BAI NV Manneken-Pis: Collection Lieux de Mémorie
Book SynopsisThe astonishing fame enjoyed by Manneken-Pis is inversely proportional to his size. However, as surprising as this may seem, his story is still largely unknown. During which period did the statue first appear? When did he receive his first costumes? When was he first used to symbolise that mischievous and irreverent spirit that the inhabitants of Brussels have claimed for themselves? In a more general sense, when did he first embody the city's image abroad? This book invites you to discover the many facets of the Manneken-Pis phenomenon. Text in English, French and Dutch.

Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Laon. Une Acropole a La Francaise
Book SynopsisLaon est une ville surprenante. Rien ne l'annonce dans son surgissement, aux confins aujourd'hui paisibles d'Ile de France et de Picardie. Rien ne trahit, du haut de sa butte au sommet plat, la richesse monumentale d'une cite ancienne toute armee des ses murailles de pierre grise, scandees de clochers carres. Une harmonie a la francaise, l'opus francigenum qui suscitait deja l'admiration des visiteurs des siecles passes, a pourtant modele cette Acropole occidentale, emergeant du vert ocean des bois et des grands champs ouverts, telle une ile enchassee dans les vagues minerales de l'urbanisation contemporaine. Ici les cariatides qui contemplent Athenes sont devenues prphetes, le temple dedie a une deesse, le majestueux vaisseau lance vers la Vierge, veille depuis sa hune par les fronts cornus de boeufs espiegles. L'equilibre triangulaire des frontons antiques, l'ordre elance des colonnesque plisse la lumiere, ont fait place a une foret d'arcs, de voutes, de pignons, de clochers oA' s'enroule l'espace: la vie urbaine a organise ses cheminements et son decor. De fond en comble interrogee, etudiee, photographiee, la ville de Laon est restituee ici a tous, ceux qui demeurent et ceux qui passent, comme en un dictionnaire raisonne de ses architectures, original et a son tour, plus d'une fois surprenant.

Book SynopsisCertaines pierres peuvent cacher des villes: la chasse minerale qui sertit la cite de Laon, ses grands monuments vers lesquels tout naturellement s'elevent les regards, eclipsent volontiers la ville des deux derniers siecles. Mais le parti d'exhaustivite qui a guide les travaux de l'equipe de l'Inventaire general, etranger aux jugements de valeur qui condamnent ou exaltent un style, une epoque, une architecture, amene chacun a se forger une opinion personnelle objective, attentive egalement a l'ensemble urbain contemporain qui s'offre aux regards d'aujourd'hui. Organisme vivant sortant de l'onde de l'Histoire, Laon chef-lieu et prefecture du departement de l'Aisne, a lance les bras de ses faubourgs et de ses lotissements le long des axes de circulation, multiplie les infrastructures et les equipements correspondant aux besoins de sa population, articule par routes, rails et passerelles les deux ensembles d'une ville a la fois haute et basse, pense la guerison des blessures des conflits et du temps. Elle a pris possession pacifiquement d'un espace affranchi des contraintes de la peur et de la defense, ouvert aux activites, aux loisirs, aux echanges, au grondement du flux qui contourne son plateau, aussi bien qu'au silence admiratif de ceux qui s'impregnent de sa surprenante richesse. Laon, belle ile en terre, figure bien sur toutes les cartes. Le present ouvrage, autant qu'une invitation au voyage, est une invitation a quelque longue escale.

Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Die Kathedrale Notre-Dame in Amiens: (Somme)
Book SynopsisNotre-Dame in Amiens ist die grosste und nach Beauvais hochste Kathedrale Frankreichs. Das Bauwerk, dessen Rohbau in dem aussergewohnlich kurzen Zeitraum von 1220 bis 1290 errichtet wurde, zeugt fur diese Zeit der Gotik sowohl von der volligen Behersschung des Architekturvokabulars - systematische Verwendung von Strebebogen und dreigeschossiger Aufriss - als auch, wie besonders an dem Skulpturenschmuck der Portale ablesbar, von hochster Stilentfaltung. Das fruhere Umfeld der Kathedrale im Herzen der durch die Bombenangriffe 1940 stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogenen Stadt hat sich mit dem Bischofspalast im Norden und den Hausern der Domherren aus dem 18. Jahrhundert im Suden teilweise erhalten. Die Kathedrale mit ihren erstrangigen Zeugnissen der Glasmalereikunst des 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts dokumentiert auf eindrucksvolle Weise das Nebeneinander verschiedener Ausgestaltungs- und Ausstattungsphasen vom 16. (Chorschranken) bis ins 19. Jahrhundert (Ausgestaltung der Chorumgangskapellen). Dem Besucher bietet sich somit bei seinem Rundgang die Gelegenheit, eine wahrhaft beeindruckende kunstlerische Vielfalt zu entdecken.

