Summary:
Le Centre hospitalier du Vexin est un lieu singulier par sa géographie et son histoire. Aujourd'hui spécialisé dans les soins de suite et de rééducation et la prise en charge du handicap lourd, cet hôpital fut à l'origine, en 1930, un sanotarium à l'architecture révolutionnaire, se dévelopanat en tros grands bâtiments de béton construits au ilieu d'une forêt. Situé loin des grandes villes, il fur utilisé pendant la seconde guerre mondiale comme camp de prsonniers de 1940 à 1943. La police française y interna des communistes et des résistants dont beaucoup furent déportés dans les camps de concentration. Gwendal Bescond, photographe, Catherine Déréthé, compositrice sonore, et Nolwenn Assolant, écrivaine, évoquent ce site où l'on passe en un instant d'un univers de traces fantomatiques à un lieu dédié à la reconstruction du corps et qui mêle l'histoire collective à la mémoire individuelle.

Summary:
When renowned Hiroshi Sugimoto was invited to photograph the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, St. Louis, his attention immediately focused on an immense steel sculpture, Richard Serra's Joe, one of the artist's torqued spirals, which occupies a small courtyard of the museum. Joe allows viewers to walk in through a narrow passage between towering, sloping walls. The path leads to a surprising central space from which only the curving steel walls and the sky are visible. Sugimoto's pictures in this book capture the elliptical nature of Serra's piece. His images are complemented by the words of Jonathan Safran Foer, whose affecting prose poem-about an "average Joe" experiencing the circular passage of time-echoes, without directly referencing, Serra's sculpture. Designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, this large-format book features tritone reproductions printed on uncoated stock.

Summary:
Published to accompany an exhibition at the Technisches Museum, Vienna. "Blue. Inventing the River Danube" combines a cultural history of the river with an artistic exploration of its present. The journey begins in Vienna and continue eastwards along the river for two thousand kilometres. Historical photograhs tell the story of how technologyreinvented the Danube from the middle of the 19th century onwards. They depict the development of the continent's second largest river, and its cultural and economic significance for central and south-easthern Europe. The river as it is today is the theme of the artistic work by Iosif Kiraly (Bucharest)and Sophie Ristelhueber (Paris). In winter and spring 2004/2005 the two photographers travelled along the Danube, eastwards and westwards. Kiraly visited places that have been shaped by the industrial age. Ristelhueber followed the Danube along its last few miles to Sulina, the place where the Danube ends and the Black Sea begins.

Summary:
Cyril Connolly wrote that 'no city should be too large for a man (or woman) to walt out of in a morning.'It is a sensible standard, though by it the Denver area in the 1970's was a disappointment. People had moved there to enjoy nature, but found that nature was mostly inacessible except on weekends. Often little of it was even visible out the window. The puzzle became how to live inside. These rooms seemed to me then to be mostly sad , although what strikee me now is the evidence in them, however fragile, of caring.
