"We call material all that is, all that is produced in the real world, in man as well as outside of man, and we apply the name ideal exlusively to the products of man's cerebral action; but as our brain is a wholly material organization, and as, consequently, all is functions are material (...), it follows that what we call matter or material world (...) does inevitably include the ideal.”
Published three times per year by the Palais de Tokyo, PALAIS magazine offers an in-depth perspective on the exhibitions and program of the Palais de Tokyo. Each season, the magazine includes dossiers, interviews, essays, special projects and inserts, all contributed by artists, art critics, historians or theorists, making PALAIS magazine an essential tool for apprehending contemporary art.
Contents of this issue: essays by Matthieu Poirier on Julio Le Parc, Niklas Maak on François Curlet, Dieter Roelstraete and Yann Chateigné Tytelman on recent works by Joachim Koester, Amélie Lavin on Dewar & Gicquel; a visual contribution by Evariste Richer; a focus on seven artists from the emerging contemporary scene (Marcos Avila Forero, Hicham Berrada, Gauthier Leroy, Lars Morell, Jean-Michel Pancin, Pierre Paulin, Clémence Seilles); under the heading "Hell as discussion," Nadja Argyropoulou, curator, and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis, architect, discuss Greece's "demonization" as a symptom of the European crisis. PALAIS also invites François Piron, curator of the exhibition "New Impressions of Raymond Roussel," to create a dossier in dialogue with this venture. In it, he comments on the writer's whimsical personality and on his mysterious work in which, as Roussel stated, "Nothing real can be allowed to enter." Accompanied by historians of art or literature, by critics and artists, Piron approaches the topic diagonally to consider the propagation of Roussel's work through that of many artists. Main dossier conceived by François Piron, with texts by Lorenzo Benedetti (on Mark Manders), Marie de Brugerolle (addressing the subject of Roussel's Californian heritage), Bernard Marcadé (on the congruencies between Duchamp and Roussel), Alain Quella-Villéger (on the relationship between Roussel and Loti), and including an excerpt from Rodney Graham's "Roussel-ian" novel.

Jan Hoek has photographed amateur models, mentally ill homeless people in Africa, a girl with no arms and legs, a heroin addict who dreams of being a model, or people he has simply found in advertisements on the internet. The photo shoot is never what he expected, model and photographer always have different expectations. The model actually wants sex while Jan Hoek wants to shoot the dog. The model tries to be as glamorous as possible, while Jan wants to picture the decay. Photographing is not just about the image but also the relationship between the photographer and the model.

For several years, Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have organized evenings for friends in which they share the strangest photo books in their collections. The books shown are rarely available in regular shops, but are picked up in thrift stores and from antiquaries. The group's fascination for these pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. It's only in this area that it's possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. What's noticeable from these publications is that there's a thin line between being terrible and being awesome. This constant tension makes the books interesting. It's also worth noting that these tomes all fall within certain categories: the medical, instructional, scientific, sex, humour or propaganda. Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have made a selection of their finest books from within this questionable new genre.

This volume compiles all of the photographs from Terry Richardson's wildly successful 2012 show Terrywood, held at the OHWOW gallery in Los Angeles. Terrywood is the photographer's vision of everything that Hollywood has meant and continues to mean in the public imagination: grand-scale glitz, big-budget glamour-and of course the awards ceremonies, in homage to which Richardson produced a series of ten award statuettes for the show, fashioned in his own bespectacled likeness. These works and all of the photographs included in the exhibition are reproduced here, alongside documentation of the year-long process of planning the exhibition, and coverage of the opening night, which was attended by celebrities such as Tom Ford, James Franco, Odd Future, Sasha Grey, Paris Hilton, Paz de la Huerta, Jared Leto, Lindsay Lohan and Frank Ocean, and which has already become legendary as one of the glitziest opening nights in recent memory. Terrywood also includes texts by Jeffrey Deitch and Al Moran.

Made originally for an exhibition which should have taken place in Greece but didn't, this series of photocopy collages by the Swiss artists and photographers Linus Bill and Adrien Horni is striking for its abstract poetry. The riso printing method specific to Hato Press adds further dimension to the pieces.

For the first issue of Printed Pages we've got eight features that we hope you'll enjoy as much as we loved putting them together. We spoke to Sagmeister and Walsh about their professional partnership one year on and we also interviewed the brilliant Chris Ware to better understand how he goes about telling stories with images. We turned the tables on Apartamento founder Omar Sosa and we tracked down three of the most interesting and exciting graphic design agencies riding the crest of a creative wave in Barcelona. We met Jon Goode, who illustrated Guess Who? and My Little Pony among others and we found out how young filmmaker Hanly Banks made a documentary about famously shy singer Bill Callahan. We looked at some of the world's best sculpture parks and we delved into Why Not Associates' amazing collection of old slides. Letters of Note founder Shaun Usher wrote the introductory Nice piece and Emily Kai Bock shared with us the unlikely beauty of security lighting. So that's us really. How are things with you?

From 1992 to 1995 Ron Jude (b. 1965, American) photographed American businessmen in the financial districts of Atlanta, Chicago, New York and San Francisco. Revisiting this amazingly powerful, yet delicate series with a renewed sense of urgency and relevance, we are thrilled to publish this work for the first time in book form.
