			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently spend five long weeks in my hometown: Montreal. The funny thing is I came to Montreal almost as a foreigner i.e. through the Canadian Center for Architecture  (CCA) summer research grant program. Indeed, I spend four weeks researching in the CCA’s Study centre with other scholars and students from everywhere in Europe and America. This great experience helped me to somehow see my city through a different lens.</p>
<p>In Montreal &#8211; as everywhere else, I assume- some things just don’t change! Yet other things do get better, cleaner, sunnier…Her is a list of my impressions aS a tourist in my own town:</p>
<p>I was impressed by:</p>
<p>-The Quartier des Spectacles and its new place des festivals (http://www.quartierdesspectacles.com/)</p>
<p>-The 747 buses going directly from city centre to Pierre Eliot Trudeau’s airport in less than 20 minutes (and free if you have a public transport card) (http://www.stm.info/english/info/a-747.htm)</p>
<p>-The Bixi (and their successful exportation in many cities such as Washington and now…London!) (http://www.bixi.com/home)</p>
<p>-Some newly refurbished and very colorful parks for children (amongst other in Côte-des-Neige area)</p>
<p>-The mille End neighborhood (especially the English Breakfasts at the Sparrow)</p>
<p>-The new graphic identity of STM (Société des transports de Montréal)</p>
<p>I was not impressed by:</p>
<p>-The number of closed shops and the state of Decay of the Boulevard St-Laurent</p>
<p>-The size of houses (after a few years in Europe, you start wondering how it is possible that people need that much space…)</p>
<p>- Horrible blocks for elderly people such as Vista (an upscale residence for Active Senior) built on the corner of Boul Decarie and Chemin Côte St-Luc…How is this possible?!?</p>
<p>-The quantity of people that still don’t have a mobile phone (hello…its 2010!)</p>

<p>Yesterday I went to the opening of &#8216;The Surreal House&#8217; at the Barbican Gallery. I don&#8217;t have much time to comment on the show and I would certainly be bias &#8211; I worked as a research assistant for the exhibition. Yet I didn&#8217;t worked on the installation and catalogue so it was a great surprise to see everything installed in the Barbican art Gallery &#8211; the space of the gallery being completely subverted by architects Carmody Groarke. It is quite impressive to see pieces such as the Tschumi adverts,  drawings and models for slow house (Diller &amp; Scofidio), or Hejduk original drawings and models. Another interesting feature of the show is its inclusion of many pieces by the franco-American artist Louise Bourgeois, who died a few days ago.  Go see the show! It is on until September. (I am very curious to see the first review&#8230;.)</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;You are invited to inhabit <em>The Surreal House</em>, a mysterious dwelling infused with  subjectivity and desire. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Step inside a labyrinth of chambers,  designed by acclaimed young architects Carmody Groarke, and experience <em>The Surreal </em><em>House </em>- its haunted  rooms, delirious forms, blasted architecture and cinematic dreamscapes &#8211;  featuring a host of artists, architects and film makers including Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, René Magritte, Man Ray, Joseph Cornell and Maya  Deren through to more contemporary figures, among them; Louise Bourgeois, Rebecca Horn, Edward Kienholz and Rem Koolhaas&#8217; </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok&#8230;today I am writing in English. Let&#8217;s be bilingual.</p>
<p>I finally handed out a chapter on Friday, but yet, of course there are tons of other small things to too piling on the desk. Papers, written months ago, coming back with more editing to do; admin stuff that needs to be sorted out; archival research to prepare, etc. So on this wonderful sunny Saturday I spend a few hours in front of the computer. And when I decided to take a break for dinner and open the TV on BBC (something are hardly ever do) I found&#8230;a documentary about Venice!!! Impossible to take this city out of my life ; )</p>
<p>Yet I have to say, I was happily surprised. I know it might sound very naive to most British as I think Francesco&#8217;s Venice is a program played by the BBC for years now&#8230;but I didn&#8217;t know about it! I immediately texted my best venetian-in-London friend Stefania&#8230;and found out she was also watching Francesco! Today, BBC was presenting the fourth and last episode of Francesco&#8217;s series: Death (the other ones are Beauty, Sex, and Blood).</p>
