Résumé:
Depuis les précurseurs de la modernité comme Tatline et Malévitch dans les années 1920-30 qui, en introduisant l'architecture dans les pratiques artistiques, ouvrirent la voie à d'autres procédures aujourd'hui reconnues, en passant par les approches nouvelles de l'espace dans les années 1960-70, jusqu'aux oeuvres contemporaines qui utilisent le son ou la vidéo, le travail in situ et l'installation sous toute ses formes, l'exposition "50 espèces d'espaces"met en espace des oeuvres qui jouent sur les catégories classiques de l'art.

Résumé:
Appropriated Landscapes explores the landscapes of Southern Africa, through photography and video from artists including David Goldblatt, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Penny Siopis and Guy Tillim. By examining the effects of war, migration, colonisation, industrialisation and ideology on South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Mozambique, this book reveals the varied histories of these regions and their peoples. Landscape - both in Southern Africa and beyond - shows itself as ultimately a construct of the mind, composed as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.

Résumé:
Born in New York and trained in architecture, Gordon Matta-Clark is most famous for his slicing through façades, walls and floors of derelict buildings. This ‘deconstructing’ gesture, provocative and extreme, turns architecture into astonishing sculptures, where the mass of the building is entwined with the light and air that penetrate it. Matta-Clark’s interventions are always grounded in social or political convictions. Some of his projects include opening a restaurant (Food, 1971)in the then-neglected district of SoHo in New York, purchasing at auction fractions of unusable urban land in New York (Reality Properties: Fake Estates, 1973), dispensing oxygen to passersby in the streets of New York from a self-made cart (Fresh Air Cart, 1972), and other visionary urban projects that he conceived as a founding member of the New York-based Anarchitecture group. His practice remains one of the most unique, unequalled, and hugely influential of the past decades. A richly documented essay by Professor Thomas Crow presents new perspectives on the work of the artist. Also included are original essays by Judith Russi Kirshner and Christian Kravagna, as well as a ‘Documents’ section composed of key unpublished and hard-to-find essays and interviews, compiled by editor Corinne Diserens.
