Summary:
A three-year enterprise is charted in this volume that chronicles the editors’ survey of their architectural colleagues, which asked them to identify problems in their cities and seek solutions for them. This series of projects received considerable public attention and media and the study digs deeper, exploring new possibilities for dialogue regarding public space that exists between the triumvirate of architects, municipal officials, and the general public. The collected interviews focus mainly on exhibitions in major cities such as Bratislava in Slovakia or Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic, as well as blogs and presentations surrounding individual projects. Illustrating these projects as processes that can bring about significant progress in the field, this discussion divides its content between the texts of the featured architects and the details of the 60 projects in question. This edition is written in both English and Slovak.

Open 12 : Freedom of culture
$42.00

Summary:
The contemporary public domain, the "free" space where culture is produced and exchanged, is under pressure. The exchange and distribution of cultural products ("content" in the form of music, image or text) is easier in digital society, but increasingly hemmed in by corresponding moves towards greater regulation and control, new copyright laws and intellectual property(...)

Summary:
The contemporary public domain, the "free" space where culture is produced and exchanged, is under pressure. The exchange and distribution of cultural products ("content" in the form of music, image or text) is easier in digital society, but increasingly hemmed in by corresponding moves towards greater regulation and control, new copyright laws and intellectual property policy. Instead of enjoying a "free culture," we are watching the emergence of what Lawrence Lessig calls "a permission culture." Simultaneously, as an aspect of broader privatization and regulation processes, private entities are appropriating more and more of public culture, and deciding what is made available or publicly accessible. This issue of the Dutch architectural journal, Open, investigates the root causes of these developments, how they interrelate and what the implications are for the "free" production and practice of culture, as well as for the internal dynamics and balance of power in the public domain.

Summary:
Chronicling the sometimes doomed but persistently heroic efforts of small groups of artists to reclaim public space and time, this publication describes the trend towards collectivity manifested in the visual art world during the past decade, and the small forms of resistance to digital disembodiment and the hegemony of the entertainment/media/culture industry. For all its faults, Kraus argues, the art world remains the last frontier for the desire to live differently.
