The history of the visual arts and design reveals both conjunctions and divergences within these two fields. Their objectives are certainly different, but they also share common questions that go beyond a simple opposition between utility and uselessness. This dossier will therefore provide an opportunity to explore the areas where design and the visual arts can engage in dialogue, creating fruitful cross-fertilizations between the methods and processes specific to each field. - 2024/11

The increasing scarcity of resources and environmental constraints are having a major impact on design issues. What changes can be made to project design to take account of these vulnerabilities? These new forms of sobriety, far from impoverishing projects, allow them to be deployed in creative or even militant ways, opening up dynamic and lively perspectives. - 2024/05

Comment confronter, relire, remettre en question le rôle des femmes à la croisée des historiographies en sciences, arts et design ? Sans réduire les rôles dévolus à la création et à la recherche, mais au contraire en regardant les frottements, les confrontations, les nuances, les paradoxes et démarcations entre pratiques et savoirs, ce dossier propose de réfléchir les histoires ensemble, mais également leurs spécificités. - 2023/06

Design du peu, pratiques ordinaires constitutes act II of the thematic dossier devoted to the Arts of making. It questions the creative practices in a context of scarcity, reduction and lack, but also those who decide to make a deliberate choice out of the few means, a happy, critical, sometimes militant art of making, betting that a poetry can emanate from the few things. - 2021/12

The articles gathered in this issue give an account of the variety of ways of doing taken in situation in their mobility and their complexity. - 2021/11

Ce présent recueil de textes constitue une nécessité conceptuelle qui ne s’accomplit qu’à travers l’épreuve complémentaire du design. Réciproquement, les designers peuvent trouver du sens à ce travail de recherche comme autant d’éléments analytiques à disposition pour réinterroger les pratiques. - 2021/07

When we published the call for contributions "The design exhibition", we imagined receiving proposals which would question the specificities of design exhibitions by comparing them with art exhibitions, by returning to an experience of curating, by immersing oneself in the design project as an exhibition space ... Our intention was to lay the foundations for a comparative expology of design exhibitions: the articles collected did not disappoint our expectations. - 2020/12
