Summary:
The critical concept of site-specificity once seemed to harbour the potential for disruption. But site-specific work has become increasingly assimilated into the capitalist logic of regeneration and value creation. The materialist critique of the art object has been shortcircuited by the franchised idiosyncrasies of international nomad flâneurs. And on a planet whose(...)

Summary:
The critical concept of site-specificity once seemed to harbour the potential for disruption. But site-specific work has become increasingly assimilated into the capitalist logic of regeneration and value creation. The materialist critique of the art object has been shortcircuited by the franchised idiosyncrasies of international nomad flâneurs. And on a planet whose entire surface is mapped and apped, the concept of ‘site’ itself becomes ever more problematic. How can we do justice to the particularity of local sites while unearthing their material conditions? What do a contemporary ‘geo-philosophy’ and the historical legacy of site-specific art have to offer each other? Can we develop methods for the controlled unpacking of the local into the global, avoiding trivial reconciliations between local sites and their global conditions? "When site lost the plot" charts some of the ways in which site continues to be a concern for contemporary practice; and introduces the concept of ‘plot’ as an alternative approach. Alongside artists discussing their practice and their approach to site and plot, contributors from various disciplines introduce concepts from cartography, mathematics, film, fiction, design, and philosophy.

Il a fallu cependant attendre une date récente pour que des avancées dans le domaine de l’ingénierie structurelle permettent de considérer la surface de la terre comme un élément architectural à part entière. La prise de conscience de la raréfaction des ressources naturelles et l’influence grandissante des architectes paysagistes ont également incité certains créateurs parmi les plus prestigieux à inventer des formes qui s’intègrent à la topographie naturelle d’un lieu, la déploient, la subliment et à créer ce que l’on pourrait appeler des gratteterre en opposition aux gratte-ciel. Du terminal de tramway de Zaha Hadid en France à la bibliothèque d’Alexandrie de Snøhetta en Egypte, de la maison nichée dans une colline du Pays de Galles de Future Systems au Spencer Theatre d’Antoine Predock aux Etats- Unis, les cinquante projets présentés dans ce livre révèlent l’importance de cette nouvelle voie architecturale.

Summary:
In the decades after World War II, artists and designers of the land art movement used the natural landscape to create monumental site-specific artworks. Second Site offers a powerful meditation on how environmental change and the passage of time alter and transform the meanings—and sometimes appearances—of works created to inhabit a specific place. James Nisbet offers fresh approaches to well-known artworks by Ant Farm, Rebecca Belmore, Nancy Holt, Richard Serra, and Robert Smithson. He also examines the work of less recognized artists such as Agnes Denes, Bonnie Devine, and herman de vries. Nisbet tracks the vicissitudes wrought by climate change and urban development on site-specific artworks, taking readers from the plains of Amarillo, Texas, to a field of volcanic rock in Mexico City, to abandoned quarries in Finland.
