Summary:
The visual report ‘Activism Doubt,’ is the vibrant result of a series of public works where Jonas Staal and Harmen de Hoop used each other as performers for their respective works according to a number of agreed rules. This process resulted in a powerful mapping of artistic possibilities that engage with public space/the public domain, while also examining such questions as – is it possible to combine both political and artistic objectives?, and; what is the influence of the artist on the structure and usage of the public domain? Intriguing and engaging, the book is illustrated throughout and accompanied by interviews with the two artists, letters and explanatory notes.

Plus de quinze projets de paysage illustrés de photographies en couleur et de plans, documentés et commentés en détail par leurs architectes respectifs, offrent une mise à jour des connaissances de cette branche du design, utile au professionnel ou à l'étudiant impliqué dans la gestion du paysage. Les projets sélectionnés contiennent des concepts qui ont été appliqués à de nombreux contextes et à différentes échelles. Montagnes, vallées, environnements climatiques spécifiques et espaces de différents types se convertissent en une nouvelle forme d'expression artistique. La nature et l'art acquièrent une vision cosmologique à travers laquelle s'estompent les limites et surgissent de nouveaux environnements significatifs, qui exaltent les caractéristiques du milieu local et invitent les personnes à réévaluer le lieu dans lequel elles vivent.

Summary:
Coming out of an international symposium at Germany's University of St. Gallen and Hamburg's Kampnagel Culture Factory in 2007, this book addresses the question of how art affects urban space. ParCITYpate is a departure for artists, curators and innovative minds in the urban and spatial realms far from the beaten path of art theory and urban political dialogue. Bringing together the perspectives of international urban researchers and social scientists with artists, art theorists and curators, this fertile collection offers new ideas on the effects of urban art projects and their interaction with urban culture, development, economics and politics. Beyond praise or criticism, artistic interventions take part in the production of city space by opening new possibilities for urban action.

Summary:
Topotek 1 is one of Germany's internationally best-known landscape architecture firms. Rosemarie Trockel has made a name for herself through highly unconventional works that have been exhibited in New York, Chicago, at documenta Kassel, the Venice Biennale, and elsewhere. The new and extremely playful park in Munich is the result of a collaboration between them. It covers a three-hundred-meter section of railroad tracks and creates urgently needed open space for the neighborhood of Theresienhohe. In addition to the design, technically demanding questions like the approach to statics, acoustics, and traffic safety also needed to be solved. This monograph examines the new park design in a number of essays and documents the design and production process.

Summary:
When recession-plagued New York City abandoned its industrial base in the 1970s, performance artists, photographers, and filmmakers found their own mixed uses for the city's run-down lofts, abandoned piers, vacant lots, and deserted streets. Gordon Matta-Clark turned a sanitation pier into the celebrated work Day's End and Betsy Sussler filmed its making; the photographic team Shunk-Kender shot a vast series of images of Willoughby Sharp's Projects: Pier 18 (which included work by Vito Acconci, Mel Bochner, Dan Graham, Matta-Clark, and William Wegman, among others); and Cindy Sherman staged some of her Untitled Film Stills on the streets of Lower Manhattan. This publication documents and illustrates these projects as well as more recent work by artists who continue to engage with the city's public, underground, and improvised spaces. The book (which accompanies a major exhibition) focuses on several important photographic series: Peter Hujar's 1976 nighttime photographs of Manhattan's West Side; Alvin Baltrop's Hudson River pier photographs from 1975-1985, most of which have never before been shown or published; David Wojnarowicz's Rimbaud in New York (1978-1979), the first of Wojnarowicz's works to be published; and several of Zoe Leonard's photographic projects from the late 1990s on. The book includes 70 color and 130 black-and-white images, a chronology of the policy decisions and developments that altered the face of New York City from 1950 to the present; an autobiographical story by David Wojnarowicz; and essays by Johanna Burton, Lytle Shaw, Juan Suarez, and the exhibition's curators, Lynne Cooke and Douglas Crimp.