Book SynopsisAls die Kathedrale von Senlis im dritten Viertel des 12. Jh. errichted wird, ist es fur die Konigsstadt Senlis das "goldene Zeitalter". Das verhaltnismassig kleine Bauwerk, das im 13. und 16. Jh. stark verandert wird, nimmt im Vergleich zu anderen Kathedralen einen bescheidenen Rang ein. Auch wenn ihm die Harmonie und Einheitlichkeit der gleichzeitig errichteten Kathedralen von Noyon und Laon oder das gigantische Ausmass von Amiens fehlt, so ist es dennoch ein wichtiges Bauwerk, an dem alle gotischen Stilrichtungen vertreten sind. Ausserdem besitzt die Kathedrale eine besondere Ausschmuckung, die dank der Restaurierung von 1987 erneut zur Geltung kommt. Die zahlreichen Ausstattungsgegenstande stammen aus allen Epochen der Kunstgeschichte. Durch zeitgenossische Werke, wie Farbenfenster und Hauptaltar, erlebt der Besucher die Kathedrale als ein Bauwerk voller Leben.

Book SynopsisAux portes d'Amiens, le canton de Villers-Bocage offre au promeneur nombre d'eglises et de chapelles souvent meconnues, qui refletent l'evolution de l'architecture religieuse de la fin du Moyen Age au XIXe siecle. Les plus anciennes sont belles eglises en craie, de style flamboyant, construites aux XVe et XVIe siecles (Contay, Montonvillers, Querrieu, Villers-Bocage...). D'autres edifices ont ete batis aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles dans un style plus epure, comme l'eglise de Vadencourt. Au XIXe siecle enfin, on assiste a un renouveau architectural qui s'exprime par le truchement de styles historiques varies, allant du classicisme hellenique ou romain au gothique, en passant par l'inspiration byzantine et l'inspiration romane, tout en manifestant un renouvellement des materiaux employes. Le visiteur decouvrira ainsi dans le canton de Villers-Bocage une architecture religieuse tres representative du XIXe siecle, tant sur le plan de la variete des styles que sur le plan de la conbinaison stylistique, propre a l'eclectisme apparu a Paris sous le Second Empire, et dont l'eglise de Cardonnette constitue un bel exemple.

Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Sur Une Frontiere De La France. La Thierache
Book SynopsisSe jouant des limites, puisqu'elle etait frontiere de la France au XVIIe siecle et qu'elle deborde aujourd'hui sur les departements du Nord et des Ardennes, le Thierache est, dans l'Aisne, un terroir ouvert a l'identite forte. Vallons, haies, forets, villages a l'habitat disperse, mosaique oA' regnent le vert des pres, le bleu de l'ardoise, le rouge orange de la brique, l'ocre jaune du torchis et le brun du bois, s'imposent a l'evidence comme un seul et meme A"paysA". Agricole et discrete, la Thierache fut, dans l'ancien diocese de Laon, terre de mission et de defrichement pour les grandes abbayes qui s'y implanterent au Moyen Age, puis terre d'accueil precoce du protestantisme. Sans cesse parcourue par les armees de l'invasio,, cette region, sans autre defense que ses forets, vit ses bourgs se ceinturer de murailles, et ses eglises se herisser de fortifications aux XVIe et XVIIe siecles, en particulier pendant la guerre de Trente Ans qui marqua memoires et paysages. Dans ce terroir depourvu de grands centres urbains, les petites cites d'Aubenton, Guise, Hirson, La Capelle, Le Nouvion-en-Thierache, Montcornet, Rozoy-sur-Serre, Vervins ont connuune histoire politique mouvementee, souvent encore lisible dans leur architecture. L'experience industrielle et sociale sans equivalent en France, reussie par Jean-Baptiste Godin au Familistere de Guise, tranche sur les activites artisanales implantees en Thierache (meunerie, verrerie, forge, tissage, vannerie, saboterie...), reflets durables d'une economie et d'un monde rural qui s'effaceraient sans bruit, si plusieurs petits musees ne s'efforcaient de transmettre le souvenir de modes de vie disparus et d'hommes emblematiques (Mgr Pigneau de Behaine, Godin, Mermoz...). Malgre toutes les epreuves, la Thierache a conserve, dans ses edifices cultuels, un riche patrimoine religieux: des fonts baptismaux medievaux en A"pierre bleueA", des peintures dont les plus connues restent celles de Jouvenet, un vaste corpus de vitraux des XIXe et XXe siecles, de superbes autels et decors de choeur, et pres d'un tiers des orgues de l'Aisne dont la renommee a largement franchi les frontieres du departement.

Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Les Richesses Artistiques De La Cathedrale
Book SynopsisLa silhouette inachevee de la cathedrale Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais de Soissons, eclipsee par celle de Saint-Jean-des-Vignes qui lance ses deux fleches dans le ciel de la ville, cache sous des dehors austeres une harmonie interieure, due aux maitres d'oeuvre des XIIe et XIIIe siecles, et qui se revele a ceux qui en franchissent le seuil pour la contempler dans toute sa hardiesse: la monumentalite du vaisseau central et du choeur contraste avec le raffinement equilibre du bras sud transept. Tel le phenix, la cathedrale renait toujours de ses cendres: videe en 1567-1568 par les huguenots, saccagee en 1790-1793 par les revolutionnaires, bombardee en 1814 et 1870 par les Russes puis par les Prussiens, aneantie par la Premiere Guerre mondiale, elle releve chaque fois grace aux soins de ses eveques, des ses chanoines et de ses architectes. Elle doit sa resurrection a l'un de ces derniers, Emile Brunet, qui s'est consacre avec tenacite, de 1919 a 1937, a sa restauration salvatrice. En depit de l'histoire tragique du monument, les siecles y ont laisse leur empreinte et l'ont enrichi d'oeuvres d'art de qualite exceptionnelle, dues a des artistes de renom (Gilles Guerin, Francois Girardon, Philippe de Champaigne, Michel-Ange Slodtz et, plus pres de nous, Gabriel Girodon, etc.). La plus celebre d'entre elles, l'Adoration des Bergers de Pierre-Paul Rubens, capte tous les regards mais ne doit faire oublier ni le somptueux decor du choeur, ni les splendides sculptures et peintures qui ornent autels et retables, ni la magnifique sacristie, que cet ouvrage souhaite faire decouvrir et apprecier.

Haute ecole d'art et de design - Geneve Ways to Leave Earth: 3: Manifestes
Book SynopsisInhabitability studies, which apply to living conditions and ways of life, are essential in space research. The title of this collective work, Ways to Leave Earth defines its spectrum as well as its scope, a very topical issue at a time of unprecedented ecological crisis. To answer this question, the authors start off from writings devoted to living in space, adding a historical and critical perspective. Indeed, this research is steeped in technical and cultural history, from the first studies carried out for manned space vehicles (V2 rockets) to more recent studies associated with life in confinement during future voyages to Mars (Mars 500). This history also has its blind spots, through its globally technical approach and its utopian or uchronic imaginary. In order to respond critically to these different pitfalls, the position adopted in this book is threefold: examining the methods and knowledge built up by space research; re-materialising the experience of space by considering it from the perspective of the objects it develops and the images it produces,and reconsidering living in space based on concrete and sensitive experiences, linking the terrestrial to the extra-terrestrial. Ranked in an order of increasing size, from the protective glove of spacesuits to inhabitable planets that can accommodate life, the texts in this book consider the inhabitability of space according to the scales of different objects, which raise a range of issues. Beyond technical history and state competitions, the three authors, researchers in art and design, are also interested in the representations of these objects, habitats or places, and in the links they maintain with an imaginary that science can, under certain conditions, share with the arts. Thus, this richly documented catalogue of inventions and projects outlines a part of the cultural history of the 20th century

