Summary:
Dwelling for Intervals is a morphing International Artist Residency program, based on a forest retreat, that has hosted more than 150 resident artists from around the world since it began in 2001. First known as “A Week in the Woods”, it was situated in a room, in an apartment, in Montreal. Three years later, it became “This Neck of the Woods”, in a cabin in a backyard in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Finally, the project became a roving para-site called “Knock on Woods” which has temporarily staked claim to land in Holland, France, Portugal, Berlin, Japan, and Canada. Dwelling for Intervals is an independent state, a sculpture, a series of collaborations, an international artist residency, a wilderness, a tree house, a travelling circus and a relative site/situation for temporary doing and undoing. The publication documents both the sites and the on-site work of the residents.

Summary:
Il incarne à lui seul l'esprit tchèque de l'entre-deux-guerres et la vitalité de la scène praguoise dont l'apport à la culture européenne reste essentiel. Née du pictorialisme, l'œuvre de Drtikol est profondément marquée, dans une première phase, par le courant symboliste. Au tournant des années 1920, fonctionnalisme, cubisme, abstraction et art déco imprègnent ses recherches : la composition fait place à une géométrie nouvelle, l'éclairage se contraste, le nu se fragmente. De Prague, où il fut le fameux portraitiste des élites en vogue, à Paris, où la publication de ses nus consacra sa renommée internationale, Frantisek Drtikol a imposé par sa technique magistrale, son originalité et sa profondeur conceptuelle une photographie résolument novatrice.

Summary:
Skate-parks in abandoned industrial estates, ponies grazing alongside the former Berlin Wall, flea markets in disused warehouses, music and fashion in hard-to-let stores and climbing walls in development niches – scarcely a city in Europe has been so radically characterized by temporary use projects as has Berlin. Temporary use projects are increasingly of strategic importance for urban development, for space pioneers open up new development prospects at disused sites that defy the traditional urban planning. Combining a documentation of over 40 temporary use projects in Berlin with a series of essays and interviews, this book offers comprehensive insight into current discourse and proposes new guidelines for how temporary use projects might shape urban development.
