Smiljan Radic est l'un des représentants les plus intéressants de la jeune génération d'architectes chiliens. Il explore des thématiques contemporaines adaptées aux problématiques de son pays d'origine : les nouveaux matériaux, et l'introduction de valeurs locales et traditionnelles dans la conception de ses bâtiments. La délicatesse de ses créations, pour lesquelles les détails comptent autant que l'ensemble, est désormais reconnue dans le monde entier. Ce volume de la revue d'architecture 2G est une introduction à son oeuvre dans le contexte chilien.
En este libro, los arquitectos franceses Anne Lacaton y Jean-Philippe Vassal, ganadores del prestigioso Premio Pritzker 2021, presentan su trabajo a través de tres conceptos, cada uno de ellos mostrado por un tipo específico de contenido. En una conversación con Enrique Walker explican la manera de pensar que hay detrás de todo su proyecto, en particular a través de una de sus obras más significativas: el Palais de Tokyo de París.
Espacio libre El espacio ideal, siempre pensado en los máximos términos: generosidad de espacio, eficiencia y comodidad. Esta intención prefijada es un principio fundamental de Lacaton y Vassal que ya no se cuestiona y que conforma la base de todos sus proyectos.
Transformación Nunca demoler, siempre añadir, transformar, ampliar. Aplicar el concepto de espacio libre a edificios y emplazamientos existentes. Tratar el lugar como un prerrequisito existente. Tomar los valores del lugar e integrarlos en el proyecto, nunca oponerlos a él.

An essential compendium on the work, life and legacy of the transgressive autofiction pioneer.
The American author Kathy Acker was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Working through a tradition spanning Bataille, Burroughs, Schneemann, French critical theory and pornography, she wrote numerous novels, essays, poems and novellas from the early 1970s to the late 1990s, among them the classics The Childlike Life of the Black Tarantula, Blood and Guts in High School and In Memoriam to Identity. A truly pioneering postmodernist, plagiarist and postpunk feminist, Acker continues to inspire generations of writers, philosophers and artists, from her contemporaries such as Dodie Bellamy, Avital Ronell, McKenzie Wark and Chris Kraus to younger writers such as Bhanu Kapil and Olivia Laing.
Get Rid of Meaning is the first comprehensive publication to synthesize art and literary perspectives on Acker's work. It shows Acker's own visual sensibility in her cut-up notebooks and her use of mail-art idioms, and orients her emergence within the 1970s art scenes in New York and California populated by Eleanor Antin, Lynn Hershman Leeson and Constance DeJong, among others--artists who made innovations in performance, of which Acker would make use.
Also included is previously unpublished material from Acker's personal archive and other collections, including correspondence, her library and various personal effects.
Contributors include: Kathy Acker, Dodie Bellamy, Hanjo Berressem, Ruth Buchanan, Anja Casser, Georgina Colby, Leslie Dick, Claire Finch, Johnny Golding, Anja Kirschner, Chris Kraus, Sylvère Lotringer, Douglas A. Martin, Jason McBride, Karolin Meunier and Kerstin Stakemeier, Avital Ronell, Daniel Schulz, Matias Viegener and McKenzie Wark.
Tillmans' photographic explorations of human connection and tangibility in dialogue with our new virtual presen.
The observation of people--their bodies, movements, relation to surroundings--lies at the core of the diverse oeuvre that German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) has amassed over the past three decades. Today, these haptic relations and interactions are undergoing massive shifts in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and technological change, as the necessity of social distancing and the migration of everyday life into virtual space transforms how we interact with one another.
Wolfgang Tillmans: Sound Is Liquid reflects on the photographer's oeuvre against the backdrop of these societal developments. Accompanying an exhibition at the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig (MUMOK) in Vienna, Austria, this catalog features a wide selection of Tillmans' work from his early photographs produced in the pop-culture milieu of the 1990s to his acclaimed photographic abstractions, his high-resolution images of the globalized and digitalized reality of the early 21st century, and photos taken shortly before and during the coronavirus pandemic.
The seventh installment of Feldmann's ever-collectible found-image photobook series.
For most of his career, German visual artist Hans-Peter Feldmann (born 1941) has been a virtuoso reappropriator of images, mining visual culture both high and low to create assemblages of disparate symbology. His Voyeur project presents a unique series of photographic artist's books filled to the brim with juxtapositions, each page composed of images sourced from all areas of modern life. Excerpts from film, photojournalism, advertisements, fine art, amateur photos, pornography and scientific illustrations, some instantly recognizable and some utterly obscure, appear in the seventh edition of Feldmann's series. Questions of copyright and commercialization are hinted at but never answered as Feldmann encourages readers to draw their own conclusions about the artistic value of ephemeral curation. Readers may leaf through the book as one might a stranger's personal scrapbook, creating their own narratives from the contextless images.
