Résumé:
« Paysages sismiques » nous invite à pénétrer au coeur de la matière, et plus particulièrement dans le manteau terrestre, pour découvrir ce qui se passe lors d’un séisme : fusion, dilatation, fragmentation, explosion, sous l’effet de la chaleur les roches se métamorphosent et révèlent leurs mystères, invisibles à l’oeil nu. Ce projet est le fruit d’une collaboration entre le photographe Thomas Gizolme et le chercheur en géophysique Alexandre Schubnel, directeur du Laboratoire de géologie de l’École normale supérieure, à Paris. Au sein de ce laboratoire, les chercheurs ont créé deux machines : une qui reproduit les séismes afin de tenter de comprendre leurs mécanismes et d’anticiper leurs développements, et une seconde qui réalise des images de la matière en fusion. Ces dernières donnent à voir les roches qui se liquéfient et dessinent une géographie géologique fascinante. Thomas Gizolme s’est emparé de ce corpus photographique pour composer un ouvrage où le merveilleux se mêle au scientifique : le lecteur peut alors découvrir les paysages insoupçonnés situés à des centaines de kilomètres sous nos pieds.

A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom - are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance.

Résumé:
A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom - are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance. They play a decisive role in human flourishing and, for hundreds of years, their walls and walkways, windows and doorways have guided our relationships with others and with ourselves. They reflect and reinforce social inequalities; they allow us to celebrate and cherish those we love. They are the places of return that allow us to venture out into the world. In this intimate, elegantly argued account, Coccia shows how the architecture of home has shaped, and continues to shape, our psyches and our societies, before then masterfully leading us towards a more creative, ecological way of dwelling in the world.

Résumé:
The iconic architecture of the brutalist modernist megastructure of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada built by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960s is the site of the artistic research project into the history of this "radical campus" and its built environment by Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The collaborative research group, "Guests and Hosts", formed by Bitter & Weber and Métis scholar June Scudeler including Métis scholar and student Treena Chambers, Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk student Toni-Leah Yake, as well as Rachel Warwick and Hannah Campbell, has challenged the narrative of the radical campus, so called because it was informed by experimental concepts of learning and teaching. Using the spaces of a settler colonial institution, the project shifts perspectives by unsettling and challenging western- based concepts of pedagogy and knowledge. Combining archival photographic material, architectural photographs by the artists, and interventions into the institutional spaces by Guests and Hosts, the project performs the claim for places rather than spaces for Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.
