Résumé:
Wim Wenders (born 1945) started taking photographs at the age of 7. By the age of 12 he had equipped himself with his own darkroom, and by 17 he had acquired his first Leica. A few years later he was to emerge as a leading light in the New German Cinema movement of the late 1960s, making his feature-length directorial debut with Summer in the City (1970). Throughout his subsequent global acclaim as a director, Wenders has doggedly maintained his life as a photographer. In fact, the two careers have served each other well, as many of his photographs are created while location-scouting for films. His image repertoire of neglected industrial buildings, vacant lots, cemeteries, dilapidated urban niches and courtyards express a mixture of bemusement, melancholy and dislocation. “When you travel a lot, and when you love to just wander around and get lost, you can end up in the strangest spots,” Wenders says. “It must be some sort of built-in radar that often directs me to places that are strangely quiet, or quietly strange.” These strange and quiet color photographs are accompanied by poetical captions, some of which elucidate what is depicted, others of which lightly supplement with an anecdote (one characteristically deadpan caption accompanies an image of a cowboy clown standing at a rodeo: “It is amazing how many different ideas of 'fun' co-exist in this world” ). This publication gathers photographs from 1983 to 2011 in a full panorama of Wenders' photography to date.

Résumé:
Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition de l'artiste au Centre Pompidou, cet ouvrage présente des photographies inédites de l'époque où Cohen est passée de la gravure et de la sculpture à la photographie sous l'influence du minimalisme, du Pop Art et de l'art conceptuel. Figure internationale de la photographie, Lynne Cohen élabore des images vides de toute présence humaine : des espaces intérieurs - laboratoires, stations thermales, salles d'attente ou d'entraînement... - aux décors parfois kitsch et dans lesquels planent un certain mystère, une atmosphère inquiétante. Ses cadrages rigoureux, une certaine mise à distance et une lumière qui souligne matières et surfaces confèrent aux lieux qu'elle capture une apparence à la fois " surréelle " et factice. Par la neutralité de l'éclairage et l'absence de personnages, les intérieurs domestiques et lieux de travail évoquent un contrôle social qui s'exerce de manière diffuse. Fascinée par les techniques photographiques employées dans la publicité, les annonces immobilières, les catalogues de vente par correspondance ou encore celles des cartes postales, Lynne Cohen s'inscrit dans le sillon de l'art conceptuel des années 1970, celui des artistes pour qui l'art est un moyen d'analyse. Eclairage, profondeur de champ et composition rigoureuse, voire clinique, donnent à voir des univers clos qui sont autant d'enquêtes sur la configuration de l'espace social. Salles de classe, de restaurants, de sports, halls d'hôtels, bureaux, laboratoires, espaces domestiques ou dédiés aux spas, à la police... partout s'exercent les notions d'observation, de jeux et de contrôles du social. Ces vues frontales aux cadres imposants sont toujours à double fond : quelque chose, de dérisoire ou de grave, y semble camouflé.

Résumé:
Sylvia Lavin's “Form Follows Libido” argues that by the 1950s, some architects felt an urge to steer the cool abstraction of high modernism away from a neutral formalism toward the production of more erotic, affective environments. Lavin turns to the architecture of Richard Neutra (1892-1970) to explore the genesis of these new mood-inducing environments. In a series of engaging essays weaving through the designs and writings of this Vienna-born, California-based architect, Lavin discovers in Neutra a sustained and poignant psychoanalytic reflection set in the context of a burgeoning psychoanalytic culture in America. Lavin shows that Neutra's redirection of modernism constituted not a lyrical regression to sentimentality but a deliberate advance of architectural theory and technique to engage the unconscious mind, fuelled by the ideas of psychoanalysis that were being rapidly disseminated at the time. In Neutra's responses to a vivid range of issues, from psychoanalysis proper to the popular psychology of tele-evangelical prayer, Lavin uncovers a radical reconstitution of the architectural discipline. Arguing persuasively that the received historical views of both psychoanalysis and architecture have led to a suppression of their compelling coincidences and unorthodoxies, Lavin sets out to unleash mid-century architecture's hidden libido. Neither Neutra nor psychoanalysis emerges unscathed from her investigation of how architecture came to be saturated by the intrigues of affect, often against its will. If Reyner Banham sought to put architecture "on the couch," then Lavin, through Neutra, leaps beyond Banham's ameliorative aim to lure contemporary architecture into the lush and dangerous liaisons of environmental design.
