Résumé:
Comment réunir dans un nouveau lieu, l'histoire d'un continent et d'une idée ? Située à Bruxelles, dans le quartier européen, en plein cœur du parc Léopold, la Maison de l'histoire européenne a été inaugurée en 2017. Le concours portant sur la rénovation et l'extension d'un bâtiment historique en musée - ancien Institut dentaire George Eastman - a été remporté, en 2011, par les agences Chaix et Morel et Associés et JSWD Architekten. Sous la direction de Sophie Trelcat, l'ouvrage 'House of European History', conçu par les graphistes Baldinger et Vu-Huu, présente l'histoire du projet architectural, de sa conception à sa réalisation. / How can the history of a continent and an idea be brought together in a new place? In 2009 the European Parliament decided to create an institution dedicated to the history of Europe, an emblematic building located in the heart of the European Quarter in Brussels. The design, a transformation by the team of Chaix & Morel et Associés and JSWD Architekten of an Art Deco building from 1934, was finished in 2017. Their concept addressed how European history could find a spatially sensitive expression. This publication, authored by Sophie Trelcat and designed by Baldinger and Vu-Huu, presents the history of this seminal architectural project from conception to completion.

Résumé:
Faisant suite à une série d’expositions monographiques présentée entre 2008 et 2011 en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, cette publication propose un premier aperçu de l’œuvre multiforme de l’artiste austro-canadien Klaus Scherübel. Ancrée dans la tradition de l’art conceptuel, la pratique de Scherübel résiste à toute catégorisation facile. Son travail propose une investigation systématique de l’activité artistique mettant en question les frontières séparant les fonctions d’artiste, d’historien, de conservateur, d’éditeur, de commanditaire ou de spectateur. En utilisant une variété de stratégies esthétiques, ses entreprises artistiques reconsidèrent des œuvres, des concepts et des genres issues des arts visuels, de la littérature du cinéma et de la télévision. VOL. 13 documente et analyse quelques uns de ses projets les plus connus des vingt dernières années incluant la série Untitled (The Artist at Work) ainsi que ses projets de livre dédiés aux entreprises littéraires et conceptuels du poète français Stéphane Mallarmé et de l’écrivain fictif Jack Torrance tiré du film d’horreur The Shining. Il contient des essais de Jean-François Chevrier et de Patrice Loubier ainsi qu’une entrevue entre Helmut Draxler et l’artiste. Scherübel a personnellement pris en charge la conception de cet ouvrage, nous offrant tout autant une publication sur sa démarche autoréflexive qu’un prolongement de celle-ci.

Résumé:
In 2006, two artists fled the high cost of living in Vancouver and moved to a place where they knew absolutely nobody, Bruno, Saskatchewan, population 500. They set up a storefront building in which they housed their own unique brand of café / art shop / community centre / music venue called All Citizens from 2007-2011. McCarroll kept a blog called Going Rural of her travels and experiences moving and setting up shop. This blog (text and photographs) forms a significant chapter of the All Citizens art book and serves as an introduction to Saara Liinamaa’s essay on rural interventions. The documentation (in text, interviews, and photographs) of the artistic practice of three local senior women formed McCarroll’s MFA thesis project in the Documentary Media Program at Ryerson and constitutes another significant chapter. Cartoonist David Collier visits one of these women in Bruno and provides a comic essay in his own style. Also contributing is artist Jason McLean. But the heart of the All Citizens project was the store itself, a meeting place, shop, cultural centre, music venue and all things in between. It was the ultimate culmination of a DIY aesthetic forged onto a rural landscape. Includes Bonus CD: Daniel, Fred, and Julie: Live at All Citizens.

The first book to demystify the process of producing and publishing a book of photographs, ''Publish your photography book'' was first released in 2011 and subsequently sold out two editions. This highly anticipated third edition guides photo-based artists through the steps involved in publishing a book of their work. Industry insiders Darius D. Himes and Mary Virginia Swanson survey the current landscape of photography-book publishing and point out the many avenues to pursue and pitfalls to avoid. This updated, expert guide covers: a history of the photobook; an overview of the publishing industry; the process of bringing your project to book form (with both traditional publishing and self-publishing options); how to market a photography book (including a dialogue with collectors on the limited edition and artist-made books); case studies with published photographers; and valuable resources on production materials, publishing and marketing timelines. Filled with educational wisdom, the book features interviews and contributions from artists, agents, editors, designers, printers, publishers, distributors, booksellers, curators and librarians who share their experiences and provide advice about each step on the path to publication and placement. A removable workbook helps readers address book preparation, draft submission guidelines, production timelines and marketing plans.

