Le Centre Pompidou présente la plus grande rétrospective consacrée à ce jour au travail de Franz West (1947-2012) avec près de 200 œuvres. Conçu en collaboration avec la Tate Modern, cet événement est l'occasion d'évaluer la postérité de l'artiste autrichien, l'un des plus influents de ces cinquante dernières années. Réfléchissant aux questions esthétiques, inversant les notions de "laid" et de "beau", redéfinissant la sculpture par rapport au corps et au spectateur, Franz West qui se veut inclassable, occupe une place à part. Préfigurant le "trash", son œuvre irrévérencieuse mêle humour et subversion. La lecture de Freud et des philosophes tels Wittgenstein, Kant ou Deleuze, nourrit son travail dont émanent des manifestations et des indices de l'inconscient.

The volume Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 analyses death-related property transfers in several European regions (England, Poland, Italy, South Tirol, and Sweden). Laws and customary practice provided a legal framework for all post-mortem property devolution. However, personal preference and varied succession strategies meant that individuals could plan for death by various legal means. These individual legal acts could include matrimonial property arrangements (marriage contracts, morning gifts) and legal means of altering heirship by subtracting or adding heirs. Wills and testamentary practice are given special attention, while the volume also discusses the timing of the legal acts, suggesting that while some people made careful and timely arrangements, others only reacted to sudden events. Contributors are Christian Hagen, R.H. Helmholz, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Marko Lamberg, Margareth Lanzinger, Janine Maegraith, Federica Masè, Anthony Musson, Tuula Rantala, Elsa Trolle Önnerfors, and Jakub Wysmułek.
The OECD Guidelines for Citizen Participation Processes are intended for any public official or public institution interested in carrying out a citizen participation process. The guidelines describe ten steps for designing, planning, implementing and evaluating a citizen participation process, and discuss eight different methods for involving citizens: information and data, open meetings, public consultations, open innovation, citizen science, civic monitoring, participatory budgeting and representative deliberative processes. The guidelines are illustrated with examples as well as practical guidance built on evidence gathered by the OECD. Finally, nine guiding principles are presented to help ensure the quality of these processes.
This publication ably examines both the artist's ironic, punk sensibility and his original approach to materials, colours and forms. Also included are examples of his lesser-known drawings and works on paper.