Haute ecole d'art et de design - Geneve Artificial Design: Creation Versus Machine Learning
Book SynopsisAt the beginning of the 2020s, so-called intelligent' systems such as GPT-3, OpenAI, Dall-E, Midjourney or Disco Diffusion made it possible to generate images thanks to textual commands (prompts') associated with large data sets available online. As part of machine learning technologies, these systems found their place in art and the creative industries' (fashion design, graphic design, product design, architecture, etc. ), profoundly reconfiguring these professions in the same way desktop publishing and design (DTP and CAD) had in the 1980s. Although these productions prove rather easily stereotyped merely remixing existing content debates have focused on the possible replacement of designers by artificial intelligence (AI), shielding the essential question: what is the spectrum of risk and opportunity when it comes to machine learning for design practices?In order to better understand how these AIs participate in what we propose to call a design under artifice' that is to say, an insidious subversion of design's historical principles under the influence of cognitive-behavioural approaches it is first necessary to establish a more detailed understanding of the psychological theories specific to machine learning. Participating in a neurocognitivist approach that assimilates the human psyche to a circuit switch, machine learning is part of the (already) long history of creative software, which aims both to democratise access to computers and to standardise creative practices. Just as these programs have automated a certain number of tasks usually assigned to designers, machine learning technologies displace and redefine the notions of creation and subjectivity. Although they run the risk of homogenising the sensitive world, they also open up new forms of cooperation with machines, of which the contemporary design studios interviewed for this essay offer a glimpse. In this book, Anthony Masure reconnects the challenges of artificial intelligence and design, while proposing a series of avenues to guide this ideal of automation on a small scale, in a controlled and ''tailor-made'' way, so that machine learning can foster invention and curiosity.

Haute ecole d'art et de design - Geneve The Anthropocene Style
Book SynopsisAt the crossroads of architecture, aesthetics and engineering sciences, this book aims to shed light on the unthought-of return of utilitarian decorative arts in the fight against global warming, and to constitute an encyclopaedic catalogue of decorative elements with ancient typologies (carpets, tapestries, curtains, mirrors, etc. ) updated according to today''s scientific knowledge: thermal effusivity, emissivity, conduction, reflectance, etc. Until the beginning of the 20th century, interior decoration in the West had a practical role: to fight the cold, to amplify the light or to block cold draughts. A carpet was used to prevent cold feet, a tapestry to thermally insulate the walls; the crystals in chandeliers, like mirrors or gilding, were there to amplify the weak, solitary light of candles andsmall windows; a folding screen served to block the wind, curtains to block draughts. The arrival of central heating, air conditioning and electric lighting at the turn of the 20th century made this primary utilitarian and climatic raison d''être of interior design obsolete thanks to the massive use of fossil fuels. Old decorative devices were therefore discarded in favour of the clean, minimalist, empty white interiors characteristic of 20th century modernity an aesthetic underpinned by the CO2 emissions of oil-fired boilers and coal-fired power stations. Today, with the need to reduce buildings' carbon footprints and fight against heat waves, new thermal and energy reduction requirements are appearing, including the call for 20cm of thermal insulation in walls. One may wonder if this thermal insulation is not in fact a new form of tapestry in all but name one that would unconsciously mark a return to interior decoration. If the modern style of the 20th century stemmed from carbon energies, wasting without limit resources and energy to heat and light, the decarbonisation of the building is inducing, withoutus realising it, a new decorative style specific to the 21st century, where thermal performance, carbon footprint and ecology redefine the interior's formal and material choices, and finally their aesthetic, cultural,and social value. The challenge for interior architecture is to reactivate interior design's practical sense as it existed before the 20th century, going beyond its apparently futile character to invent new modes of laying out new spatial, formal and material configurations, available to interior designers and architects: a decorative aesthetic specific to the 21st century, which we propose to call anthropocene style'.

