Résumé:
This book celebrates art and culture within and beyond traditional Inuit and Sámi homelands in the Circumpolar Arctic — from the continuance of longstanding practices such as storytelling and skin sewing to the development of innovative new art forms such as throatboxing (a hybrid of traditional Inuit throat singing and beatboxing). In this illuminating publication, curators, scholars, artists, and activists from Inuit Nunangat, Kalaallit Nunaat, Sápmi, Canada, and Scandinavia address topics as diverse as Sámi rematriation and the revival of the ládjogahpir (a Sámi woman’s headgear), the experience of bringing Inuit stone carving to a workshop for inner-city youth, and the decolonizing potential of Traditional Knowledge and its role in contemporary design and beyond.

Résumé:
"Zerox machine" is an immersive journey through the vibrant history of British punk and its associated fanzines from 1976 to 1988. Drawing on an extensive range of previously unpublished materials sourced from private collections across the United Kingdom, Matthew Worley describes and analyzes this transformative era, providing an intimate glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped a generation.

Résumé:
Georgina Masson is the literary pseudonym of Marion Johnson (1912-1980). An English citizen, Johnson was born in the Far East and lived and traveled in her youth throughout Africa, Europe and Asia. She settled in Rome in the early 1940s and remained in Italy until her return to England in 1978. A photographer and historian of architecture from ancient Rome to medieval Sicily, Masson was a profound and passionate connoisseur of Rome. In Rome, she assiduously frequented the American Academy, to which she bequeathed her legacy of a lifetime of negatives. A veritable treasure trove, the photographs stem from the 1950s through the 70s--a selection of them is reproduced here. With essays by Milton Gendel, Marella Caracciolo, Elizabeth Minchilli and Carolina Vincenti.

Résumé:
The German architect Rudolf Schwarz (1897–1961) numbers among the leading masters of church architecture in the twentieth century. Inspired by the Catholic Youth Movement, Schwarz designed more than forty religious buildings after 1924 and played an integral role in Cologne’s reconstruction in the aftermath of World War II. In addition, he made a name for himself as the author of fundamental texts on sacred architecture. Praised by Mies van der Rohe as “designed order full of meaning,” Schwarz’s architecture was intended to house religious contemplation. He became famous for his vast, light-filled spaces, minimalist in form yet overflowing with symbolism. This volume documents Schwarz’s transformative sacred buildings in Germany and Austria alongside his collaborations with visual artists such as Ewald Mataré and Georg Meistermann.

Résumé:
"Moscow: a guide to Soviet modernist architecture 1955-1991" provides descriptions of almost 100 buildings from the most underrated period of Soviet architecture. This is the first guide to bring together the architecture made during the three decades between Khrushchev and Gorbachev, from the naive modernism of the "thaw" of the late 1950s through postmodernism. Buildings include the Palace of Youth, the Rossiya cinema, the Pioneer Palace, the Ostankino TV Tower, the TASS headquarters, the "golden brains" of the Academy of Sciences and less well-known structures such as the House of New Life and the Lenin Komsomol Automobile Plant Museum. The authors situate Moscow's postwar architecture within the historical and political context of the Soviet Union, while also referencing developments in international architecture of the period.

Résumé:
Venice represented John Ruskin’s ideal of civic society—“The Paradise of Cities,” where culture, government, and faith existed in creative harmony. Robert Hewison traces Ruskin’s long and intricate relationship with the city. He shows how Ruskin shed his earlier Romantic vision of the city and developed a harder, clearer conception of neglected Gothic Venice through an intense study of the city's physical fabric that would change the international understanding of the city. Drawing on the rich resources of Ruskin’s drawings, architectural notebooks, and manuscripts, Hewison offers insights into both Ruskin and nineteenth-century Venice and reveals how Ruskin’s work and his connection with the city from youth to old age have helped to shape the image of the Venice we know today.

Brian Eno, Johnny Rotten, The Orb, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Radiohead ou encore Primal Scream ont puisé leur inspiration dans la musique de ce groupe novateur qui a su créer son propre univers sonore. Chacun des membres du groupe amène une personnalité très riche mêlant rock psychédélique, soul, avant-garde et rythmes du monde. La composition instantanée permet à chacun des musiciens d’amener sa signature musicale à ce son si particulier qu’ils obtiennent par leur maîtrise des techniques de studio. Esthète d’art-rock, Éric Deshayes analyse la discographie de Can, son parcours sur les scènes d’Europe et son impact dans le monde de la musique. Il replace ainsi dans leur contexte d’enregistrement les albums cultes d’un des groupes essentiels de la scène krautrock.

Résumé:
Flyers are a highly original expression of urban youth culture. These flyers directly reflect the contemporary Zeitgeist of a generation as it experiments with its multi-disciplinary content and graphics. Since 1998, Soziotope has been dedicated to the collection and exhibition of recent and historic designs and texts illuminating this cultural phenomenon. This particular catalogue illustrates the entire spectrum of this media-culture, from the genre's inception to its dissemination among a wide variety of social, economic and media-specific agents. Both the origins of this propaganda medium and its imagined future are presented in this 608 page compendium, which covers a quarter century of examples from German, Europe and abroad. More than a dozen authors take a scientific and entertaining look at this impressive body of work.
