Summary:
In ''Urbanism Without Effort,'' Chuck Wolfe argues that 'unplanned' places can often teach us more about great placemaking than planned ones.

From impromptu movie nights in a Seattle alley to the adapted reuse of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia, Wolfe searches for the 'first principles' of what makes humans feel happy and safe amid the hustle and bustle of urban life. He highlights the common elements of cities around the world that spontaneously bring people together: being inherently walkable, factors that contribute to safety at night, the importance of intersections and corners, and more. In this age of skyrocketing metropolitan growth, he argues, looking to the past might be our best approach to creating the urban future we dream about.

Même si c'était la volonté de Stein de créer des liens entre écriture et arts, ce rapport ne serait qu'imparfaitement relaté si on s'en tenait à l'évidente sur-présence de la peinture et de la sculpture dans sa vie. Outre les études novatrices sur la relation de Stein à Duchamp et Picabia, outre les études sur la construction du mythe de Stein en peinture et la réception de ses écrits par les artistes, ce volume cherche à couvrir un terrain plus étendu, qui va de la photographie au cinéma. Ainsi, cet ensemble d'études cherche à réévaluer le rapport de Gertrude Stein aux arts et à complexifier les rapports entre écriture et arts visuels dans son œuvre.

In 1965 he restored the term "intermedia" to the English language, giving it new dimension to recognize the dissolution of boundaries between traditional modes of art-making and the open field for new forms that cannot be compartmentalized. His own contributions to intermedia are many—as a participant and instigator of happenings, as writer and composer straddling traditional and vanguard forms, among others—but it was Something Else Press (1963–74) that redefined how "the book" could inhabit that energized, in-between space.

On Aira's path, everything comes under question - from reproducibility of artworks to the value of the written word itself. In the end, Aira leaves us stranded on the bridge between writing and art that he set out to construct in the first place. Like the great writers Walter Benjamin and Hermann Broch before him, Aira operates in the space between fiction and essay writing, art and analysis. Pursuing questions about reproducibility, art making, and limits of language, Aira's unique voice adds new insights to the essential conversations that continue to inform our understanding of art.
