Summary:
Published in 1974 by Norman Fisher in New York, "Two pipes fourteen locations" is the very first book created by Peter Downsbrough using photographs. In sixty-three images, from various perspectives, the artist documents fourteen of his Two Pipes. Each sculpture consists of two standard steel pipes planted vertically. One has an above-ground height of five meters fifty (19'). Cut, the other has variable length. The distance between them is invariably eight centimeters (3''). Whether outdoors, in an exhibition space, or on a piece of paper, the Two Poles and Two Lines will accompany the Two Pipes in this tensioning of space. The book, "Two pipes fourteen locations", opens with a plate of captions. It provides information on the dimensions and location of the pieces. The very first photograph reproduced in the book is a close-up shot. The image is cropped. It foreshadows the photographic work that the artist Peter Downsbrough would develop over several decades.

Summary:
From the grandiose histories of monumental state building projects to the minutiae of street signs and corner cafés, from the rebuilding of capital cities to the provision of the humble public toilet, "Clean living under difficult circumstances" argues for the city as a socialist project. This essay collection spans a period from immediately before the 2008 financial crash to the year of the pandemic. Against the business-as-usual responses to both crises, Owen Hatherley outlines a vision of the city as both a venue for political debate and dispute as well as a space of everyday experience, one that we shape as much as it shapes us. Incorporated here are the genres of memoir, history, music and film criticism, as well as portraits of figures who have inspired new ways of looking at cities, such as the architect Zaha Hadid, the activist and urbanist Jane Jacobs, and thinkers such as Mark Fisher and Adam Curtis. Throughout these pieces, Hatherley argues that the only way out of our difficult circumstances is to imagine and try to construct a better modernity.
