Considéré comme l'architecte le plus visionnaire de son temps, Louis KAHN construisit certains édifices les plus importants du 20ème siècle. Après sa mort en 1974, il apparut que KAHN avait mené quatre vies à la fois : son travail, sa famille régulière, mais aussi deux autres femmes et les enfants qu'elles lui avait donnés. Nathaniel KAHN - fils d'Harriet Pattison, une architecte paysagiste qui travaillait dans le cabinet de Louis - avait 11 ans quand son père mourut. Trente ans après, avec My Architect, il part à la recherche de son père et reconstruit, à travers les visites de ses plus grands chefs-d’œuvre, les interviews de ses illustres confrères et les témoignages émouvants de sa famille, le portrait d'un homme complexe et attachant...

Burden

2016 88 min 13 vues

Chris Burden s’est fait un nom dans les annales de l’histoire de l’art en réalisant des exploits physiques qui laisseront vos mains devant vos yeux. Il pousse les limites de son corps et de son esprit au non de l’art et non de la magie. Une fois, on lui a tiré dessus, puis on l’a électrocuté, enfermé dans un casier pendant cinq jours et crucifié à l’arrière d’une Volkswagen. Et ce n’est que le début de son évolution en tant qu’artiste. Burden a été amené à étendre ses curiosités artistiques en créant des installations et des sculptures, d’un volant auto-tournant, à une installation de lumière antique à l’énergie solaire à l’extérieur du LACMA à Los Angeles. Les réalisateurs plongent profondément dans la vie et le travail follement excentriques de Burden en montrant un mélange de ses performances des années 70, des vidéos personnelles, des enregistrements audio, des interviews franches, couplé à ses pensées compliquées documentées au fil des années.

2006 83 min 20 vues

Quand Frank Gehry, un des architectes les plus ingénieux de notre époque demande à son ami, par ailleurs grande pointure du cinéma, de réaliser un long-métrage sur sa vie et son Œuvre, on obtient un doux mélange de didactisme et d’intimisme. Sydney Pollack, cinéaste néophyte en documentaire et en architecture, tente de nous livrer les clefs des œuvres et du processus de création de Frank Gehry dans une atmosphère décontractée. Il choisit les esquisses de l’architecte comme point de départ de ce documentaire. Sous l’œil effaré du spectateur, des gribouillis plus qu’abstraits se transforment en bricolage en carton puis en immenses bâtiments qui s’érigent dans les paysages urbains des quatre coins du monde.

The Making of an Avant-Garde presents the creation and existence of the IAUS in the architectural, cultural, and political climate of the time, from the anti-War riots, the Women's Movement to the Paris May '68 revolution and the crime ridden and the bankrupt New York City of the 70's, through rich and abundant footage. The Institute, founded in 1967 with close ties to The Museum of Modern Art, made New York the global center for architectural debate and redefined architectural discourse in the United States. A place of immense energy and effervescence, its founders and participants were young and hardly known at the time but would ultimately become some of the most influential figures in the field shaping architectural practice and theory for decades. The Institute became the most significant and energetic crossroad in the path of rethinking architecture and the city and it's influence is still felt today.
