In the form of a catalog raisonné, this monograph lists all the works of Nina Childress, painter and head of the studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris - from her first painting in 1980 to those of 2020. The phosphorescent cover of the book recalls the recent works. The reproductions follow one another in a systematic chronological order. They are meticulously captioned: year, medium, dimensions, location (public or private, destroyed or lost paintings), exhibitions, publications. Paintings for which there is no photo are replaced by a green background.

Public. Infrastructure, architecture, territoire. analyzes the defeat, persistence or defense of what linked infrastructure, public good and territorial identity. It observes what has changed or is changing about the public in terms of architectural, urban and territorial life and organization through the analysis of researchers, architects, urban planners, engineers, historians and sociologists.

 

Niele Toroni was born in 1937 in Muralto (Ticino) on Lake Maggiore. He has lived in Paris since 1959. Toroni is a painter. His method is simple and intangible: "When I intervene as a painter, I show brush prints n°50 repeated at regular intervals of 30 cm, and it is never the same thing".


Editing Niele Toroni's "things written, published (or not)" is a paradox, because he claims to be essentially a painter, and not an artist, much less a writer.
