Résumé:
Créée par la Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, l'exposition Terre Natale, Ailleurs commence ici propose un dialogue entre le cinéaste Raymond Depardon et le philosophe Paul Virilio sur le rapport au natal, à l'enracinement et au déracinement, à une époque où les flux migratoires humains ont atteint une échelle sans précédent. Dans son film Donner la parole, réalisé avec Claudine Nougaret, Raymond Depardon laisse s'exprimer ceux qui, menacés de devoir partir, veulent demeurer sur leur terre. Les artistes et architectes Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Mark Hansen, Laura Kurgan et Ben Rubin donnent forme aux concepts de Paul Virilio avec la création d'une cartographie dynamique qui rend compte des migrations environnementales, politiques et économiques. Publiés pour la première fois dans le catalogue Terre Natale (prix Nomad's 2009), les textes présentés ici permettent d'explorer les problématiques soulevées dans l'exposition. Accompagnés de vues d'exposition, ils constituent un véritable outil de réflexion sur les notions de nomadisme et de sédentarité, ainsi que sur les questions identitaires qui leur sont attachées.

Résumé:
A beloved cult classic of surrealism, pataphysics and Gurdjieffian mysticism, René Daumal’s ''Mount Analogue'' is the allegorical tale of an expedition to a mountain whose existence can only be deduced, not observed. As its numerous editions (most now rare) over the decades attest, the book has been highly influential: Alejandro Jodorowsky's visionary 1973 film ''The Holy Mountain'' is a loose adaptation of the book, and John Zorn based an eponymous album on it. Left unfinished after Daumal’s death from tuberculosis in 1944—in mid-sentence, as he broke from writing to receive a visitor—''Mount Analogue'' offers a compelling and philosophically resonant chronicle of a group of travelers seeking the titular mountain, based on the symbolic calculations of one Father Sogol (“Logos” spelled backward) and his students. As Daumal writes, “ 'Mount Analogue' is the symbolic mountain—the way that unites Heaven and Earth, a way which must exist in material and human form, otherwise our situation would be without hope.”

Résumé:
''Time, Forward!'' questions the notion and function of time and how it relates to the way we create and interact with art in the 21st century. Featuring newly commissioned works by an international group of artists, this book illuminates a broad range of responses to an exponentially accelerating world. This volume features a speculation on the future of the senses by Haroon Mirza, an unorthodox history of modernity by Walid Raad, and stills from a science fiction film by Rosa Barba. Essays from scholars, critics, poets, and filmmakers probe issues as diverse as the role of sleep in a 24/7 capitalist society and artistic privacy and appropriation in cyberspace. Some of these artists ask us to press the pause button, others take us back in time, and still others push us forward into the realm of science fiction--only to reveal these fictions to be a form of everyday present reality.

Résumé:
Rufus est une chauve-souris pas comme les autres. Depuis qu’il a vu, un soir, un film en Technicolor au cinéma en plein air, puis, au petit matin, le lever du soleil orange et rose, il a décidé de changer d’existence. Vivre le jour, peindre ses ailes noires aux couleurs des papillons ! Pris de peur en voyant tourbillonner ce volatile bizarre, des gens lui tirent dessus à coups de fusil. Rufus tombe, mais, par chance, c’est dans le jardin d’un homme formidable… C’est dans les années soixante que Tomi Ungerer entreprend, à NewYork, une série d’albums en l’honneur des animaux jusque-là mal aimés ou carrément absents des livres pour les enfants : un boa constrictor, Crictor ; une pieuvre, Émile ; un vautour, Orlando ; un kangourou, Adélaïde ; et une chauve-souris, Rufus, que voici, pour la première fois en français. Ils font mentir leur réputation, incarnent le bien, sauvent des vies, se révèlent plus humains que les humains qui les avaient d’abord rejetés. Originalement publié en 1961

Résumé:
Fragments of Wilderness City reviews the work of renowned architect Brian Avery. This publication presents perspectives from academics and architecture historians, exploring projects in India and the Middle East; major cultural commissions such as the National Film Theatre, the Museum of the Moving Image, London Transport Museum, and the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts' headquarters in Bloomsbury, London; masterplanning work for Oxford Street in London, The Horniman Museum, and the Avenue of the Emirates in Abu Dhabi. Alongside profiles of their innovative work in product design and within the workplace is an essay by director Bryan Avery, providing insights into his notion of the sustainable 'wilderness city'. This manifesto sets out a vision of an accountable architectural and planning approach to the contemporary city, situated in a natural landscape and taking on board references to both the walled cities of the medieval period and the self-contained urban environments of the twentieth century 'new towns'.

