Résumé:
Barcelona-based Portuguese artist Carlos Bunga (Porto, 1976) is well known for his large scale installations in which he often uses fragile, perishable materials to build architectural structures, which he sometimes later destroys in performances or even before the exhibition opens. Built over weeks, his site-specific projects are made in direct dialogue with the surrounding architecture. This publication documents the special commission made for the Sonae/Serralves Project in 2012 for which the artist created a very large structure for the entrance hall of the Serralves Museum emphasizing the space’s verticality and functionality, in dialogue with Álvaro Siza’s architecture. Illustrated with Bunga’s projects in other artistic contexts, the book features texts by João Fernandes and Ricardo Nicolau (exhibition curators), Adam Budak (curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.), Marta Jecu (writer and researcher at CICANT Institute, Universidade Lusófona, Lisbon) and an interview conducted by María Inez Rodríguez (former chief curator at Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City) offering comprehensive insights into Carlos Bunga’s work.

Résumé:
Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza (born 1933) is one of the most influential architects of the past half-century. His most famous work is perhaps the Serralves Museum in his hometown of Porto, his second museum building, following the Galician Center for Contemporary Art, erected in 1997. Low built and horizontal in axis, its white stucco walls are perforated with occasional openings that yield unexpected views of a surrounding garden. As with most of Siza's buildings, the furniture and fittings were also designed by the architect, including lighting fixtures, handrails, doorknobs and all signage. Building materials include hardwood floors and painted walls in gesso with marble skirting in the exhibition halls and marble floors in the foyers. This volume, published in Poligrafa's innovative Museum Building series, reviews the Serralves Museum, a disarmingly intimate space in pronounced contradistinction to much recent museum architecture.

Few writers have had a greater impact on the methods of art-making in the twentieth century than Raymond Roussel (1877-1933). Marcel Duchamp acknowledged Roussel as the foremost influence on his "Large Glass"; André Breton described him as the "greatest magnetizer of modern times"; and at least two generations of conceptual artists, from Allen Ruppersberg and Guy de(...)

Résumé:
Few writers have had a greater impact on the methods of art-making in the twentieth century than Raymond Roussel (1877-1933). Marcel Duchamp acknowledged Roussel as the foremost influence on his "Large Glass"; André Breton described him as the "greatest magnetizer of modern times"; and at least two generations of conceptual artists, from Allen Ruppersberg and Guy de Cointet to Rodney Graham and Paul Etienne Lincoln have borrowed or adapted Roussel's "procédé" for writing, which involved selecting two similar-sounding words, elaborating them into two similar-sounding sentences and then "writing a tale which can start with the first and finish by the second." Reproducing a wealth of archival materials, artworks and writings, this volume - a kind of Roussel encyclopedia - assesses the writer's legacy in art for the first time. Alongside works by the above, it includes art by Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Joseph Cornell, Ree Morton and others; and writings on Roussel by Jean Cocteau, Paul Eluard, Michel Leiris, Duchamp, Dalí, Philippe Soupault, Ernst, Breton, Ruppersberg, Michel Foucault, Jacques Brunius and Michel Butor.
