Summary:
Voilà maintenant quarante ans que le graffiti moderne s'est emparé de nos métropoles. Tendance de l'art urbain, le sticker art a connu un développement récent tel qu'il supplante parfois le graffiti classique. Tout en introduisant une forme d'expression nouvelle, les autocollants et affiches, faciles et rapides à coller, permettent une diffusion sensiblement plus importante. Expliquer l'incroyable ascension du sticker art tout en retraçant de manière engageante une scène vaste et mouvante est l'une des premières ambitions de ce livre. C'est donc un échantillon de techniques et d'artistes qui est présenté ici, des pionniers tels Swoon, Shepard Fairey et Invader, jusqu'aux stars montantes.

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.

Summary:
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.
