Résumé:
Parallèlement à la réalisation de peintures murales et de vitraux, Jean-Pierre Kaiser (Lausanne, 1915-2001) est l'auteur d'un oeuvre gravé de près de 500 estampes, créées entre les années 1940 et 1990. Infatigable travailleur, appréciant une forme de discrétion, l'artiste vaudois s'est consacré sans relâche à la matérialisation dans l'acier de visions imaginaires, ouvrant sur des villes minérales arrêtées dans le temps, décrivant des météores flottant au-dessus de paysages figés et dépeignant des hommes-machines. Cette publication, richement illustrée et documentée, traverse plus de cinquante années de production. Elle la replace dans son contexte artistique en s'appuyant sur des études iconographiques, historiques et techniques, tout en portant sur elle un regard contemporain.

Dès son premier long métrage, "À bout de souffle" (1960), Jean-Luc Godard se montre attentif à la bande dessinée, au roman-photo et à la publicité. Il s’empare de ces images populaires pour construire certaines séquences cinématographiques, y fait des allusions ou les cite dans ses films, mais surtout — de façon plus originale et plus méconnue — s’en empare hors écran.(...)

C’est ainsi qu’entre 1960 et 1968, Godard fait accompagner ses films, dans la presse, d’un important appareil promotionnel qui puise aux registres de la BD et du roman-photo.

Résumé:
Swiss artist Barbara Davi works primarily in media installations and photo-collages, deploying architectural and geometric shapes and elements. Using wooden slats or a table, lines or a circular shape, light beams or shadows, Davi creates quasi-drawings in space and photo collages of a magical, almost three-dimensional depth. This, the first book to focus on Davi, covers(...)

Résumé:
Swiss artist Barbara Davi works primarily in media installations and photo-collages, deploying architectural and geometric shapes and elements. Using wooden slats or a table, lines or a circular shape, light beams or shadows, Davi creates quasi-drawings in space and photo collages of a magical, almost three-dimensional depth. This, the first book to focus on Davi, covers her innovative work of the past decade. Nearly one hundred images in color and black-and-white are supplemented by essays on Davi’s methods of working and her approach to her art. The result is a clear and compelling portrait of one of today’s most interesting and creative artists.

Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality.

Résumé:
Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is the tangible. This applies in particular to his door, curtain and window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central focus of this volume. They stage a playful examination of the illusory nature of art, which always questions what painting shows or conceals. In this lavishly appointed volume they encounter central works from the artist’s last 15 years.

Résumé:
A pioneer of performance art in the 1960s, Joan Jonas is one of the most highly regarded and influential artists working today. Her experimental installations have been internationally exhibited and make use of drawings, props, and masks, as well as projections, videos, and soundscapes. Featuring her new exhibitions at the Tate Modern and Haus der Kunst, along with carefully selected interviews, this volume reveals Jonas’s artistic processes, influences, and inspirations—from German fairy tales to Japanese theater, and from the lectures of Aby Warburg to the artist’s collaborations with Babette Mangolte and Jason Moran.

Résumé:
Few pieces elicit such immediate joy as the artworks created by Rebecca Louise Law. She has spent much of her artistic life recreating the fields of flowers that delighted her as a child. Her massive, installations—described as “deconstructed gardens” and “floral magic”—include cascades of multicolored wildflowers and lines of monochromatic roses, all hand dried and hand tied. Her art has appeared everywhere from Times Square to Windsor Castle and companies such as Hermès, Tiffany, and Jo Malone, have commissioned her to decorate their stores. "Life in Death" is the most comprehensive collection to date of Law’s work. It documents the evolution of Law’s unique artistic practice, and explains why she chose to use preserved flowers as sculptural material. It offers a journey through her earliest experiments to her best known immersive installations, via a series of beautifully documented photographs. It also provides a unique insight into Law’s life and influences, including an introduction written by the artist herself.

Résumé:
Thirty years after the original Japanese edition by Fumihiko Maki and a team from Maki and Associates, an English-language version of this book is finally available. The original was based on a commissioned study on “The Desirable Living Environment” and examined Japanese urban spaces in the context of Tokyo’s rapid change and the city’s distinctive aesthetic consciousness. In particular, the concern for surface layers, micro-topographies, and small spaces in the metropolis received special focus. With the ever-growing and new global metropolises emerging today, fundamentally different attitudes toward public domains are revealed. It is clear that old ideas no longer apply.

Résumé:
Modernisation in the 20th century has deeply transformed Japanese society, bringing economic wealth and social well-being, but also increasing divisions and specialisation in society. This transformation has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and finds expression in architectural projects. The catalogue for the Japanese Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Momoyo Kaijima, one of the founders of Atelier Bow-Wow, this volume examines the role of architectural drawings in this reappraisal, as they form the basis on which a common approach in the design of individualised yet shared environments in today’s globalised society can be formulated. It proposes architectural ethnography as a methodology of social engagement.

Résumé:
The Netherlands has been and continues to be a testing ground where the future of labor is reimagined. Published in conjunction with the Dutch Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, ''Work, Body, Leisure'' analyzes spatial arrangements and protocols molded for the interaction between humans and machines; spaces that challenge traditional distinctions between work and leisure; the ways in which evolving notions of labor have categorized and defined bodies at particular moments in time; and the legal, cultural, and technical infrastructures that enable their exploitation, with the aim of fostering new forms of creativity and responsibility within the architectural field in response to emerging technologies of automation.
