BAST have taken a proactive attitude to research in order to experiment with the diverse potentialities of each project. At each step of the design phase, they propose multiple different solutions. As a result, they do not follow a set formal method; instead, their projects go through an evolutionary process. BAST's architecture practice is located in Toulouse, France. The architects recall ideas of modern assemblage and montage: the structural unit is challenged by the superposition of logics, façade layers, colliding structures, sections. The overall logic derives from resemblances, things that look like something else, but are not exactly what we expect. These elements are mixed together. Controlling the resulting combination requires a very clear idea, because otherwise the building site can soon descend into chaos. The structural principle provides the logic, and the design sequence drives together these elements. Once the design principle has been defined, regardless of whether the window frame is here or there, the catalyst is already in place. The fragments can then be assembled with an eye to a promising future.Conversation with Jo Tailleau and Tiphaine Abenia. Photos by BAST.

Dank Marcel Duchamp wissen wir, dass alles zu Kunst werden kann und dem Denken hier keine Grenze gesetzt ist. Die erste umfassende Ausstellung seit zwei Jahrzehnten zeigt Duchamps Werke aus allen Schaffensphasen der Jahre 1902 bis 1968 zeigt. Über sein Frühwerk postimpressionistischer Gemälde, seine Karikaturen und Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kubismus bis zu seinen ikonischen Readymakes offenbart sich das Denken Duchamps. Er schuf mit einer ihm eigenen beharrlichen Genauigkeit und eigensinniger Anarchie Werke, die erst durch uns als Betrachtende ihre Vollendung finden. So verändert sich das Werk mit uns und in der Zeit.

Carla Juaçabas Büro arbeitet derzeit sowohl an öffentlichen als auch an privaten Projekten, vorwiegend Wohnungs- und Kulturbauten. Zu ihren ersten Arbeiten gehören eine Reihe von Häusern - Rio Bonito (2005), Varanda (2007), Minimal (2008) und Santa Teresa (2014) -, einige Ausstellungsdesigns und der ephemere Pavillon Humanidade in Rio de Janeiro, den sie zusammen mit der Bühnenbildnerin und Theaterregisseurin Bia Lessa entworfen hat. Mit dem Projekt Ballast wurde sie zur Architekturbiennale von Venedig 2018 eingeladen. Internationale Aufmerksamkeit erhielt Ihr Bau einer Kapelle Im Vatikan.

Aline Bouvy's catalogue takes the form of loitering, in that it is as much about sexual vagrancy and police patrols as stray dogs and queer flirtations.On the horizon of this poetic, transgressive deviation, we spy the utopia of a fluid sexuality which the visual artist assimilates less with pragmatic LGBT militancy than a permanent critique of the aesthetic and health codes which society uses to keep our bodies in check and contains its desires. Anticipating the end of mortifying inhibitions, her artistic approach undertakes an unbridled eroticisation of our environment by incorporating rundown materials, decadent postures and disused territories. Her multidisciplinary palette, alternating thermoformed Plexiglas, inlaid linoleums and remote-controlled vehicles, surprises the public through its infringement of good taste and its disregard for taboos.

Arquitectura-G is a young architectural studio based in Barcelona run by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, Igor Urdampilleta that began its professional career in the midst of the economic crisis, when public architecture competitions in Spain were paralyzed and the private initiative for housing construction was frozen. Their first works were apartment renovations in Barcelona, the few opportunities that the market offered at the time, but for a few years they have begun to build new buildings, such as the Luz house, for which they received the Mies van der Rohe Award for Emerging Architecture in 2015. His work moves between references to the local architecture of the 1970s and 80s and a new version of hedonistic Mediterranean architecture. In addition to their works around Barcelona, they have also built four stores for the fashion brand Acne (Nagoya, Stockholm, New York and Paris) and are currently working on a residential project in Portugal.

Interviews. Maria Lassnig 1919-2014 and Hans Ulrich Obrist were friends since the 1990s. Whenever the curator travelled to Vienna, where the artist lived, he would visit her in her studio and be served apple strudel.While they conversed about current projects, art and stages in her life and development, he was allowed to have a tape recorder and a camera running.Made between 1999 and 2012, these recordings are now being published for the first time in the form of a book.They are accompanied by an audience discussion together with Robert Fleck that was held at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Nantes at the beginning of the exhibition Maria
