Résumé:
The desk is not only very informative in itself, but also must always be studied and understood in the context of its cultural, gender-specific, and field-related surroundings. The focus of this study is a comparative analysis of the use of desks. Desks in insurance companies, banks, administrative authorities, call centers, and design studios in twelve countries on all continents were studied. This publication presents the results in the form of extensive visual material, empirical analyses, and critical essays. The study was carried out by the Koln International School of Design (KISD) in collaboration with universities in Hong Kong; New York; Seoul; Taipei; Curitiba, Brazil; Pune, India; Auckland; Milan; and Fukuoka, Japan.

Résumé:
The wide variety of modern lighting concepts in one publication. With the release of the reference book "Light Perspectives - between culture and technology" at the end of October, ERCO will be making an inspirational contribution towards communication between designers and engineers, building owners and planners, professionals and laymen. What are the intrinsic qualities of light? How are the techniques and design approaches implemented in architecture? And, how are abstract concepts conveyed with the help of lighting qualities? These are all questions that the book answers. The 21 chapters - divided into the three sections Light, Space and Perspectives - cover the actual qualities of light, the relationship between light and space and, finally, the intrinsic dimension of light as it relates to culture.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis of March 2011, Japan has become a bigger part of the world’s consciousness than it has been for years. But Japan also is grappling with other problems that, over the long run, pose a much greater challenge to its national well-being than the devastation in Tohoku....

Regain its position as a leader in technology and innovation? In "Reimagining Japan", McKinsey & Company, a management consulting firm, asked more than 80 global leaders and experts to consider these questions. The authors offer their assessments of Japan’s past, present and future.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage accompagne l’exposition consacrée à Dennis Oppenheim au Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole. Le Musée de Saint-Etienne s’intéresse au travail de cet artiste américain, né en 1938, depuis son ouverture. Alors que l’exposition se préparait en lien direct et régulier avec l’artiste, l’équipe du Musée a brutalement appris sa disparition (janvier 2011). L’artiste avait déjà pensé l’exposition: cinq installations dans quatre lieux différents du Musée. Chaque lieu convoquerait des univers spécifiques: celui du corps et du mimétisme ironique de la vie avec Theme for a Major Hit (1974) et Table Piece (1975); celui de la transformation jusqu’à la disparition dans le couloir (lieu de transition) avec Aging (1974); celui dela sculpture urbaine, décorative et exubérante avec les Splash Buildings (2009), et enfin celui du jeu entre l’architecture etla sculpture avec les installations des Smokestack Buildings with Frozen Fireworks (2009) et Black (2007). Cette publication accompagne l’exposition mais se veut plus qu’un simple catalogue. Elle offre l’occasion de parcourir les trente dernières années de création de ce fabuleux constructeur de formes et de mécanismes, de ce singulier artiste qui échappe à toute forme de classification ou de système. Outre une riche et précieuse iconographie sur son travail (environ 80 illustrations, sélectionnées en collaboration avec l’épouse de l’artiste), le volume présente un texte émouvant du directeur du Musée et ami de l’artiste, Lóránd Hegyi, et un essai du critique Alberto Fiz.

Résumé:
Maisel’s work has always been concerned with processes of memory, excavation, and transformation. These themes are given new form in his latest work, History’s Shadow. In this series, Maisel re-photographs x-rays from museum archives that depict artifacts from antiquity, scanning and digitally manipulating the selected source material. X-rays have historically been used by art conservators for structural examination of art and artifacts much as physicians examine bones and internal organs; they reveal losses, replacements, construction methods, and internal trauma invisible to the naked eye. By transcribing both the inner and outer surfaces of their subjects simultaneously, they form spectral images of indeterminate space, depth, and scale. The resulting photographs seem like transmissions from the distant past, both spanning and collapsing time. They express – through feeling and art, as well as science and reason – the shape-shifting nature of time itself, and the continuous presence of the past contained within us. The book contains an original short story by Jonathan Lethem that was inspired by Maisel’s images.

Résumé:
This catalogue of a travelling exhibition (Hannover, Basel, Frankfurt am Main) demonstrates that artists are able, past all doctrines of growth, to bring forth an artistic treatment of the concept of growth. They indicate lines of connection and dependencies which seem strange to us. Among these are the splendid Venetian Murano glass with which Tue Greenfort illustrates the growth of algae in the Adriatic, the ludicrous flooding of a McDonald’s restaurant, by means of which the Danish artist’s group Superflex alludes to the threatening growth in sea levels. Also works by Dirk Fleischmann, Sylvie Fleury, Mika Rottenberg, Julika Rudelius, Lois Weinberger, Franck Scurti, Dan Peterman and many others.
