Résumé:
''Photography bound: reimagining photobooks and self-publishing'' is essentially a portable library, where each book – selected by the most eclectic and vibrant voices working in the field today – is declared an urgent addition. The result is a multi-part manifesto that radically and intimately engages with photography and publishing. The book unfurls from a three-day conference organised by Antonio Cataldo and Adrià Julià in 2020 at the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design at the University of Bergen and Fotogalleriet, Oslo. The conference found common but fragile ground amid a global health crisis. From there, it managed to catapult discussion and explore in depth the need to print and publish photobooks. Each contribution discloses a unique relationship to photobooks and publishing. Together, they are a trigger for social, political and cultural demands. This book makes a collective call to action – or actions – and asks each reader to reimagine where photography is bound to go.

Résumé:
Une publication de l'artiste et enseignante-chercheuse Marie Preston sur les pédagogies alternatives développées en France durant les années 1970-1990 dans des écoles « ouvertes » travaillant la question des rapports entre co-création et coéducation. Les équipes pédagogiques dont il est question dans ce livre étaient persuadées qu'il fallait transformer radicalement le système scolaire pour contrevenir à la reproduction sociale et il·elle·s l'ont fait ! Véritable terreau d'inventions éducatives, relationnelles, institutionnelles, ces expériences ont beaucoup à nous apprendre aujourd'hui. Notamment au regard des pratiques artistiques coopératives et de co-création qui partagent avec elles un désir et des manières de faire, comme celui de la transformation sociale, la co-gestion, l'émergence de commun et la création collective. Le livre se construit dans un va-et-vient entre des témoignages et entretiens menés auprès des acteurs et actrices de cette histoire et des éléments de contextualisation et d'analyse ouvrant sur les pratiques artistiques de co-création.

Résumé:
''In 1991, I moved to Berlin for four years. The Berlin wall had just fallen but you could still see sections of it, and certainly still feel the divide between the Capitalist and Socialist states. Discovering Central Europe meant learning about some very dark history. The scars of Totalitarianism were deep, visible and raw from both the Cold War and the preceding Second World War. These photographs were taken in Montreal during the Fall and Winter of 2013/14. I wanted to find a common visual ground where, through historical images we've all seen, my memories could be shared. I revisited these memories influenced by the political climate and my fear of a rising wave of militant nationalism and the return of the Police State. This work reflects some of my concerns through the evoking of personal and collective memories and the linking of present with past, and local to global.'' Eric Tschaeppeler

Résumé:
Online privacy is under constant attack by social media and big data technologies. But we cannot rely on individual actions to remedy this—it is a matter of social justice. Alice E. Marwick offers a new way of understanding how privacy is jeopardized, particularly for marginalized and disadvantaged communities—including immigrants, the poor, people of color, LGBTQ+ populations, and victims of online harassment. Marwick shows that few resources or regulations for preventing personal information from spreading on the internet. Through a new theory of ''networked privacy,'' she reveals how current legal and technological frameworks are woefully inadequate in addressing issues of privacy—often by design. Drawing from interviews and focus groups encompassing a diverse group of Americans, Marwick shows that even heavy social media users care deeply about privacy and engage in extensive ''privacy work'' to protect it. But people are up against the violation machine of the modern internet. Safeguarding privacy must happen at the collective level.

Résumé:
An examination of the multifaceted career of artist, activist, curator, and writer Howardena Pindell (b. 1943). It offers a fresh perspective on her abstract practice from the late 1960s through the early 1980s—a period in which debates about Black Power, feminism, and modernist abstraction intersected in uniquely contentious yet generative ways. Sarah Louise Cowan not only asserts Pindell’s rightful place within the canon but also recenters dominant historical narratives to reveal the profound and overlooked roles that Black women artists have played in shaping modernist abstraction. Pindell’s career acts as a springboard for a broader study of how artists have responded during periods of heightened social activism and used abstraction to convey political urgency. With works that drew on Ghanaian textiles, administrative labor, cosmetics, and postminimalism, Pindell deployed abstraction in deeply personal ways that resonated with collective African diasporic and women’s practices. In her groundbreaking analysis, Cowan argues that such work advanced Black feminist modernisms, diverse creative practices that unsettle racist and sexist logics.

