Résumé:
By changing our collective relationship with the planet, global warming has transformed the artist’s gaze. Curator Nicolas Bourriaud invites artists from around the world to question the contemporaneity of the Romantic concept of the sublime in the age of the Anthropocene. Today, the sublime, grounded in the connection between humans and nature, takes a new turn, defined as a feeling of ''delight tinged with horror''. The contrast between the individual and immensity thus becomes the aesthetic notion that determines our age. Bourriaud’s exhibition takes place in three acts: every exhibition is a forest; Charles Darwin and the coral reefs; and the tragic death of Nauru Island.

Résumé:
Contre-jour emerges from a photographic experiment carried out in Japan where artist Josée Pedneault created a visual calendar materializing the duration of her trip. Seventy-five photograms exposed daily to the sun are combined with a series of nighttime photographs of cherry blossoms. Contre-jour captures the light of day through the continuous movement of the Earth on itself and around the Sun. Through opposites and contrasts, the book-object offers in every detail of its structure a meditation on time and a contemplation on the cyclical measures that punctuate our lives. An essay by Safia Belmenouar accompanies the publication.

Résumé:
Le rapport profond de Le Corbusier avec une sélection d'objets d'art non européens constitue un aspect largement ignoré de son univers. Et pourtant, le chef de file de l'architecture moderne a toujours dessiné, publié, exposé et collectionné les «arts dits primitifs», selon la formulation clairvoyante qu'il emploie dès 1935. Plusieurs formes sculptées africaines et asiatiques, qui appartiennent pour lui «aux époques les plus fertiles en invention», traversent ainsi son œuvre. Cette publication consacrée au regard que porte l'architecte sur des œuvres africaines, asiatiques ou océaniennes permet d'éclairer des aspects essentiels de la modernité architecturale, notamment les équilibres recherchés entre une essence de l'humain, que représentent des «arts dit primitifs» et un progrès technique qui tend, du moins dans un premier temps, à couper l'homme de ses racines.

Résumé:
Indigenous peoples have gained increasing international visibility in their fight against longstanding colonial occupation by nation-states. Although living in different locations around the world and practising highly varied ways of life, indigenous peoples nonetheless are affected by similar patterns of colonial dispossession and violence. In defending their collective rights to self-determination, culture, lands and resources, their resistance and creativity offer a pause for critical reflection on the importance of maintaining indigenous distinctiveness against the homogenizing forces of states and corporations. This book highlights significant colonial patterns of domination and their effects, as well as responses and resistance to colonialism. It brings indigenous peoples' issues and voices to the forefront of sociological discussions of modernity. In particular, the book examines issues of identity, dispossession, environment, rights and revitalization in relation to historical and ongoing colonialism, showing that the experiences of indigenous peoples in wealthy and poor countries are often parallel and related.

Résumé:
This volume describes over 50 of the world's most powerful, harmful, legendary and storied plants – from the screaming mandrake to calming St John's Wort, to predicting the weather with seaweed, the creation of salves for broken hearts, sore heads, protection from evil spirits and to even induce immortality. Wise women, apothecaries, witches, herbalists: whatever you like to call them, those who cultivate plants for their apparent mystical properties have existed for thousands of years. The Witch's Garden tells the story of our folkloric fascination with these magical specimens, documenting the beliefs and rituals surrounding the natural world. Illustrated with pages from herbals held within the archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, along with botanical illustrations and archival images depicting magic and mayhem, The Witch's Garden beautifully evokes the bewitching nature of mysterious plants.

Résumé:
Peter Cook's distinctive drawings have captivated and inspired generations of designers. Freed from stylistic or functional conventions, his graphic speculations have redefined the language of architectural communication. Speculations spans Cook's entire career, presenting some 160 drawings that range from student projects in the 1950s, through Archigram, to new work completed shortly before going to press. Arranged chronologically, these drawings chart the course of what can now be seen as an enthralling architectural adventure. Cook's own observations about the nature of architecture and urbanism, and the concept of the buildable, are complemented by pieces from architects Frank Gehry, Toyo Ito, Thom Mayne and Peter Wilson.

Résumé:
This book examines how drawing - as both action and object - encapsulates complex ideas relating to culture, technology, space and the built environment. Bringing together an array of beautiful and rarely seen drawings dating from the sixteenth century to the present day, all representing different geographical locations, techniques, methodologies and purposes, the book defines a new field for the subject of the drawing in architecture. It reveals the motives for architectural drawing beyond the requirement to document the processes that underpin the realisation of the architectural object. This book asks, fundamentally, whether drawings can illuminate new interpretations of architectural experimentation. Examples range from initial sketches by architects to analytical and construction drawings, perspectives and schematics, collage and more complex presentations and paintings often carried out in association with others.

Résumé:
Pour ce quatrième volume de la collection, Travis Elborough a repris la route en quête de lieux disparus, évanouis, volatilisés – en tout ou parties. On le suit classiquement à Alexandrie, Tombouctou ou Venise, mais aussi sur les pentes des glaciers du Montana, sur les rives du Danube, le long de la rivière souterraine de Londres, jusqu’aux confins de l’Inde, de la Libye, de la Colombie, de la Chine ou de la Jamaïque. Chemin faisant, il redonne aux lieux visités leur visage d’antan. Photographies et cartes – signées Martin Brown – révèlent alors les merveilles du passé et les comparent aux vestiges du présent.