Book Synopsis(90)antiope is an asteroid located between Mars and Jupiter. Its singularity is to be dyadic, in other words constituted by two intertwined bodies that revolve around a common center of gravity.This concept of duality is at the origin of the bi-annual magazine named after the asteroid, which we are proud to present to you, and which aims to generate unforeseen encounters. Always creative, they might seem at first sight utterly opposed, but give rise to a proliferation of the unexpected, always focusing on both the unknown and the possible. The concept of the publication thus revolves around the intersection of two artistic disciplines, manifesting itself in the form of co-designed and co-signed editorial content.Here, multiple and parallel histories are intertwined in a narrative with two voices and four hands, confronting visual, sensory and intellectual cultures, examining the role of the eye, of sensitivity, of the trace in all its dimensions.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Imagined Cosmopolis: Internationalism and
Book SynopsisThe period from the 1870s to the 1920s was marked by an interplay between nationalisms and internationalisms, culminating in the First World War, on the one hand, and the creation of the League of Nations, on the other. The arts were central to this debate, contributing both to the creation of national traditions and to the emergence of ideas, objects and networks that forged connections between nations or that enabled internationalists to imagine a different world order altogether. The essays presented here explore the ways in which the arts operated internationally during this crucial period of nation-making, and how they helped to challenge national conceptions of citizenship, society, homeland and native tongue. The collection arises from the AHRC-funded research network Internationalism and Cultural Exchange, 1870–1920 (ICE; 2009–2014) and its enquiry into the histories of cultural internationalism and their historiographical implications. This collection has been edited by members of the ICE network convened by Grace Brockington and Sarah Victoria Turner.Trade Review«Imagined Cosmopolis is an ambitious and exciting volume that charts new interdisciplinary territory through the interrogation of international ideals and cosmopolitan experiences in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. It provides a welcome corrective to the national and ideological borders that often structure scholarship, and I know it will inspire future work in the field.» (Professor Morna O’Neill, Wake Forest University) «The study of modern history has for so long focused on the nation as the key framework, but recent studies, of which this volume contains excellent examples, have de-nationalized history by globalizing separate national entities. This is a most welcome development, and it is to be hoped that this volume will be followed by many others in transnationalizing modern history.» (Professor Akira Iriye, Harvard University)Table of ContentsCONTENTS: Grace Brockington/Sarah Victoria Turner: Introduction: Art and Culture Beyond the Nation – Daniel Laqua: Introduction: Cosmopolitanism and the Individual – Jessica Wardhaugh: The Fabulous Destiny of Saint-Patrice: Royalist Cosmopolitanism and Republican France – Sharon Hecker: Navigating International Networks for Modern Sculpture at the Fin de Siècle: The Case of Medardo Rosso – Dina Gusejnova: A Prussian Diplomat and Cosmopolitan: Count Harry Kessler’s Cultural Politics during and after the First World War – Marina Dmitrieva: ‘Distance Passes through Me’: Herwarth Walden, Modernism and the Cosmopolitan Utopia – Charlotte Ashby: Introduction: Cultural Networks and Connections – Christopher Reed: Boston as Museum: Cosmopolitan Constructions of Japan – Vibeke Röstorp: Third Culture Artists: Scandinavians in Paris – Juliet Simpson: Art as Cosmopoetics: Ferdinand Hodler, Mallarmé and La Revue de Geneve – Rosie Ibbotson: Synoptic Outlooks: Cosmopolitan Vision and the Arts and Crafts Movement – Sarah Victoria Turner: Introduction: Real Places and Imagined Journeys – Hervé Inglebert and Sandra Kemp: Universal Histories, Universal Exhibitions and Universal Museums in Europe: Henry Cole and the Legacies of the South Kensington Museum – Marta Filipová: Regional Modernity and the Global Exhibition Network: Prague’s Exhibitions of 1891 and 1895 – Wouter Van Acker: World Capital Cities in the Belle Époque: Claiming Centrality through Cosmopolitanism – Charlotte Ashby: European Design Journals as Transnational Spaces – Grace Brockington: Introduction: The Expanded Universal Language Movement – Leonard Bell: Translations: Maori Art Nationalized in Settler-Colonial New Zealand and Internationalized in European Art and Theory – Helena Čapková: The Hawk Princess at the Hawk’s Well: Neo-Noh and the Idea of a Universal Japan – Katja Krebs: ‘So Utterly Foreign to the Spirit of Modern English Drama’: Internationalism and Theatrical Relations in London in the Early Twentieth Century – Sophie Hatchwell: ‘Acquiring a Foreign Accent’: Painting as Cosmopolitan Language in Edwardian Art Writing

