Résumé:
"The paper sculpture book" is published on the occasion of the traveling exhibition "The paper sculpture show", organized by Cabinet magazine, Independant Curators International (ICI), and SculptureCenter, and curated by ICI. Artworks meant to be cut out by the reader and assembled using very basic materials such as tape and rubber bands have been designed by 29 established and emerging contemporary artists, including The Art Guys, Minerva Cuevas, Seong Chun, Nicole Eisenman, Spencer Finch, Rachel Harrison, Stephen Hendee, Patrick Killoran, Glenn Ligon, Helen Mirra, David Shrigley, Sarah Sze, Chris Ware and Allan Wexler. Fred Tomaselli merges images from a birding book and an outdoor-clothing catalogue to create an ironic yet beautiful aviary. Janine Antoni's Crumple provides precise instructions for recreating a crumpled ball of paper, while Luca Buvoli invites the reader to take a pop-up flying lesson from the mysterious Professor M.a.S.

Résumé:
Périphériques’ frequent participation in the international ArchiLab exhibition in Orléans and their contribution to the Architecture Biennale 2002 in Venice are sure signs of the national and international recognition which they are receiving. In 2000, Birkhäuser first published an overview of their architectural work entitled M.I.N.N.E.S.O.T.A. now out of print, and the time has come to document their latest works. This new volume describes Périphériques´ most recent buildings and projects. Amongst the realised buildings are the Maisons Icone and MR, the transformation of the Place Furstenberg in Paris, the Café Charbon in Paris, and no doubt the high point is the Cabinet d’art graphique at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Also included are a number of fascinating new projects such as the Small Towers in Tsumari, Japan, the concept for the Habitat shops in Paris and the urban plans for the new Parisian Cité Universitaire.

Résumé:
German designer Konstantin Grcic, winner of the Compasso d`Oro (Milan, 2001) among other awards, is a figure in the international scene. He has received numerous commissions from such prestigious names in the design industry as Authentics, Flos, iittala, Krups, Magis and Muji. From his initial training as a cabinet-maker, Grcic retains the hands-on approach and sensitivity to materials of a craftsman. His foray into contemporary design at the Royal College of Art in London, added a new dimension to his fascination with making things. As a result, every one of his products is informed by his research into the history of design and architecture, and a passion for technology. The book presents the work of KGID, show-casing a remarkable portfolio and offering an insight into the design process through the various stages of a product's development. Conceived by Florian Böhm and Konstantin Grcic, and illustrated with sketches, computer renderings and photographs.

Résumé:
Les photographies possèdent l'étrange pouvoir d'orienter notre vision du monde et d'influencer notre manière de percevoir la réalité. Pour témoigner de l'influence à la fois profonde et unique qu'exerce la photographie sur la culture et la société, Photo Icons passe les grandes étapes de l'histoire de la photographie au microscope. Chaque chapitre de cette édition spéciale se concentre sur une seule image, décrite et analysée en détail, en la replaçant dans son contexte esthétique, historique et artistique. Le livre s'ouvre sur les toutes premières images durablement fixées (l'héliographie de Nicéphore Niépce, vue prise de la fenêtre de son cabinet de travail, obtenue en 1827 suite à une exposition de 8 heures, ainsi que la célèbre scène de rue de Louis Daguerre, prise en 1839) pour conduire le lecteur jusqu'à l'avant-garde de la photographie des années 1920, comme la Mère migrante de Dorothea Lange (1936) et le Baiser de l'Hôtel de ville de Robert Doisneau (1950), jusqu'à la " nouvelle photographie européenne " de Martin Parr.

Résumé:
From his first great design masterpiece, the Red-Blue Chair, to his final design for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Gerrit Rietveld created a significant body of work and left a remarkable legacy. His simple yet dynamic design style has greatly affected international furniture design and has made a significant contribution to the history of architecture. His unconventional approach and extraordinary furniture, hailed by Theo van Doesburg as 'the new sculpture', inspired many of his contemporaries just as it continues to inspire today's designers; he has he has been cited as a source of inspiration by designers ranging from Verner Panton to Konstantin Grcic. This monograph is structured chronologically and illustrated with photographs and sketches of Reitveld's furniture design and his twenty-odd architectural projects. Following Rietveld from his humble beginnings as a cabinet-maker to his final years as a world-renowned architect, this book will present both his lesser-known work and his most celebrated.

