Summary:
A show challenging conventional understandings of public art, Culture in Action in Chicago had a new social agenda, and rethought what an exhibition of contemporary art might be. Through eight projects by artists initiated in the early 1990s and developed in collaboration with local people, the intention was to engage diverse groups over time, in addition to the visiting public in 1993. In the fifth book in Afterall's Exhibition Histories series, the course of these projects is documented, with critical reappraisal of this important exhibition in newly commissioned essays and interviews, together with reviews from the time.

Summary:
De Paris à New York : à la fin des années 1920, la gare Saint- Lazare, reconstruite par Juste Lisch en 1889, est la plus importante gare de Paris par son trafic de banlieue comme par la desserte de destinations lointaines. Aujourd'hui, dans la gare rénovée, les 114 verrières inaugurées en 1930, en verre gravé et peint, dessinées pour la plupart par Charles Sarteur (1874-1933), ingénieur chargé des travaux et peintre de talent, reprennent leur rôle de vitrine des trésors artistiques de la France de l'entre-deux-guerres. Réalisé avec le concours de SNCF Gares & Connexions, cet ouvrage fait du visiteur, qu'il soit d'un jour ou quotidien, un voyageur : il le guide dans l'espace et l'emmène à travers le temps.
