Inaki Bonillas
In 2003, Mexican artist Iñaki Bonillas introduced the photographic archive belonging to his grandfather, José Rodríguez Plaza, into his work. Its content which, since that time, has undergone a wide range of operations, has permitted him to combine elements that seemed, a priori, incompatible: on the one hand, a personal, biographical narrative, consisting of anecdotes and rather personal character notes; and, on the other, a quasi-scientific sense of compilation and classification. Conceptualised as a kind of catalogue raisonné, J.R. Plaza Archive sets out to assemble a series of theoretical and literary digressions by a number of writers, philosophers, and poets, on 20 of the works that Bonillas has created from the material of this archive - a vast collection of images. The publication is part of the series of artists' projects edited by Christoph Keller.
Inaki Bonillas
La Idea del Norte: Picos is inspired by and based on Carl Andre's untitled 25 pages contribution for the famous Xerox Book, one of the most revered artists' publication ever that has been conceived as an exhibition in print and published in New York in 1968 by Seth Siegelaub and John W. Wendler.Randomly placed and progressively accumulation empty squares have been filled in by Bonillas with 25 photographs of the world's highest mountain peaks to contrast the flat shapes by Andre. Page by page, 'the conquest of a snowy mountain (to be climbed)' becomes also the conquest of a blank page (to be filled) - as described so beautifully by Maria Minera.In contrast to this the other half of each spread shows excerpts of the series La Idea del Norte: Hielos. Here we see an illusion of floating ice floes, gradually melting and drifting away from each other. Bonillas used here the photocopier's glass as if it were the sea and the shattered pieces of white crockery as the moving icebergs.By combining those two works in one book Iñaki Bonillas establishes a contradictory reading: from white to black, from blank to full, from solid to ephemeral.
Proof
Proof is the ninth in an annual series of publications that features the best young practicing architects as selected by the Architectural League of New York in their annual Young Architects competition. Competition entrants wereasked to use the theme "proof" to frame their portfolios and critically evaluate their work. This required creating projectsthat acknowledge architectural design as a unique process that begins with a speculation and gains traction through the subsequent testing, confirming, checking, and rechecking that occurs before and after designs encounter the real world. Eachof the winners—Aranda/Lasch, Jinhee Park, ludens, PARA, PRODUCTORA, and Uni Architecture—confronted this year's theme with work that is original, and inspiring.
Learning from Madness
Throughout the history of European modernism, philosophers and artists have been fascinated by madness. Something different happened in Brazil, however, with the “art of the insane” that flourished within the modernist movements there. From the 1920s to the 1960s, the direction and creation of art by the mentally ill was actively encouraged by prominent figures in both medicine and art criticism, which led to a much wider appreciation among the curators of major institutions of modern art in Brazil, where pieces are included in important exhibitions and collections. Kaira M. Cabañas shows that at the center of this advocacy stood such significant proponents as psychiatrists Osório Cés...
The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models
Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination, communication, and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models, and their ownership, placement, and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings, this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship, questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging, well-known, and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices, the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites...
