Summary:
Jill Johnston- cultural critic, auto/biographer, and lesbian icon- began her career at the Village Voice as a critic of dance and performance, writing about Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, the activities at Judson Church, Allan Kaprow and Happenings, Fluxus, and the downtown New York art scene. The column eventually became more personal than critical, allowing her to discuss her life, her sexuality, and her politics. This book brings together thirty texts Johnston wrote for the Voice between 1960 and 1974, beginning with her early dance coverage and continuing though the time when, as she put it, "the column moved from the theatre of dance and happenings toward the theatre of my life." As Johnston abandoned an objective critical standpoint, her column interwove forms and formats, and political, literary, art-historical, and critical perspectives, taking turns and loops, reflecting its time and contexts- with the one constant being Johnston's unmistakable, witty, intimate voice. As a person and as a writer she pioneered a model that not only challenged notions of writerly appropriateness but also performed and created a new lesbian identity.

It concatenated art, research, and urban activism into a visionary hybrid framework.

Summary:
For three weeks in October 1968, Stockholm's Moderna Museet was transformed into a sprawling adventure playground that was free to access for all of the city's children. It concatenated art, research, and urban activism into a visionary hybrid framework. Half a century later, through a series of seminars, exhibitions, and new artworks, 'The New Model' revisits this utopian intervention, reviving discussions of public participation, children's agency, and shifting ideals of collective being. Curated by Lars Bang Larsen and Maria Lind, these inquiries took place from 2011 to 2015 at and around Tensta konsthall, in one of Stockholm's late-modernist suburbs. Through essays, exhibition documentation, and dialogues with the participating artists--among them Palle Nielsen, Magnus Bärtås, Hito Steyerl, Ane Hjort Guttu, and Dave Hullfish Bailey--this volume charts the evolution of two artistic, curatorial, and institutional experiments.

Summary:
This volume investigates the cut-up as a contemporary mode of creativity and important global model of cultural production. The term cut-up thereby serves as an open container for a long list of terms and actions that describe the combination and reassembly of existing motifs, fragments, images and ideas from diverse and disconnected origins into newly synthesized entities. Refusing any disciplinary coherence, this book assembles texts from multifarious eras and origins. At the same time, the contributors share an urgency to question the dichotomy of original creation and derivative appropriation. In this way, the book itself is a cut-up of previously published essays and articles that in their proximity allow for multiple readings to arise. It aims to translate the topic into a wider societal discourse to serve as both a source of inspiration and a platform for critical reflection.

Summary:
The future is not as far away as it might seem. What seemed a problem of the next generation now has become a problem of tomorrow. We are accelerating towards a future that is evermore present, guided by political and economic forces that seem unintelligible. Is this quick-paced intangible progression, the role of the architect is at stake. How can architecture keep up with society? Can it adapt quickly enough to frame it? And is so, what should that frame look like? These are some of the questions embedded in the premise of the three advanced studios presented in this book conducted by the three of Yale School of Architecture's Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professors in 2016 and 2017. Michael Young investigates the past from the future in "Aesthetics of Accelerationism: The Icelandic Infrastructure 2036-2056." Kersten Geers analyzes visions for agricultural ensembles for communal living in "Architecture Without Consent 19: Almost Classicism." And David Erdman looks to the potential of building on top of housing estates in Hong Kong in "Objects and Qualities." The book features interviews with the professors and essays on their specific studio topics.

Il pose de nouvelles questions, encore peu traitées dans la littérature, en s’intéressant à la trajectoire sociale des fondateurs d’espaces de coworking, aux nouvelles manières des jeunes générations de travailleurs du numérique de conjuguer leurs aspirations de liberté et d’épanouissement dans les domaines professionnel et privé, ainsi qu’à leurs nouveaux rapports à la collaboration, au travail, au territoire, à la mobilité et aux questions écologiques.

Summary:
Presque toutes les villes, grandes et petites, sont le théâtre de projections et d’installations permettant d’investir l’espace public et de réduire la durée et l’obscurité de la nuit. Le phénomène qu’est la mise en scène de la lumière a pris de l’ampleur au cours des dernières décennies grâce, entre autres, aux technologies qui ne cessent de se perfectionner et de devenir plus inventives, plus performantes, plus résistantes à diverses contraintes, permettant de concevoir et de réaliser des projets jusqu’à tout récemment inimaginables. Les pratiques et les attentes des artistes et du public se sont aussi transformées, et on a vu apparaître des approches axées sur l’art relationnel, l’art d’intervention, le Net art et les médias sociaux mettant directement à contribution les citoyens dans l’espace public de la nuit. Pour répondre à une demande plus grande – provenant parfois d’initiatives d’artistes, d’organisations ou de regroupements de citoyens, mais aussi du secteur privé et des institutions publiques, des villes et des musées –, les recherches sur la mise en scène de la lumière se sont donc récemment multipliées. Ces dernières sont reprises dans le présent ouvrage, articulées autour d’exemples et de réflexions d’artistes, de pionniers et de spécialistes du domaine artistique. L’ensemble des projets, des réflexions et des positions présentés ici couvre un très vaste spectre, dénotant l’ampleur et la complexité de la mise en scène de la lumière dans le milieu urbain et, plus largement, dans l’espace public. La lumière retrouve ici sa place d’élément premier, celui qui rend visible, celui qui fait circuler l’énergie et, ultimement, l’élément par lequel la vie advient.

Summary:
Public space is an essence of urban life, of a city's living quality. The (re-) transformation of space today used by the dense traffic prevalent in urban areas into truly public space is a highly effective way to increase its quality and quantity in cities of all sizes and larger metropolitan areas. The starting point of any such increase is to ensure a better balance between the various uses of space: more room for pause and the slow traffic of pedestrians and cyclists, less for handling of goods and the faster, passive mobility by car. Traditional planning principles in urban and traffic design will no longer do; new approaches and instruments are required. This new book introduces to the reader these approaches and instruments, affecting the actual design as well as the planning process, as creative strategies rather than as a rigid set of rules. It is about networking, co-production, involving local businesses, co-usage of space, circular metabolism, and an appropriate aesthetic. Using inspiring reference projects as well as their own work, architects and urban designers Stefan Bendiks und Aglaee Degros offer a forward-looking insight into how traffic space can become much needed public space.
