Abstract

D’après nature réunit un ensemble de peintures, de dessins et de gravures de Jean-Marie Biwer (né en 1957 à Dudelange). Réalisées au cours de ces quinze dernières années, ces œuvres récentes témoignent de ses recherches sur le paysage, la nature et le quotidien. Depuis quatre décennies, Jean-Marie Biwer poursuit une œuvre picturale à travers laquelle s’exprime le regard attentif qu’il porte sur le monde : sur son environnement immédiat – la campagne ardennaise de la région de l’Oesling, dans le nord du Luxembourg, où il vit –, mais aussi sur la société contemporaine. Abordant des genres et des thèmes qui ont marqué l’histoire de l’art, comme le paysage, le corps ou les scènes du quotidien, son œuvre est aussi traversée par un questionnement sur le rôle que peut jouer la peinture aujourd’hui, dans un monde étourdi par un vertige d’images et d’informations. En réponse à l’omniprésence des écrans et à l’accélération de nos rythmes de vie, il crée des peintures qui restituent l’intensité du moment présent et offrent un espace de contemplation.

Abstract

From the key project of the Pamplona Baluarte to the office building for Metrovacesa in Madrid, via the Archaeological Museum of Vitoria, the Fine Arts Museum of Oviedo, the Congress Center in Palma, or the Norvento headquarters in Lugo, the fast-paced production rhythm of Francisco Mangado has not undermined his didactic vocation. This book gathers fifteen of the key works developed by the studio between 2000 and 2020. The architect himself introduces each work, explaining the concepts that are the driving force behind them: context, material, topography, economy, technique, space, program, process, representation, nature, heritage, urbanity, industrialization, energy, and identity.

Abstract

"La perspective décoloniale est aujourd'hui au cœur du débat public. Si son émergence est le fruit de dynamiques à la fois activistes et académiques, elle invite les chercheur·e·s en sciences sociales à relever le défi de la décolonisation des savoirs. Ce livre propose un "arrêt sur image" sur cette trajectoire dont l'émergence doit beaucoup à l'inspiration d'Achille Mbembe. Il permet aussi de saisir l'influence qu'exercent, sur nos façons de produire de la connaissance, non seulement les penseur·e·s et auteur·e·s racisé·e·s, mais également la mémoire, les témoignages et les luttes des femmes et des hommes ayant vécu et vivant encore les violences raciales. Entre études en développement (development studies) et études postcoloniales (postcolonial studies), un nouvel espace de pensée et d'action se dessine, qui est une invitation à traverser les frontières du savoir et du monde." --

Abstract

Attaché et identifié à son île natale, la Crète, Nikos Kazantzaki, écrivain voyageur, élit toutefois la France pour y finir ses jours. Dans son Odyssée, Ulysse ne se satisfait pas de son retour à Ithaque, il choisit, comme son auteur, un exil définitif. Cette dualité de l’écrivain met en évidence la complexité de son rapport à l’espace et la dialectique de l’enracinement et du déracinement qui traverse son œuvre. Cet essai se propose de retrouver dans ses principaux écrits les traces d’un cheminement qui s’efforce de concilier la fidélité à l’origine et le désir de parcourir le monde. Conçu comme une quête de la liberté, valeur suprême revendiquée par Kazantzaki comme par son Ulysse, cet appel de l’ailleurs supposait de préserver comme un viatique ce qu’il a appelé le « regard crétois ».

Abstract

Philip Akkerman (1957) has kept a diary since his academy days. This diary describes his struggle with the mystery of existence, his struggle with art and the art world, his struggle with painting technique and his struggle with himself. The question is whether without this diary he would ever have started painting self-portraits and, if he had already started painting, how long he would have maintained it. 'Philip Akkerman. Artist Diary 'takes you into the chaotic flood of contradictory thoughts in Akkerman's head. Slowly but surely, the 'real' Philip Akkerman emerges. In addition to texts about philosophy and painting techniques, the reader also gets a glimpse into the art world where nothing and no one is spared. Philip Akkerman (1957) houdt sinds zijn academietijd een dagboek bij. Dit dagboek beschrijft zijn worsteling met het bestaansmysterie, zijn worsteling met de kunst en de kunstwereld, zijn worsteling met de schildertechniek en zijn worsteling met zichzelf. Het is de vraag of hij zonder dit dagboek ooit met het schilderen van zelfportretten begonnen zou zijn en, indien hij er al mee begonnen zou zijn, hoe lang hij dit dan volgehouden zou hebben. 'Philip Akkerman. Kunstenaarsdagboek' neemt je mee in de chaotische stortvloed van tegenstrijdige gedachten in het hoofd van Akkerman. Langzaam maar zeker komt de 'echte' Philip Akkerman bovendrijven. Naast teksten over filosofie en schildertechniek krijgt de lezer ook een inkijkje in de kunstwereld waarbij niets en niemand gespaard wordt.

Abstract

Belgian architect Xaveer de Geyter is the focus of this issue, which features a selection of projects from the past fifteen years. He began his career working with Rem Koolhaas at OMA, and started his own firm in the early 1990s. De Geyter believes architecture is about opening up possibilities: the potential of a site, the hidden opportunity of a particular situation, of a programmatic conflict. Among the featured projects are Hasselt’s Z33 Museum, Sint-Lucas School of Fine Arts in Ghent, a learning and innovation centre in Brussels, and a design for the International Olympic Committee Headquarters. Includes an interview with the architect by Sarah Whiting and essay by Philip Ursprung.

Abstract

Colombian architect Simón Vélez is known for his innovative use of bamboo filled with cement mortar as a structural material, an expression of his belief that architecture should contain more plants. His work often includes a variety of natural materials. Conscientious of both local vegetal materials and site, he continues to create structurally rational buildings today. This issue includes a selection of early works (1973–1997) along with many others built since 1999, plus a conversation between Vélez and Shigeru Ban in which they discuss discovering solutions through repeated experimentation. The two met in 2000, when they designed and built adjacent pavilions at the Expo Hannover.

Abstract

Anyone viewing what we call a 'landscape' from a distance will recognize that it is an artifact, a habitat created by humans as part of our built environment. Designing this realm carefully is a discipline that is taking on increasing importance today. Günter Vogt, with his practice in VOGT Landscape Architects and as a professor at ETH Zürich, has developed a set of tools and a working method that incorporate all the different dimensions of the human-designed environment, from the large-scale landscape to the small-scale urban public space. 'Mutation and Morphosis' looks at all the many aspects involved in the collective process of designing and shaping landscapes, from planning to implementation. The model as a tool and the collection as a driving force are illustrated on the basis of an astonishing variety of topics. In theoretical discussions and the examination of detailed dossiers of facts on the ground, a trajectory is traced: from the emergence of new landscapes as a result of climate change to the migration of the wolf to Central Europe, from the impact of invasive plants to the study of geological formation processes. The panorama that unfolds gives us insights into the broad context that landscape architects must consider in their work, exemplifi ed by the outstanding projects realized by VOGT.

Abstract

Mieke Bal develops the idea that exhibiting is a significant form the contemporary can take. There, visitors are in the actual company of the artworks, which can exert their performativity. Framing the essay with a prologue and an epilogue where recent sculptures respond to earlier ones, the essay considers some recent experiences with shows of her own video work. Her usual close look at art as process makes the case that the being-together-in-time of exhibition visits encourages, and if the curation is well thought through, can heighten the sense of contemporaneity with art better than any other form
