Résumé:
Cabinet is an award-winning quarterly magazine of art and culture that confounds expectations of what is typically meant by the words "art," "culture," and sometimes even "magazine." Like the 17th-century cabinet of curiosities to which its name alludes, Cabinet is as interested in the margins of culture as its center. Presenting wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content in each issue through the varied formats of regular columns, essays, interviews, and special artist projects, Cabinet's hybrid sensibility merges the popular appeal of an arts periodical, the visually engaging style of a design magazine, and the in-depth exploration of a scholarly journal. Playful and serious, exuberant and committed, Cabinet's omnivorous appetite for understanding the world makes each of its issues a valuable sourcebook of ideas for a wide range of readers, from artists and designers to scientists and historians. In an age of increasing specialization, Cabinet looks to previous models of the well-rounded thinker to forge a new type of magazine for the intellectually curious reader of the future.

Résumé:
In 1540 Antonio Lafreri, a native of Besancon transplanted to Rome, began publishing maps and other printed images that depicted major monuments and antiquities in Rome. These prints - of statues and ruined landscapes, inscriptions and ornaments, reconstructed monuments and urban denizens - evoked ancient Rome and appealed to the taste for classical antiquity that defined the Renaissance. \Collections of these prints came to be known as the "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae", the "Mirror of Roman Magnificence." Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the University of Chicago Library's "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae", the largest collection of its kind in the world, "The Virtual Tourist in Renaissance Rome" places these prints in their historical context and examines their publishing history. Editor Rebecca Zorach traces their journey from their creators and publishers to pilgrims, collectors, antiquarians, and dealers - "virtual tourists" who, over several centuries, revisited and reinvented the Renaissance image of Rome. A marvelous exploration of a rich collection of engravings and etchings, this illustrated volume will fascinate anyone interested in Renaissance Rome, the history of print collecting, the reception of antiquity, and tourism.

Résumé:
Mexico City–based artist Francis Alÿs (b. 1959) has assembled a group of paintings depicting Saint Fabiola, a 4th-century saint who gave up all earthly possessions and devoted herself to the practice of Christian asceticism. All of the pictures in the collection are based on an original work—now lost—by the 19th-century French artist Jean-Jacques Henner. Alÿs's collection of Fabiola portraits, numbering in the hundreds and painted by amateurs and professionals alike, is the focus of this intriguing book. Not only does it examine the artist’s exploration of collecting practices, but the publication also offers an unusual window into aesthetic, sociological, and anthropological values of the past century. In addition to cataloguing each of the Fabiola works, the book includes Saint Jerome’s eulogy for Fabiola (the primary source for Fabiola’s biography), followed by an interpretive text on evolving hagiographies and saints’ vitae, an analysis of the role of iconographic imagery in the practice of Catholicism, and art historical essays that focus on Alÿs’s practice.

Résumé:
An exploration of the art and writing of Louise Bourgeois through the lens of her relationship with Freudian psychoanalysis. From 1952 to 1985, Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) underwent extensive Freudian analysis that probed her family history, marriage, motherhood, and artistic ambition—and generated inspiration for her artwork. Examining the impact of psychoanalysis on Bourgeois’s work, this volume offers insight into her creative process. Philip Larratt-Smith, Bourgeois’s literary archivist, provides an overview of the artist’s life and work and the ways in which the psychoanalytic process informed her artistic practice. An essay by Juliet Mitchell offers a cutting-edge feminist psychoanalyst’s viewpoint on the artist’s long and complex relationship with therapy. In addition, a short text written by Bourgeois (first published in 1991) addresses Freud’s own relationship to art and artists. Featuring excerpts from Bourgeois’s copious diaries, rarely seen notebook pages, and archival family photographs, Louise Bourgeois, "Freud’s daughter" opens exciting new avenues for understanding an innovative, influential, and groundbreaking artist whose wide-ranging work includes not only renowned large-scale sculptures but also a plethora of paintings and prints.

