Summary:
The utopian impulse informs politically activist and relational art, practices that fuse elements of art, design, and architecture, and collaborative projects aspiring to progressive social or political change. Two other tendencies have emerged in recent art: a looking backward to investigate the utopian elements of previous eras, and the imaginative modeling of alternative worlds as intimations of possibility. This anthology contextualizes these utopian currents in relation to political thought, viewing the utopian as a key term in the artistic lineage of modernity. It illuminates how the exploration of utopian themes in art today contributes to our understanding of contemporary cultures, and the possibilities for shaping their futures.

The drawings, which are always printed within publications and never exhibited on their own, explore the distinctions between high and low culture, art and entertainment, and critical and commercial art. In addition to previously published cartoons, Ü includes a large number of drawings made specifically for it. The mixture of styles, and general interest with art-world topics, is the result of Westphalen's exploration of the overlap between the terms 'joke', 'cartoon', and 'art'." With a conversation between the artist and Dan Graham.

''Fish Story'' reconstructed a realist model of photographic representation, while taking a critical stance towards traditional documentary photography. It also marked Sekula's ?rst sustained exploration of the ocean as a key space of globalisation. A key issue in ''Fish Story'' is the connection between containerized cargo movement and the growing internationalization of the world industrial economy, with its effects on the actual social space of ports. This new edition of the long out-of-print seminal publication includes a new introduction by Professor Laleh Khalili (SOAS University).

Now Moiré Index is dedicated to his exploration of the moiré effect a phenomenon that can be created by the overlay of lines. Although such interference patterns are mostly considered to be unwanted side effects, they are actually extremely interesting from an aesthetic perspective. Based upon years of research, Nicolai has analyzed and systematically unlocked fundamental structures of crucial importance to the visualization of data. A CD accompanies the book and contains not only the featured moirés as digital files, but also individual elements that can be used to create an almost endless amount of new overlays.

Antoni Gaudi's unique naturalistic style has made him one of the most famous architects of all time. But even with that high level of reknown, the impulse behind the Catalan architect/artist s well-known works remains shrouded in mystery. Eminent Dutch architectural historian Jan Molema lifts that veil through an exploration of Gaudi's transformation from architect to self-willed artist. By shedding light on Gaudi's artistic influences such as Art Nouveau, his pioneering use of organic shapes and materials, as well as his all-important structural ingenuity, we come to understand not only what made Gaudi so revolutionary but also what his many buildings mean symbolically.

A profusely illustrated exploration of a previously neglected subject, this book is neither a polemic against dams nor a defence of their proliferation. It offers a fresh and much-needed account of their design, construction and function, which will appeal to dam engineers, environmentalists, historians and students, as well as those who previously recognized only The Dambusters march.
