Résumé:
On connaît Guy Debord pour avoir été poète, cinéaste, artiste, théoricien révolutionnaire, directeur de revue et fondateur de mouvements d’avant-garde. Mais il fut surtout stratège. Qu’entend-on par là? Que la poésie, le cinéma, la théorie, et l’avant-garde furent pour lui les moyens employés dans le cadre d’un conflit contre la société de son temps. Un objet en particulier, Le Jeu de la guerre, dont la vocation était d’aiguiser le sens stratégique et la conscience d’une incessante guerre à mener, répond de cet objectif. Debord conçoit dans le milieu des années 1950 un jeu, qui se présente sous la forme d’un plateau quadrillé et de pions représentant les diverses unités d’une armée, qu’il pratique et cherche à diffuser tout au long de sa vie. En tant que modélisation de la guerre, le jeu permet de retrouver la charge critique des recherches situationnistes sur l’espace, la cartographie, les labyrinthes et le ludique en général. À l’heure où le design – qu’il soit d’objets, de systèmes, d’interfaces ou d’expérience – tend à envahir les discours et englober de plus en plus de champs de l’activité créative, technique, sociale et économique, et où l’art peine à penser les conditions de sa validité émancipatrice, Emmanuel Guy propose à travers cette analyse une relecture de l’œuvre critique de Guy Debord sous l’angle de la stratégie. Tiré de sa thèse de doctorat, ce livre offre un regard nouveau sur la vie de l’un des plus grands intellectuels de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle.

Résumé:
Born in Kiev in 1917, at the start of the Russian Revolution, Maya Deren died forty-four years later in New York City. In her brief life, she established herself as a pioneering experimental filmmaker, prolific writer, accomplished photographer, and crusader for a personal and poetic cinema. Although Deren completed only six short films in her lifetime, her impact on the history of cinema is immeasurable. This is the first full biography of Deren. Based on years of research, interviews with some of Deren’s closest collaborators, and generously illustrated with film stills and photographs, author Mark Alice Durant creates a vivid and accessible narrative exploring the complexities and contradictions in the life and work of this remarkable and charismatic artist.

Join our pajama-clad hero as he leaves his bedroom to see the sights of New York at night time. The book is produced using the very old technique of Ombro-Cinema: the lines imbedded in the design create an illusion of movement when contrasted against the lines of the acetate.

The cinema as a space where one spent entire nights played an important role in West Berlin in those days. While a large number of venues opened in squatted houses, which together with the Kino Arsenal, founded in 1970, formed a counter-pole to the commercial cinema landscape, urban spaces were converted to temporary projection locations in which film, super-8(...)

Résumé:
The cinema as a space where one spent entire nights played an important role in West Berlin in those days. While a large number of venues opened in squatted houses, which together with the Kino Arsenal, founded in 1970, formed a counter-pole to the commercial cinema landscape, urban spaces were converted to temporary projection locations in which film, super-8 installations, music, and performance bred each other. The book expands on the film series of the same name screened at Kino Arsenal in October 2006. Rainer Bellenbaum, Justin Hoffmann, Matthias Heyden & Ines Schaber, Dirk Schaefer, Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, Marc Siegel, Nicole Wolf, and Florian Wüst address the specific social and cultural conditions of the enclosed city in a variety of ways seen from the present, while the artist Krimo contributed a map of memory to the book.

Résumé:
As the status of sound in art and music evolves and redefines itself, so too does sound art find new ways of describing its history. See This Sound compiles a huge number of artists, filmmakers, composers and performers, reaching back into the early twentieth century and into the present to survey overlaps between not only sound and art, sound and film, and the metaphor of cinema as rhythm or symphony. Proceeding chronologically, the book takes the early cinematic “eye music” of Hans Richter as a starting point, noting parallel works by Walter Ruttmann and Oskar Fischinger; moving into the postwar period, the art/cinema/ music experiments of Peter Kubelka, Valie Export and Michael Snow are discussed, establishing precedents to similar work by Rodney Graham, Carsten Nicolai, Jeremy Deller and many others. In its scope and intelligence, See This Sound is a unique survey of this realm.

Résumé:
Cutural Cues is the sixth book featured the work of the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professorship, which brings young innovators in architectural design to the Yale School of Architecture. This book includes the studio research and projects of Joe Day of Deegan Day Design in “NOWplex” a cinema in L.A., Tom Wiscombe of Tom Wiscombe Architecture in “The Broad Redux,” for a new interpretation of the Broad Museum in L.A., and Adib Cure & Carie Penabad of Cure Penabade in the studio “Havana: Housing in the Historic Center.” The studios explore contemporary interpretations of the implications of cinema, the museum, and housing, taking cues from their complex cultural and urban contexts. Along with student work, interviews with the architects about the work of their professional offices and essays framing the themes of the work are combined with insight into the pedagogical approach of these practitioner-educators.
