Résumé:
In [Fake] Fake Estates: Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark's Fake Estates, Hogue spent several months systematically canvassing Queens, NY, for residual properties similar to the fourteen parcels purchased there and documented by Matta-Clark in 1975. Best known for his spatially dynamic extractions of large sections of walls and floors from abandoned buildings, Matta-Clark, one of the most important American conceptual artists of the 1970s, had purchased the Queens properties with the goal of highlighting neglected architectural environments that make up the urban and suburban fabric. Hogue's drawings, collages, and photographs that make up this book articulates those moments when conventions for establishing the location and the precise boundaries of a site produce a conceptual "excess of surveying", inviting speculation as to the value and purpose of land and revealing the conceptual potential of "real" sites- even small and unusable ones without architectural potential.

Résumé:
Sounding New Media examines the long-neglected role of sound and audio in the development of new media theory and practice, including new technologies and performance art events, with particular emphasis on sound, embodiment, art, and technological interactions. Frances Dyson takes an historical approach, focusing on technologies that became available in the mid-twentieth century-electronics, imaging, and digital and computer processing-and analyzing the work of such artists as John Cage, Edgard Varèse, Antonin Artaud, and Char Davies. She utilizes sound's intangibility to study ideas about embodiment (or its lack) in art and technology as well as fears about technology and the so-called "post-human."

Résumé:
Through an examination of Surrealist photographs, objects, exhibitions, activities, and writings, the essays in Twilight Visions, the illustrated companion volume to the exhibition of the same name, portray the French capital as a city in the process of metamorphosis-in a kind of twilight state. The Bureau of Surrealist Research, the major Surrealist exhibitions, and the photographs of Paris by Brassai, Andre Kertesz, Ilse Bing, Germaine Krull, and Man Ray, among others, all reflect the tumultuous social and cultural transformations occurring in Paris in the 1920s and 30s. This volume considers the social, aesthetic, and political stances of the Surrealists as they probed hidden aspects of the commonplace and blurred the boundaries between dreams and reality, subjectivity and objectivity.

This book gathers a series of design research projects produced in 2007, that investigate alternative ways of constructing our relations with our environment. ‘Environment’ is a nebulous term that often implies ‘nature’. It is implied here too, but only in the sense of the nature of complex, dynamic relations. This includes that ‘other’ called ‘culture’, where we are embedded in environment: ‘we’ as complex sub-entities both distinguishable and inseparable from an encompassing complex, dynamic entity called ‘environment’.

Résumé:
L'architecture religieuse contemporaine en France est peu connue du grand public, sinon ignorée. Quelques bâtiments servent de référence, mais qui connaît les autres églises, temples, synagogues et nombreuses mosquées construites à Paris et surtout en banlieue depuis 1945? Or le développement urbain, qui a suivi la Seconde Guerre mondiale et n'a fait que s'amplifier jusqu'à nos jours, a suscité en Île-de-France la construction de près d'un millier de lieux de culte de toutes confessions. Ce guide présente une sélection en 100 notices des lieux les plus intéressants sur le plan architectural, sélection sévère faite par un comité d'historiens de l'art, d'architectes, de conservateurs des Monuments historiques et d'autres experts. Il conduira le lecteur et le visiteur à la découverte de créations tout à fait originales témoignant de l'audace des responsables religieux de notre temps.
