Summary:
SHIFTS propels you into the future of Scotland's Central Belt and gives you a glimpse into the year 2057. Imagine the transformation of the M8 into a major tourist attraction running through Scotland's Central Forest. Imagine the creation of a new canal connecting the west and the east coast, wide enough to carry a floating opera house or a football stadium. Imagine a decentralisation of political and economical power, producing local decision-making structures that support local identity, culture and production. Imagine Scotland relying only on hydro and wind power, beeing Europe's main export nation of green energy. Imagine the Central Belt not as a zone to move through but to move to. Imagine the life that is faster and slower at the same time, a life that is healthier, greener and more fun. Imagine that SHIFTS have happened.

Summary:
Widely considered to be one of the most influential American living artists, Carrie Mae Weems has developed a practice celebrated for her exploration of cultural identity, power dynamics, desire, intimacy and social justice through a body of work that challenges the prevailing representations of race, gender, and class. Defined by the use of photography, installation, film, performance and textile, her remarkably diverse and radical practice questions dominant ideologies and historical narratives created and disseminated within science, architecture, and mass media. Published in the context of her solo exhibitions at Barbican Art Gallery London and Kunstmuseum Basel, this book brings together a selection of Weems’ own writings, lectures, and conversations for the first time, providing personal insights into themes such as the consequences of power, artistic appropriation, music as inspiration, history-making, and the normative role of architecture.

This first monograph on Canadian artist Steven Shearer plunges the reader into the phenomenally versatile work he creates based on material in his extensive image bank of some 36,000 JPEGs of clippings, Xeroxes, and found photos. Shearer's obsession is his own development as a teenaged boy, and issues around teen identity and social class. The 67 works presented here - a mix of paintings, posters, highly intricate photo-collages, drawings and written poems, from his 2007 exhibitions at Ikon and The Power Plant galleries - while animated by the culture of Heavy Metal music, ultimately reveal the - need to belong - that helps define the human condition, especially during adolescence. Excellent interpretive essays by curators Nigel Prince, Helena Reckitt and Nancy Tousley.

Summary:
For 30 years, David T. Hanson (born 1948) has made photographs that are widely celebrated for their powerful depictions of the American landscape and its dramatic transformation and despoilment by humans. His newest collection, Wilderness to Wasteland, presents four series of previously unpublished and unexhibited photographs from Hanson’s early work, made between 1982 and 1987. Atomic City documents the former nuclear boomtown in Idaho, site of the world’s first nuclear power plant and first reactor meltdown. The Richest Hill on Earth is a study of the vast copper mines, housing and surrounding wasteland of Butte, Montana. The eponymous series is a dynamic group of aerial and ground-view photographs of hazardous waste sites, while the final series, Twilight in the Wilderness, comprises spectacular night views of industrial sites for power production. Together, these photographs constitute a haunting meditation on a ravaged landscape.
