Résumé:
First published in 1986 and long out of print, Between charts Burgin’s passage from early conceptual art, via appropriationist works and critiques of mass media imagery to a series of photo-texts informed by psychoanalysis, semiotics, cinema studies and feminism. Interweaving Burgin’s visual work with fragments from interviews, talks and letters, the publication offers insights into the relation of ‘theory’ to ‘practice’ in a form of art which has undermined the basis of this distinction.

Résumé:
Le dossier de ce numéro est consacré aux jeunes architectes européens. Nous publions leurs projets et réalisations et donnons la parole à plusieurs agences européennes en publiant les réponses à un questionnaire que nous leur avons soumis. D’autre part, le secrétaire général d’Europan, Didier Rebois, dans une approche globale et transversale, analyse leurs productions récentes. De la grande variété des projets et réalisations se dégagent des tendances fortes. Si certains maîtres d’œuvre sont attirés par une architecture de mode, d’autres expérimentent des voies nouvelles de recherches sur la ville : amélioration de l’existant, prise en compte de l’histoire et des réalités sociales, nouvelles technologies, développement durable, recherche de maîtrise d’œuvre ouverte. Contribuant à une nouvelle dynamique de l’architecture en Europe. Dans la rubrique Journal, nous revenons sur la problématique des immeubles de grande hauteur à Paris avec les projets du concours de la tour Phare à La Défense. La « Forme intermédiaire » de Block au lieu unique de Nantes interroge l’espace, et l’exposition « Nouveaux plaisirs d’architecture de Bruxelles » décline une étonnante créativité. Dans la rubrique Actualité, les prises de nuit d’une jeune photographe, Camille Hervouet, transfigure l’habitat toulousain. Pour une cabane baptisée Walden II en Allemagne, l’atelier Moormann fait preuve d’une belle inventivité comme Ch. Pottgiesser pour de petits espaces (bureaux à Paris). Autre sujet : une analyse d’un certain « savoir-construire Made in France » avec deux réalisations, le lycée hôtelier G. Tirel à Paris 14e (arch. Brénac et Gonzalez) et les archives départementales de Rennes (arch. Ibos et Vitart). Et puis encore, les chais d’Argamassas, conçus par A. Siza, s’inscrivent dans le paysage de l’Alentejo portugais. En design, Anthony McCall déclinant sa pratique du cinéma expérimental, crée des événements au sein de plusieurs sites dont l’Institut d’Art contemporain présenté ici. Deux cartes blanches du Via 2007 : Matt Sindall s’interroge sur le processus de création, et Inga Sempé regarde pour les renouveler les objets du quotidien. La rubrique Mise en œuvre fait le point sur les cloisons séparatives : la tendance est à la légèreté, à la flexibilité et à la résistance des matériaux, aux grandes hauteurs et à la prise en compte de l’acoustique.

In this collection of brief--often aphoristic--meditations, he reflects on the nature of beauty itself. Ranging over painters, poets, and musicians, Cocteau offers brilliant insights into the essential loneliness of the artistic vocation. As well as throwing new light on the author's own creative achievement, "Secrets of beauty" is a vital contribution to aesthetic theory.

Résumé:
Film noir remains one of the most enduring legacies of 1940's and 1950's Hollywood. Populated by double-crossing, unsavory characters, this pioneering film style explored a shadow side of American life during a period of tremendous prosperity and optimism. Edward Dimendberg compellingly demonstrates how film noir is preoccupied with modernity, particularly the urban landscape. The originality of Dimendberg's approach lies in his examining these films in tandem with historical developments in architecture, city planning, and modern communications systems. He confirms that noir is not simply a reflection of modernity but a virtual continuation of the spaces of the metropolis. He convincingly shows that Hollywood's dark thrillers of the postwar decades were determined by the same forces that shaped the city itself. Exploring classic examples of film noir such as "The Asphalt Jungle", "Double Indemnity", "Kiss Me Deadly", and "The Naked City" alongside many lesser-known works, Dimendberg masterfully interweaves film history and urban history while perceptively analyzing works by Raymond Chandler, Edward Hopper, Siegfried Kracauer, and Henri Lefebvre. A bold intervention in cultural studies and a major contribution to film history, Film Noir and the Spaces of Modernity will provoke debate by cinema scholars, urban historians, and students of modern culture - and will captivate admirers of a vital period in American cinema.

Résumé:
Although graphic props such as invitations, letters, tickets, and packaging are rarely seen close-up by a cinema audience, they are designed in painstaking detail. Dublin-based designer Annie Atkins invites readers into the creative process behind her intricately designed, rigorously researched, and visually stunning graphic props. These objects may be given just a fleeting moment of screen time, but their authenticity is vital and their role is crucial: to nudge both the actors on set and the audience just that much further into the fictional world of the film.
