  • New Work: Christopher Wool
    [HRl�TOPHf R WOOl NEW WORK SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART NEW WORK: CHRISTOPHER WOOL JULY 6 - SEPTEMBER 3, 1989 Although he has explored other art forms, including film,what Christopher Wool considers his mature work began with paintings he made in 1984. At that time, he was dissatisfied with the work he was producing (for example, a painting called Bigger Questions, which was simply a question mark on its side). Like many artists before him, he began to investigate the basic processes of painting itself, "strug­ gling to find some kind of meaningful imagery."1 A work he called Zen Exercise con­ sisted of three large, violent pours of paint. Looking back today he considers this work crucial because the pours were random, and he was "looking for location:• In the following year, with an enamel on plywood painting entitled Houdini, Wool continued his arbitrary paint application by dripping and spattering white paint onto a black surface. At first glance, Houdini looks like a Jackson Pollock achieved by recourse to the methods of John Cage: the evidently random drops of paint occasionally coalesce into larger, driplike patterns. One suspects that this adventitious painterliness was both too lush and too ambiguous for the artist, because for the next two years he produced paintings in which the application of paint was rigorously even. The result was paintings with allover compositions that although random were everywhere uniform, with no runs and only occasional larger dots of paint where one drop collided with another: Standing before such paintings for the first time is a curious experience.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • L'articulation De L'architecture Et Les Téchnologies Du Numériques
    Le rôle de la philosophie et des mathématiques dans le design paramétrique en architecture Mohammed Akazaf, Architecte Doctorant, Centre des Etudes Doctorales, Ecole Nationale d’Architecture de Rabat [email protected] Mouna M’hammedi Professeur Habilité, Centre des Etudes Doctorales, Ecole Nationale d’Architecture de Rabat, [email protected] Résumé L'architecture a toujours été caractérisée par des relations fortes et systématiques avec les inventions technologiques. Son histoire est bien documentée sur cette oscillation entre art et technique, deux polarités ayant chacune ses préoccupations et ses fondements philosophiques et fonctionnels. Nous sommes actuellement saisis par la diversité et l’originalité de l’architecture contemporaine à travers le monde, une architecture souvent caractérisée par des formes fluides et par des processus de réalisation non-standard. Le but de cet article est de jeter un éclairage sur les relations qui relient l’architecture aux technologies du numérique ; nous allons essayer d'expliquer comment cette mutation, générée par la révolution numérique, a été « co-pilotée » à l'origine par d'autres sciences telles que les mathématiques et la philosophie. Les signes de cette mutation remontent à la fin des années 60, années de l'avènement du microprocesseur et de la découverte en mathématiques d’autres types de géométries non euclidiennes. Il a fallu une vingtaine d’années, qui étaient nécessaires au développement des machines, pour qu'une poignée d'architectes américains adoptent ce qu’ils ont convenue comme la french theory de certains philosophes français pour définir de nouvelles écritures formelles pour l'architecture. L’esthétique architecturale du numérique design est désormais soumise à l'hégémonie de l'algorithme.

  • Mapping the Stylistic Affiliations of Le Corbusier's Work 0.1 Prologue
    Le Corbusier, 50 years later International Congress Valencia 18th-20lli November 2015 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.799 Mapping the Stylistic Affiliations of Le Corbusier's Work P. Ilias Panigyrakis TU Delft, School of Architecture and the Built Environment Abstract: The paper deals with Le Corbusier's connection to the term "style". A classification of his work in specific architectural styles is discussed, followed by a description of the procedure through which the style ofthe man Le Corbusier was constructed; in an attempt to search meaning in his continual stylistic shifts and the rationale that kept his lifetime's work and identity strongly compact when we consider him retrospectively. Resiimen: El articulo trata la conexión de Le Corbusier con el lérmino ëstilo'.'Se disciite una clasificación de su obra en estilos arqiiitectónicos especificos, seguido de una descripción de los procedimientos a través del ciial el hombre fiie construido al estilo de Le Corbusier; un intento de büsqueda de sentido en siis camhios estilisticos contimias y las razones que mantuvo el trabajo y la identiclad de su vida fuertemente compacta, cuando lo consideramos retrospectivamente Keywords: Le Corbusier; Style; Stylistic Shifts. Palabras clave: Le Corbusier; Estilo; Cambios Estilisticos. 0.1 Prologue It is said that Le Corbusier used to keep a picture of his 1914 Maison Dom-ino scheme side by side with a picture ofthe Parthenon from his 1911 visit in Athens. It is also known that he viciously fought against the talk of styles m the architectural discourse. How should we interpret then the above mentioned coupling of Dom-mo, the epitome of technique of the 20th century architecture, along with the Parthenon, the most imitated object of any iconographic style prior to Modernism? This research will argue for the stylistic affiliations of Le Corbusier's work in an attempt to map the trajectory of architectural forms applied hi the extensive work ofthe legendary architect.