Résumé:
Nightclubs and discothèques are hotbeds of contemporary culture. Since the 20th century, they have been centers of the avant-garde that question the established codes of social life and experiment with different realities, merging interior and furniture design, graphics and art with sound, light, fashion and special effects to create a modern Gesamtkunstwerk. "Night Fever: Designing Club Culture 1960-Today" is the first book to examine the design history of the nightclub, with examples ranging from the Italian clubs of the 1960s created by members of the Radical Design group and the legendary Studio 54 where Andy Warhol was a regular; to the Palladium in New York designed by Arata Isozaki and the more recent concepts by architecture firm OMA for a new Ministry of Sound in London. Featuring film stills and vintage photographs, posters, flyers and fashion, "Night Fever" takes the reader on a fascinating journey through a world of glamour, subculture and the search for the night that never ends.

Résumé:
This in-depth look at six postwar photographers, alongwith a selection of their predecessors and contemporaries, captures a unique and pivotal moment in American photographic history. World War II and its aftermath ushered in a new era of artistic expression. Abstract Expressionism, film noir, Beat poetry, and the New Journalism are often considered responses to war's shocking realities. Creative photographers responded to the same situation with images that broke the rules of conventional photographic technique. This publication, a companion volume to an exhibition, highlights six photographers who were prominent during and immediately following the war. Lisette Model's unflinching look at the urban environment; Louis Faurer's portraits of eccentrics in Times Square; Ted Croner's haunting night images; Saul Leiter's evocative glimpses of daily life; William Klein's graphic, confrontational style; and Robert Frank's documentation of American ideals gone awry-these and other beautifully reproduced photographs communicate the emotional resonance of everyday life in postwar America.

Résumé:
A richly illustrated monograph dedicated to one of the most attractive and influential figures of contemporary creation. Loie Fuller was one of the leading and most influential figures of the twentieth-century art scene. Her persona, choreographies, and technical innovations have exerted a strong influence on the conceptual theories and achievements of choreographers, producers, theater and film directors, painters, sculptors, architects, and other performance artists of our times. Loie Fuller played a decisive role in the art nouveau movement, she was the muse who inspired the Electricity Pavilion in 1900, and she orchestrated the first shows, in the contemporary sense of the word, in France. Through a number of photographs, paintings, sculptures, and documents, this volume attempts to unravel the various strands of her extravagant life, to chart her dedication to the performance arts, and to demonstrate her incredible technical inventiveness-in short, to provide an insight into one of the most attractive and influential figures of contemporary creation.

Résumé:
Artists have utilized walking as an autonomous form of art, a subject in their work, and as social practice since the early 20th century. Today walking continues to offer a salient means for artists to challenge social, political, and economic orders through a radical remapping of civic space. In this book, Lexi Lee Sullivan traces the history of walking as an aesthetic action from the Dadaists to contemporary ramblers. Titled after Michelangelo Pistoletto’s performance Walking Sculpture, the catalogue features 50 color illustrations ranging from photographs of Yvonne Rainer’s street actions to Francis Alÿs’s fantastical processions, poems by Cole Swensen, and a new project by artist Helen Mirra, who produces poetic meditations on landscape, ecology, and locomotion. Sculpture, film, video, photography, and performance converge to address the multi-disciplinary practice of ambulation through the cityscape and the countryside. For those who hike; march in fundraisers, protests, or parades; walk the dog; stroll in the park; or commute daily, this catalogue will invite new thought into basic human movement.
