Abstract

Drawing on original documentation - sketches, his own photographs and the iconic axonometrics - the book explores the creative process of James Stirling: from the early inspiration of Liverpool's docks to his devotion to Le Corbusier, acknowledging the fundamental role of the partnerships with James Gowan and Michael Wilford. Described by his mentor Colin Rowe as an architectural connoisseur, Stirling analyses the past through relentless observational skills and elaborates it as a source of creativity and as a context to respect. This most eccentric British architect leaves a legacy that is not confined to history alone, but continues to be paradigmatic for generations of architects to come.

Abstract

Photographer Eadweard Muybridge was above all an innovator who played a groundbreaking role in the creative transformation of late nineteenth-century American and European culture. He pushed the limits of existing technology between 1850 and the dawn of the twentieth century, a time of rapid social and political change. Inspired by a complex set of goals that were artistic, scientific, commercial, and above all personal in nature, Muybridge reinterpreted the grand landscape traditions of photography, surveyed the construction of Western railroads, depicted the growth of the Pacific Coast of the United States, and documented the Modoc War and Central American agriculture. He then developed the ability to freeze photographic sequences describing human and animal locomotion, and reanimated these in some of the first projected motion pictures. Muybridge helped alter and expand our understanding of the world, yet the full complexity of his art is little known today. Born in England in 1830, Eadweard Muybridge immigrated to the United States in the early 1850s and began his career as a photographer in San Francisco in 1867. He radically reinvented the aesthetic and technical capabilities of the camera and in doing so gave us a new way to conceive of motion, time, and space. Today, the impact of Muybridge's art can be found in many places, from Thomas Edison's kinetoscope viewer and Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase to the poignant paintings of Francis Bacon, the blockbuster film The Matrix, and U2's video for their hit song "Lemon." It is interesting now to imagine Muybridge's world, little more than a century ago, when our sense of time was turned upside down for good. Helios: Eadweard Muybridge in a Time of Change constructs a new understanding of Muybridge's innovations and demonstrates his influence as a pioneer of modern art.

Abstract

British Design 2005 is the second edition of BIS Publishers' cross-section of design studios and creative consultancies in Britain. The changes in the design industry over the last two years is of course reflected in this book: a lot of new names now present themselves for the first time, along with many established firms that are in here again because they experienced the benefits of getting their work out to the (inter)national audience of design buyers who use the book. The goal of this book is simple: it helps clients in their search for the ideal design partner. British Design 2005 provides an instant impression of each participating studio's work - it is a reference tool for whenever professional creative input is needed. To underestimate the power of design as a visual communication interface between user and product would be a grave error in judgment. This is the conclusion of Corinna Dean's article in this book. Look around you and you see a world full of identities, trademarks and other interfaces. It is apparent that the commercial world is aware of the necessity of working with design. The new challenge however, for both clients and designers, is to really differentiate through creativity, to become a first grade version of yourself, rather than a second grade version of somebody else.

Abstract

Far from the hushed restraint we associate with the Victorians, their world pulsated with sound. This book shows how, in more ways than one, Victorians were hearing things. The representations close listeners left of their soundscapes offered new meanings for silence, music, noise, voice, and echo that constitute an important part of the Victorian legacy to us today. In chronicling the shift from Romantic to modern configurations of sound and voice, Picker draws upon literary and scientific works to recapture the sense of aural discovery figures such as Babbage, Helmholtz, Freud, Bell, and Edison shared with the likes of Dickens, George Eliot, Tennyson, Stoker, and Conrad.

Abstract

Le Centre Pompidou rend un hommage inédit à Lucian Freud, l'un des plus grands peintres contemporains, aujourd'hui âgé de 88 ans. Lucian Freud figure parmi les artistes vivants les plus importants au monde et n'avait pas été exposé en France depuis la dernière rétrospective déjà réalisée par le Centre en 1987, voilà un quart de siècle, alors même que sa renommée n'a cessé de croître et que la place éminente qu'il occupe s'inscrit sans conteste dans l'histoire de l'art et de la peinture. L'exposition présente un ensemble exceptionnel de chefs-d'oeuvre composé d'une cinquantaine de peintures de grands formats, complétées par une sélection d'oeuvres graphiques et des photographies de l'atelier londonien de l'artiste, en provenance, pour la plupart, de collections particulières. • La Fondation Cartier • Découvrez l'Art Contemporain à la Fondation Cartier: Expo, Atelier... • www.fondation.cartier.com L'exposition s'organise autour du thème de l'atelier, ce huis-clos qui fonde la peinture et la pratique de Lucian Freud. Elle réunit, dans un espace de plus de 900 m2, les principales grandes compositions du peintre dites Large Interiors, les variations autour des maîtres anciens, la série des autoportraits et les récents et imposants portraits de Leigh Bowery ou de Big Sue, chefs-d'oeuvre du peintre. La singularité du travail de Lucian Freud tient en grande part au traitement minutieux et quasi obsessionnel du portrait et du nu fondé sur une approche absolue du métier de la peinture. "Je veux que la peinture soit chair (...)"
