Résumé:
The relationship between the body and electronic technology, extensively theorized through the 1980s and 1990s, has reached a new technosensual comfort zone in the early twenty-first century. In "Sensorium", contemporary artists and writers explore the implications of the techno-human interface. Ten artists, chosen by an international team of curators, offer their own edgy investigations of embodied technology and the technologized body. These range from Matthieu Briand's experiment in "controlled schizophrenia" and Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller's uneasy psychological soundscapes to Bruce Nauman's uncanny night visions and François Roche's destabilized architecture. The art in "Sensorium" - which accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center - captures the aesthetic attitude of this hybrid moment, when modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical essay by a curator, all of it prefaced by an anchoring essay on "The Mediated Sensorium" by Caroline Jones. In the second half of "Sensorium", scholars, scientists, and writers contribute entries to an "Abecedarius of the New Sensorium." These short, playful pieces include Bruno Latour on "Air," Barbara Maria Stafford on "Hedonics," Michel Foucault (from a little-known 1966 radio lecture) on the "Utopian Body," Donna Haraway on "Compoundings," and Neal Stephenson on the "Viral." Sensorium is both forensic and diagnostic, viewing the culture of the technologized body from the inside, by means of contemporary artists' provocations, and from a distance, in essays that situate it historically and intellectually.

Résumé:
During the economic boom of the 1990's, art museums expanded dramatically in size, scope, and ambition. They came to be seen as new civic centers : on the one hand as places of entertainment, leisure, and commerce, on the other as socially therapeutic institutions. But museums were also criticized for everything from elitism to looting or illegally exporting works from other countries, to exhibiting works offensive to the public taste. "Whose Muse?" brings together five directors of leading American and British art museums who together offer a forward-looking alternative to such prevailing views. While their approaches differ, certain themes recur : as museums have become increasingly complex and costly to manage, and as government support has waned, the temptation is great to follow policies driven not by a mission but by the market. However, the directors concur that public trust can be upheld only if museums continue to see their core mission as building collections that reflect a nation's artistic legacy and providing informed and unfettered access to them. The book, based on a lecture series of the same title held in 2000-2001 by the Harvard Program for Art Museum Directors, also includes an introduction by Cuno and a fascinating - and surprisingly frank - roundtable discussion among the participating directors. A rare collection of sustained reflections by prominent museum directors on the current state of affairs in their profession, this book is without equal. It will be read widely not only by museum professionals, trustees, critics, and scholars, but also by the art-loving public itself.

Résumé:
The internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo is known to be a courageous architect. His major works include the Houston Museum of Fine Art, Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College, the Stockholm Museum of Modern Art and Architecture, and the Potzdammer Platz Hotel in Berlin. Now Moneo will be known as a daring critic as well. In this book he looks at eight of his contemporaries -- all architects of international stature -- and discusses the theoretical positions, technical innovations, and design contributions of each. Moneo's discussion of these eight architects -- James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, Alvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and the partnership of Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Meuron -- has the colloquial, engaging tone of a series of lectures on modern architecture by a master architect; the reader hears not the dispassionate theorizing of an academic, but Moneo's own deeply held convictions as he considers the work of his contemporaries. Discussing each of the eight architects in turn, Moneo first gives an introductory profile, emphasizing intentions, theoretical concerns, and construction procedures. He then turns to the work, offering detailed critical analyses of the works he considers to be crucial for an informed understanding of this architect's work. The many images he uses to illustrate his points resemble the rapid-fire flash of slides in a lecture, but Moneo's perspective is unique among lecturers. These profiles are not what Moneo calls the "tacit treatises" that can be found on the shelves of a university library, but lively encounters of architectural equals. More than 500 illustrations accompany the text.

Résumé:
L'ouvrage présente un travail autour de l'exposition Offrir des Fleurs dans le cadre de la Bourse Agora du Curateur (Agora du Design). Ceci n'est pas un catalogue. Cet ouvrage est pensé comme un outil de lecture, une continuité avec l'exposition. Cette base de données est une proposition curatoriale, axée sur une recherche rassemblant des témoignages, des textes, des entretiens, des photographies et des objets. Et si offrir des fleurs permettait de parler de design autrement ? Cette exploration curatoriale met en avant un format d'exposition capable de recevoir un contenu sensible, celui de témoignages (tmg.) relatant cette action. Du point de vue du donneur ou du receveur, ce contenu est le centre de notre attention. Ces derniers forment le noyau dur de l'exposition et de ce catalogue. À travers cette récolte variée, nous pouvons déchiffrer des systématismes, regroupés. Le panel d'acteurs est le plus large possible : classes sociales, cultures et professions confondues, interrogé entre décembre 2020 et mars 2021. Nous l'avons complété d'une recherche de contenus et d'objets relatant une dimension affective et d'échange représentant la fleur ou sa production (obj. – timbres, cartes et monnaie), ainsi qu'un reportage photographique (img. – photographies) et d'un ensemble de textes et d'entretiens (txt. – entretiens et commandes), auprès de producteurs, transformateurs de la fleur, mais aussi de curateurs et de designers. Un travail de retranscriptions met en corrélation des moments / histoires communes et leurs différences. Cette récolte permet de constituer des sujets (suj.) emboîtés où chacun des éléments de cette base de données prennent sens. Cette réponse curatoriale se veut être non circonscrite, ouverte et surtout non exhaustive.

Résumé:
Comprendre un chef-d'oeuvre architectural : depuis la parution de l'ouvrage de référence de Simone Balayé, l'évolution de cette parcelle délimitée par les rues de Richelieu, Colbert, Vivienne et des Petits-Champs, le "quadrilatère Richelieu", n'avait pas fait l'objet d'une analyse approfondie. La rénovation du site historique de la Bibliothèque nationale, engagée depuis plusieurs années, a entraîné le classement et la numérisation du fonds de l'Agence des travaux et suscité de nouvelles études sur cet ensemble historique complexe, marqué par la construction par Mazarin d'un palais pour ses collections, l'installation progressive de la Bibliothèque royale à partir de 1721, la transformation du site par Henri Labrouste, son achèvement par Jean-Louis Pascal puis Alfred Recoura, et enfin la densification opérée par Michel Roux-Spitz. Accéder au patrimoine de la Nation : à l'occasion de la réouverture fin 2016 de la salle Labrouste, salle de lecture historique de la Bibliothèque nationale, magnifiquement rénovée, il était nécessaire de proposer la synthèse des recherches récentes, en mettant en regard le geste architectural avec les enjeux bibliothéconomiques. La parole est donnée aux responsables des trois institutions qui occuperont le site (BNF, INHA et Ecole des chartes) ainsi qu'aux architectes du projet de rénovation, qui prévoit une plus grande ouverture du site au public. Retrouver l'esprit des lieux : 200 images constitueront une chronique visuelle et habitée du Quadrilatère et proposeront de nouveaux outils de compréhension (plans de reconstitution, schémas d'implantation, 3D). Des annexes (description des sources, bibliographie, chronologie, nomenclature des lieux, index) complèteront cet ouvrage, publié en coédition avec l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art.
