Free City is storyteller João Almino's third novel to focus on the city of Brasilia, the social swirl of its early years, when contractors, corporate profiteers, idealists, politicians, mystical sects, and even celebrities mingled. Putting past and present into direct conflict, the story takes the form of a blog, even incorporating comments from other bloggers, each with their vested interests, each with new reasons for spinning fictions of their own.

Résumé:
« Françoise Sullivan. Une ligne imaginaire / An Imaginary Line prend le relais du catalogue d’exposition Françoise Sullivan. Trajectoires resplendissantes / Radiant Trajectories (Galerie de l’UQAM, 2017) pour fédérer les connaissances récemment mises à jour et les contextualiser dans le sens d’une interaction plus définie entre le développement de la pensée de l’artiste et son corpus des années 1970. Tel un récit qui s’incarne dans les lieux où a vécu Sullivan, en particulier l’Italie, l’ouvrage s’intéresse particulièrement à son travail lié à l’art conceptuel et ancré dans la photographie, le film et les actions performatives. »

Arcana II is the second in a groundbreaking series of volumes presented by John Zorn answering a continuing need for critical attention toward avant-garde and experimental music.

Résumé:
If architecture fails, if it is pedestrian and lacks imagination and power, it tells only one story, that of its own making: how it was built, detailed, financed. But a great building, like great literature or poetry or music, can tell the story of the human soul. It can make us see the world in a wholly new way, change it forever. It can awaken our desires, propose(...)

Résumé:
If architecture fails, if it is pedestrian and lacks imagination and power, it tells only one story, that of its own making: how it was built, detailed, financed. But a great building, like great literature or poetry or music, can tell the story of the human soul. It can make us see the world in a wholly new way, change it forever. It can awaken our desires, propose imaginary trajectories, and say to a child who has seen little or been nowhere, hey, the world can be very different from what you ever imagined.

This book shows how night redefines the framework of thought and action in the realm of the imaginary, of territorial planning and of the practice of landscape, the aim being to arrive at a contemporary urbanism based on perceptual experience. The book is structured in three parts: the first covers the originality and value of the experience of the nocturnal landscape for thought and creativity, the second defines infrastructure as the nocturnal landscape’s real scale and strategy, while the third illustrates examples of nocturnal contemporary architecture and landscape.

Résumé:
More just spatial practices are to be found in the diversity and nuances of myriad space-making paradigms that tackle local challenges while providing credible responses to current global issues. This book proposes a collection of spatial protocols following an imaginary line: the 45°N parallel. This line crosses Europe, from the Atlantic Coast to the Black Sea. The practices are named rituals because they strengthen the potential for collective action in order to reach systemic change. They are labeled radical because they are highly transformative and point toward possible futures.

Résumé:
Düsseldorf-based artist Thomas Schütte first came to prominence in the 1980s with his drawings, watercolors, stage sets and architectural models. Schütte’s first forays into imaginary or utopian architecture were scale models of rooms in which one might live and work. After a gap of 20 years, Schütte returned to the architectural model, producing light pavilions out of wood and studio leftovers, as well as commercial and public buildings. Houses provides a comprehensive survey of Schütte’s architectural models, from his early experiments through to his current design projects.

Résumé:
This issue expands on codes as ethical, social, political, and legal boundaries—considering them as sets of visible and invisible instructions moving within and beyond the digital imaginary. Through features, interviews, and experimental texts, artists and writers probe how developments in AI and coding are products of existing mechanics of the world, and how else codes are constituted. From programming languages as poetry to paranormal readings with the land against settler ideas of an inanimate wilderness, contributors ask how the material consequences of an array of codes might be re-inscribed to understand or lay form to (alternate) conditions of life.
