Des innombrables carnets d'expédition qui tapissent les étagères de son bureau à Montpellier, il a extrait un échantillon des spécimens les plus étonnants. De Codariocalyx motorius, la plante qui danse, aux Solanaceae d'Argentine, ces arbres souterrains dont on n'aperçoit qu'un tapis de feuilles au sol, leurs modes de développement et d'adaptation dépassent souvent notre compréhension pour enchanter notre imagination. Exubérantes, énigmatiques, dotées d'aptitudes surprenantes, les merveilles végétales présentées dans ce cabinet de curiosités inattendu plaident en faveur de la sauvegarde des forêts tropicales aujourd'hui gravement menacées.

Résumé:
The chairs in this private collection are not an assembly of objects of everyday use. They are a congregation of creatures often eluding their primary purpose as seating. Metaphorically exaggerated height and disassociation transform the chairs into individuals, or sculptures exploring the uncertain boundaries of physics.

Metaphorically exaggerated height and disassociation transform the chairs into individuals, or sculptures exploring the uncertain boundaries of physics. The book’s generous layout allows readers to immerse themselves in this cabinet of curiosities and give their imagination free rein. Nicolas Polli and Jean Vincent Simonet use their photographic essays to interpret the exhibits originating from well-known artists and designers. The texts illustrate the collection in terms of the friction between art and design. They explain the collection’s significance in the life of the collector, and they discuss the general motives that lead to a passion for collecting.

This illustrated volume presents historic wood houses - castles, cottages, stately homes, rectories, seaside bathing huts, barns and sawmills - from the seventeenth century to the present. Also shown in detail are wooden churches and even entire towns built of wood. Among the buildings featured are a farmhouse on the Sorby country estate dating from the second half of the seventeenth century; the childhood home and the adult estate, Hammarby, of the influential botanist LLinnaeus (complete with lecture pulpit and specimen collection cabinet): and Gunnebo, a lavish wooden interpretation of an Italian villa built for wealthy merchant John Hall. With photographs by Ingalill Snitt.

Author Brian Dillon, UK editor of Cabinet magazine, based it on research into St. Peter's Seminary, a college complex commissioned by the Catholic Church in the 1950s, completed in 1968, and abandoned by 1980. On the outskirts of Glasgow - itself a city with a vexed relationship to Le Corbusier-esque modernism - the building is rich with histories: of its architects, its residing student priests, the drug addicts it once housed and treated, and the local teenagers for whom it is a kind of Gothic recreation center. This book takes the material remains of modernism and treats them from a literary point of view.

Résumé:
The Madrid-based studio Gutiérrez-delaFuente Arquitectos (GdlF) takes on a paradoxical challenge: in an almost entirely built urban landscape, they care for the unbuilt environment. Instead of focusing only on new architecture, the team led by Natalia Gutiérrez and Julio de la Fuente adapts existing spaces, revealing their hidden potential. Their approach – working with the already-there – understands the unbuilt as a crucial component of an ecological transformation. The exhibition at Aedes, curated by Kaye Geipel and Gutiérrez-delaFuente Arquitectos, presents sustainable strategies for improving in-between spaces through selected projects in Germany, Belgium, Spain, the UK and Switzerland. A central element is the film installation European Encounter Cabinet, in which international experts close to the studio share their perspectives on the future of architecture and urban planning in European cities and territories.

To the bureaucrat, archives contain little more than garbage, paperwork no longer needed; to the historian, on the other hand, the archive’s content stands as a quasi-objective correlative of the “living” past. Twentieth-century art made use of the archive in a variety of ways—from what Spieker calls Marcel Duchamp’s “anemic archive” of readymades and El Lissitzky’s Demonstration Rooms to the compilations of photographs made by such postwar artists as Susan Hiller and Gerhard Richter. In "The big archive", Sven Spieker investigates the archive—as both bureaucratic institution and index of evolving attitudes toward contingent time in science and art—and finds it to be a crucible of twentieth-century modernism.

He has created a body of work that playfully presents art as scientific enquiry or field work, questioning how knowledge is gathered, classified and displayed. Five installations will be displayed at Whitechapel Gallery: a scholar’s study invites us to unravel intricate drawings and models; the "Bureau for the Centre of the Study for Surrealism and its Legacy" displays the strange magic of obsolete things; the muddy banks of the Thames have also yielded their treasures for poetic display in a gigantic cabinet; while a Dickensian Curiosity Shop tempts us with the bizarre aura of American bric-a-brac. Each immersive environment is also a habitat, evoking the characters that observe, conserve or exploit the natural world.

This richly illustrated volume traces over two decades of Kessels’s artistic, editorial, and photographic explorations. Internationally known for his work with vernacular photography and visual storytelling, Kessels has crafted a body of work that captures the human, the everyday, and the absurd - one book at a time. The publication includes a new text by critic and curator Francesco Zanot, structured as a series of concise reflections - one for each book - offering a fragmented yet cohesive insight into Kessels’s evolving visual language. Designed by Cabinet Milano, the book features a modular layout that integrates video stills made in collaboration with Riccardo Ruffolo and Enrico Zanetti, also part of the accompanying exhibition.

In a lyrical article, Gert Staal explores the sentimental and symbolical significance of coins. The results of a workshop ‘Design by the mm3’, in which eleven artist/designers took part, is discussed in an article by Lilet Breddels and presented in numerous illustrations. Gerard Unger subverts his own specialization in typography by arguing that artists are perfectly capable of creating their own lettering for coin designs. Hans Jacobi, keeper of the Koninklijke Penningen Kabinet (Royal Coins Cabinet) in Leiden, throws light on the vicissitudes of Dutch coin design during the last twenty years. In an epilogue, Janwillem Schrofer, a member of the Advisory Commission for New Coinage and the president of the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, presents his outlook on the importance of good coin design.
