Résumé:
This publication looks at agricultural practices and the appropriation of space in the city of Porto, Portugal, and the different ways in which this phenomenon has manifested in the aftermath of the financial crisis 2011. The book recounts the stories of ten gardens and the people running them, who have resuscitated urban brownfield sites by growing fruit and vegetables on them as a source of food. To achieve this end, they have developed infrastructures like watering and irrigation systems and methods of cultivation, recycling, and composting, while also building storage structures and producing their own tools. Although the gardens are primarily about people providing for themselves, they also lend themselves to recreation and leisure activities.

Résumé:
« Disover » est le récit d’un voyage au futur antérieur. Ce livre nous dévoile les contrastes d’une Chine contemporaine, en construction incessante, faisant surgir des villes de terre comme par magie. Malgré la violence de ce rythme effréné, il se dégage du travail photographique de François Daireaux et des textes du sinologue Emmanuel Lingot, une rare intensité poétique. Pour faire image, François Daireaux a arpenté plus d’une centaine de villes chinoises très peu visitées par les étrangers. Celles où l’arrogance des plus forts, l’exploitation des plus faibles et le mépris de la vie humaine ont pris les formes les plus impitoyables. Prémonitoire, ce livre nous montre une Chine dévastée. S’y esquissent bien d’autres catastrophes en devenir. L’homme y a pourtant sa place. Cette dérive photographique a commencé à Anshan en 2004 dans le nord-est de la Chine, puis s’est poursuivie de ville en ville, toujours plus à l’ouest pour s’achever en 2018 dans la région ouïghoure.

Résumé:
Inspired by ‘Tokyo Papers’ by Karel Martens, Ari Marcopoulos arranged his pictures while thinking about what would distinguish inside and outside, public and private. It is an idea that had already become a prevalent thought during the Covid-19 pandemic. The images in colour, hidden on the inside folds of the pages of this publication, are mostly portraits of objects and people, while the black-and-white photographs on the visible pages are recent work, primarily exterior shots taken in January and February of 2021. Envisioning his own photos in book form is “a good way to see how images look together”, according to Marcopoulos.

They gather and tell stories of care, refusal, and the many place-making emotions that carved black spaces despite European cities. This collection includes stories by k. eltinaé, Mário Barros, Moad Musbahi, Sarah Bekambo, Bothan Ahmed Botan, Belinda Kazeem-Kaminski, and Nasra Abdullahi who recount, account, testify, theorize, plot, and speculate. The storytellers write in a sense-making exercise that seeks to shake the epistemic grounds on which they were forced to stand.

Résumé:
Cette publication est une collection d’essais réunissant les voix de 16 artistes, commissaires, historien.ne.s de l’art et travailleur.se.s culturel.le.s autochtones, tant francophones qu’anglophones, œuvrant dans les territoires que l’on nomme Québec. Faisant suite à des expositions, des performances, des résidences d’artistes et des discussions mises en place lors du Projet Tiohtìa :ke (2017-2019) du Collectif des commissaires autochtones, ces textes honorent les relations et les affinités qui sont au cœur de ces pratiques en arts visuels. Par la diversité des points de vue et les enjeux soulevés par ces écrits, ce livre pose des questions cruciales sur l’avenir des arts autochtones et ouvre la porte à des dialogues longtemps attendus au Québec qui, nous l’espérons, permettront de créer de réels changements positifs. Il est maintenant temps de plonger dans ces imaginaires collectifs éblouissants et de nager dans les eaux ondulantes de ces mémoires résilientes.

Emblématique portraitiste de mode, « Prince des photographes », Cecil Beaton fut l’une des figures principales de cette vie mondaine et cosmopolite appelée Café Society. Et si nous savions de Cecil Beaton qu’il était un chroniqueur talentueux, nous découvrons dans cet ouvrage qu’il fut aussi un superbe écrivain. Au fil des pages, se succèdent les portraits de célébrités tels Balenciaga, Dior, Chanel, mais aussi d’élégantes, de modèles, de photographes et de tant d’autres. Ainsi Beaton encense-t-il une époque, se souvient des gens d’influence, rallume le chic, l’esprit et la déraison.

Résumé:
Focusing on reconciliation with nature, a respectful approach was taken when creating the exhibition “Jinyun Quarries— The Wuarry as Stage“.The large, extensive installation presents the unusual spatial feeling in the stone quarries of Jinyun scenographically and enables visitors to experience it. Spectacular, translucent models give an impression of the complex spatial structure of the spaces carved into the rock, accompanied by large-format photos, plans, and descriptions. The exhibition also explores the historical situation when the stone quarries were still in operation on the one hand, and how the population, the craftsmen, and the administration have accepted and assess the newly created infrastructures today on the other. This publication accompanies the exhibition.

These works come from different lines of research, some from past years (architecture and museum collections), others more recent (mushrooms and athletes in training), and particularly interesting is the link, sometimes subtle other times more articulated and complex, that binds the images together, in a continuous game of evocations and correspondences. The volume includes a conversation by Stefano Graziani with exhibition curator Alessandro Dandini de Sylva.

In her photographic work Austrian Aglaia Konrad has developed a distinctive way of documenting global urbanization. Her archive contains thousands of pictures concerning infrastructure and architecture, an almost unlimited collection that elucidates the relationship between society and place. The pictures allow the viewer to participate in a scenario where the dividing-lines between the old and the new, between architecture, nature, power and symbols are fluid.
