Summary:
In The Just City, Fainstein draws on the work of John Rawls, Martha Nussbaum, Iris Marion Young, Nancy Fraser, and others to develop an approach to justice relevant to twenty-first-century cities, one that incorporates three central concepts: diversity, democracy, and equity. Fainstein also tests her ideas through case studies of New York, London, and Amsterdam by evaluating their postwar programs for housing and development in relation to the three norms. She concludes by identifying a set of specific criteria for urban planners and policymakers to consider when developing programs to assure greater justice in both the process of their formulation and their effects.

Summary:
"One place after another" offers a critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s and a theoretical framework for examining the rhetoric of aesthetic vanguardism and political progressivism associated with its many permutations. Informed by urban theory, postmodernist criticism in art and architecture, and debates concerning identity politics and the public sphere, the book addresses the siting of art as more than an artistic problem. It examines site specificity as a complex cipher of the unstable relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism. The book addresses the work of, among others, John Ahearn, Mark Dion, Andrea Fraser, Donald Judd, Renée Green, Suzanne Lacy, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Richard Serra, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Fred Wilson.

Summary:
One of the defining paintings of British Pop art, Richard Hamilton's Swingeing London 67(f) depicts two men--Mick Jagger and Hamilton's art dealer, Robert Fraser--handcuffed together in the back of a police van. The image is taken from a newspaper photograph that shows the two being driven from Lewes prison to Chichester Magistrates Court following their June 1967 arrest for possession of drugs. Andrew Wilson views Swingeing London 67 (f) as history painting, to be understood in the context of the struggle against the British state's attempt--aided and abetted by the popular press--to repress any expression of personal liberation. Hamilton's Pop art idiom of figuration and media images was his way of refusing the demands of an old aesthetic order.

Summary:
Sous quelles formes et en quels lieux se déploient aujourd'hui les pratiques artistiques? N'étant plus confinés à la triade atelier, galerie, musée, les artistes créent des alternatives à l'institutionnalisation de l'art en investissant des non-lieux, ou encore en modelant leur pratique artistique sur d'autres secteurs de l'activité humaine tels l'espace public/privé, les territoires social et psychologique, la recherche scientifique, le politique. Ce livre propose une réflexion sur ces différents lieux et leur incidence sur notre conception d'art, sur les conditions de réception, sur le statut de l'auteur et sur le rôle du spectateur. Plusieurs approches artistiques sont considérées : pratiques infiltrantes, manœuvres, actions, relationnelles et performatives, interventions in situ. Le pouvoir que l'art a de transformer notre perception des situations et des activités quotidiennes débouche sur la convergence, une valeur ajoutée à la coexistence. Avec des textes de: Paul Ardenne, Aline Caillet, Nathalie de Blois, Marie Fraser, Emmanuelle Léonard, Luc Lévesque, Christof Migone, Alain-Martin Richard, Kathleen Ritter, Véronique Rodriguez, et Stephen Wright. // In what forms and in what places are artistic practices deployed today? No longer confined to the triad studio-gallery-museum, artists are creating alternatives to the art world: public/private space; psychological/social territories; scientific research; politics; the workplace. This book is an invitation to consider how these non-traditional places for production/diffusion impact on our conceptions of art, the status of the artist/author, and the role of the spectator. Diverse artistic approaches are considered - infiltration practices, manoeuvres, relational and performative actions, site-specific intervention - all of which foreground relations of coexistence. Texts by: Paul Ardenne, Aline Caillet, Nathalie de Blois, Marie Fraser, Emmanuelle Léonard, Luc Lévesque, Christof Migone, Alain-Martin Richard, Kathleen Ritter, Véronique Rodriguez, and Stephen Wright.

"Art and its institutions" is a reader on current institutional conditions and the role of institutions within artistic processes.

Can art express questions about justice? Could art, perhaps, even create justice? In Aesthetic Justice, sociologist Pascal Gielen and curator Niels Van Tomme invite a variety of artists and critical thinkers—including Zoe Beloff, Arne De Boever, Mark Fisher, Matt Fraser, Tessa Overbeek, Kerry James Marshall, Viktor Misiano, Carlos Motta, Nat Muller, Julie Atlas Muz, Gerald Raunig, Dieter Roelstraete, Hito Steyerl, Julia Svetlichnaja, Hakan Topal, Samuel Vriezen and Christian Wolff—to reflect on new futures for the notion and practice of justice. The book offers thought-provoking views on the ways in which art may confront and potentially redirect social and political futures. Incorporating analyses of contemporary artworks that challenge the social, political or economic status quo, as well as interviews with artists and theoretical reflections, Aesthetic Justice considers the liberating potential of aesthetic frameworks and suggests alternatives for a more just future.

Summary:
With his memorably titled 1956 collage "Just What is it that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?", British artist Richard Hamilton (born 1922) heralded the British Pop revolution; and with his 1967 Swingeing London series of prints, which depicted the arrest of Mick Jagger and Robert Fraser, Hamilton's art entered the general public consciousness. But unlike so many Pop artists, Hamilton was never an uncritical or ambivalent advocate of postwar society, and he has often agitated directly against it, producing a great deal of openly political, satirical work that assaults both consumer culture at large and more immediate political events. This monograph, published for Hamilton's 2010 exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London (his first exhibition since 1992), brings together Hamilton's famous "protest" paintings as well as newer political works and features essays by Benjamin H.D. Buchloh and Michael Bracewell.

Summary:
Erickson worked chiefly in concrete, which he called "the marble of our times," and wherever they appear, his buildings move the spirit with their poetic freshness and their mission to inspire. Travel was key to Erickson’s creative process: floating high above the clouds on extended flights, he made the preliminary drawings for the spectacular, large-scale works that would be built in various parts of Canada -Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall, Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University - and around the world.This first full biography of Erickson, who died in 2009 at the age of 84, traces his life from its modest origins to his emergence on the world stage. Grounded in interviews with Erickson and his family, friends and clients, Arthur Erickson is both an intimate portrait of the man and a stirring account of how he made his buildings work.
