Testi di Luciano Benetton, Peter Noever, Markus Mittringer.Testo Italiano, Inglese e Tedesco.Treviso, 2014; cartonato, pp. 384, 654 ill. b/n col., cm 21x20.(Imago Mundi. Luciano Benetton Collection). Archistar internazionali, celebri designer, artisti affermati in tutto il mondo ma anche giovani emergenti che vivono e lavorano a Vienna o che a questa città, cuore dell'Europa oggi come nei secoli passati, hanno lasciato un loro contributo. Sono i protagonisti di questa nuova collezione di Imago Mundi che rende omaggio alla centralità culturale di Vienna, spazio espositivo d'eccezione, in nome di una simultaneità creativa dell'arte, dell'architettura, del design. Le 161 opere qui raccolte ci comunicano, ciascuno a suo modo, che al di là dell'ossessione economicistica dei nostri giorni resiste una geografia culturale che può renderci più felici, perché la vivacità delle idee rende le vite, singole e collettive, più ricche, feconde e degne di essere vissute.

Instead of architects talking about their designs, this volume puts clients in the spotlight. It sheds light on the tricky balance of power between the architect and the client, focusing on three visionaries who commissioned buildings which later turned into architectural icons.

Can the museum be viewed as a conceptual structure capable of liberating itself from visual and imaginary content? To address this question, a group of well-known philosophers, theorists, and artists undertook a critical examination of collection and exhibition concepts, especially of those that are orientated toward market success. With current trends toward global museum mergers, large-scale exhibitions, and art light, the participants of this symposium, held at the MAK in Vienna, discuss the possibilities for daring curatorial policies dedicated to presenting art within critical aesthetic contexts and point the way to possible future forms of the museum.

Yves Air Architecture is not about Leap Into the Void, the 1960 photograph of Yves Klein diving out the second story of a building. Rather, it presents the architectural projects and theories of the French conceptual artist in the context of current tendencies toward immateriality in architecture, design, and art. This volume includes reproductions of drawings and other works from the Yves Klein Archive in Paris, as well as essays offering both historical and contemporary perspectives on the artist's work. This will be the first publication and accompanying exhibition focused solely on this body of Klein's work. Also included are the first English translation of Klein's lecture at the Sorbonne in 1959, along with related writings. Essays articulate the importance of Klein's work on the subject of immateriality and cite the evolution of this idea from the 1950s through today. A visual essay illustrates this evolution with examples of works by late modern and contemporary architects, designers, and artists.

'How Many Billboards?' ist eine Ausstellung im öffentlichen Raum von Los Angeles. Sie gibt einen überblick über die lebendige Geschichte und die Entwicklungslinien der Concept Art in Kalifornien sowie über die bemerkenswerte Bandbreite und Vielfalt der Künstler, die sie bis heute beeinflusst. 21 Billboards wurden von Künstlern gestaltet, deren Praxis von kritischem Engagement geprägt ist und die Werke beizusteuern vermochten, die auf das Plakat als Medium reagieren. KüNSTLER Kenneth Anger, Michael Asher, Jennifer Bornstein, Eileen Cowin, Christina Fernandez, Ken Gonzales Day, Renee Greene, Kira Lynn Harris, John Knight, David Lamelas, Brandon Lattu, Daniel Martinez, Kori Newkirk, Yvonne Rainer, Martha Rosler mit Josh Neufeld, Allan Ruppersberg, Allan Sekula, Susan Silton, Kerry Tribe, Jim Welling und Lauren Woods 'The philosophical proposition of the exhibition is simple: art should occupy a visible position in the cacophony of mediated images in the city, and it should do so without merely adding to the visual noise. ›How Many Billboards? Art In Stead‹ proposes that art periodically displace advertisement in the urban environment.' Kimberli Meyer, Direktorin des MaK Center, L. a.
