Résumé:
Si notre monde ressemble à ce qu’il est, si les choses se maintiennent les unes aux autres sans tomber, c’est grâce à des principes simples et universels. Qu’il s’agisse d’une cathédrale plusieurs fois centenaire, de votre habitation, d’un avion, d’un bateau, d’un kangourou, d’une coquille d’œuf ou de vos propres articulations, tout n’est au fond qu’histoire de structures. Comprendre comment elles fonctionnent, c’est comprendre l’organisation du monde, rien de moins (et construire ensuite ce que bon vous semble, comme des fusées, par exemple). Affaire de spécialistes que tout cela? Absolument pas! J.E. Gordon le démontre dans ce livre plein d’esprit, sans simplification ni jargon excessifs: comprendre une structure est un jeu d’enfant pour qui sait observer. Il est même probable qu’après avoir lu des chapitres comme «l’avantage d’être une poutre» ou «comment concevoir une vis», vous serez très tentés de vous lancer dans la construction de votre propre plancher, d’une catapulte ou d’un pont suspendu.

Résumé:
Encyclopaedic in form, Marina Roy’s ''Queuejumping'' eloquently unspools manifestations of capitalist, colonialist, agrologic, and scientific impulses, all within the context of the letter Q. Roy enlists art writing, poetry, lists, found images, and essays on humankind’s hunger to supersede the Other (in order to uphold what she calls ''the vertically directed world'') in this artfully academic work. From queens, queers, quadrupeds, and the Quran, to quick, quiddity, and quotidian, and from millions of years of organic decay to contemplating contemporary art, dive into the origins of hegemonic forces, what is lost by winning, and what can be gained by stepping out of line.

Résumé:
Format Photographers launched in 1983. It was, uniquely, an agency run by women photographers, for women photographers. It closed in 2003. "From its beginning, the Format ethos and working practice were based on three key principles. The agency aimed to encourage its members to develop their creativity and careers, while remaining sensitive to the context in which their images were used and distributed. It portrayed people and issues that were under-represented in the mainstream media of the time. By photographing women and men in non-traditional roles, its members aimed to break down gender stereotypes, and changed the way women and other marginalised groups were seen."

Résumé:
In the south of Iceland is Landbrot, a place closer to fairy tales than to science-- indeed, a place easy to imagine as the singular source of fairies and elves worldwide. It is easy, too, to imagine the sensual comfort and satisfaction to be found there. "Mother, wonder" is the eleventh book in Roni Horn’s (born 1955) ongoing series "To Place," which she initiated in 1989 and exists only in book form. All the volumes focus on Iceland and the evolving experiences of the artist there; together they form a flowing dialogue addressing the relationship between identity and place. The titles to date in the coveted "To Place" encyclopedia are "Bluff Life" (1990), "Folds" (1991), "Lava" (1992), "Pooling Waters" (1994), "Verne’s Journey" (1995), "Haraldsdóttir" (1996), "Arctic Circles" (1998), "Becoming a Landscape" (2001), "Doubt Box" (2006) and "Haraldsdóttir, Part Two" (2011).

Résumé:
''Everyone has a story about the weather. This may be the single thing each of us holds in common. And though the weather varies greatly from here to there, it is, ultimately, one weather that we share. Small talk everywhere has occasioned the popular distribution of the weather. Some say talking about the weather is talking about oneself. And with each passing day, the weather increasingly becomes ours, if not us. 'Weather reports you' is one beginning of a collective self-portrait,'' writes Roni Horn, ''a metaphor for the physical, metaphysical, political, social and moral energy of a person and a place''. This book is a new edition of the original ''Weather reports you'' of 2007, a gathering of oral reports on the weather made on location in Iceland, accompanied by snapshots taken at the time and place of each interview.
