Abstract

"Somewhere between 1910 and 1970, architecture changed. Now that modern architecture has become familiar (sometimes celebrated, sometimes vilified), it's hard to imagine how novel it once seemed. Expensive buildings were transformed from ornamental fancies which referred to the classical and medieval pasts into strikingly plain reflections of novel materials, functions, and technologies. Modern architecture promised the transformation of cities from overcrowded conurbations characterized by packed slums and dirty industries to spacious realms of generous housing and clean mechanized production set in parkland. At certain times and in certain cultures, it stood for the liberation of the future from the past." [Publisher]

Abstract

The exhibition ‘The Architect is Present’ shows the work of five influential international studios who have turned austerity into their ethic and aesthetic motto. With offices located in five continents, these young architects work in underprivileged contexts, proving that scarcity of means can stimulate technical inventiveness and community participation, and become the basis for a responsible architecture where the vocation of service does not exclude beauty and emotion. From Norway and Germany to Burkina Faso, and from Paraguay to Australia passing through India or Thailand, these studios have built housing, rural schools or social centers with an extraordinary economy of means, admirable adaptation to collective needs and exemplary material execution.

Abstract

De plus en plus d’artistes utilisent les nouvelles technologies à des fins esthétiques et artistiques. Des termes et des expressions tels bioart, biotech, biofacts, art transgénique, biogénétique, art in vitro, etc, désignent ainsi des créations hybrides mi-artistiques, mi-scientifiques. Ces «oeuvres», volontairement provocantes, dérangent. Elles ébranlent l’imaginaire et transgressent parfois les limites traditionnellement et historiquement assignées à l’art occidental. Elles troublent aussi notre jugement en révélant, au-delà du domaine de l’art, une multiplicité d’enjeux d’ordre éthique, religieux, philosophique, culturel, juridique et politique. La neuroesthétique, espace interdisciplinaire entre l’esthétique, les neurosciences et les sciences cognitives, représente aujourd’hui un aspect particulièrement novateur de l’alliance entre l’art et la science. Les questions qu’elle pose sont nombreuses : quelle est la part de l’inné et de l’acquis dans l’expression de notre sensibilité au beau ? Existe-t-il des dispositions neuronales, des structures cérébrales, qui favorisent la reconnaissance et l’appréciation de la beauté ? Peut-on identifier les processus physiologiques qui déterminent ou accompagnent l’expérience esthétique plastique ou musicale, etc ? Autant d’interrogations tournées vers un futur incertain, sources d’inquiétude, auxquelles la technoscience livre peu à peu ses propres réponses. Autant de défis que doit tenter de relever néanmoins la réflexion esthétique.
