Artiste visionnaire, Bodys Isek Kingelez a créé une série de propositions utopiques, de villes inscrites dans un avenir pacifié et prospère. Né au Congo belge en 1948, il entre dans l'âge adulte alors que son pays connaît de profondes mutations, après son accession tourmentée à l'indépendance. A la fin des années 1970, à Kinshasa, capitale d'un nouvel Etat-nation rebaptisé Zaïre, il élabore ses premières oeuvres en transformant des matériaux modestes - papier, carton, plastique et emballages - en sculptures d'une éblouissante complexité. Inspirées en grande partie par la vie trépidante et l'architecture de la capitale (où il vivra jusqu'à sa mort en 2015), ses créations évoquent des bâtiments publics, des monuments, des pavillons d'expositions et des gratte-ciels, tour à tour isolés ou agencés en mégalopoles tentaculaires et imaginaires

Patrick Bouchain est passé maître dans l’art de capter, de fédérer, de révéler les intelligences et les savoir-faire pour habiter le monde autrement. Posant un regard rétrospectif sur cinq décennies de création, cet ouvrage propose un inventaire inédit des quelque cent cinquante projets conçus par Patrick Bouchain de 1967 à 2017. Il fait suite à la donation des archives de l’architecte au FRAC Centre-Val de Loire, dont la collection est l’une des plus importantes au monde pour l’architecture. Conçu comme un atlas, l’ouvrage révèle le contenu des nombreux carnets constitués au gré de chaque projet, où s’entremêlent les circonvolutions du dessin, du collage et de l’écriture, rebonds d’une pensée orale indéfectiblement stimulée par le dialogue avec la société.

The Model as Performance investigates the history and development of the scale model from the Renaissance to the present from a scenographic perspective and a performative paradigm that explores what the model can do and how it is used in theatre and architecture. It provides a comprehensive historical context and theoretical framework for theatre scholars, scenographers, artists and architects interested in the model's reality-producing capacity and its recent emergence in contemporary art practice and exhibition. For the undergraduate student, it provides a historical survey of the model, and to the postgraduate student, it opens up a new methodological approach. Introducing a typology of the scale model beyond the iterative and the representative model, the authors identify the autonomous model as a provocative construction between past and present, idea and reality that challenges and redefines the relationship between object, viewer and environment. Case studies include Brunelleschi's dome models and Bel Geddes' Futurama, Mies van der Rohe's mock ups and Zumthor's atmospheric models, Anna Viebrock's life size boxes and Herzog & de Meuron's miniature styrofoam exhibits.

"The sculptures of Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948–2015) are imagined architectural propositions and improbable structures for a fairytale urban landscape. Comprised of paper, commercial packaging and the stuff of everyday life, his “extreme maquettes” transform these materials into fantastic visions that encompass civic buildings, public monuments and private pavilions. Born in the Belgian Congo, Kingelez gained international renown following his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at Centre Georges Pompidou and the Grande Halle of the Parc de la Villette, and since that time, his work has been included in numerous global surveys and in several solo presentations. Published to accompany the first retrospective of his work, this volume traces the span of Kingelez’s three decade career, from never-before-exhibited early works to sculptures that launched his career in 1989 and the complex and multifaceted cities of later decades, bringing his rarely seen, distinctive oeuvre to international audiences. Featuring stunning new photography of his work, this serves as the most comprehensive volume on the artist to date. Sarah Suzuki is Curator of Drawings and Prints at the Museum of Modern Art, New York."
