Abstract

"Almost every industry in the world has benefited from the invention of plastics, but it is only in the recent past that they have begun to be appreciated as architectural materials in their own right. Plastics are quickly becoming one of the most ubiquitous materials in construction and have the potential to reshape the roles of architects and engineers, as well as the construction industry at large. As a building material, plastic allows for easily molded and formed shapes, leading to increasingly malleable design processes. Despite being the most deeply engineered building materials today, plastics are still in the nascent stages of understanding in terms of their potential applications and uses. In Permanent Change an interdisciplinary group of architects, historians, theorists, and engineers collectively explore the past, present, and future possibilities of this innovative building material"-- "While plastics are perhaps the most deeply engineered building materials today, we are still in the nascent stages of understanding their potential applications and uses. Permanent Change sheds new light on these materials and their implications for the fields of architecture and engineering. Materials that once forecast easily molded shapes have become a permanent measure and control point in design. Permanent Change is the fourth in the series Columbia Books on Materials and Architecture"--

Abstract

Naum Gabo (1890–1977), whose eventful life took him from his native Russia to Berlin, Paris, London, and finally the United States, achieved renown as one of the most inventive and controversial figures in twentieth-century sculpture. This book is the first comprehensive account of Gabo’s life, career, and artistic theory and practice. Martin Hammer and Christina Lodder explore in detail the evolution of the artist’s work and his aesthetic concerns, creative processes, assimilation of such new materials as plastic, and approach to public sculpture. The authors also examine his response to the scientific and political revolutions of his age and trace the origins and development of Gabo’s utopian conviction that Constructivist art was profoundly in tune with modernity, social progress, and advances in science and technology. Drawing on Gabo’s extensive and largely unpublished archives of letters, diaries, notebooks, models, and sketchbooks, Hammer and Lodder discuss the sculptor’s work in the context of his relations with other avant-garde artists, architects, and critics, including his brother Antoine Pevsner. They also situate his aesthetic theory and practice within the Constructivist movement and the wider tradition of twentieth-century art, and they examine Gabo’s accomplishments in each of the diverse milieus in which he worked. Martin Hammer is senior lecturer in the Department of Fine Art at the University of Edinburgh. Christina Lodder is professor, School of Art History, University of St. Andrews. She is the author of Russian Constructivism, published by Yale University Press.

Abstract

Kuri gathers his resources from a variety of sites before combining them in a manner that draws upon tradition of assemblage with a nod to Surrealist montage. The catalogue shows, amongst others, new pieces produced for the exhibition, revealing both the diversity of Kuri's formal approach and the consistency of his underlying themes: notions of commercial and cultural value, consumerism, as well as material and its poetic (mis)use.

Abstract

Nouveau musée et centre d'art, le ADAM (Art & Design Atomium Museum) a pour ambition de devenir une référence muséale en matière d'expositions d'art et de design à Bruxelles. Installé sur le plateau du Heysel, à deux pas de l'Atomium, il dispose de près de 5.000m2 et a pour exposition permanente la collection du Plasticarium. Constituée depuis les années 1980, cette collection est un ensemble singulier et unique au monde qui regroupe plusieurs centaines d'objets en plastique, allant du plus usuel à l'œuvre d'art, en passant par l'objet de design. Si cette collection occupe la large place qu'elle mérite au sein du musée, d'autres espaces proposent des expositions temporaires dédiées à l'art et au design du XXe siècle et d'aujourd'hui. Le présent ouvrage reprend les créations des designers parmi les plus importants dans le domaine du plastique depuis les années 1950 jusqu'à nos jours. Un florilège de formes et de matières magnifiquement illustré par des reproductions en quadrichromie dont beaucoup en pleine page. Un livre référence, qui compte également quelques œuvres d'art ayant recours au plastique, publié en quatre langues (français, néerlandais, anglais, allemand). Textes de Anne Bony, Alexandra Midal et Richard Thommeret. Quadrilingue français, néerlandais, anglais, allemand.
