Summary:
The German expressionist, architectural visionary, author, inventor, and artist Paul Scheerbart (1863-1915) wrote several fictional utopian narratives related to glass architecture. In "The Gray Cloth", the first of his novels to be translated into English, Scheerbart uses subtle irony and the structural simplicity of a fairy tale to present the theories of coloured glass outlined in his well-known treatise "Glass Architecture". The novel is set forward in time to the mid-twentieth century. The protagonist, a Swiss architect named Edgar Krug, circumnavigates the globe by airship with his wife, constructing wildly varied, colored-glass buildings. His projects include a high-rise and exhibition/concert hall in Chicago, a retirement complex for air pilots on the Fiji Islands, the structure for an elevated train across a zoological park in northern India, and a suspended residential villa on the Kuria Muria Islands off the coast of Oman in the Arabian Sea. Fearing that his architecture is challenged by the colourfulness of women’s clothing, Krug insists that his wife wear all gray clothing with the addition of ten percent white. This odd demand brings him notoriety and sensationalizes his international building campaign. For the reader, it underlines the confluence of architecture with fashion, gender, and global media. In his introduction John Stuart surveys Scheerbart’s career and role in German avant-garde circles, as well as his architectural and social ideas. He shows how Scheerbart strove to integrate his spiritual and romantic leanings with the modern world, often relying on glass architecture to do so. In addition to discussing the novel’s reception and its rediscovery by contemporary architects and critics, Stuart shows fiction to be a resource for the study of architecture and places "The Gray Cloth" in the context of German Expressionism.

Translated here into English for the first time, this rare story serves as a point of departure for Josiah McElheny, who offers a fascinating array of responses to this enigmatic work. The Light Club makes clear that the themes of utopian hope, desire, and madness in Scheerbart’s tale represent a part of modernism’s lost project: a world based on political and spiritual ideals rather than efficiency and logic.

Auteur de Architecture de verre considéré comme un « manifeste » expressionniste (publié en 1914 chez Der Sturm Verlag), cet exote touche-à-tout est aussi un homme de son temps, fort d'une éducation éclectique et d'une culture loufoque. À travers l'amitié de Bruno Taut (1880-1938) et sous le regard postmortem de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), son art verrier le conduira dans le maelström kaléidoscopique du déclin du Jugendstil puis de l'essor du Werkbund – et ce jusqu'à l'orée du premier conflit mondial.

Summary:
Ce n'est pas une civilisation qui s'achève, mais une nouvelle qui commence " celle de la transparence, programmée par le poète allemand Paul Scheerbart dans son manifeste "Architecture de verre" en 1910. La transparence, valeur invariablement positive, traverse tous les champs de la pensée, par-delà les idéologies, et constitue une clé de lecture de notre temps, en termes psychologiques, philosophiques, sociaux, économiques et politiques. Ce livre, outre une nouvelle traduction française du texte visionnaire de Paul Scheerbart, offre une série d'entrées parallèles dans cette notion de transparence et documente intégralement l'exposition réalisée par Guillaume Désanges et François Piron à laVilla Arson, Nice : "Intouchable (L'Idéal Transparence". Une exposition qui, à travers une sélection d'œuvres majeures issues de l'art contemporain des quarante dernières années, propose une immersion dans la transparence, et construit un parcours idéal et sensuel sur les rapports entre transparence, réflexion et opacité, dans un mouvement qui mène de l'idéal à ses dévoiements.
