Résumé:
Dieter Roth left his mark in Lucerne: close, long-standing friendships and traces in his works. Tränen in Luzern (Tears in Lucerne) complements the volume Inserate 1971/1972 with material for the original version of the Tränenmeer (Sea of Tears) project that – with its instalments and different stages of development – counts as one of Roth’s major literary projects. An in-depth essay by Stefan Ripplinger places Tränenmeer within Roth’s œuvre as a whole, and an entertaining interview by Barbara Wien with the collector and gallery owner Erica Ebinger provides an enlightening insight into her intense friendship with Dieter Roth as well as background information on how the work came about. An incomparable treasure trove on Lucerne, which is not only of interest to those in central Switzerland but, first and foremost, is addressed to Dieter Roth’s collectors around the world.

Résumé:
Première monographie dédiée aux mondes oniriques miniatures créés par les animations délicates du jeune artiste vidéaste japonais, avec un essai et un entretien. Hiraki Sawa uses lo-tech video animation to create poetic dreamscapes, ruminations on ideas of time and motion, innocence and alienation, dislocation and displacement. His seminal film ‘Dwelling’ was made while he was still a graduate student at the Slade School of Fine Art and brought him to the attention of the international art world. Certain leitmotifs recur throughout the films – a child’s rocking horse, migrating animals, model jet planes, objects which play out notions of travel and nomadism, of being at home and thinking of elsewhere.

Résumé:
A seminal exhibition by the artist Daniel Buren at the Centre Pompidou in Paris is recreated through photographs of the since-destroyed pieces and illuminating reflections by the exhibition’s curator. Since the late 1960s Daniel Buren has been challenging the traditional methods of presenting art through museums and galleries. Through his conceptual works Buren audaciously argues that the art and its viewing environment are both inextricable and antithetical. This volume takes readers on a tour of a spectacular exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The photographs depict Buren’s employment of the museum as a whole. The pieces, which he destroyed immediately after the exhibition closed, included hundreds of open cubes, mirrors, banners, and even a car park. Also featured are fascinating, behind-the-scenes accounts of the installation by the curator, Buren’s own pre-exhibition sketches, ideas, and floor plans, and perceptive essays that capture the significance of Buren’s achievement.

Résumé:
After World War I, architects around the world aspired to transcend national boundaries devastated by conflicts, resulting in a flurry of artistic creativity. In Japan, a generation of young architects strove to create "international architecture," or kokusai kenchiku, a product of increasing international travel and communication, growth of the mass media, and technological innovation. Ken Tadashi Oshima traces the many interconnections between architects from Japan, Europe, and America and their designs during the interwar years by examining the careers and buildings of three leading modernists in Japan: Yamada Mamoru (1894-1966), Horiguchi Sutemi (1895-1984), and Antonin Raymond (1888-1976).

Résumé:
In Invisible Oil, the artist Ernst Logar addresses the material petroleum and its importance as a basis of our modern civilization using the example of the Scottish petroleum metropolis Aberdeen. In the course of his work, the artist managed to get access to non public places of the North Sea based petroleum industry. The photographs taken and the correspondence with the petroleum companies, which are active there, are documented as well as the numerous artistic works developed and made of the material petroleum. These objects reflect our modern civilization’s dependency on petroleum and contemplate it in a haunting manner. The book also addresses the current economic and social situation of the oil-industry-dominated city of Aberdeen and possible problematic future scenarios.

According to some recent astrophysical theories, the Universe is largely composed of matter known as black or dark – ‘Dark Matter’ – because it does not react to light.

According to some recent astrophysical theories, the Universe is largely composed of matter known as black or dark – ‘Dark Matter’ – because it does not react to light. This mysterious matter, invisible, undetectable, and in a way ‘hypothetical’, is the inspiration behind this book and the second solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma (b 1975) at the galerie agnès b. This enigmatic name, conjuring both the scientific and the esoteric, directly reflects the artistic research and graphic experimentation which Benchamma reveals in his latest work.

Résumé:
Between 1969 and 1990, the Présence Panchounette collective banzaï-attacked the art world with an onslaught of press releases, flyers, irreverent and butthead deeds. Primarily active in Bordeaux, the group spread its actions on to the international art scene, whose aesthetic hypocrisies and ideological taboos it pinned down with jovial ferocity. The bravado of the Bordeaux-based collective would also anticipate movements born in the Eighties, like Appropriation and Neoconceptual art. Concerned with not smothering its verve in the pernicious Pandora trunk of compromise and mendacity, Présence Panchounette turned its back on honours and remained stone deaf to the attracting songs of institutional sirens, until it announced its disbanding in 1990.