Résumé:
The British-born artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) is one of the vanguards in the history of women artists and the history of Surrealism. The interests of this visionary—feminism, ecology, the arcane and the mystical, the interconnectedness of everything—are now shared by many. Challenging the conventions of her time, Carrington abandoned family, society, and England to embrace new experiences and forge a unique artistic style in Europe and the Americas. In this evocative illustrated biography, writer and journalist Joanna Moorhead traces her cousin’s footsteps, exploring the artist’s life, loves, friendships, and work. Leading readers on a personal journey across Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United States, and Mexico, ''Surreal spaces'' describes the places and experiences that would become etched in Carrington’s memory and be echoed, sometimes decades later, in her art and writing—whether her grandmother’s kitchen with its giant stove; a remote Cornish hideaway where she holidayed with Max Ernst, Lee Miller, and Man Ray; the Left Bank of Paris; an asylum in Santander, Spain; New York, where she lived among other European exiles; or Mexico City, her final sanctuary. 'Houses are really bodies,' Carrington wrote in her novella ''The Hearing Trumpet''. 'We connect ourselves with walls, roofs and objects just as we hang on to our livers, skeletons, flesh and blood streams.'

Résumé:
The city of Homs, like so many places in Syria, has suffered mass destruction since the war began in 2011. So far, the architectural response to the crisis has focused on ''cultural heritage'', ancient architecture, and the external displacement of refugees, often neglecting the everyday lives of Syrians and the buildings that make up their homes and communities. In ''Domicide'', Ammar Azzouz uses the notion of the 'home' to address the destruction in cities like Homs, the displacement of Syrian people both externally and internally, and to explore how cities can be rebuilt without causing further damage to the communities that live there. Drawing on interviews with those working in the built environment professions, both inside and outside of Syria, but also Syrians from other backgrounds who have become architects in their own way as they were forced to repair and rebuild their homes by themselves, Domicide offers fresh insight into the role of the architect during time of war, and explores how the future reconstruction of cities should mirror the wants and needs, the traditions and ways of living, of local communities. Focusing on Homs but offering a blueprint for other urban areas of conflict across Syria and the wider world, the book is essential reading for researchers in architecture, urban planning, heritage studies and conflict studies.

Résumé:
As Art Director for Muji since 2002, Japanese graphic designer Kenya Hara (born 1958) and his aesthetic of pared-back, beautifully functional objects has taken the world by (quiet) storm. With “Kenya Hara: Designing Japan”, the designer presents his vision of how his industry can contribute to the future of his country: a future founded on Hara’s unique philosophy of beauty as well as crowd-sourced wisdom from around the world. The book spans history, from the beginnings of professional Japanese design in the 16th century to the impact of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. But Hara's real focus is on the future. A master collaborator, meticulous organizer and globally conscious innovator, Hara draws on more than three decades of work in design and exhibition curating, as well his professional interactions with creators from many fields. “Designing Japan” offers a foundation course on the essence of Japanese aesthetics, while maintaining a practical approach to Japan’s circumstances and future possibilities. Hara reveals the methods by which designers in Japan work with government and industry, and considers how design can propose solutions for this island nation as its population ages, other nations take over manufacturing and technology develops. Illustrations and examples recognize successful problem-solving through design, proving that design is a living, changing industry that remains relevant not in spite of, but as a partner to, advancing technology.

Résumé:
''3+: Trois photographes montréalais+/ Three Montreal photographers'' est un catalogue d'une exposition rétrospective de photographies de trois photographes montréalais – Tom Gibson, Donigan Cumming et Michel Campeau – dont le travail a été collectionné et a fait l’objet d’écrits par le commissaire et critique Robert Graham. Leur travail est présenté en association avec plusieurs images, également issues de sa collection, de trois photographes d’ailleurs – Eadweard Muybridge (Britannique, 1830-1904), Miroslav Tichý (Tchécoslovaque, 1926-2011) et Martin Parr (Britannique, 1952- ). Dans son essai, Robert Graham expose son approche critique. Comme il l’a observé, les photographies en séries et en groupes révèlent, par la répétition et le motif, les intérêts sous-jacents de l’artiste, et la conjonction du dernier groupe de photographes met en relief certains aspects des trois premiers. Chaque artiste pratique une rhétorique qui nous aide à comprendre comment nous pensons à travers la photographie. En tant que commissaire de cette exposition, Graham s’est intéressé à la relation entre l’image et la connaissance, et à la façon dont l’une soutient l’autre d’une manière similaire à celle dont ce qu’il appelle métaphoriquement ''l’illustration' et la 'légende' sont liées. De cette manière, la photographie favorise un certain type de connaissance; en effet, les informations spatiales fournies par la photographie constituent une sorte de géographie à part entière, qui a été décrite comme 'l’œil de l’histoire'.
