Résumé:
Beginning with Venusia (2005) and continuing with Mercury Station (2009), Mark von Schlegell's System Series has moved backward in time, investigating the contours of time, memory, perception, and control in the inter-planetary system that emerge off-world in the twenty-second and twenty-third centuries during Earth's full collapse. In the latest installment, Sundogz, set among the water-rich moons of planet Uranus, extremist astro-marine "spacers" have constructed an aquatic world of extraordinary scope and ambition, entirely invisible to the System at large. The Good Fortune, a spaceship en route to Moon Miranda, the most beautiful and troublesome of Uranus's satellites, sends out a party to explore rumors of a secret fish farm in the ring. Now the "Oan Bubble" must attempt to survive its discovery.

Primitive literacy is redundant. Mere words are expelled. We inaugurate a world of pure presence. The mind, that intrudes itself between ourselves and those memories too terrible to know, must keep us moving beyond the grasp of their claw.

Résumé:
The Nose, one of Nikolai Gogol's most important and influential tales, is now available in this volume illustrated with photographs by British artist Rick Buckley. Taking on a life of its own, the nose of a St Petersburg official leaves its rightful place to cause havoc in the city. The novel ends with the author seemingly addressing the reader directly, refusing to resolve the story he has narrated. Written between 1835 and 1836, and a key precursor to absurdist and Magical Realist strains in 20th-century fiction, this fantastic tale is extended in Buckley's photographs, which document a Gogol-inspired street intervention for which he fixed plaster noses on to buildings all over London.

Artist, filmmaker and photographer Sarah Dobai responds to the story's preoccupation with material desire and illusion; the text is printed alongside her photographs of shop windows in London and Paris, showing ready-made still lifes of merchandise and mannequins in window displays.

Résumé:
The exhibition 'Architectures without Place (1968-2008)' presents a series of works that either were never built or no longer exist : a vast field which ranges from theoretical speculations, visionary prefigurings and ideas competitions to modified projects, ephemeral installations and botched buildings. This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalonian cultural history; in other words, it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space : comics, theatre, film, ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general.

Résumé:
Dans ce livre de contes absolument pas pour enfants, quatre beaux animaux racontent leurs aventures où la soif de sexe, de sang et d’orgueil transforme les villes en zoos et l’homme en bête féroce. À Moncton, un joueur de hockey junior majeur est catapulté dans une crise politique grave lorsqu’il couche avec une femme entretenant des liens étroits avec l’équipe locale. À Saint-Hyacinthe, une femme apprend à ses dépens qu’un bain de minuit dans la rivière Yamaska peut provoquer de graves effets secondaires. Dans le Village, un bear séropositif s’amourache d’un jeune homme et devient prêt à tout pour le faire passer dans son « équipe ». À Victoriaville, une étudiante s’en prend à la barmaid étoile du bar le plus populaire de la ville pour tenter de sauver son couple. Tout ça illustré en couleur, comme dans les livres de Disney.
