La première image

Auteure: Bernard Koest

Nombre de pages: 97

Ceci est un livre de photos sans photo. Sa place sur l’étagère des beaux livres ne serait que pure fantaisie, et ce n’est pas non plus un livre d’histoires. Il déborde vers la peinture, sans en montrer. Un traité sur l’image ? Un essai ? Il ânonne, annonce quelques théories à créer, thésaurise sur des expériences, théorise une pratique… On ne sait pas exactement. Il nous invite à penser, à éprouver comment tournent en rond photographie et création, comment se rapprocher en s’éloignant. Il montre du doigt une pensée qui prend son chemin, qui s’articule et, si elle se disperse, c’est pour mieux s’enrichir, se retrouver. Une photo tombe d’on ne sait où. Pour peu qu’on en caresse la peau, qu’on en pénètre les oripeaux, on dérive : il y a toujours quelque chose qui se cache derrière les choses. Photographier, c’est penser, créer, écrire. C’est vivre (plus) ?

Blueprint for a Hack

Auteure: Susane Havelka , Vikram Bhatt , Dave Harlander

Nombre de pages: 177

Over five days, some 60 residents of a northern village teamed with designers from southern Quebec to conceive and build an outdoor community pavilion that activates a central recreational area. “Blueprint for a Hack” aims to reimagine community spaces. Faced with extreme housing shortages, physical isolation, and a challenging climate, outdoor public spaces in northern communities remain largely undesigned and underused. These ‘in-between’ spaces are strewn with stuff. Most housing and civic buildings in the communities emerge from and stand like physical markers of Euro-Canadian values. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada has begun a discourse on design in northern Canadian communities, but discussions continue to dwell on housing and civic buildings. A strong need exists to open conversations about design and the public realm in northern villages, which this project tries to address, creating a unique experience in which northern and southern groups could apply a “hacking mindset” to reimagine community spaces. With Contributions of: The foreword is by Mirko Zardini who was the Director and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Canadian Centre for...

Roman Children's Sarcophagi

Auteure: Janet Huskinson

Nombre de pages: 170

This book is the first major study of the themes which were used in the decoration of sarcophagi made for children in Rome and Ostia from the late first to early fourth century AD. It provides a selective catalogue of examples of each type, followed by discussion of how these fit into the general pattern. This allows certain themes to be identified which are virtually exclusive to childre's sarcophagi. The second part of the book discusses the choice of subjects and how these reflect the standing of children in Roman society: to what extent, for instance, was childhood shown as a differentiated stage of life, or was it dominated by aspirations of the adult world? How is the death of a child treated in art? There are separate sections on the role of workshops and customers in the development of child-specific imagery, and on material from the early Christian era, providing some interesting differences resulting from differing attitudes towards children and beliefs about life and death.
