In 1970, Marcel Broodthaers claimed that Mallarma is the source of all contemporary art. Those words serve as a departure point for the exhibition and catalogue, Art and Utopia. Based on Marcel Broodthaers's interpretation of and Mallarma's influence on such seminal figures of modernity as Artaud and Apollinaire, this book reinterprets 20th century art, from Cubism to the historical avant-garde movements to the art of the 1970s, questioning the very idea of modernity. The information contained in this catalogue is highly varied--in addition to an essay by Jean-Francois Chevrier, the publication includes abundant documentary material, poetry, and other literary texts, as well as reproductions of the works from the exhibition.

Delaware is, by their own definition, a "Japanese supersonic group Ýthat¿ designs-rocks and rocks-designs." They also call themselves "Artoonists." Since 1993, the collaborative has displayed their retro-futurism across a range of contemporary products, including music CDs, CD-ROMs, commercials, magazines, T-shirts, websites, live shows, and mobile phones. Delaware is four: Masato Samata, tape recordist, vocalist, lyricist, composer, art director, and designer; Aya Honda, bassist, vocalist, composer, and designer; Morihiro Tajiri, guitarist, bassist, drummer, vocalist, composer, and recordist; and Yoshiki Watanabe, guitarist, vocalist, sound programmer, phone ringer, and composer.

The other defines us while we define ourselves--sometimes we try to control this by defining the other. So Matei Glass proposes through the photographic journal he began when he first visited Israel 29 years ago, at the age of 14. The son of Holocaust survivors, whose support for a Jewish state could be nothing less than unquestioning, Glass has long felt the need to fill in the blanks in his personal and collective memory. It was this impetus that brought him and his camera to Palestine again and again, to photograph the other and thereby help define himself. Over the years, through the rolls of film, he began to know much more of Israel's "forgotten twin," more of that other considered by some but no longer by him as an enemy, a danger, a terrorist.

Daniel Canogar's photographs and photographic installations have long dwelt on issues of immersion and realism, of corporeal images and sensations, of light instrumentalized to reveal figments and traces of visual matter. His consistent use of photography undermines and transcends simple questions of photographic realism through play and variable scales, obsessive pseudo-repetition, and disconcerting projection procedures and surfaces. The Zero Gravity opus contains Departure, a forest of manipulable fiber optic cables that obliges spectators to blaze their own image trails; Pulse of Darkness projects an endless wall-to-wall loop of photographed bones; and Leap of Faith adopts a panoramic cylindrical structure as an ethereal white surface charged with dozens of floating bodies. Daniel Canogar was born in 1964 in Madrid, where he continues to live and work. He studied visual communications and received a Master's in photography from New York University and the International Center for Photography.

OAB draws on the collaborative nature of the Carlos Ferrater previous studio, incorporating new ways of understanding the contributions of each team member to generate richer and more varied, prepared and flexible projects. The creation of this new platform attempts to address the challenges that contemporary architecture has raised in intellectual, social, technological, and environmental spheres.The contents are organized as a collection of chapters that turn the spotlight on both projects and recently built works. These convey a willingness to work in different scenarios, expanding and enriching the range of proposals in the pursuit of new avenues of formal expression. The book covers the theoretical aspects of each project, focusing on innovation, research, and the application of new technologies. At the same time, as we explore each project's development, emphasis is placed upon context, the building's objectives, and the social roots of the architect's work.

27 Länder aus dem Blickwinkel des Fotografen Jordi Bernadó, der Räume und belebte Landschaften sammelt, teils lustig, teils maßlos, bisweilen abartig. Seine Sicht zeigt uns eine Welt, in der das Leben jedes einzelne der Elemente, die anfangs geordnet erschienen, verändert. Die visuelle Tour des Autors entführt uns in die weite Ferne und macht uns zu Mitreisenden, zu Komplizen dieser besonderen, von ihm kreierten Betrachtungsweise. Jordi Bernadó tritt als Gelehrter, Historiker, Architekt und Soziologe auf, meistens jedoch als Erzähler. Er beherrscht die Farbwelten perfekt und bedient sich des umfassenden Vokabulars der Dokumentarfotografie.
