Summary:
This volume is published on the occasion of Batia Suter’s exhibition at the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland. Suter focuses on her ever-expanding archive of scanned landscape images, which has already played an important role in her earlier publications. Many of the images depict wastelands, alternating between romantic and menacing views which create simultaneous sensations of majesty and disorientation. Through layering, a variety of disparate geological and biological environments merge into composite, dreamlike landscapes in a kind of adventurous journey. The book’s title is derived from the term “Hexameter”, a poetic form of writing used in Homer’s ‘Odyssey’.

Il dira qu'il a perçu en ce lieu la « spiritualité du béton » - matériau dont on sait l'importance qu'il aura après dans son oeuvre. L'initiative a été prise d'inviter Anselm Kiefer à revenir 52 ans après à La Tourette. Pour l'artiste ce retour est comme un rendez-vous avec un lieu de spiritualité qui fut déterminant pour lui. Pour l'exposition, s'est dessiné un choix d'oeuvres d'une grande diversité : sculptures monumentales, vitrines, peintures, livres... Le livre présentera également un portfolio de photographies personnelles et inédites d'Anselm Kiefer prises à La Tourette, livrant son regard sur l'architecture de Le Corbusier.

Summary:
L’œuvre d’Eva Nielsen est constamment à la lisière de quelque chose : au seuil du territoire, de son centre et de sa périphérie, de l’image imprimée et de la peinture, de l’abstraction et de la figuration. D’un horizon à l’autre, du format au sujet, le paysage prédomine dans ses peintures et ses dessins. Inspire´ à la fois par les architectures et par leurs vestiges tant modernistes qu’utopistes, son regard se pose sur ce qui semble être “hors de vue” car les lieux qu’elle retranscrit n’apparaissent qu’entre les interstices d’une nature abandonnée et des sites industriels. Telle une topographe, une observatrice ou une nomade, l’artiste expérimente ces territoires en mutation.

Summary:
Belgian artist and draughtswoman Hannelore Van Dijck produces minute and highly textured charcoal drawings that often cover entire surfaces, whether they be walls, floors, sheets of paper, or textiles. Although her drawings might seem abstract at first, they are essentially hyperrealistic. Often the differences she introduces are subtle and nuanced, and therein lies their power. They can be described as graphic interventions – small dashes, circular or geometric motifs, lines resembling wood grain, smudges – that appear natural in a way, and as such, become part of the architecture or environment. This artists’ book coincides with an exhibition of Van Dijck’s work at Be-Part in Belgium.

Summary:
For the first time, this book gives a comprehensive account of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s urban projects. It presents preparatory drawings, collages and models for many little-known works from the artists’ early career, some of which were never carried out, such as the planned wrapping of several New York City skyscrapers, as well as the spectacular large-scale projects of later years, such as the wrapping of the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris in 1985, the wrapping of the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1995 and the 2005 installation The Gates in New York’s Central Park. In two detailed essays, the authors of the book explore Christo’s extraordinary talent for drawing and investigate the artists’ ambivalent perspective on urban space, which oscillates between a powerful critique of the city’s impersonal modernism and a tribute to the liberal, democratic use of urban areas.

Summary:
American painter Sarah Crowner (born 1974) revisits the art historical legacy of abstract painting in a language of collage and domestic craft, piecing together gorgeous geometric abstractions and vibrant color fields out of stitched-together cloth fragments of different colors. “It’s a way of creating form by joining material,” Crowner says of her process. “They are really objects more than paintings.” "Sarah Crowner: Patterns" is the second artist’s book in a series that Crowner has been developing around the formal aspects of her painting practice; the first was 2012’s Format. In this publication, Crowner devotes her attention to patterns from a range of sources: from those found in nature and the built environment to fashion and the plastic arts. Juxtaposed throughout this selection are images from Crowner’s recent work, specifically her recent paintings, murals and tiled floors.
