Résumé:
Founded in North Carolina in 1933, Black Mountain College ranks alongside the Bauhaus as one of the most innovative schools of the 20th century. Inspired by the forward-thinking pedagogical ideas of philosopher John Dewey, the experimental, interdisciplinary college combined the ideas of radical European modernism with the philosophy of American pragmatism and teaching methods designed to encourage personal initiative as well as the social competence of the individual. Visual arts, economics, physics, dance, architecture and music were all taught on an equal footing, and teachers and students lived together in a democratically organized community. The second director of the school was Josef Albers, and John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Walter Gropius, Franz Kline and Charles Olson were among its teachers. As a result, the college played a foundational role in the development of a range of avant-garde practices, and exerted an enormous influence on the development of the arts in the second half of the 20th century.

Résumé:
In 2006, Amsterdam's 66 East: Centre for Urban Culture organized a project in which artists and architects--including Theo Baart, Bas Princen, Ralph Kämena, Jannes Linders, Jeroen Musch and Hans Werlemann--examined Amsterdam's predominately Arabic and Turkish neighborhood, Indische Buurt, which had recently become home to studios and offices for the creative sector, often seen as the first step in gentrification. Adopting strategies ranging from critical commentary to activist intervention, the project and subsequent exhibition, Houses of Transformation, posits creative alternatives for urban planners, developers and administrators in responding to the inevitable and ongoing problems of urban renewal. This volume documents these strategies and proposals, while also casting a critical eye on similar neighborhoods in other European cities--including Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Brussels and London--putting the unique issues of Dutch gentrification into a larger perspective

Résumé:
Tight fascia, exhaustion. From the energy spent and drained in the routines of our days—from untangling ourselves from demands and expectations. But energy is also generative. And it emerges in the work of Mariuccia Secol in the textures of presence and absence that the stretching of fabric and skin have in common. Energy also pulses through Marina Vishmidt’s notion of infrastructural critique—and in her tireless hours of writing, teaching, and collaborating. For both Secol and Vishmidt, energy is everything, and this issue owes its impetus to their shared attention to energy’s rhythms and resistances.

Our new editorial cycle, Transformers, begins from the reckoning that transformation in the arts has never been linear.

Résumé:
Our new editorial cycle, Transformers, begins from the reckoning that transformation in the arts has never been linear. For us at AWC, it flourishes in repetition, meandering, and the subtle work of what often goes unnoticed. Rather than asking what is new, Transformers—not the 2007 blockbuster, but the era it anticipated, a spectacle of war, digitalization, and profit—attends to what has been quietly shifting as new configurations of power, labor, and life crystallize. The unfolding chronicle of atrocities revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein files exposes how greed underwrites tribalism, and how the dismantling of an already iniquitous globalism has been further engineered to concentrate wealth in the hands of the fewest of the few.

Résumé:
As this year’s editorial cycle was titled Value Attachment—a poetic and materialist inquiry into how we assign worth to our worlds—the Sumud Flotilla offers a paradigm for what that question truly entails. The Gaza Biennial reasserts, in its own terms, the primacy of relationships as the ground on which politics is built. Not relationships as networks of exchange or capital, but as infrastructures of mutual dependence and resistance: fragile, chaotic, complex, indispensable. Across the previous four issues in 2025, we have traced how this question recurs across different registers. Now, we turn to Relationships: to sentimental versions and terrains of struggle. Fascism, in its twenty-first-century iterations, thrives not only on nationalism and exclusion but on dismantling relational life: isolating, atomizing, privatizing it until solidarity becomes suspect and empathy itself a form of dissent. Proximity is policed, intimacy is surveilled. Love is reduced to transaction. Care is outsourced. Trust weaponized. Even friendship, the most basic form of political relation, is co-opted as a tool of influence and control.

Résumé:
Issue 38: Choreography inquires into how memories, histories, and rituals transform individuals into groups, words into policies, threads into textures, notes into dances, gestures into positions. Today, choreography thrives not only on stage but through social media, where short videos compress movement into consumable poses—endlessly repeated and algorithmically rewarded. Here the body mirrors Mark Fisher’s architecture of capitalist realism: gestures circulate even as they are emptied of meaning, as if there were no alternative but to keep performing. It is a dance of reflexive impotence, where participation feels inevitable and refusal unimaginable.

Résumé:
Known for her monumental wooden wall pieces and outdoor sculptures, Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) was a towering figure in twentieth-century American art. A more nuanced picture of Nevelson emerges in ''The world outside: Louise Nevelson at midcentury''. Discussions about Nevelson’s early involvement with modern dance and subsequent immersion in avant-garde theater bring new understandings of her drawings and sculptures. A reframing of her travels to Mexico and Guatemala in the early 1950s demonstrates, for the first time, how colonial archaeology haunted her visual language for decades. Other little-known facets of Nevelson’s life—her interest in folk art, architecture, and period furniture—open up a conversation about the artist’s approach to America’s past material culture.The book also reconsiders Nevelson’s work in the context of the environmental movement. Additionally, three contemporary artists relate Nevelson’s role in their careers and lives, a local expert describes her roots and relationship to Maine, and the artist’s granddaughter shares thoughts on Nevelson’s spirituality.

Résumé:
Pompeii has supposedly been already ‘fully photographed‘. But now the internationally renowned architectural photographer Hans Georg Esch and his team are opening up astonishing new perspectives on the over 2,500-year-old Roman city, which was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Known for their iconic images of the architecture of global mega-cities, the photographic work of the team HGEsch in Pompeii shows the excavated sites as part of today’s metropolis of Naples at the foot of the volcano and illustrates the parallels and connections between ancient urban planning and our contemporary cities. For the first time, the exhibition presents more than 80 of these magnificent photographs of what are probably the best-preserved remains of ancient Roman cities worldwide, taken from a 21st century perspective. The once vibrant and lively, then buried and now in ruins urban structure becomes more tangible than ever before.

Résumé:
LB 38 features Siza's Fundação Gramaxo. Situated in Maia, Portugal, the Gramaxo Foundation stands as a refined example of cultural architecture. Conceived as a single-story structure, the building balances modern clarity with deep respect for its historical setting. Designed to house the Gramaxo family’s artistic heritage, it offers generous exhibition spaces, a multipurpose auditorium, and service areas articulated through an understated, distinctly Portuguese aesthetic. Positioned parallel to a historic granite tank and a tree-lined avenue, the foundation preserves the site’s topography and greenery, enhancing both access and environmental continuity. More than a museum, Siza conceived the building as a large house—an intelligent, sensitive response that seamlessly weaves the new into what already existed. The volume features drawings by Siza and essays by the architect and Maria Souto de Moura.
