In Pages 7 In Translation the editors look at translation as an instance of cultural practice and of political agency. This space is not only found between languages or among cultures, but may be sought, for example, in the spatial and political arrangements of public and private spaces of cities, as communal or individual identities, in representations of state media, and in artistic practice itself.

Pages 6 Eventual Spaces includes re-prints of magazine and newspaper clippings that reflect conflicts of architecture, design, predicaments of the social engagement of art, ideological convictions and displacements in art, and the discontinuities in modernist paradigms and their practices.

What determines our place in history? If it is the past, there we also find the material support with which we reconstitute our historical place. Our relation to history remains retrospective, but also anticipatory.
Events begin with a break from history. But they soon are recaptured by it and fetishized as historical triumphs or failures. Still something remains of past events that, although conditioned by history, is irreducible to it: a surplus that finds way to our time, something out of time that forces us to actively anticipate a renewing in past events.
