Résumé:
From time immemorial, people have been fascinated by birds and have created images of their winged companions. The artist Peter Vos (1935–2010) was one of them. He kept bird diaries in which he noted down the birds he came across and captured them in pen and ink and watercolor. Vos set himself a task: fill an empty book with 333 birds drawn as beautifully as possible. He completed it over eighteen months, from June 1980 to December 1981. He began by going to zoos to sketch the birds. Days later he worked out the sketches in his book, resulting in remarkable drawings that serve as records of his encounters with individual birds. We should view the project as an expression of curiosity for his companions. He loved the winged friends he presents to us in all their glory and individualities—true to nature and with an understanding of their characters, honestly, as befits friends.

Résumé:
In 1958, Meret Oppenheim put together an album that she titled "Von der Kindheit bis 1943 (From Childhood to 1943)". It has a dual identity of a diary and a work of art. It assembles photos, objects, notes, and brief texts, as well as ideas and concepts for artworks, and offers very personal insights into Oppenheim’s private life and thought. This book features the entire album in true-size color reproductions and, for the first time ever, translates the full text into English. The album is supplemented with a previously unpublished autobiographical text by Oppenheim, which she compiled in 1970–71. Rounded out with an introduction by coeditors Lisa Wenger and Martina Corgnati, this beautiful book offers entirely new perspectives on one of the most distinguished woman artists.

Résumé:
Une publication co-réalisée par le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) et le Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides (MAC LAU) dans le cadre de la quatrième édition du Prix en art actuel du MNBAQ. Stanley Février explore, à travers ses installations et ses sculptures, la souffrance physique et psychologique causée par les violences du monde moderne. Si ses œuvres, politiques et engagées, s’inspirent des enjeux de pouvoir à l’ère de la globalisation, elles abordent aussi des questions plus intimes, comme celles du rapport à soi et du rapport à l’autre, devenues difficiles dans un monde où l’écoute perd de sa valeur. Lauréat de la quatrième édition du Prix en art actuel du MNBAQ, l’artiste s’engage à faire œuvre utile afin de mobiliser, face à l’injustice, le citoyen ains que les acteurs civiques et institutionnels en les poussant à l’action.

Résumé:
In this uniquely skewed look at the purpose and function of “a book,” Keri Smith offers an illustrated guide that asks readers to creatively examine all the different ways "This Is Not a Book" can be used. Readers will discover that the book can be: A secret message—tear out a page, write a note on it for a stranger, and leave it in a public place. A recording device—have everyone you contact today write their name in the book. An instrument—create as many sounds as you can using the book, like flipping the pages fast or slapping the cover. This Is Not a Book will engage readers by having them define everything a book can be by asking, “If it’s not a book, what is it then?”—with a kaleidoscope of possible answers.

Résumé:
Qu'elle soit contemporaine ou traditionnelle, l'architecture japonaise est une source d'inspiration pour les architectes et designers à travers le monde. La scène architecturale japonaise est, depuis quelque temps, au coeur des débats, notamment grâce au travail de jeunes artistes visionnaires allant à l'encontre des standards contemporains aussi bien en Europe qu'aux Etats-Unis. Des musées aux demeures privées, en passant par les nouveaux bureaux, les immeubles universitaires, les aéroports et les temples ainsi que les écoles, gares et églises, les projets présentés dans cet ouvrage sont très variés. Ces créations sont celles de jeunes cabinets émergents tels que Sou Fujimoto Architects et Junya Ishigami & Associates mais aussi d'architectes renommés comme Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma et SANAA. On y trouve enfin des projets de cabinets internationaux localisés au Japon comme ceux de Richard Rogers Partnership, Foster &. Partners, Herzog &, de Meuron. Ouvrage de référence, La Nouvelle Architecture japonaise est un guide essentiel, non seulement pour les architectes et designers mais aussi pour tous les amateurs d'architecture curieux de découvrir la place unique qu'occupe dans ce domaine le Japon face au reste du monde .

This book presents a new chapter in a series of installations that different visual artists and architects from around the world created in Mies van der Rohe's emblematic building. The Chinese artist Ai Weiwei filled the pavilion's pools with two typical items that are part of our daily lives, but are completely at odds with an architectural construction: the water in the pools, one exterior and the other interior is replaced, respectively, with milk and coffee.
