darmstadt Municipal Art Collection in combination with her own objects, whereby the focus is laid not only on the historic reception of the works, but also on questions of presentation, perception, and mediation.

Résumé:
Translated into English for the first time, ''On Contemporary Art,'' a speech by the renowned novelist César Aira, was delivered at a 2010 colloquium in Madrid dedicated to bridging the gap between writing and the visual arts. On Aira's path, everything comes under question - from reproducibility of artworks to the value of the written word itself. In the end, Aira leaves us stranded on the bridge between writing and art that he set out to construct in the first place. Like the great writers Walter Benjamin and Hermann Broch before him, Aira operates in the space between fiction and essay writing, art and analysis. Pursuing questions about reproducibility, art making, and limits of language, Aira's unique voice adds new insights to the essential conversations that continue to inform our understanding of art.

Vincent Josse est journaliste à Radio France. Chaque jour il emprunte le bus 72 à Paris, un trajet qui longe les monuments et les artères parmi les plus prestigieux de la capitale. Un parcours qui lui laisse le temps d'observer les passagers et même de les photographier : «Vieilles dames et vieux messieurs ont une place de choix dans ce qui, au fil des années, ressemble à une série riche d'une centaine d'images.» Ses photographies en couleurs racontent un Paris intempo. Paris rel où tissus, accessories et couvre-chefs composent un univers sociologique singulier. À quoi songent les voyageurs du bus 72 ? Dix auteurs de renom réinventent les vies de ces anonymes à partir des images de Vincent Josse, jouant le jeu de la fiction que suscitent, dans notre imaginaire, les passagers des transports en commun.

Résumé:
As the Chinese Cultural Revolution ended in the mid-1970s, room for scientific freedom emerged, and Chinese paleoanthropologists turned their attention to the existence of Bigfoot- and Yeti-like mammals. This trend was fueled by widespread enthusiasm in Western countries for the same phenomena. The topic quickly captured the Chinese popular imagination, with scientists descending on mountainous areas of Hubei province to investigate reported sightings of a strange being called the Wildman or "Yeren" in Chinese. Officially sponsored research, followed by stories from amateur enthusiasts, sparked a nationwide phenomenon called Wildman Fever that would last for decades. Wildman Fever tells the story of this search that led a nation into a wilderness of fact and fiction. The images were selected from the collection of Chinese vernacular photography at the Archive of Modern Conflict, London.

Résumé:
Does art possess the power to cause structural and meaningful changes in daily life? How can we inject our daily reality with the estranging, binding, and reflective qualities of theater, performance art, and the visual arts? Using the artist’s desire to escape institutional space as a point of departure, the temporary master 'Reinventing Daily Life' investigated the implications, the possibilities, and the limits of daily life as inspiration, as a place for presentation, and as a central material. This publication marks the completion and distillation of this inquiry. By means of a critical essay, correspondence with kindred spirits from the field, and visual impressions of the alumni’s work, this book reflects on the possibility to merge art and life, fiction and reality, and on the importance of this process for the future of artistic practice.

Résumé:
Collected here for the first time are Liam Gillick’s major fictional texts: ‘McNamara Papers’, Ibuka’, ‘Discussion Island/Big Conference Centre’, ‘The Winter School’, with Erasmus is Late and Literally No Place. Within each history and the utopias and alternative visions of society envisioned by writers, filmmakers, philosophers, and scientists are presented and speculated on, often through the fictionalised voices of secondary historical characters. Traversing genres of fiction and critical discourse, ideas are explored in a nonlinear, open-ended discursive format, in which the textual structure mirrors the structuring of the presented ideas. In each text Gillick’s concern is to explore complex, paradoxical historical moments and the ideologies that shaped, reflecting on how the redundant utopian elements of the past continue to structure contemporary society and remain impulses within speculations of our post-utopian future.

La stupidité, moteur de notre société ? L'idée est moins absurde qu'il n'y paraît. Un homme s'y consacre d'ailleurs depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans. Il s'appelle Matthijs van Boxsel. Du célèbre Club des Gaffeurs créé dans les années 1970 à la mystérieuse amstellodamoisitude, en passant par le ahah français et le haha anglais, ou encore le hodja Nasreddin, il traque la stupidité sous toutes ses formes à travers les contes de fées, les dessins animés, les jardins paysagers, les oeuvres de science-fiction, la littérature, la peinture, la politique, la religion, les théories les plus sérieusement délirantes et... l'intelligence. Résultat : ce livre-ci, qui montre que la stupidité se manifeste partout, en chaque individu, depuis toujours, et qu'elle pourrait bien être la marque de la grandeur de l'homme.

Résumé:
Is the idea of environment in architecture only ever reducible to 'environmental architecture'? For Ricardo de Ostos and Nanette Jackowski, tutors of Intermediate Unit 3 at the Architectural Association, the answer is a resolute no. Instead they offer an alternative reading of 'environment', in which the brutal and lyrical are juxtaposed through visually compelling narratives of architecture. Illustrating their apporach, this book presents ten years of student projects, all prompted by the unit's visits to extreme geographical contexts - from the rainforests of Brazil to the quarries of northern India. With additional photographic documentation and conversations with Lebbeus Woods, Geoff Manaugh and Peter Cook, Scavengers & Other Creatures in Promised Lands explores the gripping power of myth and fiction as radial narratives for imagining the near future of cities and forests.

Résumé:
"Blink" provides an up-to-the-minute, global overview of contemporary photography. "Blink" contains breadth of ideas, forms and approaches influencing photography today. It covers all types of work, from art to photojournalism, fashion to digital photography. A landmark event in the photography world, "Blink" presents the work of 100 photographers. They have been selected by 10 world class curators, each proposing 10 photographers who they consider to have emerged and broken new ground in the last five years. Each of the photographers (arranged A–Z) is featured over two double-page spreads, which show numerous examples of their work alongside an explanatory text by the selecting curator and biographical information about the photographer. The curators have also chosen texts by 10 writers, ranging from fiction to journalism, which they feel illustrate the cultural context surrounding the photography.