Résumé:
Quelles seraient les conséquences, dans l’espace urbain, de l’abolition de la voiture? « Post-car world » tente de répondre à cette question dans le contexte de la descente énergétique, à l’heure où la mobilité des personnes, des biens ainsi que du vivant représente le thème clé autour duquel reconfigurer le monde urbain. La question s’impose par son urgence dans la ville-territoire – soit la ville dispersée, à basse densité bâtie –, encore largement dépendante de l’usage de la voiture et oubliée des mesures favorisant les mobilités alternatives, engagées en revanche dans les villes denses. En prenant comme cas d’étude la métropole lémanique entre Genève et Lausanne, les auteurs développent une exploration à la fois cartographique, sociologique, historique, photographique et projectuelle de cette ville-territoire, visant à détecter ses potentiels de changement. En considérant la ville comme un palimpseste issu d’un processus d’incessantes modifications, une approche sociologique et une approche de recherche by design s’associent ici pour renverser le paradigme urbano-fonctionnel actuel et faire émerger différents futurs par les entrelacs des structures et restes matériels, des pratiques et des imaginaires sociaux.

Résumé:
Les villes du monde sont confrontées à une tension persistante entre l'attrait de la mondialisation et les besoins des citoyen.ne.s. Les partis politiques conventionnels présentent des solutions banales qui répondent aux intérêts des entreprises.

Ce livre explore l'avenir des mouvements citoyen.ne.s de Montréal à un moment défini par les menaces de pandémie, d'austérité, de spéculation et d'insécurité du logement, et de racisme. Il associe une analyse contemporaine à une exploration de la riche histoire municipale de Montréal. Les éditeurs de ''Un guide du citoyen-ne'' ont réuni plus d'une vingtaine de militant.e.s, d'urbanistes et de penseur.euse.s pour aborder les principaux problèmes auxquels les Montréalais.e.s sont confrontés et proposer des alternatives dans une perspective citoyenne. Les mouvements municipaux de partout verront leurs propres luttes reflétées dans ce guide et y trouveront une inspiration pour le débat et l'action.

Résumé:
Romanticism was a cultural and intellectual movement characterized by discovery, revolution, and the poetic as well as by the philosophical relationship between people and nature. Botany sits at the intersection where romantic scientific and literary discourses meet. Clandestine Marriage explores the meaning and methods of how plants were represented and reproduced in scientific, literary, artistic, and material cultures of the period. Theresa M. Kelley synthesizes romantic debates about taxonomy and morphology, the contemporary interest in books and magazines devoted to plant study and images, and writings by such authors as Mary Wollstonecraft and Anna Letitia Barbauld. Period botanical paintings of flowers are reproduced in color, bringing her argument and the romantics' passion for plants to life. In addition to exploring botanic thought and practice in the context of British romanticism, Kelley also looks to the German philosophical traditions of Kant, Hegel, and Goethe and to Charles Darwin's reflections on orchids and plant pollination. Her interdisciplinary approach allows a deeper understanding of a time when exploration of the natural world was a culture-wide enchantment.

Résumé:
The Walker Art Center recently opened its expanded space, which includes a new theatre, a new restaurant, and more galleries, but is best known for being Herzog & de Meuron’s first public building in the United States. The project drew national coverage from media including 'The New York Times'. 'Expanding the Center' caters to and piques public interest in the building with a generous selection of images, including sketches, renderings, and photographs of the construction process and the completed work. Herzog & de Meuron’s shimmering but grounded design mirrors the textures and shades of the Walker’s original space, and an institutional philosophy based in innovation and risk-taking, the exploration of alternative approaches to learning, the experimental use of technologies to communicate information, and the design of spaces to enhance a variety of museum experiences. The book is organized around the decisions and actions of the architects, builders, Walker staff and the audience - i.e. designing, constructing, unveiling, staging, gathering, patterning, framing, collecting - and highlights the thinking that led to the visible form of the Center as well as the innovative projects and initiatives that give it its inimitable character.