Résumé:
Après la faillite de son cabinet, Valerio, un architecte, devient la curiosité de son quartier en érigeant une singulière tour de briques au motif encore plus incompréhensible. Au-delà des manifestations de compassion ou de crainte des voisins, l’édifice du vieil homme renvoie un déconcertant constat : celui de la déconstruction de nos villes, de nos sociétés, et de la dislocation de nos vies modernes. Tandis que son gendre, agent immobilier, mène d’intenses tractations pour revendre l’immeuble familial, on en vient à se demander où commence la folie quand elle se bâtit au milieu d’un austère champ de ruines. Une perspective biaisée où économie, police, mais aussi famille et lien social, semblent tous glisser le long d’un fil à plomb... Sur un fond de crise économique, l’histoire romantique et singulière de Valerio, aidé par Chiara, une bénévole du samu social lisboète, nous parle du déclassement des citoyens européens à l’heure de la dégradation de nos conditions de vie, alimentée par une mondialisation nivelant par le bas. Poétique, tragique mais combatif.

Résumé:
This book is split into six chapters that proceed more or less chronologically. It begins by exploring the origins of the museum both as a cultural phenomenon and as a particular type of space. Central to this, as the first chapter explores, was the ‘princely collection’, that is, collections of painting and sculpture assembled by royalty and the nobility across Europe that began during the Renaissance and continued during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Although varying both in extent and artistic focus, the motivations driving the establishing of these early collections generally derived from their creators’ desires to fashion learned and enlightened images of themselves and their courts. With some exceptions, admission to these collections was limited to the social elite and those that they were trying to impress. The idea that collections should be open to a wider social group began to emerge during the eighteenth century with the advent of the wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities. These contained not just works of art, but all manner of objects, from natural history specimens to religious or cult artefacts, and everything in between.

Résumé:
In the spring of 2010, the Brooklyn-based quarterly magazine Cabinet invited poet and cultural critic Wayne Koestenbaum to begin writing a regular column. Entitled "Legend," the column had a highly unusual premise. Every three months, the editors of the magazine would ask Koestenbaum to write one or more extended captions for a single photograph with which they had provided him; drawn from obscure vernacular, commercial and scientific sources, all of the images were unfamiliar to the author. After 18 installments, Koestenbaum concluded his column in the winter of 2015. 'Notes on Glaze', featuring an introductory essay by the author, collects all the "Legend" columns, as well as their accompanying photographs. Refusing the distancing language of critical disinterest, Koestenbaum’s columns always locate the author in intimate proximity to the subjects portrayed in the photographs and to the impossibly variegated cast of characters—ranging from Debbie Reynolds to Duccio, the Dalai Lama to Barbra Streisand; from Hegel to Pee-wee Herman, and Emily Dickinson to Cicciolina—that pass through these texts.

Jean Nouvel s'est vu décerner la médaille d'or royale du RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects). À l'occasion de cette distinction, Peter Cook a salué les créations de Nouvel: «Dans une époque de fadeur, d'imitation et de doute, son oeuvre brille toujours par son évidence et sa finesse, son originalité et son lyrisme.»

Résumé:
Kunstkammer, art and curiosity cabinets housed in a dedicated room or suite of chambers, were often filled with thousands of diverse and sometimes shocking objects reflecting the bounty of nature and human creativity. These could range from a cherry pit carved with dozens of faces to an intricate drinking cup fashioned from a rhinoceros horn. Whether as a setting for personal contemplation or as a manifestation of the wealth and prestige of its owners, these proto-museums dazzled visitors of the time. This book offers the first in-depth comparative examination of the history, theory, organization, and character of the major Kunstkammern in the Holy Roman Empire.
