Résumé:
An Exploration into Material, Physiological and Territorial Atmospheres. Energy and sustainability is a complex topic that needs to address simultaneously core disciplinary values and ideas that come from other fields of knowledge. The interconnection between the environment and its climate, its built structures and the human body requires overlying architecture with other disciplines such as meteorology, thermodynamics or physiology to engage them in a holistic way.

But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials.

Résumé:
As the American environmental movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, ecological perspectives also emerged in art. But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials. Created in a range of media, they reflected a widespread reconceptualization of the material world and a sense of the interconnectedness of all things. In this book, James Nisbet investigates the many levels of intersection between ecology and art in the 1960s and 1970s, examining a series of works that served as sensory interfaces to ecological concepts and reflected the shifting notions of ecology during the period.

How did space exploration, once the purview of rocket scientists, reach a larger audience than My Three Sons?

In July 1969, ninety-four percent of American televisions were tuned to coverage of Apollo 11's mission to the moon. How did space exploration, once the purview of rocket scientists, reach a larger audience than My Three Sons? Why did a government program whose standard operating procedure had been secrecy turn its greatest achievement into a communal experience? In Marketing the Moon, David Meerman Scott and Richard Jurek tell the story of one of the most successful marketing and public relations campaigns in history: the selling of the Apollo program.

Drawing out new connections between thinkers including Henri Lefebvre, William James, John Dewey, Gregory Bateson, Félix Guattari, and Gilles Deleuze, McCormack argues for a critically affirmative experimentalism responsive to the opportunities such spaces provide for rethinking and remaking maps of experience.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage, écrit par un économiste, s’ouvre sur une anecdote se rapportant à l’une des œuvres de Damien Hirst, un des grands noms de l’art contemporain qui domine la scène artistique britannique depuis les années 1990. Plusieurs de ses créations (dont L’impossibilité physique de la mort dans un esprit vivant, à savoir un requin tigre conservé dans du formol et présenté dans un aquarium) ont atteint des sommes record sur le marché de l’art. À partir de cet élément, Don Thompson déroule une étude détaillée, précise et largement accessible du marché de l’art, de ses lois économiques et psychologiques, de ses acteurs (artistes, galeristes, collectionneurs, musées, grandes maisons de vente aux enchères). Ce livre s’adresse à toute personne qui s’intéresse à l’art contemporain. Don Thompson est professeur d’économie. Il a notamment enseigné à l’université de Harvard, à la London School of Economics et à l’université de Toronto.

Résumé:
Qu’y a-t-il de commun entre les Amish, les Ranters et Barbe Noire ? Entre les hippies, les beatniks et les communards du XIXe ? Entre les indignés, les hackers, ces nouveaux pirates de la cyberculture, et Prométhée ? C’est ce que cet ouvrage se propose de vous expliquer. Contre-culture(s) dépeint une histoire originale des dissidences à partir des années deux mille et en remontant jusqu’à l’antiquité grecque, au seuil de notre civilisation judéo-chrétienne. Si le terme de « contre-culture » a été théorisé dans un cadre très précis, la contestation tous azimuts des turbulentes années soixante, l’auteur a voulu remonter le temps pour écouter les voix dissidentes qui se sont fait entendre, fouiller les microsociétés qui ont tenté de se pérenniser en marge de l’ordre établi. Vaste panorama historique des tentatives de rébellion et de réalisation d’utopies, Contre-culture(s), des Anonymous à Prométhée permet de remonter la riche lignée de la logique contestataire, d’en dresser une sorte de généalogie, de rétablir la voix des vaincus. C’est un peu une histoire populaire de la contestation, à rebours de l’ordre chronologique et des canons établis
