Summary:
Le château de La Motte-Tilly, élevé à partir de 1754 par l'abbé Terray, l'un des personnages les plus haïs du règne de Louis XV en raison de son intervention sur les finances du royaume, se signale par l'élégance de sa silhouette. L'équilibre de ses lignes en fait l'archétype de la maison de plaisance : la symétrie y règne, avec cette aisance que le Siècle des lumières a su insuffler aux rigueurs du classicisme. En 1910, le comte Gérard de Rohan-Chabot s'attache à faire renaître la dialectique du château et de son parc régulier menant jusqu'à la Seine. Cette recherche d'unité est poursuivie, dans un grand souci de purisme, par sa fille, la marquise de Maillé, qui atteint le but de son œuvre de reconstitution savante : donner la paisible sensation d'une présence.

Summary:
This book gathers a series of design research projects produced in 2007, that investigate alternative ways of constructing our relations with our environment. ‘Environment’ is a nebulous term that often implies ‘nature’. It is implied here too, but only in the sense of the nature of complex, dynamic relations. This includes that ‘other’ called ‘culture’, where we are embedded in environment: ‘we’ as complex sub-entities both distinguishable and inseparable from an encompassing complex, dynamic entity called ‘environment’.

Publication d’une exposition construite autour d’une œuvre monumentale intitulée Vanités. Faite de l’image numérisée de dizaines de miroirs abîmés, cette œuvre imposante ouvre une brèche dans le regard, invité à s’y projeter, mais ne retourne forcément aucune image, mis à part ce que le spectateur y trouvera. Cette pièce centrale est accompagnée de paysages altérés par l’artiste. Ces manipulations donnent lieu à des nocturnes menaçantes dont les détails se confondent avec la tache. Encore une fois, Nicolas Baier encourage l’apparition de formes précises à partir de sensations vague. Cette publication, co-éditée avec le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec et le Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, accompagne une exposition itinérante nationale. En français et anglais.

In a series of humorous, wry, and deceptively wise reflections, artist, musician, and comic book writer Babak Ganjei presents a radical new take on the artists' manifesto. Examining motivation, inspiration, and influence, these deft pieces of prose flesh out the internal life of a working artist in this day and age. Through his existential acrobatics, Ganjei attempts to make sense of why he does the things he does, but also tries to convince himself that it is fine if it all works out.
