Résumé:
Dick Higgins, founder of Something Else Press (1964-1974), created the Great Bear imprint to publish pamphlets that were quickly printed and easily disseminated, guaranteeing wide distribution and accessibility. Ranging in length from 16 to 32 pages, saddle-stitched and printed on varying color stock, these booklets showcased the work of some of the most innovative writers and artists across the twentieth century. All pamphlets have been out of print since their original publications in the 1960s. Thanks to the editorial initiative Primary Information from New York they are now available again, and the CCA bookstore carries all of them in stock.

Résumé:
This is the first book in a new annual series published by CCA Wattis Institute (San Francisco). Each book in the series is driven by a central question: what are we learning from artists today? This volume is informed by themes related to the work of Dodie Bellamy and revolves around questions related to contemporary forms of feminism and sexualities, the rebirth of the author, and ways in which vulnerability, perversion, vulgarity, and self-exposure can be forms of empowerment. The texts cover a broad array of styles, including memoir, theoretical essay, art historical analysis, poetry, and fiction. The visual elements are equally diverse, ranging from photographs to collage to drawing.

Résumé:
Gilles Clément confronts the homogenizing effects of globalization with the diversity of life. As a trained gardener, he places our current knowledge of plant utilization and ecology in the service of the "planetary garden," in which plant species from a tremendous variety of cultures are collected, composed, and carefully overseen in their development by the landscape designer. Clément has taken this approach, which was developed for private gardens, and worked with celebrated architects – most recently, Jean Nouvel – to apply it in his large city parks, including Parc Citroën, the park at the Grande Arche de La Défense, and the museum park at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. The high artistic caliber of his designs is attested by exhibitions and installations at the Canadian Centre for Architecture CCA in Montreal and the Centre Pompidou, where they stand beside the work of Daniel Buren, Nan Goldin, and others. Gilles Clément has been presenting his contribution to landscape architecture for decades in more than thirty publications and numerous lectures throughout the world. This is the first comprehensive English-language monograph on his work.

Résumé:
Gordon Matta-Clark has never been an easy artist to categorize or to explain. Although trained as an architect, he has been described as a sculptor, a photographer, an organizer of performances, and a writer of manifestos, but he is best known for "un-building" abandoned structures. In the brief span of his career, from 1968 to his early death in 1978, he created an(...)

Résumé:
Gordon Matta-Clark has never been an easy artist to categorize or to explain. Although trained as an architect, he has been described as a sculptor, a photographer, an organizer of performances, and a writer of manifestos, but he is best known for "un-building" abandoned structures. In the brief span of his career, from 1968 to his early death in 1978, he created an oeuvre that has made him an enduring cult figure. In 2002, when Matta-Clark’s widow, Jane Crawford, put his archive on deposit at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, it revealed a new voice in the ongoing discussion of artist/architect Matta-Clark’s work: his own. Gwendolyn Owens and Philip Ursprung’s careful selection and ordering of letters, interviews, statements, and the now-famous art cards from the CCA as well as other sources deepens our understanding of one of the most original thinkers of his generation. This publication creates a multidimensional portrait that provides an opportunity for readers to explore and enjoy the complexity and contradiction that was Gordon Matta-Clark.

Résumé:
This is the third book in the annual “A Series of Open Questions” published by CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts and Sternberg Press. Each book in the series includes newly commissioned writing as well a selection of perspectives, images, and references related to the Wattis’s year-long research seasons dedicated to single artists. Each book takes the work of a single artist as its point of departure and spirals outward from there to create an expansive and carefully edited ecosystem of ideas and voices. This third volume is informed by themes found in the work of Cecilia Vicuña, including ecofeminism, indigenous forms of knowledge, poetry and politics, dissolution and extinction, exile, dematerialization, regeneration, and environmental responsibility.

Résumé:
The documentary film "What It Takes to Make A Home" (2020, conceived by Giovanna Borasi of the CCA and directed by Daniel Schwartz) follows a conversation between two architects whose work addresses homelessness. Michael Maltzan in Los Angeles and Alexander Hagner in Vienna have both designed long-term housing, exploring and embodying various strategies for social integration, mental health, and inclusive architectural-urban schemes. Questions on Dwelling screened the film in full and held a conversation at feldfünf Berlin with actors engaged in homelessness in Berlin. In that conversation, they tried to address the successes and failures of the film, architecture’s role and complicity in exacerbating the financialization of housing, the criminalization of urban space, and its entanglement with the privatization of the city. The transcript of that conversation was documented in this bilingual booklet.

Résumé:
Au moment où s’engagent les travaux de restauration de la villa E.1027, maison de vacances en bord de mer conçue et réalisée à Roquebrune-Cap-Martin par Eileen Gray et Jean Badovici, il est apparu opportun de mettre à nouveau à la disposition du public le superbe porte-folio qui l’avait documentée et célébrée en 1929, l’année de sa livraison. La présente réédition du numéro spécial de la revue française d’avant-garde L’Architecture Vivante, (Éditions Albert Morancé, 1929, une copie se trouve dans la bibliothèque du CCA) attentive à préserver la qualité du document original, est augmentée de trois articles introductifs qui nous permettent de comprendre : - Les conditions de la redécouverte de cette icône dans les années 1970 (Jean-Paul Rayon) ; - Le contexte de sa conception et les motivations de Le Corbusier lorsqu’il appose ses peintures murales (Jean-Lucien Bonillo) ; - les choix techniques qui dérivent des contraintes du chantier (Pierre-Antoine Gatier). Attentive à préserver une dimension poétique et une éthique humaniste dans la conduite de son travail, Eileen Gray nous livre avec E.1027 un témoignage rare et précieux du rêve moderne de l’œuvre d’art totale.