<p>Followed a discussion with Stefania, about the slow sinking of our favorite place on earth (but not only the physical sinking, rather its sinking under the huge troupes of tourists).What shall be done? Making tourists pay an entrance fee upon arrival at Marco Polo, Ferrovia or Piazzale Roma? Well then the sentence &#8216;at what time does Venice close&#8217; (apparently heard for an American tourist&#8217;s mouth) would take all its sense. And it would be even sadder. Completely close Venice to tourism? Well, that seems impossible now&#8230;that so many Venetian have quit the Island. Nop! As an old Venetian said in the documentary: &#8216;Purtroppo ormai abbiamo raggiunto il punto di no ritorno&#8217;</p>
<p>Francesco&#8217;s Venice was produced by the BBC and obviously with a certain English perspective, yet Francesco is a true Venetian&#8230;.Francesco Da Mosta, according to Stefania, one of the oldest families of Venice. I order the complete season on Amazone. So let see if the other episodes are as good as &#8216;Death&#8217;.</p>
<p>In the meantime, here is a few minutes of Blood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hier j&#8217;ai assisté à la &#8216;UK premiere&#8217; du spectacle body remix de la compagnie Marie Chouinard. Ce spectacle créé en 2005 pour la Biennale de Danse de Venise était présenté le 7 et 8 mai a Sadler&#8217;s Wells (à deux pas de chez moi). C&#8217;était la deuxième fois que j&#8217;assistais à cette performance, mais j&#8217;ai trouvé ça tout aussi magnifique qu&#8217;il y a cinq ans, alors que j&#8217;avais vu le spectacle à ses débuts, à la Place de Arts de Montréal. la présentation de Body Remix à Londres mettait fin à une tournée Européenne de plusieurs semaines et Marie Chouinard elle-même est venu saluer la salle et ses danseurs après la représentation. Inquiétante étrangeté, béquilles de la vie, mal des corps, équilibre précaires, à la fois violence et tendresse, ce spectacle a semblé ravir la salle (qui était d&#8217;ailleurs comble).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Je viens de rentrer de Paris où j’ai assisté au vernissage l’exposition Dreamlands des parcs d’attraction aux cités du futur au centre Pompidou. Rien a voir avec les exposition d’architecture monographiques des dernières années (Piano, Morphosis, Perrault, etc). Cette exposition propose de revisiter l’architecture post-moderne dont elle situe l’origine dans les constructions ludiques des foires universelles…De Learning From Las Vegas en Passant par Delirious New York, Disney World, le Fun Palace et, sans oublier, ma chère Strada Novissima, les commissaires de l’expo (Quentin Béjac et Didier Ottinger) se rendent jusqu’aux utopies devenues réalité (ou presque) de Dubaï et autres cités du désert.</p>
<p>“Présentée dans la grande galerie du Centre Pompidou du 5 mai au 9 août 2010, l&#8217;exposition Dreamlands développe un propos inédit: montrer comment les modèles de foires internationales, d&#8217;expositions universelles et de parcs de loisirs ont influencé la conception de la ville et de ses usages.”</p>
<p>Cette exposition, qui est certainement tout sauf ennuyante, propose également quelques oeuvres contemporaines. L’ajout est, selon moi, plus ou moins convaincant, mis à part peut-être les photos de Martin Parr et l’oeuvre ‘Nothing Stops a New Yorker’ de l’artiste Malachi Farrell (quelques gratte-ciel en carton en pleine séance de danse aérobique judicieusement placés dans un angle de la galerie d’exposition qui ouvre sur une vue du tout Paris).</p>
<p>Cet été, le Pompidou propose le retour de la pop justifié par un narratif historique bien ficelé…Moi j’aime! Mais c’est sûrement aussi un peu dû à une déformation professionnelle sévère ; )</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bonjour!</p>
<p>Une amie vient de m&#8217;écrire un message sur facebook&#8230;Une histoire de futon qui doit être re-localisé. Hors, elle m&#8217;écrit: &#8220;ps. J&#8217;adore ton blog. Est-ce que tu prends toutes les photos? Il faudra que tu me donnes des tips. Je pense upgrader mon appareil <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8221; J&#8217;avais presque oublié que avoir mis, sur ma page facebook, un lien vers szacka_blog. Je vais voir: mon dernier billet date de Novembre 2008! Que c&#8217;est-il passé depuis? et bien j&#8217;ai probablement décidé qu&#8217;il était temps de me mettre sérieusement au PhD (et sérieusement est un bien grand mot parce que j&#8217;ai aussi depuis participer à plusieurs conférence, publié, participer à la ré-édition du post-modern reader de Charles Jencks, travaillé a temps partiel sur deux expositions au Barbican, commencé à enseigner l&#8217;architecture à temps partiel, etc, etc, etc) Donc, bref, j&#8217;ai un peu oublié mon blog. Mais là, je pense, tout d&#8217;un coup, que j&#8217;ai envie de m&#8217;y remettre. En Français, en Anglais, souvent, pas souvent, photos, pas photos, je ne suis pas encore certaine, mais advienne que pourra. Peut-être que ce blog m&#8217;aidera aussi à sortir un peu du cocon &#8216;je termine la rédaction d&#8217;une thèse de 300 pages dans une langue qui n&#8217;est pas la mienne&#8217;, parce que je dois dire que ce cocon est parfois pénible et ne me fait pas sortir de chez moi très souvent. Pourtant, je suis à Londres&#8230;<br />