Résumé:
Le premier numéro de la revue Back Office, intitulé « Faire avec (l’outil) » interrogera les notions d’outil, d’instrument et d’appareil, dans le contexte du design. Depuis l’apparition du Macintosh en 1982, les designers se sont saisis d’objets numériques mis à leur disposition par des sociétés. Les pratiques physiques liées à la fabrication des formes (montage, collage, découpage, calque, scotch, crayon, etc.) se seraient, si l’on croit Lev Manovich, progressivement transformées en un enchaînement de fonctions prédéterminées par les créateurs de logiciels. Tandis que l’usage et l’emploi rabattent la créativité dans une anticipation constante de ce qui sera produit, il existe pourtant d’autres voies possibles. Comment inscrire au nom du design cette attirance pour l’âge d’or du « fait main », qui pourrait bien n’avoir jamais existé ? Sous quelles conditions le design peut-il faire des objets techniques des « appareils » ouverts sur des perspectives émancipatrices d’inventivité individuelle et collective ? À quelles modalités devraient répondre des systèmes garantissant aux designers un contexte de création « libre » ?

Résumé:
This volume addresses the complex relationships that the reproducible image creates with its viewers, their bodies, their minds, and their sense of the physical and metaphysical world. The selection addresses the image’s role in the social constitution of individual and collective identity, in social practices of resistance to the structural violences of racism, or in relation to state exercises of power. Of particular importance in this volume are questions of our changing relationship to space and to selfhood as mediated by the image and by the many networked technologies and norms built around it. Essays in the volume ask: what modes of attention are required of us as viewers and agents of image circulation? The question of how image technologies provide us with an array of freedoms is here combined with and read against the many ways images are deployed to reorient, repress, or reduce our field of vision—thus affecting our capacity to see and to act in social space.

Résumé:
"Healed outcomes" is a symbolic issue for The Site Magazine. It marks a break from our past and the numeration we have used for the last twenty years, and initiates our first series. This series will be published over the next three years and each issue will build on those preceding to explore how architecture can address today’s most pressing challenges. This first issue has long been in the works. Influenced by our discussions with Juhani Pallasmaa, who writes, "We are in constant dialogue and interaction with the environment, to the degree that it is impossible to detach the image of the self from its spatial and situational existence," it was clear to us that the inextricable relationship between space and consciousness was a natural starting point for any ongoing discussion about architecture’s role in the world. Without question, the offering of spaces for individual and collective healing is a role that architecture has maintained over time and across cultures.

Résumé:
''INUA: Inuit Nunangat Ungammuaktut Atautikkut (Inuit Moving Forward Together)'' refers to the life force of all things. As an acronym, it also speaks to our collective vision for Qaumajuq as a place for Inuit to work together towards an exciting new future in the arts, foregrounded by our shared culture and language. The exhibition includes approximately 100 works of art made by 91 artists—from the 1940s to the present—including works from the WAG and Government of Nunavut collections, fifteen commissioned artworks, and loans from across Canada, Alaska and Greenland. INUA is curated by four Inuit and Inuvialuit curators, representing the four regions of Inuit homelands in Canada today. From east to west, they are: Dr. Heather Igloliorte (Nunatsiavut); asinnajaq (Nunavik); Krista Ulujuk Zawadski (Nunavut) and Kablusiak (Inuvialuit Nunangit Sannaiqtuaq). It is also supported by many other Inuk contributors; Project Manager Jocelyn Piirainen; Exhibition Designer Nicole Luke; Graphic Designer Mark Bennett; Educator Kayla Bruce; and WAG Board Member & Indigenous Advisory Circle senior member, Theresie Tungilik.

Résumé:
Ancrés de la mi-avril jusqu'au passage du dernier océanique à destination de l'Europe au début de décembre, les hommes d'équipage des bateaux-phares signalaient par leur présence des pièges mortels pour la navigation et ont consacré leur vie à préserver celle de leurs confrères qui avaient la chance de laisser derrière eux un sillage.Jean Cloutier et Jean-Pierre Charest livrent un ouvrage animé par un devoir de mémoire envers ces marins de l'immobile, totalement disparus de notre conscience collective. Le document se consacre à l'évolution de ces navires « qui n'allaient nulle part ». Il dévoile un aspect humain fascinant, animé par de savoureux entretiens avec les derniers survivants qui vécurent sur le lightship. Il offre une visite détaillée des postes de mouillage et des navires assignés qui parsemèrent notre fleuve majestueux depuis la Traverse-en-Haut jusqu'à la pointe Est de l'île d'Anticosti. Enrichi par une iconographique abondante, cet ouvrage est un hommage à ces acteurs oubliés.