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Reframing Migration: Lampedusa, Border Spectacle
Book SynopsisOver the past two decades, national and supranational institutions and the mass media have played a central role in presenting the migrant struggle in a sensational way, spreading an unjustified moral panic and relegating migrants themselves to spaces of invisibility. Building on recent theoretical debates in migration studies around the so-called «autonomy of migration» - which sees people on the move as individuals with self-determination and agency - this book reframes migration in the Mediterranean, and specifically around the island of Lampedusa. In particular, the book explores how activist and art forms have become a platform for subverting the dominant narrative of migration and generating a vital form of political dissent, by revealing the contradictions and paradoxes of the securitarian regime that regulates immigration into Europe. The analysis focuses on works by, among others, Broomberg & Chanarin, Centre for Political Beauty, Forensic Architecture, Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen, Isaac Julien, Tamara Kametani, Bouchra Khalili, Kalliopi Lemos, Zakaria Mohamed Ali, Maya Ramsay, Giacomo Sferlazzo, Aida Silvestri, Ai Weiwei, Lucy Woodand Dagmawi Yimer.Trade Review«Reframing Migration interrogates the iconic status of Lampedusa as a centerpiece of the dominant European politics of migration and asylum. Examining a diverse array of artistic interventions into the asphyxiating discursive and scopic regime that frames the Mediterranean border spectacle of desperation and mass death, Federica Mazzara reveals a refreshing aesthetics of subversion.» (Nicholas De Genova, Professor and Chair, Department of Comparative Cultural Studies, University of Houston)Table of ContentsCONTENTS: Mapping Lampedusa: Spaces of (In)visibility in the Borderscape of Europe – From Bare Lives to Subjects of Power: A Counter-Map of Resistance – Border Aesthetics and Aesthetics of Subversion: Counter-Narratives in Migratory Contexts – Death and Memory after the Journey: Counter-Commemoration in Art.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften 'Otherness’ in Space and Architecture: Jews,
Book SynopsisThis conference proceeding (Sessions on "Otherness in Space and Architecture", International Medieval Conference, Leeds, 2017 and 2018) is a compilation of articles written by both young and senior scholars, who are working on the question of the ‘self’ and the ‘other’ in Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures. The articles examine how material, ‘oriental’ objects and knowledge originating in non-Western communities helped building and strengthening the identity of Iberia’s, southern France and northern Italian nobility and its lineages. It is shown how, in the perception of Christians, the public image of Jews and Moslems became constructed as that of adversaries, while their cultural knowledge, at the same time, would be integrated into Christian culture in a paradox manner, in which the ‘self’ necessarily depends on the ‘other’ and how visual tensions in art and space have been used as symbols of power.

JRP Ringier Walead Beshty: 33 Texts: 93,614 Words: 581,035
Book SynopsisLos Angelesbased artist Walead Beshty (born 1976) has long maintained an active writing career alongside his work in the visual arts. Writing on a variety of media, including essays on cinema, painting, sculpture and photography, and texts on artists such as Jay DeFeo, Sharon Lockhart, Kelley Walker, Luisa Lambri, Annette Kelm and Michael Asher, among others, Beshty has been widely published in both books and magazines. This book, the latest in JRPRingier's Positions series copublished with Les presses du réel, gathers together a selection of these essays, often hard to find, in partially reedited forms. Together these texts appear as a parallel production to Beshty's artistic work: they reflect on the conditions of the realization and circulation of images, undermining distinctions between media, abstraction and figuration, and proposing new aesthetic criteria for the works examined.