Alors, voilà, merci Valérie et aux autres, à très bientôt j&#8217;espère!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">11e Biennale d&#8217;architecture de Venise: une grande fête sous la pluie</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9pt;color:#c0c0c0;">Édition <a href="http://www.ledevoir.com/2008/09/16/" target="_blank"><span>du mardi 16 septembre 2008</span></a></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;"><span style="font-size:9pt;color:#c0c0c0;">Mots clés : Biennale, Venise, Archiecture, Culture, Italie (pays)</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;color:#c0c0c0;">Que peut être l&#8217;architecture au-delà des simples constructions? C&#8217;est la question à laquelle tente de répondre la 11e exposition internationale d&#8217;architecture de la Biennale de Venise qui se tiendra dans la Mecque italienne du tourisme jusqu&#8217;au 23 novembre 2008. Pour lancer l&#8217;événement, les architectes du monde entier s&#8217;étaient donné rendez-vous à Venise le week-end dernier. Bilan: quelques belles surprises, un pavillon du Canada un peu décevant et, surtout, beaucoup de pluie.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:14.4pt;">
<p style="line-height:14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;color:#c0c0c0;">La Biennale de Venise est une institution qui, depuis plus d&#8217;un siècle, organise tous les deux ans une exposition internationale d&#8217;art. Or, depuis 1980, la Biennale présente aussi, à intervalle régulier, une exposition internationale d&#8217;architecture. Ainsi, la Biennale d&#8217;architecture de Venise est une sorte de gigantesque exposition thématique doublée de pavillons nationaux et d&#8217;une foule d&#8217;événements parallèles.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Cette année, le conservateur en chef de l&#8217;événement est Aaron Betsky, un journaliste et critique d&#8217;architecture d&#8217;origine américaine qui a fait ses études aux Pays-Bas, où il est maintenant directeur du Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Intitulée Out There Architecture Beyond Building, l&#8217;édition 2008 de la Biennale propose une réflexion qui va au-delà de l&#8217;acte de construire. Ainsi, Betsky a voulu rappeler au public de l&#8217;exposition que l&#8217;architecture est une entreprise culturelle trop souvent soumise à une foule de contraintes techniques. En d&#8217;autres mots, que l&#8217;architecture est la façon de penser et de parler des choses que nous construisons, mais aussi la manière de les représenter et de les réaliser.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">L&#8217;exposition thématique qui se tient dans les corderies de l&#8217;Arsenal (une usine de bateau reconvertie en immense espace d&#8217;exposition) rassemble plusieurs installations de grande échelle par quelques-unes des stars de l&#8217;architecture de ce monde: Asymptote, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Greg Lynn, MVRDV, Massimiliano Fuksas, etc. En plus de cela, 56 pays ont leur pavillon national à la Biennale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Cette année, le grand prix du meilleur pavillon est allé à la Pologne qui présentait Hotel Polonia: The Afterlife of Buildings, une réflexion sur l&#8217;avenir des édifices. Également intéressant, le pavillon de la Belgique qui, avec «1907&#8230; after the party», nous convie à une célébration minimaliste du pavillon belge, le tout premier espace d&#8217;exposition national à être construit pour la Biennale. La République tchèque quant à elle présente Side Ways, une amusante exposition représentant le mode de vie de divers ménages à partir du contenu de leur réfrigérateur.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Au pavillon du Canada, on peut voir 41º à 66º L&#8217;Architecture au Canada &#8212; Région, culture et tectonique, une exposition imaginée par les conservateurs Marco Polo et John McMinn (tout deux professeurs d&#8217;architecture dans la région de Toronto). Ainsi, en présentant 36 projets par 27 firmes d&#8217;architectes du pays, les commissaires canadiens ont voulu parler de thèmes qui, selon eux, vont au-delà des édifices: le contexte, le pouvoir du paysage et les archétypes culturels nationaux, tels l&#8217;igloo ou la maison longue. Pourtant, un peu décevante, la participation du Canada cette année ne semble pas se démarquer du lot et aurait gagné à être visuellement plus soignée.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Si les journalistes et architectes venus du monde entier pour voir la Biennale d&#8217;architecture ont eu droit à un climat estival lors du premier jour de l&#8217;inauguration, il en fut tout autrement pour la journée du samedi. En effet, cette année, une pluie diluvienne est venue gâcher la grande fête vénitienne. Parce que, après tout, Venise sous la pluie, ce n&#8217;est plus que de l&#8217;eau à perte de vue!</span></p>
